    This is speech 6 of 6. This information is hidden halfway through the description, but putting it in the title would be better.

    If anyone holds the dark thought that American presidents often appear to be the frontispiece of something darker, they are invited to read the 1992 masterpiece written by Kai Bird:
    "The Chairman: John J. McCloy & The Making of the American Establishment"
    McCloy was everywhere (trust me or read it) and a friend of Jean Monnet (a 'father of the European Union' 🇪🇺 ).
    Hint: "everywhere" includes High Commissioner for Germany (post WW II), architect of CIA formation, CEO City Bank, President of both Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, and 😮😮 on the Warren Commission (Kennedy assassination). That's a small slice of a big cheese, unknown to 90+ percent of Americans.

    In the old hour-long format of Oxford Union videos, we enjoyed learning how the Proposition was voted 🗳
    Now, O.U. only gives each "point" 😢

    Ike Jeanes wrote "Forecast & Solution: Grappling With The Nuclear". It is not a well-organized work, nor well written. But hey, he's a mathematical genius who wrote 600 pages to flesh out a simple theorem: the more State Actors in possession of nuclear arms ~ "the shorter the half-life until a deliberate, or negligent detonation occurs".
    Two States could nearly "deter" forever (notwithstanding "Dr Strangelove " or "Fail-Safe" but more states = less safety.
