Summary
Yesterday I had Colonel Towner-Watkins on for part 12 of the CIA Files. This week we covered Indonesia, the CIA’s efforts to push out President Sukarno, and how it ties together with the Ertsberg and Grasberg mines in Indonesia. If you’re interested in some of the different tactics they used to push out Sukarno, or how it ties in with a major mine that is still in operation today, you will enjoy this one. I have also included a link to a video with some background on the Grasberg mine for anyone that wants to learn the history. You can find the Colonel on Twitter , Rumble , YouTube , and Substack.
