Start at 23:55. It’s powerful. It is still highly topical.
In my view, if you look around you, look at all the people mouthing Communist gobbledy-gook with glazed eyes, even though they have Ph.D’s or power at a national level, it’s impossible to conclude that Barry Goldwater was wrong about anything. I personally don’t think he was. He was simply the target of one of the successful smear campaigns in American political history. If he had been elected, we most likely would not have gone to war in Vietnam, but if we had, we would have won, at a fraction of the cost. And the people who were, then, pushing that war KNEW IT.
It is perhaps stating something mostly true that he was the Trump of that era, and lacked Trump’s money, name recognition, and overall charisma. But he was also the daily target of nearly every media outlet in existence, even though he was speaking obvious common sense, as indeed Ron and Rand Paul have been. In their own ways, they have continued in his footsteps.
The Dark State–or if you prefer Deep State–goes back we don’t really know how long. Psychopaths are good at getting power and wealth, and when they do, they want more of both, so that becomes their main policy aim. Their names and specific agendas vary, and as I say, it is reasonable to suppose their agendas sometimes conflict, and sometimes cohere. There may be a unitary Them, but that is rare in human history. Strange bedfellows are common.
Big Lies in this country are likely very old, going back many decades. That the Fed should exist at all is perhaps the biggest.
Anyway, give it a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXBswFfh6AY
