  • Oliver Laurence North (born October 7, 1943) is an American political commentator, television host, military historian, author, and retired United States Marine Corps lieutenant colonel. He was convicted in the Iran-Contra affair of the late 1980s, but his convictions were vacated and reversed, and all charges against him dismissed in 1991.
    North is primarily remembered for his term as a National Security Council staff member during the Iran-Contra affair, a political scandal of the late 1980s. The scandal involved the illegal sale of weapons to Iran to encourage the release of U.S. hostages then held in Lebanon. North formulated the second part of the plan, which was to divert proceeds from the arms sales to support the Contra rebel groups in Nicaragua, which had been specifically prohibited under the Boland Amendment. North was granted limited immunity from prosecution in exchange for testifying before Congress about the scheme. - Wikipedia

    In a nutshell
    The Oliver North scandal, also known as the Iran-Contra affair, was a political scandal that unfolded in the United States during the 1980s. Oliver North, a United States Marine Corps officer, was a key figure in the scandal.
    In the mid-1980s, during the Reagan administration, a covert operation was carried out to sell arms to Iran, despite an arms embargo in place. The aim was to gain leverage to secure the release of American hostages held by Hezbollah in Lebanon. The profits from these arms sales were then diverted to support the Contras, a rebel group fighting the socialist Sandinista government in Nicaragua, even though there was a congressional ban on providing aid to the Contras.
    The scandal came to light in 1986 when a plane, carrying weapons for the Contras, was shot down inside Nicaragua. This event exposed the secret arms sales and the diversion of funds, leading to a public outcry. Congressional hearings were held, revealing the involvement of high-ranking officials, including Oliver North, who was a member of the National Security Council.
    Oliver North became a central figure due to his role in coordinating and overseeing the operation. He testified before Congress, admitting his involvement but claiming it was necessary for national security. North was later indicted on charges of conspiracy to defraud the United States, obstructing Congress, and accepting an illegal gratuity. However, those convictions were ultimately overturned on appeal due to immunity granted for his testimony.
    The Iran-Contra affair had significant political repercussions, tarnishing the Reagan administration and raising questions about the legality of U.S. foreign policy actions. It also led to a reevaluation of the balance of power between the executive branch and Congress in matters of national security.

      The truth is he was pulled out of the Pentagon and put in the White House to be a screen for POTUS 41 who was the VP at the time. Ronnie had nothing really to do with this Criminals In Action scheme. Funny thing is a cokehead from Arkansas who became POTUS 42 was recruited for this shady deal because of his love of snorting blow off of the cleavages of women with legal or financial problems in the Little Rock area. Information heard in the first person from a former Democrat governor of Georgia and several other members of a party I wholly despise.

      Shalom CCS This is the story we must repeat over and over to our children and grandchildren. The LA newspaper stumbled go g up on a big government scheme, and people had to die to maintain the secret. But only the US government could have created and disseminated a drug like crack cocaine to black and brown communities throughout this country in the manner it did and as fast as it did. Essentially the US government robbed young people of color of their livelihoods, voting rights, families, as well as their freedom and future. There are millions of people still trying to put their lives back together. And the gun violence is just another by-product of the crack culture.

      This is US Marine Corps Lt. Colonel Oliver North. He is a Vietnam war veteran and worked for President Ronald Reagan and Vice President George Bush Sr. on the National Security Council in the 1980s. The National Security Council is one of the most secretive US government organizations that advises the President on national security and military affairs . Its a small group of people,generals directors of the CIA, etc that meet with the President and Vice President to do clandestine secretive work in the US and all over the world. Oliver North was the commander of the Operational Sub Groups or "OSG" that did illegal cocaine production and smuggling in Central America, arming the anti communist "Contra" rebels in Honduras, selling arms to Iran.This is him testifying in Congress after these illegal operations were discovered by a newspaper reporter named Gary Webb in the 1980s. Oliver North is basically lying his ass off here for 2 hours misleading Congress and the public.
      By the way Gary Webb was found dead in a hotel with two gun shot wounds to the head. The police called it a suicide . I dont believe that

Kensington PA, Seattle I can go on and on. The face of drugs are no longer just black. You know what white folks in Kensington PA and certain parts in Philadelphia or doing drugs right in front of the cops and nothing is being done about it but when blackheads and black people were on drugs they were stopping and arresting them frisking them. Now they only stopped black people to see if they can get drugs off of me because you know what I believe a lot of them are on drugs. Are they required to take drug test like surprise drug test like bus drivers like truck drivers?

We were fighting communism. The Dems in DC didn't think we should be meddling in other countries and voted no to this much needed funding. I was a secretary who copied all the cables stating Sandanista atrocities and typed up many things to try to get support including publications we'd send to congress. I would read the Pentagon's daily foreign broadcasts and media stories to compose a one-page summary every morning that was distributed thru the dept and to WH speechwriters. I often answered the phone and there would be "Ollie". The office was put under the under-secy of Inter-American Affairs, Elliott Abrams. Sandinistas are bad and the dictator is still in charge there. Thanks to the Democrats who don't like to meddle??????

      Oliver North actually was an OSG commander at the National Security Council not just a liason officer. OSG stands for "operational sub groups". These are small groups of operatives that do illegal operations for the NSC all over the world such as assassinations, blackmail, arms dealing, drug smuggling, influencing foreign governments. North was their commander and a civilian but wore his old uniform for these hearings.

    Oliver North's wife wrote a letter of appeal to Nancy Reagan asking for the president to publicly support the work that North did for the Reagan Administration in Iran-Contra Affair. That North obeyed his commanders in the administration. The letter was never opened by Nancy so that she could deny that she ever knew anything about the Iran-Contra Affair activities and so could Ronald Reagan.

    // at the time of this brew haha i was on a high school student council and wanted to Use the same blueprint of all the way up the chain to Reagan in a theater (off drama dept's chain of control (shout out to how Oliver by passed the normal Dept chain)) of the LIFE routine.
    // i was Secretary (former Jr VP) at the time and there would be a 'Story that the Student Council used cash from activities to afford LUNCHES at Wendy's (this was back when dave was still alive)' and IT would come out that the Current JR Vp and Sr Vp (different dude) had been seen at wendy's and having 'wendy's classics' no one could tell if these two Vps had used their own coins.
    // one by one, each of the Vps would have to explain under some 'way' to the students/teachers IF they had and then there be Me and i would have to secretary out every note at every meeting i was at and if there had been Wendy's classics in attendance too
    // of course the President (i tried to sell the whole idea to Mike P during one of his early evening jogs around the block (nice block,, Varadi Ave in Brantford, Mr Walter G used to Live there (6 houses down from me, 15 down from Mike) RIP Walter )
    Squashed the Whole Idea so it never happened the classics did happen but no one would know how much the NEXT council spent LOL
    // it was a show and tell, with Casey dying with the secret that kept Alzheimer's patient reagan from a SEC 8 response to a Criminal charge /
    the old man never would have went to any Jail he could NOT even remember his name by '87 IT happens.
    Barry Seal is the real victim // that should NOT be forgotten Nor 4 given
