This was rather “elementary”, eh? Why were “the best and the brightest” in many cases, seemingly, with the exception of Lapham himself, only marginally more coherent than bush, jr.? James Baker, a (former) pre-eminent figure of “world power” sounded drugged and/or lobotomized. And, of course, no one mentioned that the ultimate figures of “the ruling class” are owned by their higher ups, the NWO types. For me the brightest moment was seeing the rather clearly way out of shape, but extremely VIP, Larry Summers, waxing poetic, monosyllabically at best. I realize that perhaps they were merely following “the script”, but still… Apparently we have near cretins running this planet........into the ground. Very sad, indeed.
