In reply to the discussion: Shocking New Evidence Reveals Depths of 'Treason' and 'Treachery' of Watergate and Iran-Contra [View all]dreamnightwind
(4,775 posts)50. Indeed, and from the Parry article,
"It was in that intense climate in 1971 that Daniel Ellsberg, a former senior Defense Department official, gave the New York Times a copy of the Pentagon Papers, the secret U.S. history of the Vietnam War from 1945 to 1967. The voluminous report documented many of the lies most told by Democrats to draw the American people into the war."
The military-industrial cartels that have taken over our government have long had their fingers around the necks of both parties. The cancer lies not in the parties, rather they are the host, the disease is greed and control, and its method of transmission is the corrupting influence of money in politics. The cure is comprehensive campaign finance reform.
