5:06 In Vienna, in 1968, there was no student revolt.

The actual student protest came when the Shah was visiting.

27:21 I didn't.

I got disillusioned with Bush over two issues.

1) He was going to abolish inheritance duty, but didn't, because "Responsible Ruch" (an actual club) objected it is not good for people to be born with a silver spoon. Given how rich they were, their children are born with a silver spoon anyway, those hurt by inheritance duty are more like those who would inherit pop and mom stores. The duty can make just the difference so they have to sell it instead and only get money.
2) Before 9/11, the mollahs in Afghanistan had expelled 8 US citizens who were Christians and done sth else to 8 Afghan converts, I didn't know what, I still don't know what. The US didn't lift a finger for those in place. Then 9/11, and war on Afghanistan, I was shocked. Afghans were if anything the hosts to Osama, his involvement was not obvious, refusing to let Afghan police handle the accusation is like Austria's refusal in 1914 to let Serbian police deal with Gavril Princip, and unlike the Serbian case, Osama was already out of Afghanistan.

I was shocked, jotted down a few lines to the US embassador in Denmark and sent it. They ended in:

"Don't be afraid to be a Crusader, don't be afraid to be a monarchist"

The Afghan king was perhaps less obnoxious than the Persian Shah, at least this is what Charles A. Coulombe led me to believe. And at least they could take the occasion to defend Christianity.

No, no Crusade, but instead "Crusade for Democracy" ... after some time, it came out the West installed régime in Kabul was prohibiting Bibles and conversions in Kabul.

So, by the Iraq war, I was already against it.

42:43 Do you think the ICE is deliberately working against him, deliberately not sticking to targetting actual criminals, just to have people demonise Trump?

The immigration thing is a seemingly very different affair in France and in the US.

Charlotte Ornellas mentioned "every three days, some young person is getting killed" ... by usually Muslim community (if not always practising) people either immigrated or of recent immigrant background. I think there are other reasons, like a bad school system being inescapable, but still.

I couldn't find this being the case with Latino immigrants in the US, obviously I only did a quick google, and google would probably filter out sources like Ornellas unless you deliberately looked for them, but still.
