In this episode of the 1Dime Radio podcast, I am joined by Aaron Good, host of the @American Exception podcast and author of the book, 'American Exception: Empire and the Deep State” to discuss the concept of the 'Deep State' in US politics. The discussion covers topics such as structural “deep events” that dramatically top-down undemocratic reshaped top-down governance, such as the JFK assassination, the mystery surrounding Nixon’s Watergate scandal, the Iran Contra scandal under the Carter and Reagan Administrations, and 9/11 under Bush, Cheyney and Rumsfeld. Good talks about the history and development of the national security agencies formed after World War II amidst the Cold War, their connections to the financial overworld, and their past involvement with the underworld of organized crime.
