The Fort Bragg Cartel: The Grift That Keeps On Grifting

In this episode, we dive deep into Seth Harp’s new exposé on what he calls the “Fort Bragg Cartel.”The book offers a sweeping, revisionist take on American history and the U.S. military’s involvement in the Middle East, with a particular focus on JSOC’s operations both at home and abroad. Harp paints a damning picture of systemic immorality among American GIs, using the murder of Will Lavgin, Leshikar, and Dumas as a narrative Trojan Horse to advance his central thesis: that the United States and its military are equally culpable in a broader cycle of violence and dysfunction.In the process, he concocts a sweeping conspiracy theory involving the U.S. government, the CIA, and JSOC—alleging their complicity in a secret drug trafficking pipeline from Afghanistan to the United States.
