While Scan TV studios are under renovation we have been showing the best of the last five seasons of SJTV. Last week and this week we are airing new shows for you. Last week we showed Part 1 of Cover Up:Behind the Iran Contra Affair. Even though this documents the second term of the Reagan Administration I tink you will find shocking similarities between what that administration was dong then and what the Bush Administration is doing now.
On this week's edition of SJTV we will show five minutes of an interview I had with courageous resister Lt. Ehtan Watada. He is the first commissioned officer to refuse orders to deploy to Iraq on the grounds that it is an illegal war. We will have the full interview on next weeks ( JUne 30th) show.
Then for the second segment of this weeks show we will be showing Part 2 of Cover Up Behind: the Iran contra Scandal. This documents the shameless and unlawful activities of the Reagan administration in funneling money from sales of Arms to the Iranians to fund a brutal and illegal covert war in Nicaragua. This exposes the the rise and first appearance of a National Security State run by a a small number of people whom some call a shadow government. It shows how they manipulated and perverted various offices of government for personal gain and to accompish their own personal political agendas much in the same way the current Bush administration is now, giving unparalleled access to large corporate cronies to reallocate taxpayer into corporate coffers.
