It aired on PBS in 1987 and is as good as anything on the tape (must see). Moyers is a very respected TV journalist who also worked for Lyndon B. Johnson and has a very professional approach. He interviews many different people involved with the CIA and other government agencies. His documentary gives quite an overview of what has actually happened in the last 50 years regarding the CIA and the cold war (including Iran, Guatamala, Cuba, Viet Nam and Chile). He features such people as Ralph McGeehee and Phil Retinger (both former CIA agents), Rear Admiral Gene La Rocque (Ret. U.S.N.), Theodore Bissell (active in the CIA at the time), Sen. Frank Church and many others. Moyers is so very credible. The full video “The Secret Government” is 90 minutes – this segment is edited by Frank Dorrel to 20 minutes.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations, known as CAIR, claims to be Americas largest Islamic civil liberties group. But thats a myth. Here are the facts/;
FACT: CAIR is an unindicted coconspirator in the largest terrorism finance trial in Americas history.
FACT: CAIR is being sued by Muslim, African-American and Hispanic families for defrauding them instead of giving them legal help.
FACT: Four CAIR leaders have been convicted of felonies including terrorism.
FACT: Only one percent, ONE PERCENT, of CAIRs latest reported revenues came from Muslim American members.
Meanwhile foreign donors- Saudi Arabia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait- have given CAIR over six million dollars in cash and loans, and over fifty million dollars in pledges.
One percent from members: millions from Saudi Arabia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait.
Shouldnt there be a law to let the American public know the truth about CAIR and their foreign donors? Of course, and there is one CAIR just doesnt follow it.
The Foreign Agents Registration Act, enacted just before World War Two, still requires foreign agents spreading propaganda to register, so Americans can know what they are up to. Back then the problem was foreign agents working for the Nazis. Today the problem is foreign agents like CAIR, working for Saudi Arabia, Iran and others.
Americans have a right to know that CAIR received over six million dollars in cash and loans and over fifty million dollars in pledges. But CAIR never reported the money.
Americans have a right to know that CAIR conducted over thirty meetings with foreign dignitaries from the same countries that gave them millions of dollars. But CAIR never reported the meetings.
Americans have a right to know that CAIR organized over fifty political and propaganda operations for the goals of their foreign donors. But CAIR never reported the operations.
The Center for Security Policy believes that CAIR should follow the law, and that all Americans have a right to know about CAIRs activities as an agent for their foreign donors in Saudi Arabia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait.
Thats why we launched the CAIRObservatory.org website – to connect the dots about CAIRs operations as a foreign agent in America. The money, the meetings, the political activities, the propaganda: the facts, documented, reported, unmasked.
Join us at CAIRObservatory.org. Help connect the dots because Americans have a right to know.

Connecting Israeli Zionist influence on America’s Foreign Policy the BBC investigative journalism show Panorama aired The War Party on May 18th, 2003 right after the start of the Iraq War.
Key members of the Bush administration and the powerful American Enterprise Institute were part of a Israeli think tank called The Institute for Advanced Strategic & Political Studies (IASPS):
http://www.israeleconomy.org/index.php
In a report done in 1996, before the formation of PNAC, which was called “A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm” they listed Israeli goals and concerns:
REMOVING SADDAM HUSSIEN:
“Israel can shape its strategic environment, in cooperation with Turkey and Jordan, by weakening, containing, and even rolling back Syria. This effort can focus on removing Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq — an important Israeli strategic objective in its own right”
MIDDLE EAST STABILITY:
“Iraq’s future could affect the strategic balance in the Middle East profoundly, it would be understandable that Israel has an interest in supporting the Hashemites in their efforts to redefine Iraq,”
CONTROL IRAQ, HELP ISRAEL:
“Were the Hashemites to control Iraq, they could use their influence over Najf to help Israel wean the south Lebanese Shia away from Hizballah, Iran, and Syria.”
MANAGE AND CONSTRAIN US REACTION:
“To anticipate U.S. reactions and plan ways to manage and constrain those reactions, Prime Minister Netanyahu can formulate the policies and stress themes he favors in language familiar to the Americans by tapping into themes of American administrations during the Cold War which apply well to Israel.”
Link to the full report:
http://www.iasps.org/strat1.htm
People interviewed or mentioned in this video that hold both USA and Israel citizenship and are Zionists:
Richard Perle
One of Bush’s foreign policy advisors, he is the chairman of the Pentagon’s Defense Policy Board. Perle was expelled from Senator Henry Jackson’s office in the 1970’s after the National Security Agency (NSA) caught him passing Highly-Classified (National Security) documents to the Israeli Embassy. He later worked for the Israeli weapons firm, Soltam. Perle came from one the above mentioned pro-Israel think tanks, the AEI. Perle is one of the leading pro-Israeli fanatics leading this Iraq war mongering within the administration and now in the media.
Paul Wolfowitz
Former Deputy Defense Secretary, and member of Perle’s Defense Policy Board, in the Pentagon. Wolfowitz is a close associate of Perle, and reportedly has close ties to the Israeli military. His sister lives in Israel. Wolfowitz came from the above mentioned Jewish think tank, JINSA. Wolfowitz was the number two leader within the administration behind this Iraq war mongering. He later was appointed head of the World Bank but resigned under pressure from World Bank members over a scandal involving his misuse of power.
David Frum
White House speechwriter behind the “Axis of Evil” label. He lumped together all the lies and accusations against Iraq for Bush to justify the war.
John Bolton
Former UN Representative and Under-Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security. Bolton is also a Senior Advisor to President Bush. Prior to this position, Bolton was Senior Vice President of the above mentioned pro-Israel think tank, AEI. In October 2002 he accused Syria of having a nuclear program, so that they can attack Syria after Iraq.
Meyrav and David Wurmser
Special Assistant to John Bolton, the under-secretary for arms control and international security. Wurmser also worked at the AEI with Perle and Bolton. Along with Colonel Yigal Carmon, formerly of Israeli military intelligence, co-founded the Middle East Media Research Institute (Memri),a Washington-based Israeli outfit which distributes articles translated from Arabic newspapers portraying Arabs in a bad light.
Eliot Cohen

Dr. Paul opposes the Enhanced Partnership with Pakistan Act of 2009, HR 3462:
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.3642:
Text of speech:
I thank the gentlelady for yielding.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to this bill. Sometimes I wonder how we can, with a straight face, bring a bill up like this with the conditions of this country, especially financially. I oppose this bill for two reasons. One, we don’t have the money. That would be a pretty good reason not to support it. And the other reason is I do not believe it’s in our national security interests. I know this is being promoted as benefiting our national security, but I do not believe it helps us one bit. This bill was essentially voted on in June, and the vote was 234-185, which means that it is assumed at least 56 or more individuals in the Congress have switched their votes.
Now they say they have tinkered with the bill and changed it a little bit, but it’s an authorization that could be $15 billion. So it hasn’t had that much of a change. But today it is expected that these individuals will change and vote for this bill not really asking the questions.
Now, the bill is defined as fortifying democratic institutions. That is a good goal. But it never, never works. We are in 130 countries, we have 700 bases around the world, and we pursue this, and we are bankrupting our country by trying to maintain this empire. I have often made the point that the way we treat our fellow countries around the world is we tell them what to do, and if they do it we give them money. If they don’t do it, we bomb them. Under this condition, we are doing both. We are currently dropping bombs in Pakistan. The CIA is dropping bombs, and innocent people get killed.
If you want to promote our good values and our democratic process, you can’t antagonize the people by literally killing people over there, because if bombs were falling on this country, we wouldn’t be all that happy with that. So this does not improve our conditions whatsoever.
I would suggest another proposal for our foreign policy, not using bombs and bribes, but what about neither one? What about just talking to people? What about reducing tariffs? What about trading with them? Instead, it is this form of foreign policy that will not serve our interests.

Feb. 19 (Bloomberg) — Keith McCullough, chief executive officer of Hedgeye Risk Management and a Bloomberg Television contributing editor, talks with Bloomberg’s Erik Schatzker and Deirdre Bolton about the Federal Reserve’s decision to raise the discount rate by a quarter-point to 0.75 percent.
The change, effective today, marks the first increase in the rate charged to banks for direct loans since June 2006. The Fed repeated in a statement in Washington yesterday that its benchmark federal funds rate would stay low for an “extended period.” (Source: Bloomberg)
