Ok thanks for the Alan Watt source I will check it out.

I think we have uni-party and the neoliberal opposition to the Cold War was a big part of really solidifying that within America's borders. I do think it's hard to say Nixon was a huge part of it though, considering how many people in the establishment hated his fucking guts and vice versa. I'd accept he was a pawn, sure, but even that seems a little questionable and you'd wonder why he was removed then. It's not like they did better under Ford or Carter.

As for Kissinger, he's always seemed like an any-port-in-the-storm diplomat but that doesn't make him evil or a bad actor I think a lot of guys over the years fit this billing. I guess in the sense that globalists beget more globalism, but the OP in this thread is HK praising Trump so I don't get how you square that (unless DJT also involved).

Before WW2 I think we had two distinct parties but since the end of the war it is certainly much harder to tell. A lot of that is the NATO scam though. However, that doesn't mean literally everyone who has power is knowingly part of the cabal. In reality I think it's more like how organized crime works in that you have several different bodies and alliances, rivalries, etc. are formed/dissolved/accelerated over time.

Naturally I'm a fed skeptic as well and certainly Nixon and Kissinger have their fair share of totally valid detractors on a number of issues. I just tend to think most of Nixon's moves were done for the sake of improving the lot of this country, whether or not they all worked out in the end. I'd tend to put JFK in that category as well but he's obviously way more corrupt. Not saying Nixon was clean either.
