  1. No, James. that's not correct. Plausibility is one of the "basic standards for publication" that you correctly refer to. Incorrectness necessarily makes a paper unpublishable.

  2. Hell's Angels + Racist Group + Car Thieves = how many groups? Any number higher than "one" seems charitable.

  3. Around 10:00, the word is not ANTI-trust. It's anti-TRUST. Quite apart from actual usage, there's the meaning: the essence of the word is that it's about trust, not that it's against something-or-other. One good idea is to read your script once or twice before you record it, so that you understand it and are recording meaning, not vacant, empty words from a page. I'm leaving at this point, Bobby. The headline claim that Nortel "broke Canada" is irritating click-bait to start with. Then there are a sprinkling of half-truths and small errors across the first ten minutes. At this point, I'm convinced that you have just made a collection of dates and unconnected factoids and thrown them together, but don't really know what you're talking about. This ANTI-trust thingie is the last straw: perfect typical YouTube crud.

  4. At around 5:10, note that the United States, unlike Canada, is largely made up of former Spanish colonies. Forida was one of the original 13, and the "Louisiana" Purchase, of everything drained by the Mississippi, was largely settled by Spanish settlers and Mexican natives. Louisiana certainly aquired a French-speaking population, the expellees from Canada, but it was originally Spanish land. The actuall "French" participant in the American Union was Missouri, which was officially bilingual until 1957. But no, French and English are not the reason Missouri has two Federal Reserve banks. I dunno, can we suppose it's somehow the result of a bank auditor saying "Show me"?
