Ian Carroll is someone worth listening to. His research is prodigious and his skills are exemplary. Here he discusses what I like to call a mafia-style operation, a layered network of power, that keeps even well-meaning people confused, embittered, and distracted. It is one of those videos you watch and may say, “Yes! That is exactly what I was thinking, what I always want to say but just don’t have the words.

The host’s contribution isn’t too shabby in itself.

Carroll’s take on Trump is also consistent with what mine has evolved into. It’s a good place to be, in a place of nuance and not shackled to one side of an arbitrary binary.

It’s one of those seven-minute investments that will make you instantly smarter. It will show you, if you follow my work, why I follow the information war so religiously. This is a war for reality, the war of good and evil.

What a time to be alive–when everyone is discovering all of this.

Warning, a little language drop at the very end. Enjoy.

(All apologies, as right as I was uploading the video, I got a message saying it couldn’t upload. So I’m going to have to link to my personal website, where the video is located. I am very sorry to have to redirect you).

Now, still enjoy. 🙂
