Losing such an adroit and fierce advocate in the Senate would be a true loss, so I am torn. I also hate to say this, but he has a bit of a lisp. Running for President is so much theater, I don't know. I think Al Gore's lisp hurt him, besides the inexplicable and idiot choice of running mate - bizarre almost. Hillary's pant-suits were actually a political issue. So, I dunno. He is probably too liberal to attract center-right voters. I'd love to have me as POTUS, but the political reality I see says "no".
@@JStephs1950 Thank you. I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed his lisp. I think it could be a problem if he runs for Prez. But he could be a good choice for VP if he is paired with a more centrist presidential candidate. He could help bring in the progressive vote.

This is a speech from a true statesman and protector of Democracy. I greatly appreciated Senator Whitehouse's weekly "Time To Wake Up" Senate speeches about climate change. I hope The Scheme gets the media attention and public scrutiny it deserves.
It will not. People do not have the attention span or will to try to even understand the scheme. I have been telling people about the Powell memo for a decade. Besides, what could we even do about it?

I am so grateful for the exhaustive work of this great Senator. If I've ever had doubts as to the GOP's downright anti-american perfidy, Senator Whitehouse's research has cleared them up. Our system is under a serious, sustained attack by well-organized, corporate entities and their lawyers. The GOP in it's current form should be dissolved for sake of our democracy. It has gone rogue.

weird you haven't watched his "WAKE UP" series. since you'll probably claim you have, here is what you've missed (minus the stupid capitalization): czcams.com/video/LErZ21zfBgE/video.html
Since Biden received THREE TIMES the dark money of Trump in 2020, and Democrat's also received more than the GOP, is he saying we shouldn't trust those elected in 2020?
Just discovered this ABSOLUTELY RIVETING series. So happy to have this documented in congressional records as well as on CZcams! Anyone else taking notes?
OMG! And I say this as someone who grew up in Richmond, Virginia; attended college and took part in protests, there, in the 1970s, and went to medical school, there, as well! I am so shocked and ashamed! Not for myself, but for my hometown of Richmond. I had thought the end of the era of big tobacco would give Richmond a fresh start on many levels, but clearly Richmond's Justice Powell left a legacy that grows like a traitorous cancer on American democracy.
This guy knows he was elected to work for the American people not corporations and they hate him as well because he speaks the truth and doesn't sugar coat it.
I wish to add a remarkable fact that I'd neglected in my earlier comment: Lewis Powell was obviously so "proud" of his secret memo that he forgot to mention it to his authorized biographer. Not surprisingly, this secret Report, as Senator Whitehouse had said, was never brought to the attention of the Judiciary Committee and, of course, was kept under wraps when the nomination came to the full senate. Remember the nominee Douglass Ginsburg who withdrew his nomination from consideration to SCOTUS because he had smoked a marijuana cigarette in college? Compare this "horrible crime" to Powell's Truly Horrific Secret Report, if you please.
Powell had been a corporate lawyer for big tobacco companies and he championed corporations as being "people" which is how the Citizens United crap came to be once they had Justices on the Court to fall in line.
starting from the beginning, already watched the ending. July 2024 Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse send a formal request to the DOJ to open an investigation into Justice Thomas and Justice Alito.
How did I just find out about this on MSNBC last night? I will be binge watching today and can’t wait for more until the Supreme Court is no longer making a mockery of the judiciary.
Wow. I started this with the 7th installment by chance and it was so good and insightful that I decided to start at the beginning (as it seems) and watch as much as uploaded here. Sure wish this guy was my Senator!
The Scheme was not brought to my attention until the 20th installment. I am surprised Senator Whitehouse's efforts to expose and curtail The Scheme are not more widely referred to by others, such as MeidasTouch and Brian Tyler Cohen. I think many Americans have lost confidence in the Supreme Court and assume nothing can be done -- Senator Whitehouse offers hope that something can be done. Thank you, Senator Whitehouse.
It's been in effect since 1970s. Powell was against labor unions, workers rights, minimum wage, environmental protections, voting rights, civil rights etc etc anything he deemed as a threat.
I've long said Senators and Representatives ought to be educating constituents, not stirring up and catering to emotional ignorance and whims. I'm so glad to see you are doing just that.

I'm not going to be so polite & restrained as Senator Sheldon Whitehouse. I shall call Lewis Powell's Secret Report a first step toward turning the US into a fascist country in which corporate interests are supreme, and the power of the State aids corporate ambitions, plans and ideology. A quote from Wikipedia's article titled "Economics of Fascism',' states in relevant part: [fascists] "claimed to provide a realistic economic alternative that was neither laissez-faire capitalism nor communism.[23] They favored corporatism and class collaboration, believing that the existence of inequality and social hierarchy was beneficial (contrary to the views of socialists),[24][25] while also arguing that the state had a role in mediating relations between classes (contrary to the views of liberal capitalists).[26] An important aspect of fascist economies was economic dirigism,[27] meaning an economy where the government often subsidizes favorable companies and exerts strong directive influence over investment, as opposed to having a merely regulatory role. In general, fascist economies were based on private property and private initiative, but these were contingent upon service to the state.[28] Fascist governments encouraged the pursuit of private profit and offered many benefits to large businesses, but they demanded in return that all economic activity should serve the national interest."[13] Sources are in square brackets. Can anyone fail to see the forecasting of a Trumpian utopia here?
I'm an ex-Republican. I am outraged at how I was duped for decades. But how are you going to know at the time, when you're being lied to so much and the reporting you think is factual is twisted propaganda funded by wealthy Republican billionaires? Corporations and the fat cats who own and run them are out for their own self-interests, period. America is being run by profiteers and racketeers.
Sheldon Whitehouse -- the President we NEED... 2024. Run with Tim Ryan or Katie Porter. This is the right medicine for a nation that on average can't stomach anything more exotic than Walter Cronkite himself. Please consider!
I remember Nixon while he was President and my father watched the News often. I saw his speeches, his Press Conferences and the evening News about him. Nixon was a dirtbag. Nominating Powell to the Supreme Court while fully aware of his intentions fits Nixon completely. There has been an effort to clean up Nixon's legacy that began before he Resigned as President but don't believe it. Nixon became the politician that his handler Prescott Bush (father of George, Grandfather of Dubya) knew he would become. Nixon is credited with "founding the EPA" but he merely signed it into Law because Democrats had the Votes necessary to override his Veto.
They certainly do play the long game well. Good play by Nixon and whosever dark money truly fueled him. These seeds were planted long ago by an adversary and apparently came up as roses under trumplestilskin. Keep up the good work Senator.
Senator perhalps a Netflix documentary would give this extremely important information a spotlight. Where millions will look, listen and share. We need to get creative in ways to present information to the masses to save our democracy. I'm grateful for your invaluable work!
I had to get to College to hear these truths in real time. And even now its' being buried again, as it was in the 70s all the way up to 2024. The dominant force in our politics and nobody seems to know much except that against all odds, evil is actually winning and the people we empowered to hi=old democracy up and the very same ones tearing it down. Please spread the word. Make it viral. Senators Whitehouse's series should be mandatory for every student in High school.
This entire playlist warrants renewed attention. I wonder if fresh comments help the algorithm The more people come to understand the entire Scheme saga, the better. Thank you, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse of The Great State of Rhode Island--for being a truly brave American Patriot!
"Under attack" is a perfect rallying cry. "Ending "compromise and appeasement" is now the uniform standard of the Republican Party & "activist "Justices" on the US Supreme Court. This is a crusade.

Thank you, Senator for your dedication to making this scheme public!!

Dear Honorable Senator Whitehouse, Quite pleased, delighted even, by Your clarity of mind, speaking into democracy manifesting. One unsolicited coaching offered; please keep Your hands up, out, expressive, while speaking-not stuffed in pants pockets! A large part of content conveyed is via body language, as You likely well know. Please forgive this abrupt critique. I am awed by Your work. God Speed The Plough! With All Affection, Humor, & Respect, Douglas H "Edwin" Spurgin
It might be worth noting that Lewis Powell was asked by Nixon in 1969 to join the Supreme Court, though he declined at that time. He was persuaded two years later to reconsider joining the Court by Nixon's Attorney General John Mitchell. I'm disappointed that I was unaware of these videos until just today. Kudos to Senator Whitehouse.

But how are you going to know at the time, when you're being lied to so much and the reporting you think is factual is twisted propaganda funded by wealthy Republican billionaires? Corporations and the fat cats who own and run them are out for their own self-interests, period. America is being run by profiteers and racketeers.
Sheldon Whitehouse -- the President we NEED... 2024. Run with Tim Ryan or Katie Porter. This is the right medicine for a nation that on average can't stomach anything more exotic than Walter Cronkite himself. Please consider!
I remember Nixon while he was President and my father watched the News often. I saw his speeches, his Press Conferences and the evening News about him. Nixon was a dirtbag. Nominating Powell to the Supreme Court while fully aware of his intentions fits Nixon completely.
There has been an effort to clean up Nixon's legacy that began before he Resigned as President but don't believe it. Nixon became the politician that his handler Prescott Bush (father of George, Grandfather of Dubya) knew he would become. Nixon is credited with "founding the EPA" but he merely signed it into Law because Democrats had the Votes necessary to override his Veto.
I hope that the senator plans to publish the entirety of The Scheme.
This is how a LAWMAKER is supposed to sound.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Right on
They certainly do play the long game well. Good play by Nixon and whosever dark money truly fueled him. These seeds were planted long ago by an adversary and apparently came up as roses under trumplestilskin.
Keep up the good work Senator.
And this is the truth… sad. Been like that for years… they got caught. Good!
Senator perhalps a Netflix documentary would give this extremely important information a spotlight. Where millions will look, listen and share. We need to get creative in ways to present information to the masses to save our democracy. I'm grateful for your invaluable work!
I had to get to College to hear these truths in real time. And even now its' being buried again, as it was in the 70s all the way up to 2024. The dominant force in our politics and nobody seems to know much except that against all odds, evil is actually winning and the people we empowered to hi=old democracy up and the very same ones tearing it down. Please spread the word. Make it viral. Senators Whitehouse's series should be mandatory for every student in High school.
This entire playlist warrants renewed attention. I wonder if fresh comments help the algorithm
The more people come to understand the entire Scheme saga, the better.
Thank you, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse of The Great State of Rhode Island--for being a truly brave American Patriot!
Thank you for posting this playlist. This is extremely interesting and well laid out.
"EVERYTHING Done in The Dark ...SHALL Come to Light .. it's in The Bible. 🙏🦋
Not this time. They ate using Bible thumpers to spread the lie.
"Under attack" is a perfect rallying cry. "Ending "compromise and appeasement" is now the uniform standard of the Republican Party & "activist "Justices" on the US Supreme Court. This is a crusade.
idelieve in Power of The People NOT Political Powe
We The People 🇺🇸
We see the camera showing him speak . How many other peeps that should be there , are there ? Different camera angle would give truer prospective .
yes, because how many people that are there has so much bearing on what is being said......ok boomer.
100% support you!!
Thank you for your work! From Indiana
This is the man that should be our president
Senator Whitehouse is a Master Teacher.
Little RI..Thank you
💗💗💗💗💗
Watching and paying attention now. Thank u
How it took so long for others in the Congress or the Senate to recognize this is absurd! It’s right in front of your face
They know. Look how many of them in Congress and the Senate are fully on board. They are literally making it happen.
You're getting ahead of yourself.....call hearings 1st then do this address.
We are HERE, today... Because Democracy does not thrive in Secrecy... Only Evil does...Welcome to GOP America...
I began watching some of Senator Whitehouse's Scheme speeches last year... I decided I want to watch them all in order... What a shocking amount of info in this first speech! Then to know the author of this horrendous plan against democracy, education, & the environment was placed on our SCOTUS... Infuriating to say the least. Thank you, Senator for your dedication to making this scheme public!!
This only has 41K views by late Feb. 2023. It deserves >250 million.
Thank you.
An outstanding example of how and why honour is not honesty, decency or respect and individuals are required to protect the people against other individuals of evil intent.
Jonathan Swift said we have no protection of honesty from evil, but it is simply a matter of knowing what the consequences of deliberate actions can be.., as provided by Senator Whitehouse.
WoW....still picking up my jaw off the floor....There is no bottom, Skidmore, MO,

Quintessence STATESMAN Whitehouse !
Yes;
quintessential statesman indeed
Funny how when you search for these it doesnt come right up..
Thank you Senator Whitehouse 🕵
Wow! Democracy = Corporate Interest.
Glad he made this.
"The Scheme" book has been published. You could suggest your library order a copy and/or get a copy via interlibrary loan.
This series should be required for high school civics classes. It shows how our democracy is being systematically undermined and destroyed.
PUT THESE INTO A PLAYLIST, SIR
Sharing all of these on Facebook
Oh WOW!!
Great work
GREAT presentation
We SO SO NEED this kind of EXPOSURE to treat the INFECTION of our country
I'll continue watching this series 🙌🏽
You need to make this into a mini series with big stars so people will settle down & watch this…
Saw #32 and was compelled to check out the entire series - THIS NATION HAS BECOME A GREEK TRAGEDY!!!!!
Senator Whitehouse has done a remarkable job of exposing and explaining the Scheme. How do we end it?
Dear Honorable Senator Whitehouse,
Quite pleased, delighted even, by Your clarity of mind, speaking into democracy manifesting.
One unsolicited coaching offered; please keep Your hands up, out, expressive, while speaking-not stuffed in pants pockets!
A large part of content conveyed is via body language, as You likely well know.
Please forgive this abrupt critique.
I am awed by Your work.
God Speed The Plough!
With All Affection, Humor, & Respect,
Douglas H "Edwin" Spurgin
People like Powell should have been Antoinetted long ago.
Well. Look at that. And look at the reporting that's been coming out the past few days.
Time to take down the KOCH MOBSTERS!!!
It might be worth noting that Lewis Powell was asked by Nixon in 1969 to join the Supreme Court, though he declined at that time. He was persuaded two years later to reconsider joining the Court by Nixon's Attorney General John Mitchell.
I'm disappointed that I was unaware of these videos until just today. Kudos to Senator Whitehouse.
Senator Whitehouse should write a book.
Been to Monticello
