A while back I was looking for a quality channel to fall asleep to. I discovered this one only to be drawn into the stories of each individual. I’ve learned so much and find myself fascinated by people I would’ve deemed boring in my younger days. Thanks again for the hard work and neutral narrative. No biases, no personal opinions. Love the voice, and the intro always gets me a little giddy.

[@jaymetcalfe8540]

Me too, and here I thought that I was the only one who enjoyed falling asleep to this stuff.

[@jackiwheeler6963]

I wish I'd paid more attention in history class.

Hoover really was the ultimate swamp creature.

It was said he started. mooning in swampy water

[@joez.2794]

I had almost forgotten what unbiased narration was like. Excellent!

[@joanfourie1753]

He was a BULLY

[@williampenn3766]

A booty duty bully, here we have a guy man he head of the leading secret police organization of the world next to the Gestapo. Given a choice I would settle with hoover shitty deal literally.Its people like hoover who delayed the racial well being of this country which is not up to being this day.

[@manueldavidson1398]

John Edgar Hoover was such a notorious individual who was responsible for destroying the lives of so many people.

[@arcofspira]

Excited to watch this one, thank you for another enlightening documentary.

[@eustacemason8871]

In my opinion, he was allowed to run his department without any oversight of his own actions

[@shadrach6299]

Everyone was afraid of him.

[@EverydayWisdom]

Hoover an Empire himself for decades

[@joanfourie1753]

What did they think prohibition would do. Hysterical😂

[@adtiamzon3663]

🇺🇸😎🤫 J. Edgar Hoover: Interesting. 🤔 Now we know. Thank you for sharing Hoover's life and career.

[@140moorest]

Pretty good, but you failed to include Hoovers attack on Marcus Garvey and Malcolm X. Without Garvey there would be no Malcolm, Martin or Black Panther party. Hoovers attack on Black civil rights were relentless. He also did not destroy the KKK.

[@samlopez1013]

Why would he was the WORST FBI guy, a True Ass

[@anthonytripp2251]

Marcus Garvey was convicted in 1923. Hoover didn't become director of the BOI until 1924. The FBI was formed in 1925. Garvey was a con artist who preyed on the black community

[@duttyscorpio2115]

​@@samlopez1013👀🇯🇲🔥

[@vfergi8196]

That's why I ended looking for this documentary..exactly what you said..he was obsessed with making sure Marcus Garvey or other leaders and minorities in general did not advance. Wicked, especially being that his parents were from other country

[@florinivan6907]

He didn't completely destroy the KKK but the feds dismantled its largest chapters. In 1964 the KKK was large enough that it could have started a full blown second civil war. Yeah it was that powerful. But the FBI reduced it within 6 years to a small time fractured operation. There was one negative side effect. The remaining KKK members were the true die hards and surviving chapters got far more radicalised in the 70s which is one reason it got harder to penetrate them. But in 64 everyone expected all out war in the South. The KKK had enough clout to start it.

[@rodneycroft5889]

Thank you for reporting the facts, to allow us to draw our own conclusions.

Hoover was a Crafty Butcher and a Chutney Ferret. and had the dope on many people.

[@howtomoscow4764]

When did Hoover start dressing up as a woman?

[@joanfourie1753]

Wonder that too

[@heatherporterfield7343]

​@@joanfourie1753 Crossdressing usually starts young. He was doing it since he was a kid.

[@samlopez1013]

All the time probably when he was 15, Stupid F.

[@NicholasDemichele-m2h]

Wondering 🤔 when he started riding the Hershey hwy 🛣️?

[@caroleminke6116]

My mother caught my father in our kitchen bathroom one night wearing my sister’s bra & panties. He also stole her Victoria’s Secret catalog. It’s typical of male narcissists who were mother’s golden boy as he was till he died

[@dana.j9062]

You could see the evilness in edgar hoover face besides his hypocrisy.

[@ahmadnixon1428]

This was phenomenal. You guys just left out Marcus Garvey, The Nation of Islam, Elijah Muhammad and Malcom X.

[@johnathandaviddunster38]

He lived in a vacuum ...

[@lucasrem]

He was not able to do the real Hoover, what was he !

[@caroleminke6116]

Hoover is a term in narcissistic abuse for sucking the victims in again

[@MLeath-fc2dt]

Why nobody mentions his 28 pairs of ladies high heels in three pairs earrings

[@williampenn3766]

You recalled his ass ordered all his personal perversion, transgender, spying invasion of rights, etc.ACTs

[@mwi3865]

Its crazy you didnt go into any of his wretched sex life

[@williampenn3766]

Yeah, back during those days exposing his homosexual life style would have destroyed him.

[@williampenn3766]

Still feared from his grave where every he's bury, hear tell people find where he bury to dig his Ass up. Hey I m a black man and have no respect for hoover ,it's too bad his history mandatory and black secondary.

[@erwinrommel2055]

[@mattgeorge90]

[@ministerofdarkness]

Hoover’s investigation and illegal surveillance of Dr. King should have had him prosecuted.

[@jeetkunedoatlanta2464]

Prosecuted by who??? He had blackmail files on everyone...

[@TheHappinessHelper_XO]

Wow ans Kudos. That was packed with so much info, I will have ro watch it again. I was on the edge of my seat like it was a mystery I didn't know the end of.

Small point: james Earl Ray was extradited from London Ontario, not from London, England.

Why wait until you die? What kind of heterosexual man would live with his mother until the age of 45? He NEVER had a relationship with a woman, and had breakfast, lunch and dinner, along with extended vacations, with Clyde Tolson. His inner circle of friends were well aware of his homosexuality. There are several KZbin documentaries about it.

This isn't even about Slavery but I see people saying the civil war wasn't fought over slavery. These people are so tiresome.

[@wraithconscience]

Respected economists, among them Thomas Sowell reject the idea that Roosevelt "stabilized" the depression economy. On the contrary, Roosevelt's actions PROLONGED the despression by about 6 years. There had been similar crashes after the Civil War and all of them recovered within about a year or so WITHOUT ANY ACTION FROM THE GOVERNMENT WHATSOEVER !

[@EllanDay-hz2ib]

I wonder if the U s govement ever investigated J E Hover as he was gay and living with his lover all his life , he was the cause of ruining a lot of gays at that point in time .👎👎👎

[@desmondthibeaux5609]

Do Malcolm X and Harriet Tubman

[@MrMarcodarko]

I learned Tuban from Canadian History in the 90s but none my American friends know her name

[@Rasdawg915]

Tubmans husband was a rich, free black male, who had voting rights when most whites didn't. And also helped her set up the underground railroad through contacts he had even though he thought it was a bad idea. Food for thought. History is usually not fully taught.

[@chickenfishhybrid44]

​@@MrMarcodarko Tubman? Yeah right lmao

He was a horrific excuse for a human being. Who may have had a hand in the deaths of John and ,Bobby Kennedy, along with Martin Luther King. With that much power it was way too easy to pull strings, call in favors and cover things up

Marilyn Monroe and Malcolm X too.

[@keithstump1712]

As usual, the portrait woefully fails to capture the subject.

[@tmr626]

Just saw a video with Judge Joe Brown and he stated that Hoover was really a black man who passed himself off as white. He and his family were chased out of Louisiana when people found out.

Not "See-ward square", "SEWARD Square", like SOO-WARD. Geez!

[@СергейСавин-ъ2ш]

If considering the scale of perishing in labour camps, fierce tortures during interrogations, and executions for trifles or nothing, Hoover looks rather inoffensive in comparison with his colleagues and contemporaries, Genrikh Himmler and Laurentiy Behriya. Thus, Hoover was buried with honours, while the ashes of two others were thrown away. Certainly, Hoover wasn't an angel at all. The matter is that a supreme police chief is a mirror of all the political situation in a given power. Sergey (61), Russia.

[@jackreacher.]
