coverup - behind the iran contra affair
barbara trent, 1988
72 min

The documentary includes  the 1980 Reagan/Bush campaign's secret hostage deal; the so-called "shadow government"; the history of CIA involvement in drug running and government-sanctioned assassinations.

Ronald Reagan, in 1979, sent George Bush, Richard Allen, and Donald Greg to two meetings, one in Paris France and one in Washington DC, to insure Carter was not re-elected. They negotiated with Manchari Gorbanifar (Iranian arms dealer), Bani Sadr (president of Iran and political puppet of the Kohmeni regime), Albert Hakim (arms dealer), and Hashem (diplomat of the Iranian government). Reagan's team promised that the US federal government would sell over one billion US dollars in American weapons to Iran if Iran would not release the American hostages until after the 1980 presidential election.
Since Reagan had no authority to make such a deal, he had to hide this transaction from the Congress and the American people. He did this by using Oliver North, Point Dexer, William Case, and National Security Agency to set-up and maintained his cover-up. The illegal arms deal, starting on March 9, 1981 and continuing into 1986, was built upon an elaborate network of dummy corporations (like Kendal Holding Limited and EATSCO) and numbered bank accounts. The dummy corporation, controlled by Iranian sympathizers, bought weapons from the US government and sold them to another dummy corporation, at a small financial increase. The profits made from the first dummy corporation selling to the second was filtered through the CIA and given to the Contras. The Contras were another political Military organization train by the School of Americas, to stamp out land reform in Central America,violently.
