I had just listened to Cynthia Chung Through the Looking Glass: “The Special Relationship “ and how Great Britain reconquered America. (Maybe words are not quite right.) when I listened to Murray on Joe Rogan. I thought Dave had more to say, but Murray was smug and didn’t seem to think he had anything to defend; he was there to put others in their places, represent Great Britain and the truth it represents; he could not accept any negativity about Churchill and thus summarily discounted Daryl Cooper whose work he hasn’t much read. I kept thinking of Cynthia Chung’s presentation and “the Crown” and how the American ideal of self determination, independence and prosperity for all has been thwarted at key moments in history, with assassinations of important people along the way. She and her husband Matthew Ehret both say FDR had a different vision for post WWII than Churchill. Listening to each of them has opened my eyes.

Sometimes it all just makes me want to crawl into bed with the covers up over my head.
