Wednesday March 26 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
An evening with Dr Nafeez Ahmed, discussing his latest work of essential investigative journalism, ALT REICH: The Network War To Destroy The West
From Within
Why does Elon Musk suddenly care about what’s happening in Britain?
Over the last 100 years, a shadowy network of American, British and European extremists
inspired by Nazi eugenics has worked feverishly to shape an insidious new fascism, masquerading under the banner of ‘freedom’. This is all revealed and expounded in Alt Reich, the new, vital, book from award-winning journalist Dr Nafeez Ahmed who will be joining us to discuss the far-right’s rise to the mainstream and reveal why and how this network emerged, who is behind it, how it works, and what it wants: to replace Western democracies with a global techno-authoritarian order that protects elite power in an age of planetary poly-crisis.
Ahmed explains Musk’s pivotal role in the network behind Trump’s return and the forming of a new ‘techno-utopian fascism’ that merges corporate tech power with the state. Musk and X are part of a broader network of billionaire oligarchs with questionable views on race, tech platforms, and far-right groups that are fed up with democracy as we know it. Russian President Vladimir Putin is an integral player in this network. And this has significant implications that the Western national security establishment ignores at everyone’s peril.
Dr Nafeez Ahmed is a renowned systems theorist, change strategist and award-winning
investigative journalist, formerly of The Guardian and VICE, who 15 years ago predicted the
meteoric rise of the far-right across the West. A bestselling author of seven books including A
User’s Guide to the Crisis of Civilization, he is Byline Times’ Special Investigations Reporter At
Large. His work has been officially used by the 9/11 Commission, the London bombings
coroner’s inquest and cited in the Congressional Record, as well as in the UK House of
Commons and House of Lords – including in multiple parliamentary select committee inquiries.
