Leighton Smith Podcast: Best of 2022 - January 4th 2022

Leighton is on summer break, so we are highlighting some of his favourite guests from 2022. Double Header: "The New York Times is reputed to be the world’s most powerful news outlet. Powerful enough to influence wars, foment revolutions, shape economies and change cultures. It doesn’t just cover the news, it creates it." Ashley Rindsberg, author of “The Gray Lady Winked”, talks about what happens when truth is abandoned in favour of interest and ideology.   Then, who is Alexander Dugin? And what is Eurasianism? A brilliant analysis from Associate Professor Salvatore Babones, University of Sydney, on the Russian Intellectual Dugin. Is he "Putin’s brain” and does he really want to destroy America?
