New Video: "Manipulating the YouTube Algorithm." I have reason to believe there are coordinated attacks against and attempts to manipulate our most used Social Media Algorithms. This is the first of a 3 part series explaining how it happens on @YouTube. youtube.com/watch?v=1PGm8Lsl…

Brexit aka The Road To Serfdom chapter 5: "The effect of the people's agreeing that there must be central planning, without agreeing on the ends, will be rather as if a group of people were to commit themselves to take a journey together without agreeing where they want to go..."
