"Worse than Hiroshima." Why did the U.S. firebomb Tokyo?
"The American firebombing of Tokyo was deadlier than the atomic bombs, not to mention the many other cities burned to the ground. Why did the U.S. do that? The answers go far beyond 'revenge' into some horrific options during total war." -- Ken ► Script Sources and Notes: https://shorturl.at/5CdUb FOLLOW KEN: 🐘 ► Ken’s Free Newsletter: https://kenlacorte.substack.com ► X: https://x.com/KenLaCorte ► Business Inquiries: business@ElephantsInRooms.com

What happened to the news?

Why the Founding Fathers chose slavery
"Why did the Founding Fathers accept slavery in the new country? Basic politics, or something more?" --Ken ► SCRIPT CORRECTION/FEEDBACK: Also, regarding Thomas Jefferson fathering children with Sally Hemming, some here are giving me pushback on that, claiming it's not settled. There's still a bit of dissension on that, so yes, I should've added a "likely" qualifier. There's a decent amount of evidence, between DNA showing "a" Jefferson was the dad of one. Combined with other facts, tha...

The Helen Keller story doesn't add up
"I've wondered this my whole life. I finally got serious and dug into the facts as best I could." --Ken ► Script Sources and Notes: https://shorturl.at/kenmW CORRECTION: The image at 1:56 when I say "Edison" is actually Keller with British politician Wilfred Paling.

How much influence does Israel actually have?
"The U.S. gives Israel a WHOLE LOT of money and support. Why?" –Ken ► Script Sources and Notes: https://shorturl.at/0XFnV CORRECTION: At 7:11 I say that the U.S. has a base in Egypt. That's not really true. The U.S. has a small military presence there -- about 250 soldiers for various purposes -- but it's not a base in the conventional sense. ADDITION: I should've gotten into this a bit more, but a large majority -- about 75% -- of the military assistance that the U.S. g...
