Corporations bribed politicians—it’s legal, it’s called campaign contributions—and they funded projects the Defense Department contracted out, giving the crooks a lot of money; that’s still going strong today – says Lester Earnest, founder of the AI Lab at Stanford

IBM made out like bandits during this time..they had the military in their pockets as well as NASA.
Is this part of the missing $21 billion?
It's tricky how he describes the whole moon landing thing. Was it real or political theatre? Were the astronauts really actors?
Ty for p.2!
Pls..remainder
Question? Was the dot on the screen the beginning of video games?
Why the hell do you post all you videos in pieces and out of order and days or weeks apart and some are never uploaded? Incredibly frustrating.
Great series, incredible look at the military industrial complex.
Thanks, Paul, for respecting your audience by letting the man tell to us his story in his own time, not rushing him and such as is the norm elsewhere.
I'm thinking that Elon Musk is the same con.
Finaly! Whats been talked about for years is now out in the open! ALL HANGING OUT! This is why among other things, Pentagon can't account for missing huge amounts of money. The sicksadtruth.
Moon landing was fake
Lester Earnest OG : "astronauts are nottin' but actors" … dude is pickin' a fight right there…altough howard Wolowitz would agree
Taxpayer theft under guise of nukes..now terrorism..oh thats done now the wall and immigration high treason..thanks for coming out i hope you are safe from abuse for being upfront.
As admirable as this gentleman is, I do have to disagree with a number of the opinions he's putting forward. In the case of the computer system that he so substantially improved, the problem wasn't that computers were less efficient, it was that politicians were throwing gobs of money at corporations to computerize things without a care about HOW it was done. It was like when Hollywood throws CGI into everything, without a care for how it will actually look (and the result is often more obviously fake AND more expensive AND less impressive than more traditional special effects). Once they were used more sensibly (under Mr Earnest's directions) the computerization became superior to the original methods.
In the case of NASA and the Moon Landings… of course they were theater. We were in a Cold War, and everything we did to keep things from becoming a Hot War was better than the alternative. Not only did the space race provide a much more economical and humane competition than some of the… other things done (Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan… the endless posturing through the use of proxy regimes…), but it did provide a wealth of useful knowledge. Putting two men on the moon (with a third in the capsule) and bringing them back safely was indeed expensive. It also provided us with invaluable information to use in keeping people alive during deep sea exploration, space exploration… it allowed us to get people up there longer, to do things that ARE actual science.

and the Jewish Bankers make all the money … as always !!!
Military industrial congressional fruads
Although it was a fraud, it created so many advancements in technology. We didn't have to send men to the moon, but the technology to get them there alive was created. So even though the government deceives us, at least we got SOMETHING out of it.
The American Government is nothing more than a crime syndicate that creates situations such as wars and other such senseless projects that costs the American tax payer called the dupe trillions of dollars that are then transferred through different vehicles to such as the owners of the factories that make the war toys the money while greasing all the middle men, such as the media, military advisers, project managers and of course the slew of corrupt politicians that helped approve the spending and last but not least the FED.
We are so stupid and so brain washed that we continue to call the military, our heroes, when in fact they are the mercenary fodder needed to complete the con job.
General Butler was right when he said that war was a racket, and Americans are really too stupid to figure that out.
In 2001, Donald Rumsfeld said 'According to some estimates, we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions.' Some economists have looked into this and corrected the amount to $21 trillion. Gives you an inkling of just how much fraud and corruption there is actually going on and why Americans can't have a decent social security system and a well maintained infrastructure.
It has become quite clear after just two of these interviews, that the whole concept of the MIC was in very large part just an example of the hubris of smoke and mirrors beguiling our thinking, and that the Deus Ex Machina effect of technology infused with greater society will also lend us to be tricked and to be easily misled on what is in fact really going.
@PaulJ Sorry Paul, I gotta call bs on at least part of what this guy said. About 7:20 to 7:30 he states (paraphrasing) "I figured out how to have the message coming over the phone line go straight into the computer where it was stored as keywords…". I'm sorry but there never has been any technology that took an analog phone signal and digitized it into words that could be parsed for keywords, if there had been then the need for data entry clerks, probably the largest segment of the govt workforce, never would have happened. If what he meant was "transcribed and typed into the computer" then perhaps, but he's talking poppycock if he thinks he invented voip to data before digital communications even existed. He states the timeframe for his breakthrough was about 1963… nope.
War has always been a racket.
I love your work TRN, you ARE absolutely the BEST! I wish I was rich, so that I could help you guys just go on. I believe, with a few million dollors in beginning and cooperating with various progressive people all over the world, you can lead stablishing the Progressive International Thinking & Analysis Center (TRN International)!
We've never been to the moon.
