MKULTRA: THE BLACK BOX (AE266)

  Max Arvo continues his interview series with Aaron about the Zionist-led neocon takeover of the US foreign policy apex through the lens of the Syndicate, the Octopus, and the Gray Alliance. This episode picks up after Part 3 which dealt largely with the deep politics of the Iran-contra era. The discussion covers the Zionist neocon “Clean Break” era from the mid-1990’s to the disastrous Trump/Biden period. Aaron and Max are adapting these discussions for two articles in Piers Robinson’s Journal of 9/11 Studies. Follow and support Max Arvo on Substack!

In this episode—Part 4 of The Syndicate, the Octopus, and the Gray Alliance—we look at how the Iran-Contra scandal was part of a bigger Zionist neoconservative deep state campaign to derail the Reagan and Bush-led efforts to impose a Palestinian state on Israel. The neocons’ campaign included much more than the weaponization of the Iran-Contra scandal. Its climax was the indictment of Caspar Weinberger on the eve of the 1992 election, an event which many observers credited for costing George H.W. Bush his re-election bid. This series expands on my 2025 presentation from the 9/11 Turning the Tide conference. The working plan is for the series to eventually be transcribed and edited for a journal article.
