Researcher, filmmaker, and truth seeker Faust Checho returns to expose the CIA’s deep involvement in cocaine trafficking — and the explosive role that the Bush and Clinton families played in building a covert empire of drugs, power, and political corruption — in episode 196 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.

A relentless investigator of deep politics, drug trafficking, and elite criminal networks, Faust pulls back the curtain on covert CIA operations, Barry Seal’s smuggling empire, and how cocaine transformed from a back-alley narcotic into a multi-billion-dollar geopolitical weapon. This second installment of the Bush/Clinton series exposes how U.S. intelligence agencies enabled the rise of the Medellín Cartel while domestic figures like Bill Clinton offered protection at home — all while the media turned a blind eye.

In this episode, Faust traces the hidden pipeline of the War on Drugs — from Nazi war criminals in Bolivia to Norman’s Cay in the Bahamas, from Mena, Arkansas to the Rose Law Firm — revealing how political dynasties, drug lords, and covert agencies conspired to reshape American history. From Barry Seal and the Cocaine Coup to Iran-Contra, this is the real story behind the so-called war on drugs.

Topics include:

• How the CIA pivoted from heroin in Vietnam to cocaine in Latin America

• The Medellín Cartel’s rise, and why U.S. intelligence helped it thrive

• Cocaine’s origins in Bolivia and the role of Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie

• The 1980 Cocaine Coup and its ties to U.S. intelligence

• How Pablo Escobar industrialized cocaine into a global empire

• The key role of Norman’s Cay and airborne smuggling networks

• Barry Seal’s double life and covert links to the CIA and DEA

• The truth about Mena, Arkansas and Bill Clinton’s political protection

• The creation of ADFA and the Clinton family’s cocaine-fueled rise

• Don Tyson’s alleged ties to public corruption and trafficking

• The Rose Law Firm and the power players behind the Clinton machine

• Roger Clinton’s arrest as a loyalty test for Bill

• How covert operations funneled cash, drugs, and weapons through the U.S.

• The origins of the Iran-Contra scandal and the empire it exposed

• Why the media buried the truth — and who benefitted

… and much more. Get ready for a wild ride into America’s real underworld of power, profit, and betrayal.
