Professor Peter Dale Scott rejoins us to continue reading from his poem “A Ballad of Drugs and 9/11.” This poem was published in Flashpoints and it followed on the heels of Peter’s 2005 Lobster magazine article, “The Global Drug Meta-Group: Drugs, Managed Violence, and the Russian 9/11.”
In this installment, we cover some fascinating passages of the poem—Peter’s relationships with Allan Francovich and Danny Casolaro at the respective ends of their lives. E also delve into the mysteries of the Doomsday Project, aka Continuity of Government or COG.
This is the 22nd installment of our oral history series with the prolific poet, historian, and political theorist who gave us parapolitics as well as the deep politics approach.
Special thanks to Dana Chavarria for the sound engineering!
