Shadow Government Exposed
The Consequences of the Iran-Contra Scandal

“This is a follow-up to Clowns in America, School of Assassins and Dictators, and The Shadow Game, an introduction into the seedy origins and consequences of the CIA.
The Shadow Government was established and entrenched over many decades. It had become so powerful that many people inside and outside of the country feared the consequences of trying to buck the system. But there were moments in time when this corrupt CIA controlled shadow government actually seemed vulnerable.
One such moment happened on October 5, 1986.
What happened?”
...
“It was the Iran-Contra scandal. But what was this scandal really about? Was it just about illegal arms sales? That’s always been the narrative. I believe that’s the purposeful ‘red herring’ argument deployed by the shadow government in order to hide the truth. The real truth reveals that the shadow government had been operating outside of Congressional oversight and without authorization of the president for a long time.
The shadow government had been setting up their own, independent funding sources, outside of any Congressional control. This is what the Iran-Contra scandal should have been focused on. Instead, the whole country focused on selling weapons for hostages and fighting communism.
The Iran-Contra scandal did expose some key players in the shadow government, however.
There are interesting connections to this scandal that help to reveal the truth and surprisingly, they involve phone calls—evidence from phone calls that connect key individuals to something much bigger than just arming some rebels in Nicaragua or freeing hostages.”

I agree. A lot of the details, including the use of "Iran/Contra" as cover story, appear in the important book: Compromised: Clinton, Bush and the CIA Hardcover – February 1, 1994 by Terry Reed (Author), John Cummings (Author)
