"The Secret Government is an interlocking network of official functionaries, spies, mercenaries, ex-generals, proftieers and super-patriots who for a variety of motives operate the legitimate institutions of government."

The youtube link above is the 22-minute "quick edit" which you may have seen before. Below is the link to the full 1hr 26min programme, which has recently become available. It documents the full Iran-Contra scandal, the constitutional ramifications of what was done, and delves further into the history of the secret government

3. To the Greatest Page with you
I urge everyone to watch the full 90 minute broadcast, and share it with your children.

We are brought up on such mythological pablum about our country. It's time we looked at it with open eyes.

4. Just try to call it what it is - fascism - and you get rolling eyeball icons
and a trip to the 9-11 forum to hide your post.

5. Bill Moyers is one of the few remaining national journalists . . .
along with Keith Olbermann and a few others, who actually values the truth and has the integrity to report it . . . the remaining 95% are corporate media hacks and infotainment personalities whose primary focus seems to be parroting the propaganda spewed out by BushCo and their corporate sponsors . . . to them, the truth is a meaningless (and even harmful) construction that has no place in their insular "journalistic" universe . . .

6. Don't you hate Oliver North?
At the time I thought he was honorable because he is a military officer!!!!
And Reagan, what a LOSER! I cannot believe our nation was submitted to that kind of misbehavior.
And it still is! It is a wonder that we survive. We have possibly the most corrupt government figures in the history of the world. I can't imagine any others. They sell out the American people and our sensibilities for WAR! For WAR, people. For killing and money.

Goddess help us all.
