819 - Poppy, Pt. 4: The White Rose feat. Michael S. Judge (3/28/24) (Patreon)

Michael Judge from the Death is Just Around The Corner podcast joins us to continue our series on the life and works of President George H.W. Bush. This installment focuses on Poppy’s work reorganizing the CIA, and how his implementation of decentralized systems, computerized indexing, and professionalized contractors spread influence through an endless series of intermediaries - an octopus with no head. All this leading to the scandal of scandals, Iran-Contra.
