A recent talking point re-emerges in another light....

[Ian Livingston]

Quite alright. I'm not a good conspiracy junkie, but just because I
don't buy 'em doesn't eliminate them from the realm of possibilities.
I'm also no good at sanctifying political figures, but I do generally
give them credit for being devious bastards, because that's the only
way to get elected. You have steal money and make people think they're
paying you for something, then you have to make them love you so much
for it they want to give you more. And so on.

That said, I just don't know. Your insistence might convince me of the
rightness of your position if it were the only part of the story, but,
come on, I was young at the time, but the history of the era does not
incline me to think people were any stupider then than they are now.
For the K. to put up such a fuss about 'commies' just seems a little
weak. I know Johnston continued to use the 'communist' threat as a
part of his hard-sell pitch, but, did that really fool the press?
Maybe. Yeah, it's possible. But, to whom could communism pose a
threat? Could the K. conceal one argument within another? Yeah, it's
possible. He was a pretty bright young man.

It's quite alright to disagree, but disagreeing doesn't make either of
us right either about that speech, or about the Rothschilds' grip on
the US economy.

"Less than any man have I  excuse for prejudice; and I feel for all
creeds the warm sympathy of one who has come to learn that even the
trust in reason is a precarious faith, and that we are all fragments
of darkness groping for the sun. I know no more about the ultimates
than the simplest urchin in the streets." -- Will Durant
