Another weekend was not spent link hunting. I did find two longish informational videos that seemed link-worthy. Neither is new; both were new-to-me so they might be new-to-you as well.
Economics
This podcast is serious enough and long enough that, IF THE PODCASTER HAD DUE RESPECT FOR HIS AUDIENCE, HE WOULD HAVE TYPED OUT HIS WORDS. It demands a ridiculous three hours of your time. Your browser's not set up to play videos that long and will probably crash after an hour or two. But he does summarize, from George Soros's own book, why Soros says he's not a Marxist even while doing Marxist things toward Marxist goals, why he's consistently made such bad choices, and why so many other Jewish people loathe him and deny that he deserves to be counted as Jewish. (Soros admittedly thinks he is "a god" and is his own chief idol.) The podcaster says in his own defense that reading Soros's book would take even longer and be more boring. He is undoubtedly right about that.

The history of Kellogg's Corn Flakes...The Kelloggs were among the founders of the Seventh-Day Adventist church. In their time their books were marketed by the church along with Ellen or James White's. The results of their medical experiments fed Ellen White's book, The Ministry of Healing. However, John Harvey Kellogg's opinions were his own and he was eventually excommunicated from the SDA church. Most SDA's know that story but they may have forgotten Kellogg's relationships with his younger brother William and with Charles Post.
(Although they do frown on extramarital sex, most Seventh-Day Adventists say that a good marital relationship is one of the blessings of life we're meant to enjoy. Then again, when I consider Seventh-Day Adventist men...)
