Segment 1 on Women's World Football (soccer) didn't make for a smooth segue to the grave subject of Segment 2. Thank you for sourcing very welcome guest Canadian indie journalist Dawn Paley author of DRUG WAR CAPITALISM. Since there is no info on this program web page (I know Heather McCoy has to make the rent and KBOO is all volunteer journalism, so all is forgiven) here is a backgrounder from before the Age of Trump from TEXAS OBSERVER interview with Dawn Paley on the subject that involves every Washington administration going back even beyond Nixon's cynical WAR ON DRUGS program (mimicked by authoritarian and liberal states during the late 1960's to reroute the street protests against militarism and for civil rights as well noted by Ms McCoy and Paley early in this discussion that needs its own hour or more).

There was a brief prime time for digging into the Reagan\Bush backlash to the brief single term Carter Reform administration's cleaning house at the CIA vis a vis the Deep State's corporate proxy role for the Corporate Caliphate and Wall Street, especially in the struggles of many Central and South American nation\states to reform and address their own institutional corruption.

Our current corporate-captured U.S. News media excludes all the findings of the enterprising and courageous journalists of preceding administrations (bi-partisan policies vis a vis the largest U.S. intel base known in slang as THE USS HONDURAS) who not only risked their careers and salaries but often their lives reporting on the tangled webs that have de-stabilized these regions who now flood our southern border with people so desperate as to send unaccompanied or coyote\smuggler led children to seek safety and a future in the very country that has de-stabilized their own home lands.

Here is the Baltimore Sun series during the Clinton Neo-Liberal E-CON 2 terms that followed the 3 terms of Reagan\Bush with surprising Latin American Policy continuity. We should've been referencing this rare work in commercial U.S. newsprint business all through the "shocking revelations" of torture as policy after the 2002 Afghan invasion and 2003 Iraq invasion after 9-11-01 was funded and perpetrated by Islamists from Washington's closest allies in the Islamist World, the Saudi Arabian royal family.
