1964, Government Takes Farm Against Owner's Will. Filmmakers Record it.

Thank You Mr. Hoffman for continuing to publish your work. It is timelessly excellent and relevant on many levels......

I'm reminded of something I read in a comment section of one of your other videos. These guys are of a generation that grew up taking rhetoric class in school, and it is so apparent. All of their arguments are so clear, concise, and well crafted.

Now we’re beginning to feel the pressure. Yes sir, indeed we are.

We gonna need your city for the new data center you don’t want. We’re gonna need your land to build the infrastructure to surveil you and enslave you after you’re all out of work. But don’t worry it’s in the “public interest”. And no need to worry about your children. You probably don’t have them anyway, and the chemicals we’ve been spraying are impacting your reproductive health and the embryological development of any offspring you did manage to produce. Oh, and the money we’re giving you in compensation for the land we steal, we’re gonna inflate it so you can’t afford to move anywhere or buy the GMO foods we’re gonna fill your grocery stores with.

The sad part is those farms are probably now covered in tract house McMansion’s, Walmart and a strip mall with a Dollar Store.

Guy looks like he is missing an arm, and still working the land.

They took my grandfather's farm in Kansas for Lake Wakonda. He'd feed the hobos during the depression (the number "8" scratched on the fence post told others they had eaten there), had german POWs in WW2 (including the pianist from the Berlin philharmonic), set records for corn per acre (including my birth year of '59!) - but none of that and a million things more mattered to the damn dam engineers. RIP grandpa 1899-1969 - dead from the mustard gas cancer from WW1, fighting for our liberties, which ultimately he was denied.

Thank you so much Mr. Hoffman. I lived in Chambersburg as a child.

Look at the problems out west with Hoover dam and the other dams in reservoirs catastrophic every single time man thinks they could manage mother nature she throws a curveball at them that they just couldn't foresee

So well spoken people.
