Far West and the Global Drug Meta-Group - Part 2 (AE174)
🕑 Added 2024-06-11 18:00:53 +0000 UTCWe continue our series with Ben Howard 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, “The Global Drug Meta-Group: Drugs, Managed Violence, and the Russian 9/11.” In this episode, we focus on the essay's second section, “The Meta-Group, Drugs, Salafist Islam, and America.”
The 2005 article and its subject matter were a major part of Peter's poem “A Ballad of Drugs and 9/11” which we discussed in Part 20 of our Peter Dale Scott Oral History series.
