Bill Moyers was into "Shadow/Secret Govt." before Most DU'ers!

[KoKo]

If you want to do :tinfoilhat: and figure that a MAINSTREAM MEDIA GUY like Moyers would do a Documentary on THIS...then going WAY back...it's kind of AMAZING! :shrug:

1. Bill Moyers - a curious mind and not afraid of where it might lead him. nt

2. Thanks for the link KoKo01! Evryone should see this video

I'll help keep it recommended for the rest of the weekend.

9. thanks...I'm sort of dragging family to watch this...and I'm being

pretty "strong armed" about it. Might not have and "Friends & Family" left after this..but it's just incredible how LONG all that BUSH/CHENEY have done has BEEN KNOWN! And, Bill Moyers is hardly some kind of Wayne Madsen and YET..even HE couldn't get folks to WAKE UP and LISTEN!

Who knows...I guess it just takes "time" to reach folks...even if it's DECADES. :-(

[KoKo]

10. I know...and thanks for the effort

the more that see this...the more awakenings we can hope for....HOPE!

3. It's very interesting...

and it's the absolute truth.

Absolutely wonderful demonstration of the failures of our friends who believe they can destroy our most sacred principles in order to save them. (In other words, overthrow a democratically elected government to protect it's people and the US from "totalitarianism". Take away our civil liberties in order to save them. Have a few people make decisions in secret in order to protect the openness of our democracy.)

5. Just want to add that if you watch the footage of Reagan, you'll find striking similarities to GWB.

I wonder if instead of some random "cowboy," Dubya is imitating Reagan.

[KoKo]

6. I know ...I pushed this on a friend of mine who couldn't believe

the "creepy" similarities to TODAY...and she voted for REAGAN...OY!

11. The lying television addresses after the public learns new information about the war...

-Congress cutting off funds for the Contras, Reagan refusing to give up, finding "alternate" means to continue funding a war.

-Press conference with Reagan and a phony, U.S.-installed Contra leader

-White House cabal consisting of the President, CIA director, and National Security Advisors (McFarland and Poindexter and their aide Col. North) to control Iran-Contra policy

-The "Enterprise" organization

There are many parallels here.

"They were willing to literally put the Constitution at risk because they believed somehow that there was a higher order of things; that the ends do sometimes justify the means..." - Senator John Kerry (on Iran-Contra)

4. Great find! Bill Moyers is a true patriot! n/t

12. Know your BFEE: The Secret Government

Bill Moyers taught me something...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=5027094

...but I've been on to them since I was old enough to know what November 22, 1963 meant for our nation.

13. Edwin Firmage (on American intervention in Iran):

"You create a nation who hates you enormously, who views you as a devil... an evil force. You create in that state sufficient forces of unrest that you don't have stability and those chickens come home to roost. You end up with a violation of the Constitution, and a hatred that is propagated today until you have embassies taken, hostages held, hatred engendered... hatred simply doesn't come to rest."

17. Ohhh My Gods and Goddess

I remember this when it was originally broadcast. As a matter of fact we produce a video that is an hour long and features music by The Invisible College, and is a mish-mash of enlightentainment. "The Open Eye * A Psychotronic Variety Show* Volume 1 Forbidden Territories, featuring the world's premiere preview of The Secret Dairies of the Ascended Master *H*: One Pookah's Journey from Myth to Metafiction. Probably the first trance-channeled cartoon" and we used some of the footage from the report. Of course we altered the footage both video and audio wise as to avoid copyrights, but we never sold any of the copies so I guess it wouldn't matter anyway. We only made a few copies. Which we have a few left and hoping to remix and correct some blemishes in post production. The cartoon mentioned above won a couple of awards back in the day.

Thanks for posting this. I know there are quite a few DUers who may have been born around the time that Iran Contra happened. It is therefore imperative we teach them about the inner workings of our government. And how the same people keep showing up over and over again throughout our recent history.

One last comment about this topic. I have been trying to write a simple explanation of the players (the gangtas if you will) who they are and what role they have played within our government. I have a rough draft but still need to create profiles of the individuals.

Again thx for sharing KoKo01:hi:

Sorry about the rambling, but this made me want to share:blush:
