The YouTube video, titled "BREAKING IT DOWN K.I.K STYLE (KIK)," is a dialogue discussing the concerning direction of the United States, arguing that many societal issues began with a shift in policy and culture:
-
The Reagan Era: The speakers argue that the shift from a manufacturing society to a consumption-based society began during the Reagan presidency, making "rich" the new societal goal.
-
Historical Grievances: They link social problems to the flooding of neighborhoods with guns and drugs by the CIA, which was openly admitted during the Iran-Contra affair. They also discuss the government's role in destroying union labor and the Savings and Loan scandals of the 1980s.
-
Modern Issues: The conversation moves to the rise of derivatives in the 1990s and the distraction of 9/11, which allowed legislation like the Patriot Act to pass.
-
Conclusion: The video concludes that the public is being "conditioned to fear" and is distracted by "nonsense" that keeps them oblivious to the world around them. The information is attributed to the "K.I.K (Knowledge Is King)" website.
The video is 5 minutes and 27 seconds long and was published on December 20, 2011, by the channel K.I.K on YouTube.
