Today on DANGER CLOSE: THE FOURTH OPTION, I’m joined by Gerald Posner. Gerald is an investigative journalist, attorney, Pulitzer Prize finalist, and the author of thirteen books including CASE CLOSED, WHY AMERICA SLEPT, GOD’S BANKERS, and PHARMA. In this episode, we get into the pharmaceutical industry, the opioid crisis, the Sackler family, the JFK assassination and the conspiracy industry that grew in its aftermath, and the duty to follow the evidence wherever it leads. We also discuss how secrecy, power, money, and institutional failure shape public trust, and what it takes to stay focused on the facts. This is a companion podcast to my new thriller, THE FOURTH OPTION, talking to those on the front lines, analyzing modern warfare, and taking listeners deeper into the themes that inspired the novel.
