Humans have been conning and tricking other humans for eons. Most cons are on a relatively small scale, perpetrated by devilishly clever people. We hear about these “little” con jobs regularly on the nightly news. Elderly people are told to put money into a Bitcoin ATM because a bank employee said they would lose their money if they didn’t. However, when these cons reach a regional, national, or global level, large-scale disaster and collapse are imminent.
A few “fire-eaters” and slave owners forced the Southern states to spark the Civil War at Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861. President Lincoln knew and experienced how a relatively small number of wealthy men controlled Southern legislatures, newspapers, and public opinion. In this video, Lincoln and his “virtual” friend, Mark Twain, comment on the larger con games being played in 2025.
