Today Naomi Klein for the hour, on Doppelganger, a trip into the mirror world.

In her new book, Naomi Klein delves deeply into the culture of conspiracy theories and the

growing alliance between the far right and people who once identified as part of the left,

including Naomi Wolf, now embraced by Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon.

Naomi Klein describes Naomi Wolf as her doppelganger.

What I've learned by shadowing my double is that the forces that have destabilized my

personal world are part of a much larger web of forces that are destabilizing our shared

Welcome to democracynow.org, The War and Peace Report.
