Breaking The Neocon Stranglehold On Washington (http://ronpaulinstitute.org/archives/featured-articles/2016/february/02/breaking-the-neocon-stranglehold-on-washington/)
Written by Daniel McAdams - Tuesday February 2, 2016

No matter who occupies the US presidency, it seems the neoconservatives always occupy positions of foreign policy power. A neocon like Robert Kagan, for example, is perfectly comfortable going from a senior position in the GW Bush administration to another senior post in Barack Obama's State Department. When their failed policies wear out the name of one of their institutes, like Project for a New American Century, they simply change the name without losing a beat, in this case turning into the "Foreign Policy Initiative." Filmmaker Robbie Martin has done a terrific job looking into the neocon domination of Washington in his three-part documentary film, A Very Heavy Agenda. Martin joins today's Liberty Report to talk about his films and to talk about the neocons who star in them:

True. But, if we could ever get a non-interventionist president, this president could say "NO" to our endless interventions overseas and make large, important changes to top cabinet and agency positions.

Looks like a great film!

Very interesting; I'm going to try to watch part 1 this week while it is free. I just don't know how we break their stranglehold on the nation...they control the media. They are why we cannot elect a noninterventionist to POTUS. Look how Rand is has been treated by the media/neocons...he is hated and portrayed as extreme, crazy, or unimportant. Anyway, this is very educational. Thanks.

That's strange. I see a "Play Movie (Free)" button above the $5 button.

Interesting movie. It's a little different, basically video clips all put together. A lot of editing work must have gone into it.
