New York Times journalist Alan Feuer says some members of Trump's inner circle have close ties to the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, whose leaders have been charged with seditious conspiracy.

Katherine Stewart is an investigative reporter and author of The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism. She’s spent the past 12 years investigating how USA’s far right got organised after the original Roe vs Wade ruling, using abortion to polarize political debate in the USA and unite a multi-denominational movement to enact their vision of white ethno-nationalism.She joins me to explain how abortion became key to their rise to power; how they’ve spent the past 50 years inserting themselves into education, legislature, and government; the deep network of funders, organisations and individuals whose sole wish is to take power back from the Left. These people aren’t pro-life. They’re pro-power. And to claw it back from them, Katherine says we need to begin organising with the same vigilance and determination they exhibit.Listen on Apple or SpotifyListen on YoutubePlanet: Critical investigates why the world is in crisis—and what to do about it. © Rachel Donald Get full access to Planet: Critical at www.planetcritical.com/subscribe

Is it a political spectrum or is it a political circle? After Marisol posted on social media about the wellness and yoga community being a part of the insurrection at the Capital on January 6th she received a lot of feedback and comments surrounding the extremism that can be found in the wellness community. Adam describes this idea of a political circle, where the further you dig, you will eventually find common ground with someone digging from the other side. In the same way we see political moderates find commonality on an array of issues, political extremists from both ends, find their commonality as well. Marisol and Adam dig deep into the commonality surrounding vaccine decisions and conspiracies with the far right and far left and how their privileged identities have played a role in their information literacy and want for community health. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2021/oct/17/eva-wiseman-conspirituality-the-dark-side-of-wellness-how-it-all-got-so-toxic (Guardian Article: the dark side of wellness) Want more Reading Aloud Podcast? https://www.patreon.com/ReadingAloudPodcast (Become a member of our Pateron)!  Check us out athttps://readingaloud.captivate.fm/ ( https://readingaloud.captivate.fm) (Subscribe, Download, and Review) Follow along on this journey through life onhttps://www.instagram.com/readingaloudpodcast/ ( Instagram) orhttps://www.facebook.com/ReadingAloudPodcast ( facebook) at @readingaloudpodcast or send us a message athttps://my.captivate.fm/readingaloudlove@gmail.com ( readingaloudlove@gmail.com) Thanks for listening!

Macron will now be the first president in 20 years to govern without a parliamentary majority.They discuss whether Macron and his party could have done more to prevent the far right winning so many seats, what the next few years has in store for France and whether forcing the executive to work with other factions could benefit the country's political culture.Further reading:Emmanuel Macron falls to earthFrance's Jupiter may be about to discover a culture of compromiseIn the long shadow of De GaullePodcast listeners can subscribe to the New Statesman for just £1 a week for 12 weeks using our special offer.

CW: xenophobia, racism and far-right violence In mid-May, the world was shocked when an armed man entered a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, and opened fire on ordinary shoppers. It soon became clear that the shooting was a white-supremisist terrorist attack. The shooter cited talking points from a new sector of the far-right to justify his actions: this ideology is called ecofascism.  Jack spoke to author and activist Byron Clarke, an expert on the far-right and disinformation, to find out what ecofascism is and why we should be concerned about it.

‘In many ways, January 6 was the coming-out party for this new coalition of far-right groups, aimed at undermining and corroding our democracy.'

We are joined by Layan Fuleihan, Education Director at the People's Forum: On Friday, 10-15 members of a far-right/anti-vaxxer coalition stormed into the People's Forum, a socialist educational and cultural space on West 37th street. According to members of the People's forum who were present for the altercation, the NYPD facilitated the barrage by preventing the people's forum from forcing the occupiers to leave. The protesters remained in the space for over an hour, while staff and guests were physically assaulted and verbally harassed, and the space was vandalized.

Guest: Justin Ling, Freelance Investigative Reporter As the Conservative leadership race continues, several leadership hopefuls are embracing conspiracy theories in order to win support. For instance, some are engaging in theories like the idea that the World Economic Forum is a deep state illuminati that runs the world. It remains to be seen whether it is a politically savvy move that helps them win this race, or a move that could blow up on them, but what is clear is that there are Canadians who are engaged with these ideas and how that could shape our politics bears watching. This episode was produced by Brian Bradley, Matthew Hearn and Raju Mudhar.

Senate Republicans recently voted down a bill intended to combat what Democrats say is a rise in domestic terrorism, noting the bill constituted the creation of “thought police” offices within federal agencies. On a deeper level, however, the arguments for the bill were based on a false pretense that a recent mass shooting in Buffalo, New York, was done by a “far-right extremist.” In reality, the shooter appeared to be a far-left National Bolshevist, as have others. We invite Trevor Loudon, host of Counterpunch and author of “Enemies Within,” to explain this. In other news, another mass shooting recently took place in Uvalde, Texas, where a man shot and killed 19 children and two teachers at an elementary school. The tragedy is being used politically by Democrats to advance an agenda against firearms, yet emerging information has undermined a central argument to the gun control narrative—that firearms are not needed for defense, when police provide this as a service—since police waited nearly an hour to stop the shooter, out of fear for their own safety. In this live Q&A with Crossroads host Joshua Philipp, we'll discuss these stories and others, and answer questions from the audience. ⭕️ Stay up-to-date with Josh with the Crossroads NEWSLETTER

Three points seem especially important – the distinction between lying and bullshitting, the question of why there is so much bullshit in the current day and age, and a critique of sincerity qua bullshit.Frankfurt makes an important distinction between lying and bullshitting. Both the liar and the bullshitter try to get away with something. But ‘lying' is perceived to be a conscious act of deception, whereas ‘bullshitting' is unconnected to a concern for truth. Frankfurt regards this ‘indifference to how things really are', as the essence of bullshit. Furthermore, a lie is necessarily false, but bullshit is not – bullshit may happen to be correct or incorrect. The crux of the matter is that bullshitters hide their lack of commitment to truth. Since bullshitters ignore truth instead of acknowledging and subverting it, bullshit is a greater enemy of truth than lies. Source:

Nearly three months after the invasion of Ukraine, Russia is finally sealing its first major victory as Ukrainian fighters surrender from Mariupol's last pocket of resistance. Long after the Azov seaport was overtaken, the Ukrainians had kept control of the Azovstal steel mill compound, pinning down an estimated twelve Russian battalions. Now that the fighting is over, Moscow's focus turns squarely to the eastern Donbas region. 

Jennifer Ellis is the face of the movement that handed Donald Trump his biggest defeat of the year. She leads Take Back Idaho, a political action committee founded last year to beat back the growing tide of extremist candidates in Idaho.

It's well-known by now that disinformation media played a significant role in enabling the political rise of Donald Trump. But the truth is that far-right media has been misinforming Americans for many decades. Fake news was a thing before Facebook in other words. A lot of times, it's hard for people who aren't familiar with the topic to understand it in the broad sense, in terms of facts and figures and statistics. That's why it can be useful often to look at an individual's story and how disinformation has impacted individuals. And that's why in this episode, we were happy to be joined by Jen Senko. She is the director producer and writer of "The Brainwashing of My Dad," which started off as a documentary and is now a book. And it chronicles how far right radio and television hosts manipulated her father into believing all sorts of false and hateful ideas. And how he was able to escape from it.

This two part episode is a walkthrough of nuances regarding American identity of neofascism; its historical roots in Europe, the founding figures, and legacy on American orthodox politics.  We explore more on James H. Madole, the former leader and founder of National Renaissance Party in the US, and his ideological progenitors, origins, and intellectual foundations for influencing neoclassical variants of fascism to America.   This episode tackles James Madole's later years and his ideological legacy to various political developments in fascists, far-right movements in the United States. The American version of fascism is heavily grounded on its older European counterparts. It directs the economic system to mercantilist capitalism while shutting down any signs of free market activities. Among more refined versions of this political system is reliance on isolationist and racist culture. This machinery is a premier reason to direct controversies and mobilize domestic attacks, just like the January 6th insurrection, which can deal enough damage to political integrity as well as basic human decency. Alternative iterations of Fascists political economies bear resemblance to State Corporatism under the Non-Aligned (Third Wave) movements. These alternatives, together with the polar extremities of left-wing communism will be compared side by side.   It should be commonsensical that perpetuation of division and hate will hinder our ascendancy from third density to fourth density living. We should abandon divisiveness among ourselves and start recognizing we are all ONE together in evolution and creation. The truth will remain forever in this universe. Nothing else will. That is something you must focus on. That you should always remember. More than any form of belief.   Regardless, we go back to the essence of understanding and love. This way we can see beyond petty grievances and move forward for the better. Your choice, your Free will can help us make this world a better place. Belief is always a choice and we should all promote a community of oneness. Let us join Alex and Jason as they discuss Hate and Bigotry. www.higherdensityliving.com

On this episode, Andreas Umland talks with Lera and Cullan about the Right and the Far Right political movements in Ukraine, addressing the ultranationalist claim propounded by Russian propaganda versus the reality reflected at the election polls in Ukraine since 2014.

They discuss how far-right politicians are weaponizing the climate crisis to build support for an extremist, exclusionary politics based on "batteries, bombs, and borders," how this links to a longer history of right-wing environmentalism, and how the left should respond.A World to Win is a podcast from Grace Blakeley and Tribune bringing you a weekly dose of socialist news, theory, and action with guests from around the world.
