Iran/Contra Revisted

Posted By: on September 12, 2008 Documentary on the American Secret Government driving U.S. Foreign Policy. The US sold missiles to Iran, bought guns with the profits and then sent the guns to Central America to support a terror war against peasants in the countryside there and shipped the payments back to U.S. inter cities in the form of cocaine to generate more profits Narrated by Bill Moyers. The US sold missiles to Iran, bought guns with the profits and then sent the guns to Central America to support a terror war against peasants in the countryside there. The guns were paid for with cocaine processed by the so-called Contra which was then shipped to the US and sold wholesale to a criminal organization based in Los Angeles that was largely responsible for spreading crack cocaine throughout the nation in the 1980s. When Bush Jr. took office in 2000, dozens of Iran-Contra operatives came out of the woodwork to join his administration. Fox News gave one of the chief ring leaders, Oliver North, his own TV show. (The head of Fox News is Roger Ailes, the former campaign manager for George Bush Sr's presidential campaign. ) During the Iran-Contra operation Ronadl Reagan was nominally the president of the United States. In reality, vice president George Bush, Sr - director of the CIA less than ten years before - ran the show. Amazingly, Bush Sr. completely insulated himself from any personal consequences regarding Iran-Contra. Like a good mafia don, he had layers and layers of loyal "button men" willing to shut up and take the fall for him. His good friend Bill Clinton, who by many accounts protected the gun export and cocaine importation leg of this trade as it was conducted out of Mena, Arkansas, ran against Bush for president in 1992, won, and promptly discontinued all further investigation into the Iran-Contra affair. If you want to take this a little deeper, the folks who were incinerated at Waco by Clinton and Janet Reno very early in Clinton's presidency, had a thriving business converting semi-automatic rifles to automatic ones. It's never been made clear who the customers for these weapons were, but if you look at a map, Waco, Texas is not that far from Mena, Arkansas. Bill Clinton's representatives in the ATF office in Little Rock started feverishly developing their case against the Waco "cult" immediately after Clinton's election in November of 1992. Yeah, it's complicated. It's a shame these guys have so much energy and initiative because they do manage to get a lot done.
