I haven't reached out to her. I'd have her on if she wanted to come on, but I think she tries to avoid the things I would be more interested in hashing out--the bigger epistemological issues around what is driving this. At least right-wing conspiracists like WW can agree with the proposition that the US should cease trying to rule the world and that we should protect civil liberties. I disagree with their bigger analysis, but at least they recognize that the state is lawless and predatory. They just think it is due to the regime being somehow communist or something.

Guess we know whether or not you’re going to have Whitney Webb on your podcast now. Honestly, if you’re up for it it would be an admirable accomplishment to bury the hatchet and get her on to perhaps discuss her work or contextualize it; if it’s worth it that is, not really sure myself. Reading her stuff makes my head spin after a while. I think your critique is on point because it’s mostly conspiracies floating in space, very difficult to keep it all tethered or to see the point unless it’s just titillation or confirmation that we live in this bizarre Manichaean universe.

Read the actual Joyce Carol Oates book doesn't make M.M. the villian. That's all Hollywood.
