  • we are a facist nation now

  • FDR was just as bad! 

  • Now it seems that America's enemies are who Israel dictates. After decades of trying to control Arabs through bribes and threats, there may turn democratic and rule themselves. Israel is not too happy with democracy in the Middle East.

  • @edthewise The American people wasted their time because they were manipulated to waste their time.

    I say this as a virulent anti-communist in my teenage years.

    When the Cold War ended, I was disappointed.

    Now, of course, my feelings on the subject were a fucking waste of time.

    It was a bonanza for policy makers and corporate America.

    They profited handsomely from this cold war scheme.

    Just as they profit from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    Only one real rule: Don't mess with the money

  • We wasted almost 50 years fighting communism when it was all a bad Madison Avenue job pulled on the American public.

  • Very true. Corporate America had no problem with scaring people and touting anti-communism because it helps them through defense contractors and firm that support the military directly or indirectly.

    Eisenhower was probably the best Republican President since Lincoln (and that's not saying much) because he understood the rise and influence of the "military industrial complex" and he cut back on defense spending with money appropirated toward highways among other things.

  • @pvisserandorra Slaves will be slaves...

  • 4800 views, no one gives a flying fuck. Too bad.

  • Surprised not to see Cheney and Rumsfeld in the video.... LOL, sort of anyway.

  • Don't be disheartened watching this, i'm having chem trails and DU particulates for tea :)
