27. Ken Burns Has It Right

Funny this came up, I just got his series on the Roosevelts and am going through it.

These alt right movements start with propoganda and misinformation...to get enough people to blame the wrong culprit for their woes. It is really the MI complex and the gilded set, the Banksters, etc but not when you listen to FOX and Rush, etc.. They work to convince you it is immigrants and a bevy of Welfare Queens.

We are at a crossroad to be sure. The good news is that young folks are turning away from cable, harder to brainwash.

Hillary is going to win. Then we'll see what happens after that.
