Ep. 87: Anne Nelson Explains the Right-wing Shadow Network And Its War on American Democracy and Freedom Mar 24, 2021

Show notes

Anne Nelson is the author of Shadow Network: Media, Money, and the Secret Hub of the Radical Right. She is an adjunct professor at the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University.

Nelson is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and a former Guggenheim Fellow. Her writing has appeared in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, Harper's, BBC, CBC, NPR and PBS.

Anne Nelson explains how a highly secretive right-wing alliance of Christian fascists, white supremacists, oil lobbyists, gun "rights" operatives, gangster capitalists and others operating under the banner of the Council for National Policy have been actively working to subvert American democracy and freedom for the last four decades.

She also details how the Trump's regime's coup attempt on Jan. 6th was part of a much larger long-term plan to subvert and overthrow multiracial secular democracy.

And Nelson warns that many of the same Republicans and other members of the anti-democracy right-wing including QAnon cultists will likely gain even more power in the 2022 midterm elections as they work to stop Joe Biden and the Democrats' efforts to protect democracy and improve American society.

Ep. 86: The Dangers Facing America's "Democracy" and Future Are Much Greater Than Trumpism Mar 03, 2021

Show notes

Sarah Chayes is the author of the prize-winning book Thieves of State: Why Corruption Threatens Global Security. Her most recent book is On Corruption in America.

Chayes is also a former senior associate in the Democracy and Rule of Law Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. She has also served at the topmost levels of the U.S. military, including as special adviser to two commanders of the international forces in Kabul and then Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mike Mullen.

Sarah Chayes warns that the United States is facing overlapping crises, both at home and globally, which may fundamentally change the lives of the American people. She also explains how the country's democracy is threatened by right-wing radicalization and the enduring power of the corporatocracy over both the Democrats and Republicans.

This conversation is eerily prophetic and took place shortly prior to the attack by Trump's neo fascist white supremacist forces on the United States Capitol and coup attempt on January 6.
