1298: The Palmist
Ezra Cohen-Watnick, Special Operations and JFK Memorandum 57
Ezra Cohen-Watnick was recently elevated to oversee Special Operations, reporting directly to the Secretary of Defense. This move reportedly enacts JFK’s Presidential Memorandum 57, which sought to strip the CIA of its paramilitary and covert war capabilities. The hosts suggest this restructuring is a "fourth act" move by Trump to consolidate military power away from the intelligence agencies.
