an excerpt from It's About America

They are powerful people — well organized.
After the war, in 1952, (the Steagall Amendment) was allowed to expire after ten years of economic stability.
In 1953, the Farm Act of 1953 took its place with sliding parity, 60 to 90 percent. The bad guys won. You and I know which of those figures it's going to slide toward.
That was their first important step. What these folks had decided was they had to have ownership of the land. That would eliminate government interference and they knew something about making money during shortages.
The shortages in the 80's and 90's will be mainly in food. Ownership of the land is where the power lies – political and dollar power. Land is collateral. Ownership controls wages, surpluses. Ask the South American farmers. This has been true for centuries.
So their goal, very clearly, was to get hold of the land and they decided to do this by moving 2 million farmers off the land into the cities and replace them with a small number of super farms, corporate-owned, a few large family managed operations, and several million small farms, financed primarily by off-farm income.
These plans were spelled out in literally dozens of reports, policy recommendations and studies that are available in almost any land-grant college library or the Library of Congress.
Great shows not to be missed. thanks for posting... Fester! :up:
CSR, the thanks are due your direction. It was your mention/link to a Yeager show that led me to Johnson. Just getting into part three and the discussion of the Constitution and the anti-Federalist movement is excellent.
I'm about to order a physical copy of Bates's book.
Fr. Johnson is a Godsend, no? (I particularly enjoyed the final segment in which he came out and straight up said what "the constitution" was all about...)
