On this episode of The Barnes Review History Hour, host José Niño sits down with Dr. Michael Rectenwald—author, former NYU professor, and founder of the Anti-Zionist America PAC (AZAPAC)—for a penetrating conversation on the nexus between Zionist power, censorship, and the modern surveillance state.
Rectenwald discusses his new novel The Cabal Question, a daring work of political fiction that explores the forbidden intersections of history, ideology, and global control. He explains how thought crimes, propaganda, and elite networks sustain the current order—and why genuine intellectual inquiry has become dangerous in the West.
The discussion also covers Rectenwald’s evolution from Marxist academic to libertarian dissident to outspoken anti-Zionist organizer, and his ongoing efforts through AZAPAC to restore American sovereignty and expose foreign influence over U.S. policy.
