Well, they weren't joking that "money is the root of all evil", were they?

Same cast of characters, different day.

Actually, this is what happens beneath the veil of politics.
It's nothing really new, but can be shocking to moral or ethical hard-working people.
Al Martin has a new book out.....Secrets of an Iran Contra Insider (thanks to Ed for this link):

Government Insider Al Martin
Tells a Story of True Conspiracy

WHAT IF a criminal cabal, a de facto white-collar crime syndicate, took over the US Government and used its systems and operations for its own profit?

According to former government operative whistleblower Al Martin, this is exactly what happened.

Al Martin is the Man Who Knows Too Much.

A self-described fourth level player of Iran Contra, Martin has first hand knowledge of the dirty deals, high-level scams, frauds, and treasonous activities of the US Shadow Government.

Al Martin's new electronic book-manuscript called "The Conspirators: Secrets of an Iran Contra Insider" is a true crime story that's too hot for mainstream media.

It's a shocking expose' of Iran Contra scandals and it's totally uncensored.

This book is a hidden history of American corruption in the 1980s. And 1990s. Even until the present day.

His eye-witness accounts include first-hand knowledge of US Government drug trafficking, illegal weapons deals, as well as wholesale fraud by government perps -- securities fraud, real estate fraud, and insurance fraud.

Because of these criminal-government schemes, losses for taxpayers are in the hundreds of billions of dollars. And growing.

When George Bush, Bill Casey and Oliver North initiated their plan of State-sanctioned fraud and drug smuggling, they envisioned using 500 men to raise $35 billion.

When Iran Contra finally fell apart, they had ended up using 5,000 operatives and making $350 billion.

And who is Al Martin? After Al Martin retired as a Lt. Commander from the US Naval Reserves, his life went into the fast lane as a black ops specialist. His first intelligence assignment was in Peru, then he was tapped for a CIA-sanctioned operation smuggling American Express cards into Argentina in 1979.

After that he met US Government-sponsored con man Lawrence Richard Hamil, a Department of Defense shadow player, who taught him the ropes of profitable covert operations.

In 1984, Martin began marketing Hamil's "deals" through his Florida based Southeast Resources, Inc.

At a meeting with General Richard V. Secord and Hamil, Martin was briefed about Iran Contra operations and allowed to view voluminous CIA white papers concerning Operation Black Eagle, the code-name for the Bush-Casey-North program involving US Government-sanctioned narcotics trafficking, illicit weapons deals and wholesale fraud.
