October 5, 1986 - The cover-up of the Iran-Contra scandal began to unravel when Eugene Hasenfus was captured by government troops in Nicaragua after the plane in which he was flying was shot down; three others on the plane died in the crash. Under questioning, Hasenfus confessed that he had been shipping military supplies from the U.S. into Nicaragua for use by the contras, an insurgent force trying to bring down the the country’s Sandanista government.

The contras had been recruited and trained by the United States, and supported financially in violation of specific law passed by Congress that forbade it. The operation was directed from the White House and run by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Funding came from the sale of nearly 1500 missiles to Iran for use in its war with Iraq, though weapons sales to Iran were also illegal.

which brings me to that “endpoint” to Plan Condor: 1983

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983

i believe it was “ended” because it was wildly succesful. it was 3 years after the successful “soft coup” against Jimmy Carter and with the help of the #OPEC #petromafia cartel. it was also 4 years before the world knew of the #IranContra scandal and the role of the corporatist cadre of the #GOP #Republican Party as a shadow government behind the USA oligarchy’s #DirtyWars :

Bravo, Alex Wagner:

We need to start thinking about this as a very big deal on the scale of #Watergate & #IranContra because we have multiple federal agencies actively engaged in a cover-up on behalf of the President of the United States.

OH! PS!

1. in that old thread i columbused that Trump supposedly created a private database of every single gun and assault rifle owner in USA.

now you know how they’re recruiting people for #ICE

2. cannot repeat this enough: the people who were behind the #IranContra muders, the #CerroMaravilla murders, the #IranHostage crisis and murders and the #OPEC crisis ARE THE SAME PEOPLE BEHIND TRUMP & MAGA. it *is* the same Bush, Reagan, sundry nazis and Saudis crowd.

ignore this to our peril.

to fascists, LOOKS ARE EVERYTHING. they live by mirages and mirrors.

you can see this in 1980s fashion: the minute Republicans were successful with their #OPEC #oilCrisis, and then #IranHostage & #IranContra twofer coup against Jimmy Carter, shoulder pads popped on everything.

out went the dailywear of working class clothes like tshirts and jeans. everything became a riff on the business suit.

business suits are the uniform of USA corporatist fascism & Mussolini understood that… 🧵

since the #IranContra scandal of the 1980s, we’ve known the milliardaires funding #Republicans #GOP have been running shadow armies worldwide.

look at the #ICE goons as mercenaries. especially since these “contractors” are being managed by private army companies like Academi/Blackwater.

so…

who is to say these #DHS mercenaries are USA #citizens?

hiding their identity is more than theater. this has to be because most goons aren't American.
