A wide-open conversation with David Whitehead on Iran’s hidden history: Persia vs. modern ideologies, underground cities and mythic “giants,” ancient feuds that still script today’s conflicts, strange alliances, China/fentanyl influence, and the illusion of choice in global power.
Topics: Iran’s erased/rewritten history; symbolic/ritual value of the region; underground networks (Turkey–Iran–Levant); giants lore & megalithic puzzles; sectarian feuds across the Abrahamic world; manipulation of consciousness; fentanyl/China irregular warfare; controlled consent vs. free will; courage and sovereignty.
