This is Part 4 of Faust’s explosive solo series unraveling the Bush–Clinton dynasty — diving deep into the Iran side of Iran-Contra, the coverups, and the televised hearings that turned criminals into heroes.
In this episode, Faust dissects how Israel played middleman in backdoor arms sales to Iran, how the CIA and rogue operatives built a global weapons pipeline, and how the October Surprise set the stage for a presidency built on treason. He explores the strange death of CIA Director William Casey, the theatrical rise of Oliver North, and the legal violations buried beneath patriotic pageantry.
You’ll also learn how these covert deals were never about freedom — they were about leverage. And why the “leak” that exposed the scandal may have been a blackmail move in a much bigger power struggle.
