The closest I’ve ever come to crashing my car is when Felix asked if the makeshift YPG tank Brace rode in had an aux cord. Not sure why, but that completely set me off.

I’m currently reading “Case Closed” by Gerald Posner, which was written as a refutation of the JFK-CIA conspiracy. It’s an interesting read and honestly contains some details that temper my conviction of the Agency’s involvement—the principal of which is Oswalds apparent life-long vocal adherence to Marxism. Oswald apparently read Kapital while in high school and got kicked out of a classmate’s house for spouting off on his love of communism.

No real explanation for Demohrenschildt’s relationship with Harvey, and George’s connection to the CIA is hand waved away with like one paragraph of bullshit explanation. The author also claims that Demohrenschildt was a leftist. Also no convincing explanation for the CIA address provided on Oslwad’s Fair Play for Cuba Comittee fliers. I haven’t gotten far enough in yet, but I’m certain it won’t meaningfully address Jolly West’s involvement with Jack Ruby. Should be interesting to see how condescending of a tone Posner takes w/r/t Jolly’s involvement with MK Ultra.

Oswald’s youth and record in the marines make him come off as more of a patsy from day one than a knowing asset. He seems like the Cold War equivalent of the mentally challenged guy who gets coerced into action by an undercover agent.

He is also the comms director for the Protasia Foundation, a “sex positive” organization dedicated to “an evidence-based approach” to preventing CSA.

Not sure why Peter Dale Scott isn’t interested in the Colston Westbrook/Jolly West connection. Seems like a major revelation to me.

This cartel episode has big Joe Rogan just asking questions vibes.

What if drug cartels are fake, and I’m using the movie Traffic as all my reasons for why. Followed up by some hard hitting pushbacks like oh, interesting and right right.

I couldn’t finish the interview so maybe it gets better but he has like half an interesting point that he would contradict almost immediately.

But here I am mad posting about a show that is basically astrology for men so who am I to criticize.

I was supremely disappointed, but it doesn’t get better. The back half of the interview is a freshman level discussion on pop culture representations of Mexico/Mexicans.

its funny to listen to a podcast that constantly talks about how mafias and other criminal organizations are extensions of the state, but then get upset when they start talking about this concept in brown countries

They spend maybe 30 seconds discussing how traffickers were somehow (informally or formally) connected with local police like forty years ago. And the big evidence that cartels are not as well organized as typically thought is a statement from an imprisoned boss that amounts to: “I am not the leader of a massive criminal organization.” Highly underwhelming. Maybe his book has some real content in it, but that interview was a snoozer.
