#138 - Geoffrey Gilson

Author: Grimerica October 10, 2015 Duration: 1:45:56
Interview starts 23:15 
 
Geoffrey Gilson author of Maggie's Hammer: How investigating the mysterious death of my friend uncovered a netherworld of illegal arms deals, political slush funds, high-level corruption and Britain's thirty-year secret role as America's hired gun isn't just a British story or an American story – this is an international thriller, all the more jaw-dropping because it's not a James Bond movie. It actually happened.
 
We have a fun chat with Geoffrey about his story over the last couple of decades. We chat about the perpetual possibility of war and the arms race. Also, we get into the drug connection, Occupy, the age of the internet, and the difference between the UK and USA. Should we just design a life to leave the rich alone....? Interesting concept.
 
 
 
In the intro Adam L joins us from FLA. A friend of the show, new blogger and recent Grimerican, we catch up with Adam about honest conversations on podcasts and shooting bigfoot. Thanks for joining us Adam.

The Grimerica Show is a long-form conversation series hosted by Darren and Graham that operates without a map, preferring to follow curiosity down whatever rabbit hole seems most compelling. This podcast exists in a space where documentary meets late-night talk radio, built on the idea that the most interesting perspectives are often found outside the mainstream. Episodes feature deep, casual dialogues with independent researchers, authors, and thinkers typically exploring the edges of accepted narratives. You’ll hear discussions that weave together spirituality, alternative interpretations of history, and the enduring mystery of UFOs, alongside examinations of consciousness, forgotten cultures, and societal structures. The approach is intentionally unscripted and open-ended, allowing guests to present complex or unconventional ideas without the constraints of a traditional editorial filter. The tone is more like a gathering of friends than a formal interview, resulting in a free-flowing exchange that can be both challenging and entertaining. For listeners tired of pre-packaged conclusions, The Grimerica Show offers a platform for speculative dialogue and raw inquiry. It’s built for anyone who prefers questions over answers and enjoys hearing a conversation unfold organically, with all its tangents and revelations intact. This is independent media driven by genuine interest, creating a consistently unpredictable listening experience.
