- "COVERUP: Behind The Iran-Contra Affair"
- Produced by the Empowerment Project, 1988
- [ordering info bellow]
-
- An extremely well-made, powerful video about the Iran-Contra scandal,
- and subsequent coverup. Includes interviews with former CIA analyst
- David MacMichael; Former U.S. Ambassador Robert White; Barbara
- Honegger, formerly a key Reagan/Bush '80 campaign worker; former
- Iranian President Bani-Sadr; Former contra Eden Pastora; Former contra
- directorate member Edgar Chamorro; Peter Dale Scott, co-author of _The
- Iran-Contra Connection. Secret Teams and Covert Operations in the
- Reagan Era_; quite a few, surprisingly candid government officials,
- including Rep. Henry Gonzales and Rep. Jack Brooks; Tony Avirgan and
- Martha Honey; the Christic Institute's Daniel Sheehan; etc.
-
- Includes extensive, professional graphics and video excerpts,
- including of the La Penca bombing. The video starts with the "October
- Surprise" -- including displaying former Iranian president Bani Sadr's
- copies of U.S. sales of weapons to Iran in *1981* (the official,
- *post* Iran-Contra story still is that these sales began many years
- later); the "October Surprise," the title of Honegger's book, is what
- the Reagan/Bush campaign feared most in late 1980; that Carter might
- be able to get the hostages out before the elections and thus win...
- the evidence, increasingly strong, suggests that the Reagan/Bush
- campaign met Iranian officials in Paris in 1980 to avoid an "October
- Surprise," cutting a deal to delay the release of the American
- Hostages (by some 70 days) in return for the U.S. selling Iran
- advanced weapons. Various CIA officials and Iranians (including
- Bani-Sadr, now living in exile) have confirmed and produced much
- evidence to support this (see also Breneke below).
-
- The video continues to cover the CIA/contra role in drug-running; in
- the La-Penca bombing; Ollie/NSC's plans to suspend the Constitution,
- etc. Does not include more recent revelations: e.g., relating to the
- Breneke trial.
-
- nor does it includethe CIA's role in subverting the Costa-Rican
- investigation of La-Penca, or the fact that the Costa Rican
- legislature has since declared the former U.S. Ambassador, Ollie
- North, Robert Owen, and other Iran-Contra characters *persona non
- grata* in Costa Rica for their roles in the criminal activity; also
- John Hull, who worked with the CIA in the contra gun/drug running
- operations, has been indicted in Costa Rica for murder, and has since
- jumped bail and fled to the U.S. (Hull was named in the Christic
- Institute's 1986 suit on behalf of Avirgan for his role in the La
- Penca bombing.) The conclusions of the Costa-Rican Atty. General's
- investigation of La Penca are nearly identical to those in the
- Avirgan/Honey suite brought forth by Christic in 1986. [See CAIB #34
- (see "publications" file ).
