“Skyggemyndigheter”, Iran-Contra, kokain og en grunnlov i krise - en dokumentarfilm av Bill Moyers

Svært interessant dokumentar av Bill Moyers fra 1987, fremdeles like dagsaktuell. En gjennomgang av filmens innhold finnes i Samm Simpsons korte artikkel Liars - Then and Now på Muckraker Report.

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. 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. We have the PATRIOT act which has stripped us of many of our basic civil rights justified by the terror of 9/11 which is their own doing.

The Secret Government: The Constitution in Crisis, by Bill Moyers:

What hasn’t changed in 25 years

George Bush Sr. operated a secret government while a senile Ronald Reagan dozed and coasted on his Hollywood presentation skills.

Yet when the Iran-Contra scandal broke, Reagan and others took the heat, while George Sr. remained safely in the shadows.

Shameless, contemptuous of the law, and masterful liars…many of the members of the Bush Sr. support term manage things today behind the scenes for Junior. - Brasscheck TV
