90: Micro Mockingbird

The Fifth Freedom, Noam Chomsky and Imperial Rights

Referencing Noam Chomsky's "Turning the Tide," the hosts discuss the "Fifth Freedom"—the U.S. imperial right to rob, exploit, and kill. A 1983 interview with a former agent highlights the cold reality of foreign policy measured by this right. The hosts argue that the term "white supremacy" is a more accurate identifier for what others call "the establishment" or "imperialism."

90: Micro Mockingbird

Racial Division, George Soros and the Four Freedoms

The hosts argue that racial division is intentionally amplified to hide the workings of white supremacy. They claim that the "Four Freedoms" (speech, religion, want, fear) are currently under attack to make the population dependent on the government. George Soros is accused of using his wealth to destroy neighborhoods and create a climate of fear, which the hosts view as an exercise of the "Fifth Freedom."

70: Four Freedoms

FDR's Four Freedoms and the Fear Narrative

In his 1941 State of the Union address, President Franklin D. Roosevelt articulated the "Four Freedoms": freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. The hosts analyze how these principles are being used today, arguing that the current administration focuses on "freedom from fear" to justify the erosion of the other three freedoms.
