Blackrock: Masters of the Universe

July 20, 2023 • Gary Benoit, Alex Newman

The financial monolith known as BlackRock has an estimated $10 trillion under management. It’s using its clout to change the world, but not for the better. In this episode of Beyond the Cover, host Gary Benoit interviews senior editor Alex Newman, who wrote the cover story “BlackRock: Masters of the Universe” for the July 31 issue of The New American. The interview begins with a discussion about whether the magazine’s cover graphic for that article — a globe-straddling vampire squid — will strike some readers as over-the-top conspiracy theory. Alex points out that that depends on how informed people are, and he then proceeds to provide some of the evidence. You’ll not want to miss this interview!

Larry McDonald’s Legacy

August 24, 2023 • Gary Benoit, Christian Gomez

Larry McDonald was the best Congressman in the United States during his tenure in Congress during the 1970s and 80s, according to the “Conservative Index,” the precursor to The New American’s Freedom Index, our congressional scorecard based on the U.S. Constitution. He was also chairman of The John Birch Society, when the passenger airliner he was on was downed by at least one Soviet missile on September 1, 1983. In this episode of Beyond the Cover, host Gary Benoit interviews John Birch Society project manager Christian Gomez, who wrote an article commemorating Larry McDonald entitled “Larry’s Legacy,” and who has great admiration for him.

The Second Amendment at Work

August 17, 2023 • Gary Benoit

Most mass shootings in the United States take place in the workplace. But what makes the workplace a target of choice for would-be killers? And what can be done to make the workplace safer? In this episode of Beyond the Cover, host Gary Benoit interviews Drew Dorans about this question. Drew is the HR Director for both The John Birch Society and its affiliate The New American at our headquarters in Appleton, Wisconsin. The HQ buildings have small signs on the doors saying, “Criminals beware! Concealed carry permit holders welcome here.” So you know where we stand. And of course, we firmly believe that our pro-Second Amendment stance makes our workplace far safer than those who foolishly declare that their businesses are “gun-free zones.” Drew wrote the article “The Second Amendment at Work” in the August 28 issue of The New American.

Is It Too Late for America?

August 10, 2023 • Gary Benoit, Steve Bonta

Social unrest, government corruption, economic and financial instability, nuclear weapons, moral depravity — is it too late to save America from destruction? Many Americans, including newly many awakened Americans, undoubtedly think that it is. But The New American and its parent organization The John Birch Society strongly disagree. In fact, we are very hopeful for the future — though admittedly saving America from falling into the abyss of despotism will require not only the great awakening but also the active participation of the awakened in the freedom movement. In this episode of Beyond the Cover, host Gary Benoit interviews executive senior editor Steve Bonta about why we are so hopeful for the future. Steve is the author of the cover story “Is It Too Late for America?” in the August 28 print edition of The New American magazine.
