In this episode—Part 4 of The Syndicate, the Octopus, and the Gray Alliance—we look at how the Iran-Contra scandal was part of a bigger Zionist neoconservative deep state campaign to derail the Reagan and Bush-led efforts to impose a Palestinian state on Israel. The neocons’ campaign included much more than the weaponization of the Iran-Contra scandal. Its climax was the indictment of Caspar Weinberger on the eve of the 1992 election, an event which many observers credited for costing George H.W. Bush his re-election bid. This series expands on my 2025 presentation from the 9/11 Turning the Tide conference. The working plan is for the series to eventually be transcribed and edited for a journal article. Check out:
