#101 - Phoenix Rising pt. 1 w/ Douglas Valentine

This week we are honored and humbled to be joined by the legendary Douglas Valentine, author of such noided classics as “The Phoenix Program” - the quintessential work on the CIA’s mass surveillance and assassination program in Vietnam; “Strength of the Wolf” and “Strength of the Pack” - chronicling deep-state involvement in global drug trafficking through control of the drug-enforcement apparatus; and his memoir “Pisces Moon,” which ties together history, personal narrative, and Debordian political insights on how the present reflects the past.

Our conversation is both wide-ranging and succinct, and we hope will be only the first of several.
