Fort Bragg Fever feat Seth Harp (E336)

You know what sucks is I read this book and it had some good points, but the dude is a Covid truther and claimed that the war in Ukraine was purely a proxy conflict run by the US, which ignores a ton of context and nuance. Sucks that nobody pushed back on that or even addressed it in the interview.

Just finished this book. Kind of want to kill myself now also. But it was excellent.

Delta kinda sounds like the precursor to the post humans from After the Revolution.

This should be headline news. But with Trump causing a new catastrophe everyday to distract from his fascistic power grab, it’s just another brick in the radioactive wall.

Julian is an awesome interviewer. Open questions that allow the guest to give comprehensive answers. Can't wait to read this book.

Idk guys, I feel like the podcast is ignoring the crime of the century for 2 years. Disinformation, conspiracy theories, hasbara campaigns, censorship on social media, and the fact that the dems are in a civil war over the genocide. Why ignore all this guys? I kind of lost respect for this podcast.

We need an episode about the top israeli spy getting arrested for trying to fuck a 15 year old and take her to the circus.

Your favorite local bookstore can probably order this book btw

I just ordered the book.

Fort Bragg; named after one of the worst generals in the American Civil War, fighting for the Confederate States of America. Somehow the stories coming out that...glittering...place just seem appropriate.

Excellent episode!!

Yall made the point that we didn't use to assasinate the leaders of the opposition. I think that's only true for rich person and their army vs rich person and their army. Even in war, the rich people are protected. However, when its rich person and their army vs poor people or other colored people, the leaders have always been targets.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, god bless real journalists. . They deserve to be protected.

Is there going to be a way to listen to the Cursed Media shows on Patreon? I really am not interested in adopting a new platform.

I’m starting to think Delta Force exfill’ed Epstein (IDF connection), swapped the body, and got him into Israel under a new name. These dudes are dark.

Amazing episode guys! Seth was great. I immediately purchased the book before the episode was even over. Now I am 2 chapters in and riveted.

Waw, just Waw! The conclusion is a bit sad, that they were able to get away with it, and maybe the only thing that could stop this is to wait for the institution to rot from the inside.

I just got to the part in the book where Covid is said to have leaked from a Chinese lab and it’s interesting that not one of the pods has brought that up. Not even Tucker.

I'm 3 chapters into the book and it's really good stuff. Wikipedia taking a hammering while I read. By the way, the narrator on the audible book is the best narrator I've ever listened to, fyi.

Best of the Harper book tour pods yet imo

Can we stop using "schizo" and schizophrenia as a pejorative to refer to people and their content online? It's like this generation's r-word, and it is hurtful. We need to fight mental health stigma, and removing those words is a simple way to do so.

Bold of the author to assume an organization that trains with the IDF would see killing a journalist as a step too far

I listened to this and the Chapo episode with Seth back to back. It’s the first time I immediately went to listen to the book discussed. Amazing work Seth!

does this not sound like the the first season of the punisher series? this is insane.

great episode but, being petty here, i distinctly remember early this year travis was playing his default deboonker role & lambasting people who believed there was something uniquely nefarious about fort bragg. myself and others referred him to seth harp's work which at the time he did not engage with. no mea culpa here, travis? any reflection on that knee-jerk impulse of yours to debunk every unfamiliar claim sight unseen?

“Bustin’ for Bigfoot” sounds like a Chuck Tingle novel title

Just ordered from Penguin.

Another great episode, but I need to know, if RFK Jr finds his miracle cure for Neurodiversity, how are they going to find any new recruits for Delta Force? 🤣

Just bought my book!!

I posted something similar when trueanon did “afghan heroin” episode (and this exact post earlier today in the Seth chapo thread as well)… the thing that’s hard to figure in the heroin situation and actually points to some serious competence in whoever arranged the Afghan to America dope traffic line is the different ways dope is processed. Afghan heroin in Europe is almost always #3 where powdered Mexican dope in America is almost always processed one step further into #4, a salt. (Think crack vs powdered cocaine) This is why you see people “cooking” dope in movies, #3 afghan heroin has to be cooked with some type of citric acid to be injectable, it’s why most people in Europe smoke it off foil. #4 Mexican heroin is already processed that further step and can be mixed into water and injected without cooking. I’ve done powdered heroin in probably ten states around the Midwest/south/east coast and never had to cook it, always could mix it in a Gatorade cap or overturned soda can or the bucket of the needle, pull it through cotton and it’s ready… so my theory is that someone knew a flood of #3 afgan heroin in American markets would point to clear trafficking from a country we were occupying and that they were smart enough to either process it further in Afghanistan, or fly it to Mexico and process it there and traffic it in from Mexico further obfuscating where it was grown… it’s also worth stating that as someone who works in harm reduction currently I do not know of a single American market that has heroin on the street (powdered heroin that is. I think there is still some Mexican tar dope out west). As far as I can tell all heroin in America currently comes from boutique dark web shipments. The street now is entirely very powerful synthetic opiate analogs that are far more dangerous. They also lack the euphoria that came from heroin. It doesn’t even really feel good. It’s just super strong and doesn’t last long. If you have a habit, where heroin could last 8-12 hours before the onset of withdrawal, this stuff is 2-3. You basically do a dose, the first hour you are so fucked up you’re in danger and unconscious, and when you wake up you’re already starting to get sick. But, in my city, a vial of the shit costs $3, so you’re never far from your next dose. What a fucking nightmare. Every step of this “crisis” has been mismanaged. Terrance from trillbillies has done some of the best reporting if this subject interests you. But it’s just remarkable and a perfect stand in of how liberalism can only make things worse. Have an oxycontin overprescribing problem, but for a drug that is easy to dose and safer than street drugs? Make it illegal and cause a heroin epidemic that increases death… have a heroin problem? Eradicate it entirely from your streets and replace it with essentially poison that increases death and disease further… this is what profit incentives do inevitably in every area of our society… but yeah, I’m pretty sure the difference in how heroin is processed from America/mxico and Europe/Afghanistan helped whoever was responsible for the heroin pipeline hide where it was coming from.. if you read all this, thanks, sorry, it feels way long and way all over the place…

My brother attended basic at Fort Bragg. Broke a leg in the first couple days during drill and was sent home honorable discharge. Thankful for that broken leg.

For all America's talk about heroism and service, It turns out training people to be efficient killers is, unsurprisingly, not very good for their psyche.

I love how Julien pops off and everyone is uncomfortable for a few seconds but then realizes they can't say he's wrong (which makes them even more uncomfortable).

Not my JSOC experience.

One of your best in a long while boys – and I say that as someone who loves every episode of this show.

Yo! This show…. Speechless

If anyone wants more on the crimes/good ole boy club/fall of the SEALs, Code Over Country by Matthew Cole is a PHENOMONAL listen/read. Also, Jack Murphy is a great reporter has covered and in some cases broke the stories on the SEAL murders of Green Berets and whatnot. Wild stuff.

I’ve never heard “teetotaller” pronounced like that before 😮

This book is a groundbreaking work of journalism. Got it Saturday. I'm on chapter 11 now. The writing is truly gripping. Well done! Much needed journalistic medicine for this sick, twisted country we live in.

If anyone wants to go down a related rabbit hole, check out The Politics of Heroin by Alfred W. McCoy.

Awesome show!

you have successfully sold me a book

Surprise Brad!

TrueAnon, Chapo, & QAA. I have now completed the Harpiverse. All that’s left is to read the book!

The US has done many terrible things but lately I get the feeling that this podcast is going Tankie. Russia and China are terrible and are terrible actors on the world stage. They too are the bad guys.

Okay, but the big question is did either of them pull a black lightsaber crystal??

I have been waiting months for this book and my library is taking entirely too long.

Aww audiobook isn't available in my country.

Read this book in a day and can’t wait to listen to this episode

You guys just sold me a book.

There's a huge misconception around "bath salts" I'm honestly surprised is still seemingly going strong enough even the pod peeps here are repeating it. The whole point of them even being called bath salts was cos it exploited a legal loophole to essentially sell a different MDMA-adjacent chemical without fear of prosecution, kind of like how weed paraphernalia often is labeled as ornamental or whatever, depending on local laws. They were never intended to be used in baths and I garuntee if anyone tried they would smell pretty fucking weird and unpleasant lmao - there's a good reason they were only sold in smoke shops and never, you know, soap shops? Tbh it was a pretty great time for the drug community being able to have a not-so-perfect cheaper MDMA alternative over the counter whenever anyone wanted. Unfortunately the laws caught up and the people who had the money to buy up the rest made sure the quality of any they sold after that just got worse and worse to the point where it ended up too much of a random minefield to bother with, at least for me and my friends at he time anyway. In fact it's only the news and the normies who ever used that labelling, everyone I knew referred to it as "CAT" - So that's that I guess. It was just a loophole label and an affordable good time lol!

I forgot I'd already pre-ordered the book, so I was thrilled when it arrived last week!

Been hyped about this book for months. Egg on my face for not preordering because it’s back ordered at all my local spots.

Great now I’m going to have to buy a book that’s going to get way too much unwanted attention when I read it on public transportation

It is the same everywhere. Men who can only work with men are DL about something, sexuality or addiction, and will bully the normal men out and get even worse. If you think about the workplaces that are majority men, you might start to see why society heads down the wrong direction

This was brutal to listen to so early in the morning. Also, crazy way to say teetotaler

No way, I just picked this dude's new Fort Bragg book up

🤘🏻c/o ‘05 Sad I didn’t get to read you in the Daily Texan. Or the Travesty.

3rd Seth Harp has hit my pod rotation!

Begging once more for a Eurovision ep…we had one on labubus and there are far fewer conspiracies with those! (Great ep tho)

Ooo Seth Harp on the same day as Chapo!

Did you guys time your Seth ep with Chapo? So much Harp in my feed today

Google billy lavigne. Dude looks like Clint Howard
