The Rising Tide of Hate: Fascism in America

The Peace Center and Tikkun Olam (Social Action) Committee of Congregation Kol Emet will host a series of three talks concerning the White Supremacist movement, Christian Nationalism, and the loose cabal of political allies that have allowed the resurgence of Fascism Ideology in America.

Presented by Steve Nolan, career military officer and Chief of mental health for three military installations, two military prisons and Chief of Combat Stress for Paktika Province, Afghanistan, in a career that spanned 30years.

Steve is the author of “American Carnage, An Officer’s Duty to Warn,” a clinical assessment of our current Commander in Chief and his mental unfitness for command.

He will explain malignant narcissism —the essential ingredient to Fascist leadership, and how it was able to take root in the land of the free — the individual psychological factors and mass psychological factors, that have allowed the resurgence of ideas that The Greatest Generation thought they had thrown on the scrap heap of history.

Steve is also the author of three books of poetry, “Go Deep,” “Base Camp,” and “A Palace of Ruins.” His work was featured on National Public Radio upon his return from Afghanistan.
