Far West and the Global Drug Meta-Group - Part 5 (AE177)
Ben Howard and Aaron to continue our series on the post-Cold War global drug meta-group (GDMG). In this installment, they are joined by Peter Dale Scott who finally breaks his semi-silence on the subject!
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'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 fourth section, “The Meta-Group, the War on Terror, and 9/11.”
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.
Check out the CovertAction Magazine 9/11 trilogy by Good, Howard, Scott:
