The Secret Government: Constitution in Crisis (1987) is a PBS documentary that covers the Iran Contra Scandal of 1987. The Iran-Contra Affair was a political scandal occurring in 1987 as a result of earlier events during the Reagan administration in which members of the executive branch sold weapons to Iran, and illegally used the proceeds to continue funding anti-Sandinista rebels, the Contras, in Nicaragua. One of the business men who helped fund the scandal was Joseph Coors from the Coors Beer fortune.

Other shady operations covered in this video:

• The US enlisted Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie “The Butcher of Lyon” and then helped him flee to Bolivia.
• The US backed coup take over in Iran of 1953 that took elected official Mohamed Mossadeq out of power and installed the Shaw in Iran. Mossadeq had planned to kick out British Petroleum and nationalize the countries oil fields.
• The 1954 coup in Guatemala to over throw Jacobo Arbenz Guzman. Arbenz nationalized the land in the country and gave it to the poor. Much of the land was held by the United Fruit Company.
• Cuba 1961 Bay of Pigs US Invasion, an attempt to overthrow Fidel Castro.
• The Vietnam War of 1968 originally started as US covert operation and support for a puppet leader Ngo Dinh Diem. The Gulf of Tonkin Incident was provoked as an excuse to go into battle. Ralph MacGehee was there for the CIA and helped setup the South Vietnam Secret Police.
• Oliver North was involved with CIA drug smuggling to fund The Iran-Contra Affair.

More from PBS on the secrecy of the US Government pbs.org/now I am not associated with PBS, but personally I believe the work Bill Moyers does is essential to US Democracy. Please consider making a donation as I have so Bill Moyers can keep up the good work http://www.pbs.org/now/pledge.html This would be a great video to request for at public libraries, give as a gift to state delegates for you local precinct, and to show to friends and family, but I have not been able to find it on DVD. Perhaps if there is enough public support PBS will consider making the DVD available to the public again.

I don’t want to copy the video and detract from PBS, so please visit Bill Moyers Journal to watch this frightening and fascinating video.

John Hagee is an Evangelical Christian who is against Palestinian peace talks and wants the US to strike Iran.

JOHN HAGEE:

The head of the beast of radical Islam in the Middle East is Iran and its fanatical president Ahmadinejad. Ladies and gentlemen, we are reliving history. It is 1938 all over again. Iran is Germany. Ahmadinejad is Hitler. And Ahmadinejad, just like Hitler, is talking about killing the Jews.

Instead of trying to prevent a holocaust, the man is trying to create one.

This video also points out John Hagee has endorsed John McCain, and John McCain has happily accepted his endorsement.

The PBS documentary Buying The War hosted by Bill Moyer, is an excellent documentary on the controlled media.

We can’t expect the mainstream media to be critical of it’s self, but luckily we have Bill Moyer to do it for us.

Bill Moyer interviews people like Bob Simon who had been stationed in Iraq and walked the streets of Baghdad.

Mr. Moyer also interviews the authors of a variety of books on the news coverage leading up to the Iraq war:

• James Bamford author of A Pretext for War
• Michael Massing author of Now They Tell US
• Norman Solomon author of War Made Easy
• Eric Boehlert author of Lapdog

There are a couple of interesting connections to make from this film.

One, is William (Bill) Kristol is mentioned as being one of the political pundits who convinced the American People there was a connection between the Iraq, Saddam Hussein and 911. William Kristol is the chairman of Project for the New American Century.

Two, is Michael Gerson was Bush’s speech writer who helped convince the American people there was a connection between Iraq, Saddam Hussein and 911. Michael Gerson left his position as a speech writer for Bush to write for the Washington Post. At the time WP was laying off journalists. All you have to do is Google Michael Gerson to see he is indeed writes for the Washington Post and he is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, AKA CFR.

Rather than take my word for it, watch Buying The War and judge for yourself.

I would like to make the suggestion that if you watch the video on PBS’ web site, and find it important, consider making a donation as I have. Bill Moyer won’t be able to continue his work, if we don’t support him.

If you don’t think you agree with Mr. Moyer, at least watch the video before forming an opinion. You can’t credibly dispute an issue (although many people try) unless you have actually examined the material so you know what you’re disputing.
