Lee Smith: Are There Any True Democracies Left to Partner With? Masks Damaging Our Young
Wide Angle with Brendon Fallon“When we see the West imposing these sorts of authoritarian lockdowns, and we see them aiming to impose bio-surveillance states, this must change our perception of the world.” In this episode of “The Wide Angle,” Lee Smith poses the question: Where does ‘democracy-based’ foreign policy stand in a time of dwindling democracy under Covid-19 restrictions and mandates? Lee Smith is a veteran investigative journalist who writes for both “The Epoch Times” and “The Tablet.” Historically, the alliances and partnerships between Western countries have been largely based on shared democracy. So, what happens when Western “democracies” veer drastically away from democratic principles? And when it comes to confronting the major tyrants of our times, like the Chinese Communist Party, how do the actions of “Democratic” governments really measure up?
