This is a investigative reporting by PBS's Bill Moyers
on the Iran Contra years. What news used to be like in the US. Many of the points made in the documentary have not gone away and have even grown.

The first part even has Jackson Brown singing 'Lives in the Balance' There are 9 parts this is part 1.

The 1987 PBS documentary The Secret Government: The Constitution In Crisis analyzes the threats to constitutional government posed by an illegitimate network of spies, profiteers, mercenaries, ex-generals and "superpatriots" who have tried, at various times, to take foreign policy into their own hands.

Based on the book by Bill Moyers:

1. The Secret Government
___________
The Secret Government: The Constitution in Crisis, by Bill Moyers


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


The full length 90 min. version: http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=3505348655137118430#

2. I saw it there first but had to give the YouTube link
but you are right the Google Video is the complete deal
without doing the 9 parts

I think this report will open eyes even though its old
because of what it reports.... and I think its even worse now

No wonder they got rid of Bill Moyers on PBS.


Thanks for the google link.

6.  Stop the Corporate Takeover of the Media
__________
Sen. Al Franken (D.-Minn.) told more than 2,000 bloggers and organizers attending the Netroots Nation conference in Las Vegas on July 24, 2010, that our media system is at risk everywhere we turn - from our free speech online to the growing power of companies who own a massive number of media outlets.
