How the CIA and Hollywood Pulled Off the Most Audacious Rescue in History
Mar 25, 2014
The commenter below me, Franklin1, really nails this, it was a Canadian operation. More accurate than this book or movie, would be to research the presidential directive which Zbignew Brzezinksi claimed President Carter issued to destabilize the once-secular government of Afghanistan (together with Saudi Arabia they financed the relocation of Islamic Wahabist extremists to Afghanisan's northern border - - which had been populated with the moderate Sufi Islam believers - - that border being shared by the Soviet Union). Also, research how Kermit Roosevelt (and his cousin, Archibald Roosevelt) of the CIA led the overthrow of the democratically-elected Mossedegh back in 1953, because that Iranian prime minister wanted to nationalize the Iranian oil fields, i.e., use Iranian oil to enrich the Iranian people, not the multinationals! (Aramco, today known as BP, is half owned by the Rockefeller, Mellon and Rothschild families, and the other half ostensibly owned by the British government. Kermit Roosevelt would later go on be attain the position of Assistant CEO at Gulf Oil [Mellon-owned].)
