Great (recent) history lesson

[Pogo]

This has been out for a few months but I just saw it. Very very good perspective on how we got where we are spanning roughly the last four decades. Paints a very informative road map to how we got where we are and where we're not going.

Players:

• "Globalization"
• The Banks
  
• Henry Kissinger
• Hafez al-Hassad / Syria
  
• Moammar Ghaddafi
• Occupy Wall Street
• Donald Trump
• The Arab Spring
  
• Reality vs. Perception vs. Shapeshifting
• The internet/cyberspace
• Facebook
• Terrorism and the origins of suicide bombing
• Revolution / Anarchy and methods thereof
  
• Vladimir Putin

Bit players/pawns

• Ronald Reagan
• George W. Bush
• Barack Obama
• Tony Blair
• Gordon Brown
• David Cameron
• Saddam Hussein

​

It is a time investment. But it's worth it.

There seem to be multiple versions of the film of varying lenghts, often missing bits and pieces. I picked the longest one I could find. Doesn't appear the missing material is crucial, just interrupted sentences and such.

It seems to me that the current administration, barely two months old, is doing more to destroy the forty years of globalization and shape shifting politics than the world has ever seen. Even the U.K. has voted for independence from the globalization of the Euro. Maybe that's why the left is playing the Alinsky game and blaming Trump.
