The hosts discuss the absence of typical war narratives, such as the use of Captagon or Viagra, in the current conflict. They revisit the history of the Gaza Marine gas field, discovered by British Gas in 2000. The conversation touches on the technicalities of side-drilling and international law regarding resource extraction in disputed territories.
Reports indicate that Hamas militants may have been under the influence of Captagon, a powerful amphetamine known as "the poor man's cocaine," during the October 7 attacks. Former DEA official Jim Crotty explains that the drug strips users of humanity and encourages extreme risk-taking and atrocities.
Captagon Smuggling, ISIS, Saudi Arabia Drug Crisis
Captagon, a potent amphetamine, has become a major illicit export from Lebanon and Syria to the Gulf states, particularly Saudi Arabia. The drug was famously used by ISIS fighters to maintain energy and a sense of invincibility during combat. Reports indicate that up to 40% of young drug users in Saudi Arabia are addicted to the substance, which is easily produced and highly profitable for smugglers.
Captagon, Jihadi Adderall and Trey Gowdy
ISIS fighters reportedly use Captagon, a "run-of-the-mill" amphetamine described as "Jihadi Adderall," to maintain energy and aggression during combat. The hosts discuss the drug's composition and its similarity to the banned weight-loss drug Fen-Fen. They also critique a recent "rant" by Representative Trey Gowdy regarding the "premeditated depravity" of terrorists, questioning his effectiveness as a political figure.
Reports indicate that Syria has become a major hub for the production and consumption of Captagon, a synthetic stimulant used by fighters to maintain energy during battle. The hosts compare the drug to Adderall and reminisce about "Bennies" used by truck drivers in the 1960s.
