We try to understand The Enterprise, exploring Poppy Bush's time as Vice President and the way Iran-Contra was quickly transformed into a limited hangout to hide a much bigger matrix of breathtaking corruption. From the oil capos of Saudi Arabia to the banking scams of 80s America, the opium fields of Afghanistan and the rise of counter-terrorism in foreign policy circles, we look at how this systemic corruption planted the seeds for much of our ongoing derangement.

Check out @marina0swald superb piece on the Reagan assassination attempt here:

What books did you draw from most for these eps? Thanks.

Who is the person speaking in the clip at the very beginning of the episode? It sounds like Michael Parenti to me

Joshua P. Kelly

also wondering and legit thought the same - I came here to see if there was any info on who the clip came from!

Tvvvv

Listening back through these episodes about this famed obvious antisemitic trope and coolest animal. Great stuff.

Did anyone get Marina’s article before it was deleted?

Winstie

I just tried to get it and it's gone. Not even in the wayback machine. I had to tried to find it while taking a break about 50 minutes in due to being 100% totally freaked out as I listened and the wind is howling outside.

Great listening to this i never got this fat on the octopus series first time round. I find poppy bush to be fascinating. So much stuff going on that i’m vaguely aware of enough to find it all so confusing.

John

Whats the Intro clip?

How can we find Marina's piece of Hinckley?

one of Biden's last acts was an EO amending CoG.

The Hinckley thing is bone-chilling, I return to it again and again. "Crazy" guy who already tried to kill a President. Multiple layers of cover stories starting with Jodie Foster and leading ultimately to a young man taking revenge for government "harassment" of his family's business (none of them leading you closer to the truth). With Bush presiding over a martyr's corpse, free of suspicion, with loads of sympathy and a free hand at the pinnacle of power. Poppy truly was a dark genius. Given how things turned out anyway, it's interesting to imagine if he was on the throne in the 80s rather than the power behind it.

Holy shit a two hour ep. Gonna put this on when I get home tonight

Travis Linnemann

you had a quote from a woman author towards the end speaking of drug war/COG/urban warfare, where did you get that?

Paul Sullivan

This is the best money I've ever spent sure I could read these books but I love the narrative and narrator.

There is no such thing as a “Bitcoin CEO.” Your comments about Bitcoin were very uninformed. Crypto and Bitcoin are not the same.
