### Peter Kassig's Military Background in JSOC

- **Published:** 2014-11-20

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/671-white-house-moat/chapter/peter-kassig-s-military-background-in-jsoc.md

Research into Peter Kassig's military service shows he was a member of the 75th Ranger Regiment under the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC). The hosts suggest that his background as a "killing machine" under General Stanley McChrystal makes the official narrative of him as a simple aid worker highly questionable.

The *Frontline* documentary "Top Secret America," based on the work of Dana Priest, explores the massive expansion of the U.S. secret government post-9/11. The film details the friction between the CIA and the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), noting that JSOC often operates with less congressional oversight. Former CIA official Cofer Black is featured, discussing the "gloves coming off" in the war on terror.

### Vince Flynn, Memorial Day Novel Parallels

- **Episode:** [301: Code 33](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/301-code-33.md)
- **Published:** 2011-05-05
- **Time:** 1:16:04–1:18:17
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/301-code-33/chapter/vince-flynn-memorial-day-novel-parallels.md

Author Vince Flynn notes that the Bin Laden raid closely mirrors the opening chapters of his novel "Memorial Day." Flynn claims that former CIA Director Porter Goss and General Stanley McChrystal had read the book and were inspired by its depiction of a cross-border raid into Pakistan. The hosts suggest the military uses fiction as a "free consulting" playbook.

### JSOC and Murder Inc., Muslim Burial Tradition

- **Published:** 2011-05-05

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/301-code-33/chapter/jsoc-and-murder-inc-muslim-burial-tradition.md

The Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) is described as "Assassination Inc." by some critics, having flourished under General Stanley McChrystal. The hosts mock the official story of a "traditional Muslim burial" at sea, noting that Islam is a desert-based religion. They argue the decision not to use a Predator drone proves the mission was intended to recover intelligence.

Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh alleged in a recent speech that the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) operated as a private assassination wing reporting directly to Vice President Dick Cheney. Hersh claimed these operations occurred without legal authority and involved domestic activities against perceived enemies of the state. The hosts discuss the lack of mainstream follow-up on these significant allegations.
