Jack Wheeler is one of the more interesting and historically pivotal characters in America. I had the honor to interview him and follow his journey from child adventurer to Reagan Doctrine shaper. He and his sons are still running tours of remote places. linkedin.com/pulse/route-an…
If you get the chance rummage around his past and read up on how a kid who climbed the Matterhorn shaped a Reagans' thinking on covert wars in Africa, Asia and other regions. Not that I agree with the Reagan doctrine, but it is very reminiscent of Trump. washingtonpost.com/archive/lifest…
Wheeler was part of a 6 month journey to explore the sentiments of global rebel groups face to face, many of them leftist or Marxist and then Paul Manafort was tasked with changing Savimbi a Chicom socialist murderer into a right wing freedom fighter. nytimes.com/1986/02/07/us/…
Before there Bannon, there was Jack Abramoff who with Jack Wheeler created the Jamboree in Jamba and made Red Scorpion with Dolph Lundgren, a movie about the muj in Afghanistan while the war was still being fought. motherjones.com/politics/2005/…
