The Real News needs BFEE experts: 20 years since IranContra

[blm]

https://therealnews.com/web/index.php?thisdataswitch=0&thisid=226&thisview=item

We have at least 5 DUers who have compiled alot of information on IranContra, BushInc's machinations, and how it continues in many of today's operations.

If you can share your research with The Real News, it might be another way to wake up some in our own party who naively believe Iran Contra is no longer an issue for this country.

Well.....

Guess what Democrats? The Truth STILL Matters. Truth exposed is the ONLY way to change this nation's course.

1. kicking for the good guys

2. Iran Contra became SOP. It sure does matter!

:kick:

[blm]

3. It actually never stopped - and why the Sibel Edmonds case is kept at bay

by the DC powerstructure.

And why Plame and her company were outed.

And why BushInc will need to assure the next president in place who will continue the coverups.

4. Looking for Mr Octafish, leveymg, robertpaulsen, seemslike and bobthedrummer

and other citizen journos familar with this BFEE operation and its aftermath.

15. The time is now for speaking openly about the history of some domestic black operations

that's my specialty, and my motivation-far too many people have suffered blow back for decades as a result of operational security and "system maintenance".

I look forward to others revealing what they have experienced and will support them with what I know, there's a lot going on and the truth is being presented.

NGU.

31. Sorry to be late...

...I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, but I'm afraid my walk has become rather sillier recently, and so it takes me rather longer to get to work.

Thanks for the heads-up on TheRealNews.com online news service.

They are my kind of people, those who love the Truth.

6. We let Nixon and crew off...

then we let Ollie et al off, and now we will be letting the current bastards off -- Congress and the American people have let the criminals know there is no punishment for crimes against the country. :(

7. Seems to have started way before there. I like this BBC report of the coup against FDR.

8. Exactly - Rove can go undercover now, just the way Poppy Bush did and came back

stronger than ever without the burden of congressional oversight.

With the comeback of Bush2 in 1999, they sure learned their lesson, eh?

9. Everyone infers that John Kerry has given up...

I'm no so sure about that.;)

[blm]

10. I have to believe that neither Gore or Kerry will give up - but, the constant

maneuverings against them and their credibility from both the GOP and powerful Democrats has to be a tough obstacle for both to overcome.

I wouldn't BLAME them if they did give up, but MAN WOULD I BE PISSED that they felt forced to give up because most Democrats didn't give a rat's ass about TRUTH and protecting Open Government.

11. You can't fail if you never give up.

NGU!!!

Have you read Access Denied?

[blm]

12. Yes - and thanks for being here.

You are one who always adds strength and conviction to this forum site.

[fooj]

14. Awwwww... Thank you.

:hug:

I'm willing to do what it takes and I KNOW you are, too. I suppose the best thing we can do is to keep fighting and keep educating. I can't and won't give up HOPE. It just isn't in me.

FWIW- I'm here if you need help distributing info... anytime. Just let me know. :hi:

19. That site is interesting. I was browsing it earlier today.

My first thought was the same as yours: there are some DUers who have a lot of knowledge about this subject and some great research skills to boot. I didn't see this post till after contacting a few of them, but it does present an opportunity for some of these talented folks.

They are also looking for good news video too. A couple of other talented DUers come to mind in that regard.

[blm]

20. Yep - this is definitely an area we agree 100%

and I hope the heads up you give bring even more help.

Dang, I wish I had writing talent.

[_dynamicdems]

21. You're no slouch in the writing or researching department, BLM.

Isn't it amazing how many talented and smart people habituate DU? Well, I guess they had to congregate somewhere. You won't find any at the Free Repiglick.

[WildEyedLiberal]

22. kick - keep shining that light of truth

[Old and In the Way]

23. Bookmarked the site....I like the organizing theory behind it.

Love to see the aforementioned DUers getting well deserved exposure for their work here..

Here's why we all give a damn:

Iran-Contra gangsters resurface in Bush administration

By Patrick Martin
1 August 2001

The Bush administration appealed to Senate Democrats July 27 to move ahead with the confirmation of two top-level diplomatic nominees whose appointments have been delayed because of their role in defending right-wing dictatorships and death squads in Central America.

Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Joseph Biden (D-Del) said through a spokesman that a hearing for John Negroponte, nominated for US ambassador to the United Nations, would be held as early as next week. No hearing has yet been set for Otto Reich, nominated for assistant secretary of state for western hemisphere affairs.

Negroponte and Reich are two of the three Bush administration appointees with direct operational roles in the Central American counterinsurgency campaigns of the 1980s. The third is Elliott Abrams, named as director of the office for democracy, human rights and international operations at the National Security Council, a White House position which is not subject to Senate confirmation. Abrams was convicted of lying to Congress about the Iran-Contra affair, but was later pardoned by Bush’s father in 1992.

Negroponte was US ambassador to Honduras during the years when the right-wing Nicaraguan Contra forces were based in southern Honduras, just across the border from Nicaragua, supplied and armed illegally by the Reagan administration. Abrams was assistant secretary of state for western hemisphere affairs during that period and worked closely with Oliver North in organizing the illegal arms supplies to the Contras. Reich headed the Office of Public Diplomacy, a State Department agency which illegally funded pro-Contra propaganda both in the US and internationally.

DU is a great Truth Machine that works for We the People.

When real investgations begin, the People can use the Search function to find areas of investigation and grounds for prosecution.
