44 - CASINO 4: Shotgun Safari - BCCI, the Safari Club and the Second CIA
Added 2022-05-08 04:32:13 +0000 UTCWe have reached the midpoint of our CASINO series, friends and neighbours. Tonight we look at some other aspects of George HW Bush's time as CIA Director, the moment when he became the Godfather of the Amerikan Deep State. We look at the privatization of US intelligence, cocaine trafficking, Adnan Khashoggi and the development of Safari Club, and setting up the dark money networks with BCCI. This one has a little bit of everything, folks.

There's a whole Pine Gap/Nugan Hand Bank/Whitlam dismissal nexus to look at. There's the involvement of the palace (confirmed in Prof Hocking's book The Palace Letters). Also the Chile coup/Australian secret services thread, and how those comical ASIO guys cover for something darker and yes, how it was all brought back 'in hand'. I could go on. I've already gone on. I'll stop.
