I disagree with his disgusting Imperial stance on Cuba.
I agree with his misgivings about the UN and especially his opposition to the Vietnam/Laos/Cambodia conflict!
He's dead wrong about a "socialist/communist" conspiracy - as there was an often antagonistic relationship between the proponents of market socialism in W. Europe and the USSR's authoritarian command economy. The conspiracy was always a capitalist geopolitical grab for the world's natural resources, trade routes & cheap labor.
Absolutley he knew. He knew it was the bankers who had hijacked our nation, but had also financed communism and kept it afloat the whole time, using "western democracies" (no longer republics) to do the real funding.
Yep the full account or lecture here makes it plain, and he endorsed "None Dare Call It Conspiracy" that blows the lid off the fact too, published 5 years or so after this speech was given.
@EmpireOfHeaven None Dare Call It Conspiracy was an excellent book and so was None Dare Call It Treason. I used to go to out of print bookshops and buy copies of them for next to nothing and then give them away to those that I thought would read them and tell them to pass them on to others they thought would do the same. Can you freaking believe that I've seen copies of those two books in the god damned Sci Fi sections of book stores?!
In the U.S., in 1905, in southern Georgia, commercial orange groves thrived. In 2010 commercial orange groves have retreated to the south of central Florida due to the preponderance of hard freezes since 1985.
It [education] is favorable to liberty. Freedom can exist only in the society of knowledge. Without learning, men are incapable of knowing their rights, and where learning is confined to a few people, liberty can be neither equal nor universal.
Millions will gather in every state to take back their Constitution. The action required of all Patriots is three fold:

The Last Best Hope of Humanity and Liberty. America is great because She is Good. And when She ceases to be good, when she forgets The God of this Nation who is Christ, America will cease to be great. I fear we have traveled far down that road of slavery. But if we love and understand Liberty, we may yet survive as a soverign nation, UNDER GOD.
The reason God sent ETB to be the prophet 20 years ago instead of today is because if he was the prophet today he would explode trying to maintain the political neutrality the Church has to maintain.
@altillydabum Because many of us do not listen when we are being warned. Many of us don't like how uncomfortable reality really is. We are in the Aweful situation Mormon Spoke about in Ether 8:21-26

I wonder if, in the back of President Benson's mind, he knew that the US and USSR were working together all along. (And still are, I might add.)

Honest attempts at government fail because the private sector sabotages it.
Once the private sector compromises public institutions, they become more corrupt than having none at all.
The current government in America, served us, as well as it could, it's time to REBOOT.
We need to have a worldwide pow wow...ON THE RECORD...NO CLOSED DOORS...PERIOD.
We need to reassess what we have in common and how we can allow each individual as much freedom as possible & still hold EVERYONE accountable.
