Are We Ruled By a Shadow Government?

Season 1 · Episode 2 · Oct 31, 2024

Shane Smith and author Peter Dale Scott, who popularized the term the Deep State four decades ago, on how it combines government agencies, the military, and organized crime. Scott discusses everything from recent Trump assassination attempts to historical deep events like the Bay of Pigs, the CIA and Mafia attempting to assassinate Fidel Castro, the Kennedy assassination, and Watergate. They get into the CIA’s involvement in the d**g trade, from Burma to Afghanistan, and its links to American cities during the Vietnam War. They get into how continuity of government plans, originally developed during the Cold War, were implemented on 9/11 and how that contributed to the creation of post-9/11 policies like the Patriot Act. They cover how Oligarchs in the Ukraine could be manipulating events to maintain financial control, especially regarding the ongoing conflict with Russia, and how economic interests are at play in both the war and U.S. political dynamics. And it’s funny!
