American Exception

Luke Peterson, a PhD in Middle Eastern Studies and author, explores how print media has shaped U.S. militarism. He traces media-driven wars from the Spanish‑American War through Vietnam and the Gulf War. Conversation covers propaganda, cultural rituals that valorize the military, Pentagon influence on Hollywood, and economic interests behind perpetual rearmament.

Tonery Rogers, researcher of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International, traces BCCI's ties to Iran‑Contra, Southern Air Transport, and the Epstein web. She outlines covert financing, shadow logistics, and how networks were reconstituted around new power centers. The conversation also explores alleged links between intelligence, private airlines, and geopolitical money flows.

Jeffrey Sachs is the Director of The Earth Institute, Quetelet Professor of Sustainable Development, and Professor of Health Policy and Management at Columbia University, and a Research Associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research.
