I hoped he would touch more on Allen Dulles covert operations as head of the CIA in the JFK era, Bay of Pigs, and his (i would say suspicous) appointment to the Warren Commission. Americans learning this stuff is incredibly relevant today.
Thank you so much for this magnificent presentation, i live in Guatemala. Since that time Corporations still rule the country. All the richnes and land is owned by 1% and half are families from out the country. Because of the infernal war that it developed from this incident people started migrating to the US running away from poverty and war. I think this is the mayor outcome from the coup in Guatemala.
+jorge chiu There are many that hope you regain your country one day from the banking elite and Rothschild money empire that uses war to keep the populace under control and generate slaves for their industries.
+jorge chiu I also read the book "Bitter Fruit" by Richard Nuccio. On behalf of my country; I apologize for the pain and suffering inflicted on your country by my country.
I cringe at the sound of Dulles brothers; what they did not only to this country, but to a dozen other generations of humanity from Guatemala to Vietnam was criminal and their misspent time - along with Eisenhower and Nixon - should never be repeated again. The Brothers were criminals under the guise of representatives not only of the United States, but to all who have suffered because of their cruelty, bias, anti-Semitism, and a variety of prejudices - their love of money and power was a dominant factor in their relationship with to our nation and our democracy.
This guy is blaming Americans somehow for the evil manifestation of the Dulles brothers who were in control of US foreign policy after WW2. They were the sons and grandsons of Presbyterian preachers who presumably preached the ten commandments, but paradoxically perhaps the Dulles bros practiced hypocrisy and preached hatred. Allen played both sides. He, Prescott Bush and Averell Harriman financed Hitler's war machine but also led OSS from Switzerland before becoming director of the CIA. Both Dulles were known to be flagrant adulterers. Allen was sacked by JFK after the Bay of Pigs fiasco and was involved with Hoover, Jack Ruby, LBJ and George H W Bush in the assassination of JFK. Their legacy is one of betrayal, hypocrisy, greed and naked ambition.
Read the book -very well researched ... filled in many details about perhaps the most regrettable period in US history and a reflection of what is right and what is not so right.
Tanks for this in-depth analysis on the takeover of the US Democracy by a bunch plutocrats. Edgar Hoover also fits pretty well against this awful background of corruption. Let us hope than the US are much more than their financiers, monopolists and lamentable representatives.
Excellent documentaire sur la prise de pouvoir de la famille Dulles sur les USA, et sur leurs activités délétères au Département d'Etat et à la CIA dans les années 40-50
This is pure power nothing more. And the perpetual warfare of today is a very scary bit of residue that Ike warned us about. I fear we are on a path of no return. Tell the people you love just that ...
One pet peeve. I don't like when journalists use the new-speak of the government. It should be called what it is. American "exceptionalism" is really "unilateral aggression or interference". American "interests" are the interests of the business elites who own and run the United States of Oligarchs.

If the talk is representative of what's in the book, the book is a cover-up. It begins with the 1950s and ignores Allen Dulles's role in the Second World War. Allen Dulles can't be understood without understanding his connection to transnational Nazism. See (with an audio link to an archived radio broadcast): spitfirelist.com/for-the-record/ftr-578-darkness-at-sunrise/ or listen to the earlier and less-detailed, earlier ua-cam.com/video/6eCPkIiJGV0/v-deo.html or ua-cam.com/play/PLU1cLSAI7OzWFEIAWnu6aTbPLFyToP3-B.html
"American Interest = Foreign Policy" can anybody see the conflict interest ? Kinda like "pay to play" conflict of interest. n'est pas' He really needs to stop sucking his teeth, i can barley stand to watch this.

These two brothers should be prosecuted for their crimes against humanity.

Corporations rule in the U.S. too. Most people here however, are blind.
Awesome...........And the TRUTH SHALL SET US FREE....ALL OF US
Those two were traders to their country! That is how they should be remembered in the annals of history.

not one word about the warren commision
Really great speaker. I couldn't stop listening.
Read the book -very well researched ... filled in many details about perhaps the most regrettable period in US history and a reflection of what is right and what is not so right.
Thank you for clearing up this important part of history. I read the book last year and could not put it down once I started. Excellent book.
Great writer and great speaker. I hope the book and presentation are also reaching some younger audience.
Now he sits at the side of satan

fantastic lecture Mr. Kinzer

Very interesting lecture.
Great book - pretty scary & explains alot
witty, frank speaker - comfortable with the jibes he's making - but not flippant

great piece, thanks...but the "sucking on a jolly rancher" sound throughout the speech is very annoying
Fantastic speech.

I dont know if it matters but please vote 3rd party anything has to be better. than what we got
I hear ward noises in the bath room
Why was Eisenhower a supporter of covert action? Let me propose as a theory, another aspect of its appeal to him: INTP's *HATE* beaurocracy.
Why Scranton?
he doesnt cover their roles in the vatican raelines..conspicuous absence defines the amateurim of his scholarship
I go to of dulls I'm in 3rd grade
