In The Fort Bragg Cartel: Drug Trafficking and Murder in the Special Forces, author Seth Harp takes readers on a grim and shocking journey from the December 2020 double murder of Master Sergeant William “Billy” Lavigne and Chief Warrant Officer Timothy Dumas, whose bodies were discovered in a secluded corner of the sprawling base, into the dark underbelly of lawlessness, impunity, drug trafficking and violence at the heart of the most elite and secretive wing of the US military establishment. In this conversation we talk about how the brutal reality of the War on Terror assassination program manifested domestically, the way the US government is deeply implicated in the global narcotics trade and also uses it to justify mass imprisonment at home and violent military invasions abroad, how accusations of “conspiracy” can often cover up or obscure the very real and nefarious activities of the national security establishment and much more.
