#139b - DEMON FORCES 4, Part Two: KILLING DOE
🕑 Added 2023-03-04 01:28:21 +0000 UTCDimitri conducts a forensic examination of the Masterminds, the Coincidences, the Puzzles, the Intrigues, and the Deceits surrounding the assassination of Liberian President Samuel Doe on 9/9/90, including:
The US-Chad connection, Bill Casey bloodying Qaddafi’s nose in the Auzou Strip, Chet Crocker and Jim Bishop running guns to Hissene Habré, the 1987 Toyota War, Stingers and TOWs, US-French cooperation and Jean-Christophe “Papamadit” Mitterand…
Taylor allies Moses Duopu and Elmer Johnson killing Sankara, drama in the NPFL leadership, Prince Johnson’s daring commando raid on Gbutuo, Taylor being a SCARY man who depended on LIARS, forming the breakaway INPFL, the mysterious murders of Duopu, Elmer Johnson, Cooper Teah, and Jackson F. Doe inside NPFL territory, Bush’s White House ordering Herman Cohen to not fly Doe into exile, and the emergence of ECOMOG…
Emmanuel Bowier’s futile efforts to convince Doe to leave, realizing The Heat Is On, the secret Israeli code, Doe screaming at Bowier that he’s “gonna die killing white people” if US Marines land onshore, Bowier’s perilous escape from Monrovia on Gus Kouwenhoven’s plane…
Herman Cohen’s surreal meetings with Prince Johnson and Charles Taylor in August, Bob Gates’ “disgusting” proposal to dump Liberian-American refugees in West African tent camps, ECOMOG’s arrival after which “some conspiracies took place”, the Prince Johnson-Doe truce, US military advisors skulking around outside the wire, and Doe’s fateful visit to ECOMOG headquarters on September 9th, 1990…
American novelist Denis Johnson’s haunting dispatch from the Prince Johnson compound after Doe’s death, watching The Video, tracking down the mysterious Sellie Thompson, William Glay’s treachery, Bowier’s numerological premonitions about the “bad days” of 9/9/89 and 9/9/90, and the staggering dracularity of President George Bush’s “new world order” address to Congress on 9/11/90 - just one day after Samuel Doe’s violent death.

What’s the name of the “who’s that guy with the red pick up” song?

One thing is the uniquely deep historical relationship between the US and Liberia, but you’ll start to see, in Demon Forces V and beyond, why I became so obsessed with this period of Liberian history, and how it interlocks with many things discussed on SJ. There are far-reaching parapolitical undercurrents to the conflict that spin off in a hundred different mindbending directions. Part of the reason I’ve been so exhaustive covering Liberian history pre-1990 is so that when we get to the truly noided shit, you and I both are in a position to make better sense of it. imjustgonleavitatthat

Yeah seconding this, as someone in Britain the sheer amount of censorship and propaganda about the IRA in the 80s and early 90s is so obfuscating, like they play the same 70s clips of them with shite guns and yet if you do some calculations on a fag packet there's enough Kalashnikovs in Ireland to equip a full size army.

Awesome episode and series. What interested you in this event as opposed to the many many US- Africa coup events?
Matt
Great work as always. I know you lightly touched on it here, but I’d love to hear you do a dive on IRA/Gaddafi connection at some point. I’ve always found something a bit odd about the Troubles.

The $3.3 million was literally described as a “symbolic” payment lol
