Tuesday Happy Hour, 12/10, noon Pacific with Dr. Nafeez Ahmed
Dr Nafeez Ahmed — author of the new book Alt Reich — is a globally-renowned systems theorist, change strategist and investigative journalist, formerly of The Guardian and VICE, whose work has been officially used by the 9/11 Commission, the London bombings coroner’s inquest, and cited in the Congressional Record and houses of parliament. He is currently Director of the Futures Lab at Unitas Global Advisory; Executive Director of the System Shift Lab; and a Distinguished Fellow at the Schumacher Institute for Sustainable Systems. He is also the Special Investigations Reporter-At-Large for the Byline Times newspaper. He has twice been featured in the Evening Standard ’s list of the top 1000 most influential Londoners.
On Alt Reich: The West faces its most dangerous threat since World War II. Over the last 100 years, a shadowy network of American, British and European extremists inspired by Nazi eugenics has worked feverishly to shape an insidious new fascism, masquerading under the banner of ‘freedom’. Award-winning journalist Dr Nafeez Ahmed – who predicted the far-right’s rise to the mainstream fifteen years ago - reveals why this network emerged, who is behind it, how it works, and what it wants: to replace Western democracies with a global technoauthoritarian order that protects elite power in an age of planetary polycrisis. This book maps out for the first time how this network is weaponising anti-black, anti-Jewish, anti-migrant and anti-Muslim hatred to divide us, from Washington
to London, Brussels to Amsterdam, Budapest to Moscow, and beyond - giving citizens the tools they need to disrupt the march of the Alt Reich.
Reviews:
“In Alt Reich, Dr. Nafeez Ahmed has created an important document for future historians to understand how the fascists could rise again. He also offers a blueprint for how democracy defenders can defeat them with a transformative vision of a future that remains to be written.”—Heidi Siegmund Cuda
“A powerful insight into the international far right. A must
read for anyone interested – or concerned – about the global
rise of hate.”—Nick Lowles, HOPE Not Hate; UK government advisor on
anti-Muslim hatred
“The rise of the far right threatens liberal democracies
everywhere. This superb book by one of Britain’s finest
journalists explains how this is happening. It could scarcely
be more relevant, revealing or important.”—Peter Oborne, former chief political commentator of Daily Telegraph
