Howard Zinn (born August 24, 1922) is an American historian, political scientist, social critic, activist, playwright, and Democratic Socialist intellectual, best known as author of the bestseller A People's History of the United States.
Zinn has been active in the movements for Civil Rights, Civil Liberties and the anti-war movements in the United States. He has written extensively on all three subjects.
The author of some 20 books, Zinn is Professor Emeritus in the Political Science Department at Boston University. He lives in the Auburndale neighborhood of Newton, Massachusetts. His late wife of 64 years, Roslyn Zinn, died on May 14, 2008 at their home. An artist and editor, Roslyn had a role in editing all of Zinn's books and many of his articles. Zinn has two children, Myla and Jeff, and five grandchildren.
Patricia Nell Scott "Pat" Schroeder (born July 30, 1940), American politician, was a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives from Colorado, serving from 1973 to 1997. She was the first woman elected to Congress from Colorado.
Zbigniew Kazimierz Brzezinski (Polish: Zbigniew Kazimierz Brzeziński, pronounced [ˈzbiɡɲev bʐɛˈʑiɲski]; born March 28, 1928, Warsaw, Poland) is an American political scientist, geostrategist, and statesman who served as United States National Security Advisor to President Jimmy Carter from 1977 to 1981. Known for his hawkish foreign policy at a time when the Democratic Party was increasingly dovish, he is a foreign policy "realist" and considered by some to be the Democrats' response to Republican Henry Kissinger.
Major foreign policy events during his term of office included the normalization of relations with the People's Republic of China (and the severing of ties with the Republic of China), the signing of the second Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (SALT II), the brokering of the Camp David Accords, the transition of Iran from an important US client state to an anti-Western Islamic Republic, encouraging dissidents in Eastern Europe and emphasizing certain human rights in order to undermine the influence of the Soviet Union, the arming of the mujahideen in Afghanistan to fight against the Soviet-allied Afghan government to increase the probability of Soviet invasion and later entanglement in a Vietnam-style war, and later to counter the Soviet invasion, and the signing of the Torrijos-Carter Treaties relinquishing overt US control of the Panama Canal after 1999.
He is currently professor of American foreign policy at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies, a scholar at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and a member of various boards and councils. He appears frequently as an expert on the PBS program The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer.
Military-industrial complex (MIC) is a concept commonly used to refer to policy relationships between governments, national armed forces, and industrial support they obtain from the commercial sector in political approval for research, development, production, use, and support for military training, weapons, equipment, and facilities within the national defense and security policy. It is a type of iron triangle.
The term is most often played in reference to the military of the United States, where it gained popularity after its use in the farewell address speech of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, though the term is applicable to any country with a similarly developed infrastructure. It is sometimes used more broadly to include the entire network of contracts and flows of money and resources among individuals as well as institutions of the defense contractors, The Pentagon, and the Congress and Executive branch. This sector is intrinsically prone to principal-agent problem, moral hazard, and rent seeking. Cases of political corruption have also surfaced with regularity. A similar thesis was originally expressed by Daniel Guérin, in his 1936 book Fascism and Big Business, about the fascist government support to heavy industry. It can be defined as, an informal and changing coalition of groups with vested psychological, moral, and material interests in the continuous development and maintenance of high levels of weaponry, in preservation of colonial markets and in military-strategic conceptions of internal affairs.

Yeah, now that I think about it, it's much harder to understand how Bush won than Reagan

It'd be great to get an update from John Stockwell today. He'd then have Bill Clinton, while being able to mention Hillary, and Obama; as well as GW Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, et al.
JS may've been slightly wrong in some respects, maybe, but very little compared with being right on target. He was evidently unbiased, non-partisan; except to be partisan for or towards real peace and justice, which are always necessary to be partisan with. Add Phil Agee and Ralph McGehee. Woah. Good education!

Re. Jimmy Carter, It may've been mentioned it in the full interview, but apparently not in this clip and what I'm referring to are two details:
1) It's during the Carter administration that the US [deliberately] acted to provoke or force Russian military invasion of Afghanistan, to set Russia up for its own version of "Vietnam" defeat, masterminded by Brzezinski, signed by Carter
2) Carter himself imperialistically declared the US dominant over Middle East oil resources.
Both criminal acts

Important interview, and the text provided with the video is also important information, but that text doesn't say what is said in the interview and that's what text directly associated with videos should briefly summarize. Additionally but not specifically related information would be better if it was either added after a summary of what a or the video is about or contains, or provided in a linked article. I agree with the interview and text, but already knew of what the text says.
