Intellectual Takeout and Charlemagne Institute are proud to announce Backchannel: a free, live videocast presentation and discussion. We invite our readers and supporters to watch these weekly presentations from one of our thinkers on a designated topic, and submit their questions for the subsequent Q&A session. It’s a continuing opportunity to join an interactive forum – to hear from some of our country’s brightest minds, ask questions, and gain their behind-the-scenes insights and wisdom.

This week's episode:
The Poor Man's Sam Francis
 
 
with Pedro Gonzalez,
Chronicles
 contributor
 

Please join us Friday, October 30, 2020 at 2 p.m. CDT for this week’s Backchannel videocast featuring Pedro Gonzalez, Chronicles contributor and American Greatness assistant editor, discussing his piece "The Poor Man's Sam Francis" from the October 2020 issue of Chronicles magazine. Gonzalez will discuss Francis's theory of the managerial revolution, the neglected "Middle America", its influence on Trump, his view of the coming election, and the future of the Republican Party and conservatism.

Gonzalez writes in Chronicles:

“Consider America’s situation today. Law-abiding Americans are technically still living under draconian, nationwide lockdowns under the pretense of fighting a deadly pathogen. Simultaneously, the cities they live in were subjected to racially motivated rioting, in which mob members conspicuously flouted public health guidelines, engaging in vandalism, assault, arson, murder, and mayhem, with the tacit acceptance of government and the media. The contradictory nature of this situation was predicted long ago by Francis, writing in [Chronicles] in July 1994.”
