We try to understand The Enterprise, exploring Poppy Bush's time as Vice President and the way Iran-Contra was quickly transformed into a limited hangout to hide a much bigger matrix of breathtaking corruption. From the oil capos of Saudi Arabia to the banking scams of 80s America, the opium fields of Afghanistan and the rise of counter-terrorism in foreign policy circles, we look at how this systemic corruption planted the seeds for much of our ongoing derangement.
