Mike, your Peter Sellers impression is on point. 👌🏻

Opening segment slapped
Do you have any resources on the CIA providing and directing Saddam’s use of sarin on the Kurds?

Just finished the Jakarta method and the mention of Indonesia hits hard. Great series so far!
any books that go into detail about the whole “flying horse in corpses” thing?
Fantastic episode. I'm a relatively new listener, so forgive me if this is something you've already done, but I would be very interested in hearing you elaborate on the CIA infiltration/experimentation within the LAPD/CPD/other police departments. In general, it seems like the growing awareness and anger about the influence of the military on police weaponry and tactics within the U.S. isn't matched by a similar outrage toward the influence of intelligence agencies (Jon Burge/Homan Square, TigerSwan, etc.), and an ep that examined that relationship could be illuminating.
Hall of Fame material.
Folks, if you don't want to listen to me, for god's sake, listen to Jerry Stahl
