Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 26 - The Fort Bragg Cartel w/ Seth Harp
Q: Do you worry about an organization like Delta Force just taking over the US state?
It's hard to envision that as they are very much part of the deep state and their power stems from the continuity of the US government.
Ep 26 - The Fort Bragg Cartel w/ Seth Harp
Q: Can an organization like Delta Force be reformed or does it have to be abolished?
The very existence of units like Delta Force is downstream from our foreign policy. Reform requires ending foreign wars and adopting a more peaceful stance.
Ep 26 - The Fort Bragg Cartel w/ Seth Harp
Q: Can you just tell us about the Long Street Gate bust at Fort Bragg in January of 2023?
After a spate of murders tied to my book, 13 soldiers were rounded up in a huge bust, but ultimately, nothing happened regarding the investigation.
Ep 26 - The Fort Bragg Cartel w/ Seth Harp
Q: Could you just briefly explain like how the DEA was cooking the books on all this?
The DEA claimed that only one percent of heroin in the United States comes from Afghanistan, which defies credulity given Afghanistan's status as the world's largest producer of drugs and the U.S. being the largest consumer.
Ep 26 - The Fort Bragg Cartel w/ Seth Harp
Q: Are there many other books and articles that discuss this that I just missed? Or if there's not, why do you think that is?
To my knowledge, there's no books that adequately discuss the link between Afghanistan and the heroin epidemic in the United States, which seems to me like a grave oversight.
