Manuel Noriega

Manuel Noriega was the dictator of Panama between 1983 and 1989.

His right-hand man was Carlos Wick Green.

I got a call from Jose Goldner in Panama and said, hey, do you want to come down to Panama to live with Carlos Wick Green and to interview him about his time in the regime with Noriega?

When I came down to Panama, I also uncovered several hundred CIA, DEA, and DOJ documents that back up Carlos' story and tell the true narrative of what really happened with the rise, rule, and fall of Noriega and his relationship with the CIA and the United States.

I get a call from my buddy, Jack Moran, who lives down in Panama.

His business partner is this guy, Jose Goldner.

Jose is in his 50s and he sort of grew up in like a diplomat family.

So would you be interested in speaking to Jose about this book sort of surrounding Noriega and Iran-Contra?

And I said,

Yeah, dude, I was living.

He had access to the people that... Okay.

So he had access to all of these people that have never spoken before, right?

Because people are very tight-lipped.

And so I get on the phone with this guy.

I'm in the pool house in Los Angeles.

This is the story.

This is the guy.

His name is Carlos Wickery and he was Noriega's right-hand man.

Would you be interested in coming down to Panama to meet him?

And then if he likes you to write his book.
