The Richie Allen Show

Doctor Rahmeh Aladwan has been persecuted by the British political and medical establishment at the behest of the Israeli lobby. The British-Palestinian trainee surgeon has been suspended, arrested four times and now the lobby is demanding that crowdfunding platforms kick her out. Why? The answer is because she dared to criticise Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people. On today's show, Rahmeh reflects on the personal cost of taking on the lobby, the state of medicine in the UK today, big tech and our medical data, why she believes that Jewish supremacy is central to creeping authoritarianism and more. https://x.com/doctor_rahmeh

Richie is joined by the Irish writer and broadcaster John Waters. John recently published - on his excellent Substack - a passionate and thought-provoking defence of Mattias Desmet's "The Psychology of Totalitarianism." Desmet argues that totalitarianism today grows out of widespread loneliness, anxiety, and loss of meaning. As traditional sources of connection—such as community, shared values, and religion—weaken, people feel isolated and uncertain. In this state, they become more likely to attach themselves to a single story that promises safety, purpose, and control. Covid was such a story, arguably. The book has come in for unfair criticism in truther circles. Desmet has been accused of blaming the victims of totalitarianism for their plight. On today's show, John deconstructs Desmet's arguments and those of his critics. He explains why - in his view - Ireland is the birthplace of totalitarianism, why we should be wary of those who want to lead resistance or protest movements and much more. This is a must-listen conversation. Share it widely on socials. Read John Waters here:https://johnwaters.substack.com/
