Listen Later

In this episode of 'Department of the Dead,' join our seasoned hosts, Amanda, Thot, and welcome the newest Spooky B*tch, Jess, as they untangle the intricate web of the CIA-Contras-Cocaine scandal that unfolded under the Reagan administration. The hosts delve deeply into the serious allegations that the CIA actively facilitated drug trafficking to finance the Contra rebels in Nicaragua. This Contra-versy also considers the far-reaching effects of this scandal on US foreign policy and domestic politics, offering a nuanced understanding of this historical event. We also examine the roles of key figures such as Oliver North and Ronald Reagan. To add a surprising twist, a scandalous murmuring about First Lady Nancy Reagan comes to light thanks to Jess’s Reddit search. Nancy, who famously misunderstood what 'blow in the bathroom' meant, resulted in a charming yet noteworthy anecdote that some circles might find shocking. The episode concludes by delving into various conspiracy theories, illuminating the lingering questions still shrouding this controversy. Tune in for a journey into one of the most debated chapters of American history.
