Far West and the Global Drug Meta-Group - Part 4 (AE176)
Added 2024-06-25 20:04:09 +0000 UTCBen Howard joins us to continue our series on the post-Cold War global drug meta-group (GDMG). For a time, the GDMG was centered around the milieu at Far West, a private military/intelligence outfit that combined elements of classic deep state outfits like the World Commerce Corporation, Booz Allen, BCCI, etc.
The basis for this series is Peter Dale Scott's epic 2005 Lobster magazine article, βThe Global Drug Meta-Group: Drugs, Managed Violence, and the Russian 9/11.β In this episode, we focus on the essay's fourth section, βThe Meta-Group, the War on Terror, and 9/11.β
The 2005 article and its subject matter were a major part of Peter's poem βA Ballad of Drugs and 9/11β which we discussed in Part 20 of our Peter Dale Scott Oral History series.
