In January 1992 I published my first journalistic article ever. Published in Puerto Rico’s Claridad weekly newspaper, it was titled “The October Surprise”. In it I affirmed that the 1980 Reagan-Bush campaign bargained secretly with Iranian radicals for the postponement of the liberation of 52 Americans that they were holding hostage. These hostages were employees of the US embassy in Iran’s capital city of Teheran, which had been stormed by militants loyal to the Ayatollah Khomeini in November 1979. This secret deal, known as the October Surprise, frustrated the attempts of US president Jimmy Carter to obtain the hostages’ release in time for the elections in November. This failure cost Carter his reelection, and swept Republican candidate Ronald Reagan into the presidency. Polls carried out before the election showed that the hostage issue was of top importance in the minds of the American electorate.
The Republican campaign’s main negotiators in this deal were George H. W. Bush, vice presidential candidate and former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director, and William Casey, the campaign’s director and veteran spook who spied for the Office of Strategic Services during World War Two. Once elected, president Reagan appointed Casey to direct the CIA.
This is not an action that proves that Reagan was the Last Real President, besides the reports of abuse made by Cathy O'B. against him.
Many have tried to counter this info, but it keeps coming out. I read the book by someone years ago and it sure rings true. At the time I was just coming round, so I don't remember much of it. I have read his father was a really bad alcoholic and was mean to the boys. He had a very bad family life very poor. I am not making any excuses for him, so possibly why he got sick of that kind of life and wanted another. I also remember that he was a Dem. at first and then changed his stripes when as Gov. of Cal. he passed a bill that hurt college kids. I can't remember what it was right now. Probably what got him pushed upstairs.
You know what really hurt college kids? College, mostly. I read the Franklin Scandal and I remember Poppy Bush being named specifically but do not recall Reagan being present. His daughter Maureen, the oafish "good girl" is reported to have been enamored by big spender Larry Johnson and his inauguration parties, but those were the "legit" parties (with stolen Franklin money) IIRC. Not the despicable after parties.
The colleges the middle class and poorer folks somehow were allowed to intend were not the same as the Rhodes Scholar types. The wealthy kids went on to earn more money and it was all a big set up. I believe things were going to well for us folks and they are trying to get things back to when people had to pay for their kids to go to HS. Of course only rich kids could afford to go there. There is a reason Maureen died young. I believe she may have been abused by actor or pol. Prob an actor. I can't remember what it was that I read a while back that led me to think this. Franklin money hmm. Susan Buffet worked at Franklin and so did Lawrence King. What goes around comes around.
This would be from the testimony of Paul Bonacci I think. You know who could clear this up? Craig Spence... never mind. Wonder what Jeff Gannon us up to these days?
Reagan was a trained Hollywood actor. He may have had genuine conservative leanings, but he was controlled. The assassination attempt kept him in line. He may have genuinely not known the depth of control he was getting into. The Alzheimer's/ brain damage made him a puppet towards the end of his term. He signed the 1986 Bill that allowed Big Pharma to sell vaccines to the government WITH NO LIABILITY. In 1987, more vaccines were added to the child's vaccine schedule (increasing amount of mercury and other additive toxins) and began THE AGE OF AUTISM. From this date forward, autism became a full-blown epidemic.
I have long believed that mercury was causing Autism. People think I am crazy. I refuse to take shots myself. I can't even remember the last time I had a shot. No shingles shot or flu shot for me. I think it will only get worse before people cry out and then it will be too late really. Everyone will be under some kind of drug by then lulling them to sleep. I remember reading that Bush was friends with Hinckley's father and they had dinner right before the shooting, or was it his brother. Either way, GHW Bush is an evil man.
