A guy at work (60 years old) told me none of this ever happened and that I am a conspiracy theorist. I remember this being all over the news as a little kid. Ignorance is bliss and we have sooo many ignorant people walking amongst us.

This is outstanding to watch! The entire story is sooo otherworldly almost impossible to believe and even though its here clear as day some still refuse to see what pur government is truly about.

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.

Barry Seal, Gary Web, Oliver North, George Bush Sr, Bill Clinton, Pablo Escobar, the Ochoas, Noreaga and many more.... this event linked so many people together

I once got Mr North's autograph in a bar that my mom worked at when I was 9,at the time I didn't understand, now I see 😂 WOW what a fantastic performance!

You post very significant and amazing things. I feel privileged and grateful as subscriber .

The biggest bunch of dignified liars ever assembled, hard to believe.

The LA newspaper reporter who began to investigate about the c-130 landing in the LA airport, and followed the vans that carried the black plastic boxes to a warehouse was killed after he wrote three articles. The black neighborhoods were flooded with cocaine a crack epidemic was spread in LA ghettos . The story about the LA reporter is on the internet.

Good one. Thanks. All of this, operating around Mena airport, Arkansas is the greatest story never told. Three successive presidents ran the largest drugs and weapon smuggling operation the world has ever known.

I remember always seeing him on the t.v. as a kid, Ollie North. I never knew what he was about and still don't.

thank you for this... you are doing god's work through your channel.

I remember my mom and I watching this while residing in Ft Riley Kansas…..Riveting… …..This video is gold! I love rewatching this!!!!!!!!!

Your library of films is fantastic. I’m frankly surprised KZfaq hasn’t censored many of them....

Definition of woke vs awake- Woke says bad white man- Awake realizes all of humanity is on the plantation

One thing that stands out is the crowded room and the click click click of all the camera's. Now these hearings are empty and only one or two photographers. Its like at that time the scandals were NEW and now the scandals are just yah oh well same ole same ole.

At 11 minutes no one can keep a straight face anymore. Curious reaction to the information being conveyed.

Classic 80s documentary 👌 👏

I was fascinated by these hearings. I’d rush home after school to watch.

Pablo Escobars Men in the "North"!

I thank you for being busy.

Yeah.. Oliver was on the political chopping block but protected through back door deals.. Your taking one for the team soldier..

SPOILER ALERT nothing happened to any of them

According to North, Iran-Contra was Israeli intelligence operative AmiramNir's idea. Ollie thought it was "a neat idea". Unfortunately Nir died before North's trial...and his personal papers and computers were stolen by Yaacov Nimrodi.

What was the point of the Fawn Hall segment. She ss just trying to make North look good. He is an obvious smooth talking narcissist who thinks he is in a action movie. Absolutely insane.

I remember this hearing when they happened! Wow

Drug dealer 👂

For a fella that was THROWN IN THE MEAT GRINDER for this, he sure was a stand-up officer in his testimony. That's more than I can say for today's top brass.

I'm a Nicaraguan born citizen of the US now, who is graceful of Mr. North and President Reagan for trying to liberate Nicaragua. We need people like him to defend us. Communist are here now.

I only ask, because I would have liked you to rephrase it. However, I sincerely thank you for your service.

I would be angry if you were found abandoned while resting or otherwise. I would say "Seek Your Vengeance." I needed to get that out. Thank you for your time.

what pissed off the CORPS was that he left the green machine to get a job at the NSC as a military liaison officer and when the shit hit the fan instead of falling on his sword like the old water gate plumbers ( g Gordon Liddy andthe boys went to prison) , he goes to court in full uniform and talks like a yellow canary

Criminal

The CIA wanted to used him as a escape goat in the cover ops .He did what he was told to do by the highest ranks , but when things went wrong in Nicaragua and a CIA contractor aircraft was taken down loaded with weapons by Ortega’s soldiers the press made it public.

'Miss Hall, are you the one who chose to name Col. North's Swiss bank account "B. Button?" '...What I would:ve asked ...

Supporting the Monroe doctrine.

Maury vOice "Ollie north...YOU ARE...THE FALL GUY"🤣😂🤣😂

I remember watching this in US history class

I remember all of this, especially Ltc North's attempts to hide behind the flag and his appeals to the public's patriotism. He is the opposite of a hero.

By the way this isn’t a documentary it’s a video of the actual hearings of the Iran-contra senate hearings with the main culprit oli North..I’d think a documentary has narrations..

fast forward to the present, this crook is still living his best life! what a joke!

Can you imagine this hearing today? With the internet and social media

North set a standard for an officer that few have met since.

7 million dollars 40 years ago is equivalent of 1 billion $ today.............

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.

Get the book Project Hammer, which it explains on this topic and leads up into 9/11

Such inquires should not be aired in pubic,its an in-house situation that needs dealing with amongst friends

I wonder if he was the real voice inspiration behind Christian Bale’s American Psycho 🤔

Traitor

This is when shit hit the fan.................

This guy deadass got away with treason

2 minutes in and Oliver North admits to 'documents that would put americans in (harm's way)'. well, Oliver u r the reason Barry Seal was killed two movies post RIP Barry Seal. // 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 May bee a Minute Man will Tell Time 4 Oliver and a North of the Lights type by using that WMD known as the Hoax God Bless the Minute Men that do endure and risk their lives to Purge them that would defy Article 1 S 8 P1 during war time, as per President Andrew Jackson. thanks for the upload i actually jogged for 40 minutes to sell that Crazy way out of WHY would U wanrt to do that ? i was bored being a paper pushed and wanted some Conspiracy and Public Trials and Hearings Consumption had Taken Place at Wendy's (or at least at Dave's) ass 4 oliver he is anti NRA now go figure

Daniel Inouye is 100 percent class

The way to Montgomery, Alabama Heart is to sue them straight

OMG I lived thru this. I was just 27 yrs old having my first son married to a man that was a great provider but a not good husband. And I didn't really pay attention to this. My bad

According to American Dad Reagan should have been in jail too

Truth

I watched this, i was 16 years old.

Oliver North , thats how I roll around 😮. *drizzy*

So when do they start talking about the "death trains"?

War criminal crook

I took cards and photos. I wanted to make a memory book of a beautiful legacy. I wanted to surprise you. I read one card I remember. I want to say it is important to have people who sometimes offend truthfully. Simply because too many people are eager to join an entourage.

Ollie isn’t the criminal, his superiors from Reagan on down. I wonder when the actual files pertaining to this tribunal will come to light. Hopefully at the same time the Kennedy files become declassified.

I was in Sand Dog in navy 86 to 88 and crystal meth was rampant and lots of white skin powder toot dealers.

Professional liar !!!!!

North should have done prison time.

They were untouchable...

This is pure theatre

Because the eyes are jealous. Because the eyes are greedy. Because I have found them to be these things, I won't look at you all.

❤

@11:10

How did he and the EX California governor avoid 20 years at Leavenworth?

Damn that Asian guy has a deep voice. What’s his name

When the Robert Mcfarlane group went to Tehran, they all took presents. Mcfarlane had the Bible signed and dedicated by Reagan for the Ayatollah. Amiram Nir brought a kosher cake shaped like a key. North brought 8 nickel plated Colt revolvers. Ghorbanifar was the escort, so no gift needed. But what did Howard Teicher bring?

Whatever happened to Fawn Hall?

Gary Webb exposed them all in dark alliance

I thought that this was actual video footage of the trial only not your opinion or facts that you feel irrelevant. Thank you for your video post

"Trading powder back and forth Black goes south and white comes north"

C.I.A HAS NEVER HATE ANY(POLITICAL SCAND).

He is my best friends grandpa

Thats why they gave me a shredder!

Watched it live. Who wants to watch this show again. Not me

They threw him under the entire fleet of buses.

You can't handle the truth.

That council’s comb over is distracting

We don't negotiate

There is a lie being told but few will know what that lie is. Gary Web new and it cost him his life,

The tour 🎉

This mfr is the reason Barry Seal got killed..

The chickens have come home to roost 2021

He was just a fall guy

ollie is overselling it

Sounds like what you guys call price gouging

He was involved

True patriot!

Ollie is GREAT. He handled the investigation perfectly.

/ some claim he is actually Peter north’s cousin

*You wood think due was a private🙄* a good actor

I was 8 years old back here. Grandfather had just retired and would watch me and my sister cuz Mom was back in school getting her masters and I remember him telling me what a hero Ollie was. He was a WW2 vet, former POW and 32nd degree Mason

I We appreciate this , Abdul QADAR MUHAMMAD

North is a criminal; pardoned... but still a criminal. Snowden is a hero.
