My parents were around for the whole fiasco. In 1973 they moved from fairly comfortable circumstances in NJ with their two kids, one 4 and the other was two. They made this move so that they could devote as much time in service until the system ended. They moved to a remote part of NC where the closest hall was about 50 miles away. They struggled for 3 years and realized it was a bad move and that the end was not coming. They struggled their entire lives after that with three children and never fully recovered. Both in their late 70's you would think they would have learned.
5 years ago when I began making my exit and spoke to them about this they said the exact same thing that is said in the video. Even down to the part about people deciding on their own to sell houses and cars and even stating many of their friends did the same thing. I even showed them the articles in the Awake from the 60's in their own hardcopy of the bound volumes in their study and they REFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSED to look at it.
There is no saving the generation that lived through it. They have been thoroughly convinced that everything they went through never took place.
