His track record is one of subtle support for communism. I could hardly get through “Burr.” So full of made up stuff. Spent almost a whole page talking about Washington’s big rear end. Consistent with his fetishes.

Interesting take on Roosevelt's flaws. Never ever discussed on mainstream television or in documentaries. FDR occupies the same hallowed space as Clement Attlee the post war UK socialist prime minister. For documentary filmmakers these two are always beyond reproach which makes it hard to.judge them objectively so biased are the media.

It's October 2022, and we might be heading for a period of slow growth or even worse. Inflation is up along with the interest rates. All the currencies except the dollar are weak, stressing debt servicing and increasing deglobalisation alongside a war in Europe. The world bank has downgraded world growth pojections from 3.2 to 1.9%.Things not lookin good.

THE DEPRESSION WAS CREATED. BY THE OWNERS OF US ALL. THERE ARE LESS THAN 1000 RICH AND POWERFUL WHITE MEN.. THEY CREATE EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS ON THE GLOBE INCLUDING ALL THE WARS AND EVEN CREATE ALL THE PROPAGANDA WHICH YOU SEE ON TV. THEY CAN CREATE WEATHER CAUSING HURRICANES IN THE PHILIPPINES OR OTHER WEATHER EFFECTS WHICH CAN CAUSE GREAT MISERY TO PEOPLE AND COUNTRIES. THE CONGRESS AND POLITICIANS ARE BOUGHT AND PAID FOR BY THESE SAME ELITES. IT'S A CLUB A VERY CLOSED CLUB WHICH YOU AND I ARE NOT IN. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED AS TO THE DEPRESSION AS WELL. ALL PEOPLE NEEDED TO DO WAS TO MAKE AND SELL YOUR WARES ON THE STREET IN ORDER TO EAT AND TAKE CARE OF ONE'S FAMILY. WHENEVER SOMEONE SAYS TO YOU GET OUT IN THE STREETS AND BREAD LINES AND STARVE TO DEATH. DON'T BELIEVE IT. IF YOU DO YOU WILL ESSENTIALLY LOSE YOUR FREEDOM.
THIS WAS A GREAT DAY FOR YOUR OWNERS AS THEY MADE A HUGE SUM OF MONEY FROM SUCH TERROR INFLICTED UPON THE UNITED STATES AND THE REST OF THE GLOBE
THIS SITUATION WILL NEVER CHANGE AND IT WILL NEVER GET ANY BETTER BECAUSE THEY'VE GOT YOU BY THE BALLS, AND IT WON'T EVER CHANGE..SO DON'T EXPECT IT TO.

The only thing necessary in an industrial nation such as America the economy is all we have despite the fact that recessions strike and both parties are simply the same as I call them " THE ALL TO OBVIOUS ESTABLISHMENT " THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN EITHER AND WHEN ONE RETURNS HOME FOR CHRISTMAS OR THANKSGIVING, OLD UNCLE JOE RUINS THE HOLIDAY BY TALKING POLITICS THE WHOLE TIME. IT WAS ENTIRELY THE BEST WORK DONE BY YOUR OWNERS OR CONTROLERS TO KEEP THE MASSES CONTROLED AND THINKING YOU OR I HAD ANY RIGHTS . THERE ARE LESS THAN 1 THOUSAND OLD WHITE MEN WHO CONTROL THE ENTIRE WORLD AND IT WILL ALWAYS BE SO. BASICALLY BECAUSE OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM STINKS AS THE TEXTS DO NOT STATE THE TRUTH ABOUT AMERICA AND OUR COLONIALAZATION OF ALL OTHER COUNTRIES AND ISLANDS . ONE DOESN'T REALLY BELIEVE HAWAII WANTED TO BECOME A STATE. DO YOU?.

IF THE PEOPLE WERE TO BECOME PART OF NEVER ALLOWING YOUR CONTROLLERS OR YOUR OWNERS ,WHEN TOLD TO GET IN THE BREAD LINES AND DIE DUE TO THE FACTORIES BEING LOCKED ALL PEOPLE NEEDED TO DO IS UNLOCK THE FACTORY DOORS, MAKE THEIR PRODUCTS AND SELL THEM ON THE STREET. NEVER ALLOW ANOTHER TO TAKE AWAY YOUR FREEDOM
.ONCE THEY DO SO. YOU WILL MOST LIKELY NEVER SURVIVE

since it was gore who brought up the question as to where joe mccarthy was gay i immediately thought "gore is gay". from what I read, he certainly was. But hey, it is 2022 and everyone wants to be gay, know a gay, love a gay or be an african american or know one and well, you get where i am coming from. this country will not be around in 25 years.

Gore Vidal calls a series of presidents "very dim", all the way to FDR. Well, as big of a crook as Warren G Harding was, didn't he end the Depression of 1921 by being "bright enough" to do nothing and let the economy heal itself? Gore Vidal: a very complicated man. Look up his personal life.
