We
had a surprisingly intimate and personal conversation with Dr. Naomi
Wolf for our America Out Loud Pulse episode this week. Dr. Wolf is doing
a heavily scheduled virtual book tour, which involves being booked back
to back with a half dozen or more media outlets in one day and jumping
from one interview to the next. It can be a marathon of sorts, and we
were happy for the half hour we were provided by her scheduler.
In
the Zoom interview, Dr. Wolf was gentle, thoughtful, and intensely
candid, just as she is in her written essays and books, including her
new book, Facing the Beast, Courage, Faith, and Resistance in a New Dark Age. She describes herself as a refugee from another world of academia, culture, and governance.
We
came to our interview agreeing that our entire world has been consumed
for four years by the oppression that continues to this day and which
began with the announcement of the COVID-19 pandemic. Cultures and
ethnic groups all over the world have been oppressed—none except,
perhaps, the highest elitists– have been spared the lockdowns, maskings,
distancing, and bans from churches, synagogues, or mosques. None,
except perhaps the most elite, have escaped being mandated to go to
school, to come to work, to travel for business or pleasure, to play
sports, to spend the afternoon with elder parents, to shop, dine, go to a
concert or an opera, or attend a sports event.
More
deeply, as Dr. Wolf so eloquently describes, we have not been allowed
to attend to the births and deaths of children and elders, to gather for
our most sacred religious and cultural events such as marriages,
funerals, birthdays, Fourth of July celebrations, Christmas, Easter,
Passover and Thanksgiving gatherings and all the other gatherings that
mark the seasons and turnings of our lives and reaffirm connections and
make new memories with the ones we love.
Early
in her book, Dr. Wolf examines the multinational organizations that
have coordinated this oppression and propagated it to a global level. In
her book, Facing the Beast, she states that:
“…one
source of the kind of global cruelty we observed so acutely in the
medical fascism of the pandemic derives from a postwar stratum of power.
Paradoxically, multinational organizations such as the European Union
and the United Nations, agreements such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership
and global corporate and investment communities founded after the
carnage of the Second World War served to create a class of global elite
policymakers, nonprofit leaders, and bureaucrats who are able to engage
in cruel and oppressive policymaking precisely because they are no
longer part of the communities whose lives are affected by what they
have done.”
What
she is describing are the collections of globalists who have appointed
themselves to be in charge of the world and the management and future of
all eight billion souls who inhabit Earth.
We
call these people the Global Predators and document their takeover of
formerly free nations as well as the rest of the global community in our
book, COVID-19 and the Global Predators: We are the Prey. A
subset of these self-appointed “Masters of the World” are the
intellectuals in academia and the movers and shakers in media,
Hollywood, federal and many state governments, and industry who have
been invited to be part of the globalist ruling class, justifying and
enforcing the rules of globalism.
The
focus with which Dr. Wolf herself describes the people she encounters,
along with their habits, traditions, experiences, and surroundings, is
wholly missing from global elites, who sit “on top of the
world,” surveying vast numbers of human beings. Global elites live in
their “top of the world” bubble, interacting only with the subjects who
work for them in various capacities. There is no relationship or
interchange of experiences and encounters that would enable the mega
elites to actually know those whose lives they are impacting through
their governance. At a world level, there are the elites who fly from
one place to another in their private jets, staying at their private
villas and compounds. Then there are those of us in the rest of the
world.
A
similar situation exists in America. Here, the US has been cleaved into
two separate groups—two cultural continents that have been drifting
further and further apart for decades and now look back at each other
across a great divide. Dr. Naomi Wolf has traveled from her world to
join those of us she describes as being in “The Rest of America.” She
joined “the rest of America” in March 2020, when she and her husband
realized they needed to leave New York City for their safety and settled
in a small woodland community.
Dr. Wolf offers us, in her interview and more deeply in her most recent book, Facing the Beast: Courage, Faith, and Resistance in a New Dark Age, insights
that are profound. From her unique perspective as a former member of
the “privileged class,” she shares observations and witnesses the
heartbreak, fear, pain, and anger of these past four years.
“So
we’d witnessed the charming, well-educated, “civilized” people all
around us—especially from what my husband calls (as others do) “the
laptop class” –reveal, during lockdowns and medical tyranny, a side that
was nakedly sadistic.”
For
those of us who have lived in “the rest of America” for the whole of
our lives, she provides insights into that privileged world while
clearly and wholly denouncing the vicious and cruel lengths of
oppression that captains, large and small, of our country, inflicted
upon American citizens.
We
spoke together in the interview, the three of us, about the terrors and
dread we each experienced in 2020 as we faced, layer by layer, the
degrees of evil we were uncovering as we delved into what is driving
this mad worldwide shutdown and then the mass vaccinations that have
killed and crippled so many. We talked about how to survive those
moments that feel so deeply as though we are personally facing evil
personified, some form of Satan himself.
Dr.
Wolf shares her insights as a refugee from the privileged class into
what it was like to leave a culture filled with restrictive and
suppressive rules of right and wrong to arrive in the world where:
“There
is a massive community of people who accept others based on their
character, no matter what they are wearing; who don’t look around the
interiors of their friends’ homes or assess their canapes, with icy
judgment.
“I
have been learning that in “The Rest of America,” people have other
things going on in their lives than just or primarily their work or
their status and that they are allowed, and allow themselves, to
incorporate meaning, adventure, and even fun into their lives….
“…in
contrast to a subculture of hardworking super-achievers who, as adults,
have no fun—I am amazed to find that the world I inhabit now allows for
joy, fun, and meaning.
“And I think that the joy and the sources of meaning kept this half of the country from devolving into animal rage and cruelty.”
Our
conversation felt as though it had only just begun, and we look forward
to continuing our discussion another time. Meanwhile, for all of us,
Dr. Naomi Wolf’s book is available.
Dr. Wolf’s Substack, “Outspoken with Dr. Naomi Wolf,“ is available online.
