For those of you what don't remember, October
Surprise refers to
the claim, by WITNESSES WHO WERE THERE,
that George Bush Sr. and
Reagan Campaign Chairman William Casey
met with Iranians in a hotel in
Paris on Oct. 17,1980 to make a secret
deal to trade arms for the hostages
to be kept in Iran until after candidate
Reagan was elected.
These negotiations were contrary to the
legitimate
and official negotiations
underway by the U.S. Government of
President Carter.
If it happened as the now HALF A DOZEN
EYEWITNESSES claim,
it would be treason, right?
Why should we believe the witnesses?
My answer is simple, THE DATE.
How did they pick the date?
Obviously, if they made it up.
It would be easy to debunk the story.
All you have to do is to look at the record.
It's 3 weeks before the Big Election. Surely the VP Candidate
(Bush)
would have given an interview, made a campaign appearance, taken
a picture
or something. All you have to do is produce the
newspaper account, picture,
radio interview, whatever, and the entire theory is completely
shot.
Undoubtedly, the campaign manager would have attended a strategy
meeting,
raised money or just showed up at his office. It should
be very easy to disprove the story.
Remember, it's just THREE WEEKS before the election.
SO, WHAT DOES THE RECORD SHOW?
George Bush, the Vice Presidential Candidate, 3 weeks before the
election,
disappears from public view on the 16th and reappears on the
18th.
Bill Casey, the Campaign Manager, 3 weeks before the election,
takes the time
to attend an Economic Conference at a small college in Southern
England.
He signs into the conference on the 15th and nobody remembers
seeing him
again until closing ceremonies on the 18th.
And, JUST BY RANDOM COINCIDENCE, it's just a 2 hour flight
to the hotel
in Paris where EYEWITNESSES can place him.
I FIND THIS KIND OF INCREDIBLE COINCIDENCE UNACCEPTABLE.
I believe the witnesses.
They were there.
I believe that Casey was there.
It would have been too dangerous for Bush to go himself.
He must have sent a double.
(Before you 'pooh pooh' the notion, remember, Bush is an old CIA
man.
He is definitely skilled and experienced in the use of doubles.)
But to send a double, Bush himself would have to disappear from
public view
so not to expose the fake.
(Iranians are not going to know the real Bush from a double).
And that's exactly what happened.
Also, Bush would need an alibi.
And, like Al Capone having lunch with a judge during the St.
Valentine's Day Massacre,
George Bush was playing tennis with a Judge at a very private
club.
WHY DIDN'T THE EYEWITNESSES SPEAK UP SOONER?
They are the Iranians who were at the meeting and the arms dealers
that set up the deal.
They say that as long a Bush was President and he and Casey were
in charge of the CIA,
they were afraid for their lives. I don't blame them.
MAYBE THEY RESEARCHED THE DATES and found the one and only date
that both the Candidate and Campaign Manager were unaccounted
for.
Remember, this was 1980, there is no internet, there was no way
research this material.
IT COULD ONLY BE ONE OF THREE THINGS:
1. They are really, really, really good guessers.
2. They have extraordinary psychic ability
3. Or, George Bush WAS there, and he is a traitor
to his country.
Until a Blind Faith Republican
can show me a fourth possibility
for how the Iranians picked
the date, we have to believe NO. 3
This, of course is only one of the incredible coincidences relating
to this story,
including the fact that the British, French and Russian
Intelligence Agencies
(including the highly-touted KGB) place candidate Bush in Paris
that weekend.
The fact that the Carter negotiators thought they had a deal until
suddenly,
after the 17th, the Iranians pulled back, even as Ronald Reagan
was on the
campaign trail swearing to never trade arms for those
hostages.
And, Of course, the day that Reagan took office, the hostages
were released and arms began to move into Iran.
THERE IS MUCH MORE EVIDENCE.
Far more than anything ever brought against Clinton.
Just ask and ye shall receive.
