In this installment of Badlands Book Club, CannCon and Ashe in America work through Chapter 4 of Stolen Elections, focusing on the figure of Frank Holder and the web of intelligence, finance, and consulting firms described in the book. The discussion follows the chapter’s progression, examining Holder’s background, his ties to U.S. intelligence, Latin American operations, and his role within major due diligence and risk mitigation firms operating across governments, banks, and corporations. CannCon and Ashe unpack claims involving CIA assets, double and triple agent narratives, money laundering allegations, and the use of consulting firms as gatekeepers of public trust. The chapter also explores connections to Cuba, Venezuela, Argentina, Bolivia, and broader intelligence operations, raising questions about elections, corruption, and institutional accountability. Throughout the episode, the hosts critically analyze the book’s framing, highlight contradictions within the narrative, and emphasize how Chapter 4 fits into the larger thesis presented in Stolen Elections.
