Dark Shadows: Iran-Contra, Secret Wars & Covert Operations

"Let all the poisons that lurk in the mud hatch out." — Claudius1

Thirty years ago the United States government was embroiled in a scandal whose repercussions are felt today in a perverse variation on the idea that those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. We have been repeating Iran-Contra operations in various forms and guises ever since only now they're not a scandalous aberration but standard operating procedure of the Deep State.

Illegal wars are now legal. Covert operations are continuous. Only revealing them is illegal.

Thirty years later, every day is Day of the Dead and each night is New Year's Eve when we make resolutions to do better next time. Where to begin the body count? The scandal itself began dramatically enough, at least in the theater of television if not the cauldron of secret war where it had been simmering, waiting to explode, for years.
