In this show, Bill Dixon, the actual circa 1947 federal prosecutor in the court case against NCL/G.M./Standard/Firestone states the FACTS. Turns out researcher Bradford Snell’s “theory” about G.M. and its “NCL” conspiring to destroy the U.S. streetcar system was 100% TOTALLY RIGHT. In fact, NCL’s very first “victim” was Manhattan’s New York Railways. As went NYC, so went the entire nation. Watch Snell’s “Taken For A Ride” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-I8G…
