Would you mind sourcing a link or giving me some good search keywords? Our tech overlords are making searching for this not a lot of fun.
I think they are referring to the Powell Memo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_F._Powell_Jr.#Powell_Memorandum_(1971)
This video connects some more of the dots: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgYkde3o2Xw
Since 2021 I can't find all sorts of articles I had previously. Even with the publication, date of publication, name of title, and author name, in articles I effortlessly found prior to 2021. I feel like I am the only one angry about all of this sometimes.
I learned a lot from the guys on collapse on the big social media group reddick there. I can try to find a link but idk about the details I had writing on it saved on my old laptop that froze up on me.
I can't find anything either, except a facebook post that might mention it but I am not on facebook as such and it's not a good source. That is the only hit on the search that even pretended to find what I was looking for, the rest are purposefully not what I searched for.
I know it can work better, because it did work better. Anyway I will reply again if I find something, but if on reddick try the collapse sub and sound them out on it on an economic type post and they will give you more links that you could read.
Thanks for the pointers.
Yeah, I am infinitely frustrated by the enshitification of search on all platforms. There are some awesome videos that I can no longer find on Youtube, scientific publications that are super difficult to find now. Oddly, the CIA government site's search still works great for declassified documents.
The only political thing in that regard I remember is the Citizens' Commission to Investigate the FBI. The business roundtable was created 1972 so maybe they are referring to a previous organization? However the Business roundtable has a wikipedia entry that's already grim
