bewilderment can be a fun hangout ...

.
Bewilderment is a curious condition, one in which I choose to spend little time, though it can be fun to hang out there.

One such moment came yesterday when I chose to watch a video online.

Ordinarily I would not watch a video based in a "teleview" network owned by an Australian fascist, but in this case it was the subject which caught my attention.

Ordinarily as well, I would not watch a video hosted by a certain personality employed by the Australian fascist, because he has turned into such a clown, when he does talk about a topic I find serious or interesting, he mucks it up so much he leaves me cold.

What attracted me to this particular video more was G. Edward Griffin, someone I follow whose research I respect, being interviewed by the clown ... and by the way, I generally like clowns, in venues where clowns are at their best, unlike here.

This scene bends into an awkward shape further, however, with the introduction of a representative of the Cato Institute, Mark A. Calabria.

Now I know enough about the Cato Institute to be unsure of it.

The Cato Institute was founded by Edward H. Crane (unknown to me) with help from Murray Rothbard (a name I trust), with funding from Charles de Ganahl Koch.

Charles Koch, along with his brother David Hamilton Koch, own Koch Industries.

William Ingraham Koch, one of Charles' and David's two other brothers, sold his share of Koch Industries after a legal battle in which he charged the company was taking oil from federal and Indian land.

From that it should be easy to see how Charles Koch's actions and attitudes might rub me the wrong way.

So here is this odd trio revealing a factual history of The Federal Reserve System, which has my complete attention, and in which the three of them seem to find no area of disagreement.

Even if this particular video only "scratches the surface" I am left bewildered because it seems to me these three men *cannot* somehow be in such agreement as they are, coming from their different positions.

Other than that peculiarity, I am not sure this video is of any great value ... unless you know absolutely nothing about the creation of the FED perhaps.
