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?

The October Surprise conspiracy is the Trump Collusion myth of the Reagan years. You only have to read the Wikipedia article and look at the bold bullets and see that it was the usual suspects publishing the allegations.
The main difference between then and now, at least as I see it, was that most MSM outlets functioned independently. Now we have a unified monolithic system publishing talking points and spewing propaganda.
