The Secret Government: The Constitution in Crisis, By Bill Moyers/VIDEO
Excellent background on the National Security State ruse.

The Secret Government: The Constitution in Crisis
By Bill Moyers


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.

Host Bill Moyers exposes the inner workings of the secret government. Though originally broadcast in 1987, it is even more relevant today. Interviews with respected, top military, intelligence, and government insiders reveal both the history and secret objectives.

8. For Christmas Santa gave me "Moyers on America: A Journalist and His Times "
Edited on Thu Jan-10-08 09:14 AM by RedEarth
It's an outstanding book by one of the few journalists left in our country.



...description from Amazon........

Product Description
During the fifty years he has been variously a reporter, a political spokesperson, and a broadcaster, Bill Moyers has demonstrated a deep commitment to understanding the workings of our government and the role of the individual in society. His essays and commentaries, such as the recent “Shivers Down the Spine,” “A Time for Anger,” and “Journalism Under Fire,” are argued over and passed along as soon as they appear in print or on the Internet. Identifying what he sees as a political system increasingly at the mercy of a corporate ruling class, he urges a reengagement with the spirit of community that makes the work of democracy possible. Not only a trenchant critique of what is wrong, Moyers on America is also a call to arms for the progressive promise of the people of America, in whom his faith is strong.
