Summary
Greetings, Comrades!
Posting this episode just a few hours before flying back home to Latvia. In this episode, me and Stephen from the glorious and highly recommended Baked and Awake podcast (http://bakedandawake.com/) discuss a peculiar released CIA document from 1957, called "National Cultural Development Under Communism" which you can find here: https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/document/cia-rdp78-02771r000200090002-6
First part of the show is me, reading the document - which is also available in full in Baked and Awake youtube channel as a separate entity, as we couldn't find it in a read/presented form anywhere online. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5um-HkhZ9q4 The second part is our analysis of it, including some conspiratorial stuff and shenanigans. Stephen's been a great host and I've been staying with him in Seattle for the past few days, and his weed is great but his show's even better, so do give him a listen. And I sincerely hope you'll like this episode.
Enjoy!
