"Those who have power are bad"

Which isn't far wrong. Maybe not for the reason Zinn says.

PragerU tends to be very pro-corporate. The trouble is that the mega-corporations and governments are in league with one another across the world now. They fund and support the World Economic Forum together. The corporations want low wages, and low taxes, but the government wants to raise taxes, so that burden is shifted off mega-corporations.

I think it's hard to argue against their point about the book.

This is another example of how Lucifer and their followers play the long game while we react when it is already too late. The school board protests you are seeing now should have been happening 40 years ago over books like this

there was opposition to these social ruination agendas, well known & loved people like Anita Bryant whom was thrashed and then censored for standing up against the gay movement & proclaiming truth…..

but on the other hand, there where well known intellects like a young Alan Dershowitz appearing on every network & news outlet promoting pornography as a 1st Amendment right…….Zinn & Dershowitz were/are of the Synagogue of Satan among other similarities

The female narrator sounds like the Exec. Sec. to a Mormon GA, or Military Industrial Complex czar.
America, "an essentially decent country?!" When did this happen?!
It would be easy to fill ten A4 pages with one line dot points of the outrageous, and egregious financial, physical, and emotional cruelty that the military industrial complex, Big Pharma, and the corporate sphere in general, in the US, have wreaked upon various nations of the world. Then there was the United Fruit Co. (plus a couple of others) who practically invented neo colonialism. Exploiting, and enslaving whole countries from the president of the various "banana republics" down to the last worker.

Essentially decent...uh huh.
An essentially decent entity does not keep slaves. An essentially decent entity does not have institutionalised racism, and outfits like the KKK promoting death to blacks just because 'we don't like them'. This racism is now being carried on by the various police forces.
An essentially decent nation doesn't develop weapons of mass destruction and then use them on unarmed non-combatants viz. Nagasaki, & Hiroshima. Plus, the the tens of thousands of cluster bombs dropped during Henry Kissinger's 'secret war', along the Ho Chi Min trail in Cambodia, are still being detonated today by little kids, losing their arms and legs in the process.

This sniveling, cringing, fawning argument is against decency, virtue, and logic. The common man is now on the ground, on his back, with a 'figurative' foot on his throat. Just getting a job, and keeping it now, is a major life challenge. Yet these academics, sprouting their vanity and conceit, get paid enormous salaries to promote whatever theme they prefer.
It's been my experience, that 95% of them wouldn't know $#!% from clay.

The truth is still the truth even if no one believes it. A lie is still a lie, even if everyone believes it. Unknown.
