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.
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.
