My dad and many men of his era and place (we lived in west texas) always sort of lived their lives in a john wayne sort of fashion.... in the movie Hondo, Wayne, upon hearing that a young boy could not swim across the creek in front of him, grabbed him by his underwear and threw him in the creek--sink or swim. My dad did the same to me at about age 6.
Anyway, I think it was John Ford who made Wayne a real star.
The love of a strong family is what helps schizophrenics. That is not something america has to offer much anymore....america is about money, not people, and prescribing drugs when there is an insurance plan is what happens in america...and when there is no insurance, there is the freeway overpass and then prison.
The voter bases of the liberal and conservative political tribes of the USA are infected with propaganda memes created by large corporations/the media in order to further the financial interests of the large corporations. But if you say that, a lot of people will call you a conspiracy theorists.
But it is no more a conspiracy than the wasps using biological viruses to exploit caterpillars. Just nature in action. And man and his society are also part of nature.
At least that is the case according to this blog:
read the essay called 'I was Hitler's Boss'...it's online...published anonymously in the 1930s, this essay makes clear that the general idea of the nazis and the third reich was already in place before hitler was even hired by the reichswehr...the most well-known hitler biographer Kershaw identified the author of the essay as Karl Mayr, who was indeed hitler's boss..
read the essay...this is what it says:
the german upper class & corporations were afraid that the same thing that was happening in russia during the bolshevik revolution was going to happen in germany...and indeed there were dozens of burgeoning worker's populist parties springing up...and what did those parties want? To disempower the rich and powerful...so the rich and powerful began using the german army to spy on and subvert these populist uprisings...they hired hitler because he was a war hero (although recent books make it clear that hitler did not deserve his iron cross and was known as a brown noser among the troops during WW1).
They hired hitler and put him to work spying on these working class parties that were the enemies of the rich and powerful.
As mayr writes, when hitler was hired, he was basically a pauper, and was just a lost dog looking for a master...didn't care squat about jews or anything like that...but the reichswehr and the upper class were planning to make the jews a substitute scapegoat for the rich, as mayr explains...the jews were a big part of the educated class, and those were a big part of the bolshevik revolution....so the planners of the third reich has already set their cap for the jews when hitler was first hired....
hitler was indeed born with an undescended testicle, which made him an outcast, mayr explains....so when he was a boy he wandered the hills making speeches...that talent came to the fore during his spying on the populist parties...and so the reichswehr and their corporate backers had found their talented orator to lead a fake-populist version of the true-populist workers parties that the upper class/corporations feared.
Now you know why hitler was actually quite popular with the media...the media is and always has been supported by advertising purchases by corporations...
The rates were lowered after the crashes of 2001-2002 and 2008-2009. But the rates cannot be lowered any more. Why? They are at zero, effectively.
That is different.
Right?
