SOBERANÍA 59: THE CIA’S MAN IN MEXICO
SUBSCRIBE TO SOBERANÍA VIA THE YOUTUBE CHANNEL
Sounds like a Graham Greene novel, but it’s real: Trump’s Green Beret/CIA ambassador has arrived to take up his post as US ambassador to Mexico. And his first day in the country was…interesting. Kurt and José Luis analyze the implications of such a dark figure pulling the levers in the new embassy building. And on the very day the ambassador arrived, Propublica reporter (and DEA frontman) Tim Golden was back with another piece of conveniently timed mercenary journalism. Our hosts also discuss the mysterious crash of the Mexican armada’s tall ship against the Brooklyn Bridge, which killed two cadets, and conclude with an extended losers and haters in which Simón Levy tries to piggyback on Golden’s tired game of innuendo with wild accusations of López Obrador being sued in US courts.
