In the early 1900's John D Rockefeller saw an opportunity to make money pushing a different approach to medicine Colleges taught doctors to treat patients up until then. His new system was the beginning of teaching surgery and drugs. Again, a cabal family in the middle of our current nightmare.

I'm working on making a more accurate transcript for lecture that's better than Youtube's alphabet soup. It makes it much easier to share and send around when it's all neatly typed up and organized

So far only on 6 minutes
TRANSCRIPT
00:00
This is supposed to make everything much more democratic but it really doesn’t
00:03
it means that any schmo can vote in the
00:06
Democrat or Republican ticket all they have
00:07
to do is sign up as a Democrat or Republican
00:08
afterward you would act as an actual
00:10
activist member so this means anybody
00:12
can get the nomination and means of
00:14
nomination is decided by public
00:17
relations by TV ads by money or whatever
00:19
it is you don’t have to meet the role of
00:21
a party as such the parties as a
00:23
mechanism for gathering collecting ideas
00:27
and principles gets eliminated.
00:28
It means the party the political party is now
00:30
just a shell. Democrats are Republican
00:32
party don’t mean anything as well
00:34
because of the cultural primary system
00:36
it’s all up for grabs and this is now
00:38
admitted by most political scientists.
00:39
This is a troubling thing, they think it all
00:41
came in the 1960s it really started
00:44
coming in in 1900 with a progressive
00:45
whole primary concept and this was
00:49
deliberately done to destroy the role of
00:52
a political party as an ideological both
00:55
gathering movement, in other words
00:56
as a group which means something.
00:57
The idea is to make the party’s meaning
00:59
less and leave a power vacuum for
01:02
technocrats and progressive so-called
01:05
non partisan scientists. This is all
01:10
accomplished and goes on very cleverly
01:12
and one of the things they try to do
01:13
most is eliminate great war on the
01:15
city. By this time the city is almost all
01:19
ethnic. In other words, the city is a mostly
01:21
liturgical mostly Irish and Italian and
01:24
Polish etcetera and the rural area of a
01:26
mostly lost and getting them out of the
01:28
point was more and more true and so the big
01:31
cities become a focus of attack by WASP Pietists
01:36
as being central per se as the nest of evil
01:39
and sin. The whole rural vs urban
01:42
thing really comes in about this time as
01:43
an attack on urban ethnic and one of the
01:48
things that’s come most important now
01:49
again for for wasp pietists is to smash the saloons.
01:52
Have prohibition to eliminate
01:55
the saloon as a political and a
01:57
political power of ethnic
02:00
politics. For most of the ethnic (most of the Italian,
02:05
Irish, etc Catholic people),
02:10
the neighborhood saloon was
02:12
the focus of politics and most of the
02:15
socializing is done in the
02:17
saloon and the saloon keeper becomes a
02:20
major ward (?here) of the
02:22
political power. You ask the [saloon keeper] who to vote for
02:24
and so if you outlaw [the saloon] you can
02:25
out you can smash
02:29
[?liturgical] politics. So prohibition gets
02:33
restored now as a as a big
02:36
objective. Another thing to do is to try
02:38
to eliminate city voting altogether,
02:41
eliminate the mayor and put in the
02:44
"non-political" city
02:46
manager, resolving so-called city manager
02:50
movement, City Commission movement. Very
02:52
powerful took over most of the small
02:54
city united states, it didn’t went out in
02:56
New York, Philadelphia, or Boston and most
02:58
of the smaller cities Dayton, Ohio and
03:00
mostly both Galveston, Texas. Now we have
03:02
city managers and the city manager gets the
03:04
high salary, the mayor gets almost
03:05
almost no salary making twenty bucks a year or
03:08
something. The mayor now holds very
03:09
little power. City managers are in there
03:11
full-time, gets their own bureaucracy in
03:12
there, and runs everything
03:14
mostly to his own liking. Again, this is
03:18
the political power by the bureaucrat,
03:20
by the technocrat bureaucrat taking over
03:22
from the voters. Voters have almost most
03:25
no say in this anymore, [their voices] have been eliminated,
03:27
very indirect.
03:29
Another thing that happens is the
03:31
nationalization of the public school
03:32
system. The public schools until about
03:34
1900 were first of all
03:36
not compulsory outside New England and the
03:38
yankee areas. In the south no compulsory
03:41
attendance laws. Second of all, the
03:45
public school remember the idea of a
03:47
public school is a Protestant [ivian?] device
03:48
This becomes then comes an even much
03:50
more now under progressives. If you can’t get
03:53
the cap like adults you can’t think
03:54
about the hopelessness heaped in sin, then
03:56
forget the kids. Christian eyes or Catholics
03:59
as they're called. You get to force the kids to
04:01
know the public school system then
04:02
Protestantize them to the public schools.
04:03
So the big drive for public school,
04:08
expansion of public school system in New
04:10
York, the south, and everyplace else
04:13
post [era?] public schools [?tend] and
04:15
is an informal requirement at
04:18
most jurisdictions in order to be a
04:21
public school teaching you had to be a
04:22
Protestant church member who’s not
04:24
official honest
04:25
but this was important. In San Francisco
04:28
we had a constant fight with 50 years
04:30
between the Catholics and the Protestants
04:32
to control the public school
04:35
system.
04:36
[?] the city in general public school in
04:38
particular. Behind
04:42
the public school drive are the WASP
04:44
upper class and WASP upper class
04:46
business people and WASPs many places
04:49
coincidental. So another thing about the
04:54
public school with you is you when you
04:56
force Catholics into it,
04:57
Christianize them quote-unquote,
04:59
business people began to use the
05:01
public schools as a device to socialize
05:03
their cause. This is an important tool in
05:06
subsidies we have to realize. One way in
05:08
which the government subsidizes
05:10
businesses is by socializing the cost of
05:12
business, in other words taking over some
05:13
of the cost and loading it onto the taxpayer.
05:15
For example, in a time of slavery in the
05:18
South slavery would not have been
05:19
efficient would not have been economic.
05:20
One of the problems with
05:23
slavery is that slaves tend to run away you
05:25
have a problem with slaves running anyway, you don’t
05:26
have a capital equipment. Machines
05:29
don’t decide to run away, slaves do. So in
05:32
order to minimize
05:33
the cost of enforcement, the slave
05:35
masters
05:35
willed it onto the shoulders of the
05:37
average white taxpayer in the south by
05:40
having so-called slave patrols. Slave patrol [?rats].
05:44
Every southerner was
05:48
required to join the slave patrol for over two
05:52
weeks out of a year or something. Slave patrols
05:53
would patrol the highway, the
05:55
roads at night and catch slaves who’ve run
05:57
away. Patrols had like five people in
05:59
the patrol, every black person had to
06:01
have a [kind of identity card] something
06:03
like South Africa.
06:04
In other words they had to have an ID card in this case
06:06
from your master telling you where to go
06:08
allowing your going.
Thanks. I could figure it out but it's a bit fractured.
Yeah my plan was to edit the whole transcript to be closer to what he actually says then make it all into paragraph form.
