44 - CASINO 4: Shotgun Safari - BCCI, the Safari Club and the Second CIA
🕑 Added 2022-05-08 04:32:13 +0000 UTCWe have reached the midpoint of our CASINO series, friends and neighbours. Tonight we look at some other aspects of George HW Bush's time as CIA Director, the moment when he became the Godfather of the Amerikan Deep State. We look at the privatization of US intelligence, cocaine trafficking, Adnan Khashoggi and the development of Safari Club, and setting up the dark money networks with BCCI. This one has a little bit of everything, folks.

There's a whole Pine Gap/Nugan Hand Bank/Whitlam dismissal nexus to look at. There's the involvement of the palace (confirmed in Prof Hocking's book The Palace Letters). Also the Chile coup/Australian secret services thread, and how those comical ASIO guys cover for something darker and yes, how it was all brought back 'in hand'. I could go on. I've already gone on. I'll stop.

American law firms have to be owned by attorneys, so it can’t be “owned” by that company. And there are usually some types of objective metrics to becoming and staying partner.

Another Aussie here. Good to hear a reference to the constitutional crisis and the promise of more. I’d been hoping you would eventually talk to this. I’d love to hear your take on the sussness of Bob Hawke as well.

Friendly subscribed Aussie here. It's pronounced 'Goff', may he rest in power.
