My recent post explaining how "the best and the brightest" are anything but has found an apotheosis, namely the courageous speech by Robert Wenzel to the New York Federal Reserve (the heart of darkness). Wenzel speaks the truth about the terrible chaos and harm the Federal Reserve has inflicted on America since its founding 99 years ago, encouraging his audience to do the right thing and simply leave the building forever. The audience has no idea what he's talking about and displays abject ignorance of economics, for the audience consists of middlebrows whose only interest in the mind is using it serve power rather than truth.
Wenzel is an intellectual and represents the real best and brightest; his audience is a den of thieves far less intelligent than he, but also more intelligent than the unwashed masses, so the thievery will continue unabated -- at least until the collapse, at which point men such as Wenzel will do the hard work of re-building. True men of the mind build civilizations but cannot stop them from collapsing.
