If you do anything today, I highly recommend that you listen to Chris Hedges’ @chrislynnhedges] most recent podcast!

It’s only short (36 mins) but, boy!, it provides such a powerful insight into the ‘silent coup’ that global corporations have engineered to essentially overthrow democracy across the world since the post -WWII decolonisation period!

Hedges interviews Matt Kennard of @Declassified_UK about his new book “Silent Coup: How Corporations Overthrew Democracy”
