English: Americans have been kept—and gladly keep themselves—in a kind of fantasy bubble, tremendously self-involved, blissfully unaware of impending doom all around. Why is this country so naïve—and what can be done about it? Leading journalist, editor and author Russ Baker discusses this, and the American Deep Power Structures that underlie the American trajectory.
