See the complete episode by subscribing to American Exception on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/americanexception/membership Aaron discusses a pair of suppressed recent news articles from The Grayzone: "Historic US-Russia prisoner swap exposes CIA support for Chechen jihad" "Accused financier of Moise assassination apparently advised by US intelligence" Then goes into an (overly?) extended discussion of a new academic article that offers a critique of American Exception: Empire and the Deep State: 'Oedipus and the cabal: conspiracy theories and the decline of symbolic efficiency' NOTE: The 'I' in BRICS is for India. I likely said "Iran" because Iran is the BRICS member who, along with Russia and China, has done the most to defeat the pnac of late.
