Oil, Drugs, and Dirty Wars: Caravan To Midnight – Ep. 2661

December 18, 2025
 
Episode Description:
What if the drug war you’ve been sold isn’t really about drugs at all?
Tonight, veteran investigative journalist Bill Conroy joins John B Wells on Caravan to Midnight to expose a darker, more strategic reality — one where counternarcotics operations double as geopolitical leverage, economic warfare, and energy control.
Drawing from four decades of frontline reporting and his latest book, The Great Pretense, Conroy walks us through how “drug boats,” interdictions, and maritime pressure often mask deeper objectives involving oil, shipping lanes, and global power struggles. If fentanyl is flooding the U.S. through China and Mexico, why does Venezuela remain in the crosshairs? And who benefits when entire economies are squeezed under the banner of public safety?
This is a conversation about cartels and crude, enforcement and empire, and the recurring pattern where the drug war becomes a convenient cover for much larger games.
If you want to understand what’s really moving beneath the headlines — and why the official story never quite adds up — this is an episode you don’t want to miss. Hit play.
