Episode 79: Who Likes Ike? (EDS 14)
🕑 Added 2022-10-14 16:36:39 +0000 UTCIn this episode we look at Eisenhower’s ties to Big Oil and how they influenced Operation AJAX--the CIA conspiracy which overthrew Iran’s democratically elected Mohammed Mossedegh in order to install a US puppet, the Shah of Iran.
This is the 14th installment of our Empire and the Deep State series--an in-depth exploration of my new book American Exception: Empire and the Deep State. I am again joined by series co-host Ben Norton of Multipolarista as well our own Seamus McGuinness who is producing the series.
Check out the attached PDF to see the slides we refer to.
Special thanks to Dana Chavarria for the sound engineering!

No clue; the guy is such a monster that it's hard to make any sense of his life/career.

I recently watched “We have to talk about Bill” and couldn’t help but wonder if he had somehow been exposed to the mind control op of MK Ultra or if maybe he was somehow controlled by some deep state forces and therefore allowed to get away for so long. He went from wanting to discuss slavery and black history to just playing a rich doctor - oh and there was also I Spy. (I know he was in the navy but have no idea if he was ever actually in intelligence) On another note, it is definitely a lesson in how the truth is always right in front of us but it is so easy to look away, deny it, and create a way more fun narrative to be in.

We have more coming on Indonesia. Idk how much we'll get into the minutaie of the killings, but the angle of the mutilation psy-op was key in G30S.

You forgot to mention the fact that the CIA work in Indonesia heavily targeted women. In Jakarta Method they go through how they turned the men against the women by convincing them that a group of communist women who they were basically calling witches went and murdered these generals and removed their genitals to stoke fear in the men. What the CIA did to that society was truly some sick shit.
