[#20] FedExamining the Spook History of FedEx w/ Dr. Diocletian Blobb

The venerable Dr. Diocletian Blobb joins TGSP to discuss the hidden history of Federal Express, the shipping giant with odd ties and compelling open secrets

As Dr. Blobb states: This is the story of an American business dynasty, rife with crime, murder, and deception. From the banks of Mississippi to the shadowy halls of the Skull & Bones Tomb, Fred Smith was one of America’s most important and well-connected entrepreneurs. On its face, FedEx appears to be another success story in the mythology of the American Dream, but upon closer inspection, the company and its founder were propelled by forces much more powerful and secretive than any one person. FedEx helped move America into the new millennium, bringing with it the technologies and agendas of the imperialist powers that be.
