This is absolute documentary perfection! Who knew corn had such a wild, manipulative hold over modern civilization?

It’s mind-blowing how we think we domesticated corn, but biologically speaking, corn domesticated us to destroy forests and spread its genes across the entire planet.

Henry A. Wallace was almost the first Progressive President. He was FDR's VP during his third term and led in the first ballot for vice president in the 1944 Democrat convention, but he was nudged out by the conservatives in favor for Harry Truman. He heavy supported to have good relations with the USSR, but he was duped by them when he visited the USSR in 1944. The USSR presented its American guests with a fully sanitized version of gulag labor camps in Magadan and Kolyma, claiming that all the workers were volunteers. Wallace was impressed by the camp at Magadan, describing it as a "combination Tennessee Valley Authority and Hudson's Bay Company". He was appointed Secretary of Commence by FDR and retained that post with Truman at first but broke with the Truman administration policies in September 1946 when he delivered a speech in which he stated that "we should recognize that we have no more business in the political affairs of Eastern Europe than Russia has in the political affairs of Latin America, Western Europe and the United States". Wallace's speech was booed by the pro-Soviet crowd he delivered it to and even more strongly criticized by Truman administration officials. Truman stated that Wallace's speech did not represent administration policy but merely Wallace's personal views, and on September 20, 1946, he demanded and received Wallace's resignation.
