Episode 330: Viewing the DNC Protest From the Ground

Protesting, always a feature of the 1st Amendment right to free speech in America, has become quite the fashion lately among the American left, possibly even more than it was during the height of the anti-war protests of the 1960s.But these new protests – from enflamed government buildings to tent cities on campus, to blocked traffic on major streets, to terrorist flag-waving congregations – seem to be different somehow. Less about engaging a right to speak freely and more about shutting down discourse. Joining me today to discuss the groups behind these modern melees is Asra Q. Nomani, a former Wall Street Journal reporter and author of the book, “Woke Army: The Red-Green Alliance That Is Undermining America’s Freedom.” She is a founder of the Pearl Project, a nonprofit currently building the Malign Foreign Influence Index portal that examines the groups fomenting anti-Semitism. And she’s been on the ground covering the protests from DC to the DNC in Chicago. She joins us today. Links: Dispatches from Chicago: Unmasking the Web of ‘Malign Foreign Influence’ Behind #MarchonDNC‘Hamas Is Comin’: Following the Money at C and 3rd Streets NWFollow us on our socials: Twitter: @capitalresearchInstagram: @capitalresearchcenterFacebook: www.facebook.com/capitalresearchcenterYouTube: @capitalresearchcenter
