Part 1a 41:28 | Part 1b 41:46 | Part 1c 37:20 | Part 1d 36:57 | Part 1e 41:40
(Orig­i­nally broad­cast June 14, 1987)

Focuses on the role of drug prof­its and the cocaine trade in financ­ing the Con­tra sup­port effort. In addi­tion to exam­in­ing the Chris­tic Institute’s affi­davit, the dis­cus­sion focuses on the “Pizza Con­nec­tion” and its ties to the Iran-Contra scandal.

Pt. 2: Ter­ror In Latin Amer­ica (AFA 30)
Part 2a 44:14 | Part 2b 42:00 | Part 2c 44:35 | Part 2d 42:24 | Part 2e 15:04
(Orig­i­nally broad­cast June 28, 1987)

Extends dis­cus­sion of the Terpil-Wilson oper­a­tion cov­ered in AFA num­ber 4 to events in Cen­tral Amer­ica. The pro­gram presents evi­dence of Cen­tral Amer­i­can provo­ca­tions planned by Ter­pil & Wilson’s asso­ciates and the group’s cen­tral posi­tion in the Iran-Contra scandal.

Pt. 3.1: The Desta­bi­liza­tion Of Pres­i­dent Carter (AFA 31-A)
Part 3a 47:09 | Part 3b 41:35 | Part 3c 41:02 | Part 3d 42:54 | Part 3e 14:07
(Orig­i­nally broad­cast August 30, 1987)

Exam­ines how indi­vid­u­als dis­cussed in AFA pro­gram num­bers 4 and 30 coop­er­ated in a num­ber of oper­a­tions aimed at desta­bi­liz­ing the pres­i­dency of Jimmy Carter by manip­u­lat­ing the Iran­ian hostage cri­sis of 1979 — 80. The broad­cast cen­ters on the role of Amer­i­can polit­i­cal fig­ures in effect­ing that cri­sis, the fail­ure of the “Desert One” hostage res­cue attempt of April 1980 and the appar­ent “Octo­ber Sur­prise” deal to delay the release of the hostages and assure Carter’s reelec­tion defeat.

Pt. 3.2: An Inter­view with Farah Man­soor (AFA 31–2)
(Orig­i­nally broad­cast 1987; 450 minutes)

This series of inter­views cov­ers the land­mark research of Farah Man­soor, a mem­ber of the Iran­ian resis­tance whose his­toric research on the rise of the Khome­ini regime doc­u­ments the deci­sive role of the United States in devel­op­ing Islamic fun­da­men­tal­ist forces in that coun­try as the anti-communist suc­ces­sors to the Shah’s gov­ern­ment. Farah has doc­u­mented that U.S. Ambas­sador to Iran, Richard Helms, learned that the Shah had can­cer in 1974. For­mer Direc­tor of Cen­tral Intel­li­gence Helms promptly informed the CIA and Depart­ment of State with the result that, by 1976, George Bush’s CIA was actively sup­port­ing and groom­ing the Khome­ini forces. The sub­se­quent takeover of the U.S. embassy in Tehran, the with­hold­ing of the U.S. hostages until after Pres­i­dent Carter’s defeat was assured, the Khome­ini gov­ern­ment itself and the Iran-Contra scan­dal proper were all out­growths of this pro­found and long-standing rela­tion­ship. It should be noted that parts of this rela­tion­ship have been mis­un­der­stood as what has become known as “the Octo­ber Sur­prise.” Although there was, mas­sive col­lu­sion between the Reagan-Bush cam­paign and the Khome­ini forces dur­ing the 1980 elec­tion cam­paign, there was no “deal” cut dur­ing the cam­paign. Rather, the “deal” was part of a covert oper­a­tion begun years before and the col­lu­sion dur­ing the cam­paign was an out­growth of it. These inter­views are also part of AFA pro­gram num­ber 38 (Part 5).

Pt. 4: Stag­ing the Fourth Reich (AFA 32)
Part 4a 44:00 | Part 4b 40:54 | Part 4c 42:01 | Part 4d 35:54 | Part 4e 29:16
(Orig­i­nally broad­cast Sep­tem­ber 13, 1987)

Sets forth evi­dence that the U.S. national secu­rity estab­lish­ment may have been plan­ning a fas­cist coup in response to a ter­ror­ist provo­ca­tion. The pro­gram deals pri­mar­ily with the “Rex 84″ martial-law con­tin­gency plan and its imple­men­ta­tion in response to a ter­ror­ist “inci­dent”. Rex ’84 appears to stem from a con­tin­gency plan to intern black Amer­i­cans in con­cen­tra­tion camps.

Pt. 5: The Cover-up, Part A (AFA 33)
Part 5a 45:26 | Part 5b 40:14 | Part 5c 44:49 | Part 5d 37:06 | Part 5e 14:10
