Secret Government: The Constitution In Crisis (FULL) Bill Moyers 1987 (Iran/Contra)

This is an in depth look at the dirty wars by the CIA. The video includes the Iran Contra scandal with testimony by Oliver North who admitted of lying to congress about selling weapons to Iran to give guns to the Nicaraguan Contras.

For those that want a better understanding of the history of lies and deceit by the CIA run shadow government this is a great documentary to watch.

As we once again rattle the sabers for war against Iran please take the time to understand the history of our involvement by the CIA in their country:



Description of the documentary from the You Tube page:

This is the full length 90 min. version of Bill Moyer's 1987 scathing critique of the criminal subterfuge carried out by the Executive Branch of the United States Government to carry out operations which are clearly contrary to the wishes and values of the American people. *** WITH SOUND! Only a small piece (about 1 1/2 minute) is without sound, for a copyrighted bit of music. Full sound resumes at 3:20 ***

The ability to exercise this power with impunity is facilitated by the National Security Act of 1947. The thrust of the exposé is the Iran-Contra arms and drug-running operations which flooded the streets of our nation with crack cocaine. The significance of the documentary is probably greater today in 2007 than it was when it was made. We now have a situation in which these same forces have committed the most egregious terrorist attack on US soil and have declared a fraudulent so-called "War on Terror". The ruling regime in the US who have conducted the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, are now banging the war drum against Iran.
