POSTING FOR NO REASON: in October 1980, officials in Ronald Reagan's presidential campaign, including future CIA Director William Casey, made a secret deal with Iran to delay the release of the American hostages until after the election. Reagan won in a landslide. Are we still watching a movie?

I remember that election quite well. He didn’t win in a landslide. That was 84.
We are not watching a movie. The world has always been corrupt, but it has never been this bad and civilization is rushing to a collapse. Make sure you have food for six months, a way to purify water, radiation pills, and freedom seeds.
The phrase “enjoy the show” never meant this was all faked. It’s very real.
What are you even talking about? Absolute landslide. 1984 was even stronger. But 1980 was:
Unless I misunderstand you.

Reagan hated Bush. GHWB really went after Reagan in the primaries, the "Voodoo Economics" stuff. People were shocked when Ronny picked him as VP. Then he was almost assassinated not long after inauguration.
By Hinckley, whose family was associated with the Bush Crime Family—like the bin Ladins.
“Treaster, Joseph B. (April 1, 1981). "A LIFE THAT STARTED OUT WITH MUCH PROMISE TOOK RECLUSIVE AND HOSTILE PATH". The New York Times. p. A19. The eldest Hinckley child, Scott, 30, is the vice president of the his [sic] father's company and a friend of Neil Bush, the son of Vice President Bush. Scott Hinckley and a date had been invited to dinner at the young Bushes' home last night, but the dinner was canceled after the shooting.”

“Several bin Laden family members invested millions in The Carlyle Group, a private global equity firm based in Washington, DC. The company’s senior advisor was Bush’s father, former President George H.W. Bush. After news of the bin Laden-Bush connection became public, the elder Bush stepped down from Carlyle.
“Interestingly, on Sept. 11, 2001, members of the Carlyle Group – including Bush senior, and his former secretary of state, James Baker – were meeting at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Washington, D.C., along with Shafiq bin Laden, another one of Osama bin Laden’s brothers.“

I guess it’s all just coincidental.
I read stuff like this and shake my head at how asleep I was during those years. In my defense, I was in only a teenager but, later, as an adult, I never thought to dig. I just trusted.
