Tonight we look at drugs, high finance, intelligence and terrorism. From South America to the Middle East, we explore how the global drug trade is manipulated by various state and non-state actors, meta-groups, if you will, to serve their own ends. We take in El Chapo, Osama bin Laden, the South American cartels, Nazis, the Soviet-Afghan War, HSBC, Gladio and more. Here we are attempting to create a kind of network map, to better understand how and why drugs are a Hidden Engine of global affairs.

In our second and final UAP discussion, @bpleasies and myself continue to steer the flying saucer of Truth through the vast darkness of The Man's evil schemes. Join us as we explore a little more of the deep politics behind Tom Delonge's disclosure efforts, and marvel with us over our favourite UFO incidents and, indeed, the nature of reality.

In part 1 of this effort, UFO private investigator and first ever Ghost Stories... guest, Bradley from Michigan (@bpleasies), will guide us through the latest round of UFO disclosure from the US government. We then explore the history and deep politics of the phenomenon, in an attempt to liberate the Truth, imprisoned as it is in the underground base of the Mind, from the clammy grasp of spooks, hucksters and crackpots.

We go sicko mode on Jared Leto, Laurel Canyon, the deep politics of celebrity, Silicon Valley, and the human rights industrial complex. It's our first Patreon-exclusive episode and it's edgier than Leto Joker making jokes about 9/11 in a platinum Lamborghini, so get some.

Final part of the AT series, looking at JFK's time in the White House and the bitter struggles between various factions in the power elite. We navigate a head maze of deep corruption, organized crime, radical right wing sickos, and nuclear armageddon, leading inexorably towards Dealey Plaza.

This is it - the penultimate episode of Amerikan Tabloid. See the crows alight on telephone poles like emissaries from the underworld as we follow this broken road into the dark heart of post-war Americana, ash in our eyes and smoke in our lungs. First, we dig on shakedown artist, bagman, fixer and private investigator Robert Maheu, tracking his work for the CIA and Howard Hughes, before dropping in on the Kennedys as Bobby launches a crusade against organized crime and Jack contemplates a presidential run. We then look at the mafia war of the 1950s and the Appalachin farce that humiliated J. Edgar Hoover. Shortly afterwards, the Cuban Revolution leaves American mobsters and businessmen alike out of pocket and looking for payback. Meanwhile, some geek with delusions of grandeur splits from the US Marines and fetches up in the USSR. I hear they call him Lee Harvey Oswald. This one goes well with neat Scotch and a fresh pack of Lucky Strikes. You do not want to miss it, so get some.

In part 4, we examine the psychology of the deep state, the CIA, fascism, and the anticommunist fervor of the 1950s. We then move to Dallas, tracking the ascendant Cowboy faction of the power elite, the economic heart of the US war machine, and the early career of a young George HW Bush. We conclude with a look at JFK and his entry into politics, and the roots of his conflict with Allen Dulles.

The return, baby. We land in the 1940s and move into the 1950s with a look at how the Syndicate consolidated in the post-war years, tracking Meyer Lansky and Bugsy Siegel in the expansion westward and into Cuba. We also discuss the rise of the southwest Cowboys as the boom times arrive and the oil tycoons of Dallas and elsewhere spread their money and influence around Washington.

Soaked in DMT and armed only with scissors and tape, we dive into a pile of newsreels and microfilm to piece together a gutter-level account of deep state intrigue in 1930s Amerikkka. FDR contends with a fascist coup to his right and a firebrand populist to his left, Hoover launches a war on subversives and cracks skulls at home, "Hollywood" Joe Kennedy whistles past the Crash of 29 and continues his climb up the ladder, while Dulles, Bush, and friends cut deals and launder money with the new government in Germany.

The mafia spread from Sicily to the US in the latter half of the 19th century. Thereafter it began a slow and patient accumulation of power as it carved out a niche for itself in the multi-ethnic underbelly of the New World, until Prohibition turbo-charged the black market economy and brought killers and hustlers closer than ever to the commanding heights of American politics and big business...and planted the seeds for 100 years of deep intrigue.
