On this day in 1985, the Red, White and Blue administration of Ronald Reagan illegally arranged for 96 anti-tank missiles to be sent to Iran.
What was Iran Contra?
For starters, it was high treason.
What happened?
The US illegally sold arms to Iran and then used the profits to illegally fund terrorists in Nicaragua in an attempt to undermine the government of that country.
And they traded guns for drugs too (though that part was left out of mainstream news reporting.)
The Arkansas branch of this criminal enterprise (Mena) put Bill Clinton on the map.
Note what fantastic and arrogant liars Oliver North and company are.
The short version:
It used to be a “conspiracy theory.”
During and after World War II, Nazis moved billions of dollars to South America where they set up shop in places like Brazil, Argentina and Chile.
Here’s what they did in Chile.
This group was empowered in the 1970s after the Nixon-Kissinger-CIA destruction of the Chilean democracy. Their leadership participated in the coup and may have been involved in murdering citizens.

Remember the London bombings of 7/7 in 2005?
Here’s the rest of the story the news media conveniently left out.
It seems to always boil down to the same thing: a credible whistle blower tells the truth and he loses his job.
Whistle blowers: the unsung heroes of our time.

May 2 is the anniversary of the reported killing of Osama bin Laden.
Seymour Hersh explains what total BS the official story is.
“All the official stories disintegrated.”
Brasscheck pointed this out the week that it happened, but it’s good to have confirmation from a veteran investigative reporter confirm our early analysis.
Lots of good background on how the US got in bed with the ISI (the Pakistani intelligence agency.)
Trading with the enemy…
Making money by supporting the enemies of democracy and freedom, an old tradition among America’s elites.
Here’s the full story of World War II like you’ve never heard it before.
AT&T, Ford, General Motors, IBM, Standard Oil…they were all onboard with the Nazis.
The Nazis were US funded, US fueled and US supplied.
How deep did it go?
Auschwitz was a US conceived and funded enterprise.
And the family that was essential to all this ? The Walkers and the Bushes as in George Herbert Walker Bush and George Walker Bush.

On this day in 1898, the USS Maine blew up in Havana harbor.
No one reading this is old enough to remember the “Remember the Maine” campaign.
It started with a spectacular explosion in Havana harbor and the sinking of the USS Maine.
It was blamed on “bad guys” who the US conveniently already had detailed plans of attacking.
The real story only came out 90 years later and it probably wasn’t in your school history book.
The parallels with 9/11 are chilling.
Jimmy Dore reviews MSNBCs recent attempted take down of anti-war presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbert.
All war, all the time.
And it’s fine with ALL the news networks: MSNBC, FOX, CNN, NPR etc.
Here “Morning Joe” goes four against one to try to undermine the credibility of the only presidential candidate unambiguously against the war.
Could it be because she’s the only candidate who is a veteran?
The US news media motto should be: Support the Vets – unless they’re against war
P.S. We love you Jimmy.

Brasscheck did some of the original detailed reporting on the use of tear gas and other chemical weapons against demonstrators way back in 1999 in connection with the WTO protests in Seattle.
The French started using it first after WW I.
At first the Brits thought it was too savage.
Then they saw the US use it against labor protestors and veterans in the 1920s and 30s and decided it was a good thing.
Now it’s used regularly – and mindlessly – over the world to disrupt lawful demonstrations including in the good old USA.

For the brief time he worked for them, MSNBC paid Jesse Ventura to NOT talk about war.
He signed a contract and then the Iraq War came along and they told him to shut up – and fired him and Phi Donahue too.
Unfortunately, they owned him and the contract forbid him from appearing on any other press outlet for three years.
He was literally paid millions as was Phil Donahue.
That’s how important war is to these animals. They will pay their most popular hosts millions to stay off the air and not speak the truth.

The facts are still open.
The US had a major terrorist incident on 9/11 and it’s still not clear who was behind it.
One thing is clear: governments are in the terror business.
On 9/11:
* The physics were impossible
* The logistics were impossible
* The official story is complete BS
So who did it?
One thing we know for sure: al Qaeda did not have the capacity to do it.
