New York Public Library - Digital Photo Collection

1.) Spartacus Schoolnet

(The Reagan Page)

A British "Learning" Page

with many excellent resources.

I've chosen to focus on Ronald Reagan's "page"

because his administration was exceptionally corrupt.

Also, his fetishistic war on the democratically-elected

government of Nicaragua was especially vile.

This so-called "Contra War" was made possible through

the administration's traitorous dealings with Iran.

Despite widespread adulation, Mr. Reagan is responsible

for the slaughter of innocent people.

Thousands of innocent people.

2.) An over-view of Reagan administration malfeasance.

2-A.) A catalogue of Reagan officials convicted of crimes.

3.) To fully appreaciate Ronald Reagan's whimsical

misrepresentation of Truth, see Mark Green's

“Reagan's Reign of Error” and Paul Slanky's

“The Clothes Have no Emperor”

3-A.) Don't miss the splendid anthology of quotations

culled from these books at "Was He Really that Dumb?"
