Joint Special Operations Command comes up in 3 chapters across 3 episodes of The Higherside Chats Free Show, from August 2019 to February 2021.
Mysterious Soldier Deaths at Fort Bragg and Super Soldiers
The conversation turns to a series of mysterious deaths and suicides among elite soldiers at Fort Bragg. Snyder speculates on whether these events are related to geopolitical shifts or more "sci-fi" explanations, such as the fallout from long-term "super soldier" programs or biological modifications dating back to Project Artichoke.
Private Military Contractors and the New Ruling Class
The discussion shifts to the rising power of private military contractors and special operators who have become a new power center in the 21st century. Recluse notes that this new ruling establishment often comes from a military background in conflict zones like Yemen and Somalia rather than the traditional Ivy League and banking pipeline.
2020 Election and Potential Intelligence Community Conflict
The Epstein investigation is expected to ramp up again as the 2020 election approaches, potentially targeting figures in the Democratic establishment. A more ominous possibility is discussed regarding a "civil war" within the intelligence community, drawing parallels to the 1960s French coup attempt against De Gaulle. The segment notes Trump's reported support from elements within the Joint Special Operations Command.
