Gimme some of them US bucks.
Bob – I haven’t watched your video yet, but West Side Story was filmed in 1961. We were coming off one of our greatest decades in the 1950’s. Then the military industrial complex was just gaining steam as Eisenhower warned the country. The CIA getting more out of control. The start of the Vietnam war, the Bay of pigs in Cuba, Kennedy assassination. The decline of our culture with the hippie movement and women’s liberation, the massive expansion of government with the welfare system that largely destroyed the black family by Lyndon Johnson – one of our most corrupt presidents ever. IMHO the decline of the empire began then – although some will argue it began with the Federal Reserve in 1913. The complete destruction of the U.S. went on steroids after 9/11/2001.
Mr. Copper may have a different take, and since he’s my senior I will defer to him. 🙂
