    Uncovering the Gazprom Link in the McGonigal Affair
    Mar 17 2023
    Former FBI senior agent-in-charge of counterintelligence at the New York Field Office, Charlie McGonigal, faces two indictments for his alleged ties to Oleg Deripaska and Albania's Prime Minister Edi Rama. The investigation into the McGonigal Affair has revealed a deep geopolitical shift into oligarch diplomacy. We explore the connection between former FBI agents Charlie McGonigal and Mark Rossini, their involvement with the Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, and their associates Shefqet Dizdari and Oleg Deripaska. Narativ's new analysis of documents by Shefteq Dizdari reveals that Gazprom was behind a scheme to steal three American-operated Albanian oil fields in 2017 Last month a tanker carrying sanctioned Russian oil was seized off the coast of Albania, leading some to speculate that McGonigal had set up a legal firm with Mark Rossini and local Albanian businessman Shefqet Dizdari to facilitate the smuggling of sanctioned Russian oil. Our guest Mark Crawford, Chairman Emeritus of the American Chamber of Commerce in Albania, will shed light on this matter for the first time.

    Exploring the Unlikely Alliance Between Roy Cohn, Rupert Murdoch, and Ronald Reagan, and The Origins of Fox News
    Mar 9 2023
    The story Rupert Murdoch doesn't want you to know about the beginnings of Fox News. My guest is Pulitzer award winner David L Marcus, Roy Cohn's cousin. This episode explores the unlikely alliance between Roy Cohn, Rupert Murdoch, and Ronald Reagan. We delve into how Rupert Murdoch gained traction in the media business in exchange for positive write-ups for Ronald Reagan in the New York Post. We explore Cohn's "Favor Bank" style of bartering, the close relationship between Ronald Reagan and Murdoch, and how this led to Murdoch getting sweetheart deals from Reagan's FCC. We then discuss the transaction-oriented politics of Murdoch and the role Wendy Deng and the Chinese market played in it. Roy Cohn was an unlikely ally of Rupert Murdoch. Cohen was a self-promoting political figure and the right-hand man to Senator Joe McCarthy of Wisconsin. Their Un-American activities committee aimed to fight communism. David L Marcus, Cohn's cousin, spent the last year of his life shadowing Cohn for a Vanity Fair article.   Episode Keywords: Roy Cohn, Rupert Murdoch, Ronald Reagan, Favor Bank, New York Post, Fox News, Libs, Wokeness, Deregulation, FCC, Alan and Company, Rothschilds, Israeli Intelligence, J.

Best political podcast out there

I was so frustrated with main stream news and desperate to hear authentic journalism when I found this podcast. Hands down best podcast around. Thorough, well researched and covering a wide variety of topics.
