Episode 3 is amazing so far, I had no idea Nixon did quite that much crazy stuff (as a non-American). And there's a lot of parallels to our situation in Europe right now - supply-driven inflation, a lack of our own technology so we end up paying American companies for everything (Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Amazon, etc.) who collude with the American government.

It's a shame the journalists these days are so weak and spineless too - like Assange faces extradition, when back then they were exposing COINTELPRO, Watergate and being targeted for assassination.

It's easier to fall into comformity than to question things. One, the risk of someone killing you is lesser, two, it's not wort it for the pay, three, if you can get bribed not to publish something, even better.
