The Fourth Estate’s Role in Thrusting America into Fascism | |
Charles Hugh Smith and Jim Greig return as guests on this week’s program. Fascism is the system of government that cartelizes the private sector, centrally plans the economy to subsidize producers, exalts the police state as the source of order, denies fundamental rights and liberties to individuals, and makes the executive state the unlimited master of society. By that definition fascism is now rising rapidly in America. The “Fourth Estate” refers to the press and news media, both in explicit capacity of advocacy and implicit ability to frame political issues. It wields significant indirect social influence. At no time in American history has the press manipulated the outcome of a Presidential election more toward a party espousing economic fascism than in 2020. Charles discusses that and how it will impact our economic lives. Jim shares with us the exceptional progress Benchmark Metals has made toward outlining a major gold deposit in B.C. | | |
