It is imperative that the newer generation of LRC readers become cognizant of, and acquainted with, the chain of historical events which led up to today’s National Security State and the American empire. From Harry Truman to Donald Trump, we have seen an out-of-control executive branch wage unconstitutional, undeclared wars by centralizing power in the presidency. How did this all come about? Here are three exceptional documentaries which introduce that crucial history.
The first film is the 1987 PBS documentary, The Secret Government: The Constitution In Crisis, narrated by Bill Moyers.
It explores the comprehensive background of the secret covert government established in 1947 by the National Security Act. In particular, this powerful video compares and contrasts the Iran-Contra affair of the Reagan era with that of the Watergate scandal of 12 years earlier which brought down Richard Nixon.
The second documentary is the exceedingly rarely seen 1988 Coverup: Behind the Iran Contra Affair, narrated by Elizabeth Montgomery.
As you watch this extraordinary story unfold, you will see precisely why this incredible film has been shoved down the Orwellian Memory Hole for many decades. It discusses not only the hidden dimensions of the Iran-Contra affair but also the October Surprise scandal of 1980; CIA complicity in the global narcotics trade; CIA assassinations and covert activities; and FEMA, REX84, and the suspension of the U. S. Constitution.
The third film is Mike Benz’s exceptional, in-depth critical analysis of what the true, actual role of Jeffrey Epstein may have been, and his deep state predecessors in covert financial actions such as Iran-Contra, going back decades. The Epstein story may NOT be what you have been led to believe.
