By its very nature, the intelligence community holds more sway over this country than we will probably ever know. This reality—which has played a key role in transforming the United States into a Failed State—has its origins in the Cold War and the establishment of the Central Intelligence Agency in 1947. Norman Mailer was one of the most insightful chroniclers of Cold War America, and in this episode I talk to two people who knew him personally and saw him in action as he reckoned with the realities of the CIA and that seminal event in conspiracy culture, the assassination of President Kennedy on November 22, 1963.

Leo Ryan, the Jonestown Agricultural Project, the autopsies, the "kool-aid," and so much more.For our free archives, go to MidnightWriterNews.com or subscribe for free on iTunes, the iPhone podcast app, or many other podcast providers.
