788 - The AMIA Mystery feat. @iwrite4jacobin (12/4/23)
Felix is joined by Stef aka @iwrite4jacobin to discuss his investigation into Argentina’s AMIA bombing. The 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires has generated much speculation as to who the perpetrators actually were, accusations of irregularities in the investigation, suspicions of cover-ups, connections with intelligence agencies, and the probable suicide of a prosecutor related to the case. Stef takes us through the whole story and its implications for relationships between America, Israel, Iran and Argentina.

Every time I hear Stef refer to SIDE, I hear SIDA, which is the Spanish acronym for AIDS. If you apply that rubric to his investigation information, it becomes inadvertently funny. It turns out that AIDS, Kirschner, and Hezbollah are quite intertwined in Argentine politics and intelligence intrigue! Also, as a Spanish speaking Mexican, every time I hear the Castilian style Spanish lisp it makes my brain hurt and makes me want to punch a Spaniard/Argentine.
Interesting topic that I knew nothing about but I am confused bc the guest said the attack “was probably not a false flag” but then subsequently said the attack was “likely carried out by right wing elements within the Argentinian govt”.
I think he just meant it wasn't conducted by Israel, or a Zionist outfit.
Loving this double felix hosted feature. Nice
Really interesting. I like Felix doing a deep-dive reporting episode.
This was just an excuse for Felix to stealth brag about his combat sports training at the beginning lol
Double dose of solo Felix. The wolves have been blessed.
Wasn’t feeling the vegetables before listening (piggy wants his slop and good Matt news), but really loved the guest and discussion. Thanks for doing this one!
While having trouble to follow since this is all new to me, this sounds like a Coen Brothers movie.
Amazing Ep, very interesting stuff
I'll give him a shot, but tbh I've been skeptical of this guy since he shit on Aberration
those two episodes whipped, thanks felix!
Fantastic work here. More like this please.
Best guest voice followed by worst - yin and yang
Guess Ryder vans weren’t available unlike WTC 1993 and OKC
This episode passes the Bechdel Test for the exact lisp that Felix has
Anyone else feel like we got two episodes at once so that the free episodes will go back to being even and the Patreon eps will go back to odd, so producer Chris will finally be satisfied with the continuity restored?
Where did you get that impression? From the description of the episode immediately before this one?
Argentina mentioned 🇦🇷⭐️⭐️⭐️🇦🇷
Damn this was boring as hell💯💯☠️
I think it's a really interesting topic but it's a bit hard to follow because the guest has the emotive range of fencepost.
Felix still has to learn the art of the leading question. Will’s better at this
Still good interviews though
This lisp-off is an ESPN Instant Classic.
Two episodes just because he didn’t watch Napoleon
Where is Ben Nortiña?
Loved this one. Thank you
Felix, I love this shit, and your other one, if you wanna do more it will be listened to.
So the rub is it was probably antisemitic elements in Argentine security services, yeah?
Felix back with a Jena + Auerstedt kinda Monday
Double Felix!
Wow. More Felixcasts please. This is great.
Poor in film, rich in podcasts 🙏🏼
