Phenomenal, Must See Interview: Sidebar with Investigative Journalist Mark Groubert – Viva & Barnes

Kaleidoscopic and phenomenal range of arcane topics covered in this cultural and political potpourri with Mark Groubert. Mark Groubert as “a character” would be an understatement.

Investigative journalist, documentary film-maker, expertise on addiction, recovery, and Hollywood storytelling, Mark Groubert, of Bard college (where Albert Jay Nock attended decades previously), the New School (founded after a major scandal/shakeup during the period surrounding WWI by historian Charles Beard and other prominent leftist/progressives), and NYU Film School, with a career path across America’s occupational and geographic landscape, as a roofer, a salesman, a deli clerk, a ditch digger, a truck driver, a factory worker, a house painter and a sea scout, and then a poet, a performance artist, a blues musician, a film actor, a comedian, a promoter, a publisher, and a film director…and in between, a screenwriter, a producer, an investigative reporter, an undercover whistleblower, a tabloid editor, and a successful plaintiff in a suit against the CIA, and won. Topics traverse the universe, from UFO sightings to the politics of Hollywood, from CIA conspiracies to working with Oliver Stone on Oswald, from exposing the RFK assassin to escaping the Moonies.
