The guy on the left was a US Marine Lt. Colonel who was arrested and convicted for selling missiles to Iran.

@draken reading this post without any context seeing it randomly on the federated timeline i thought this was some conspiracy shit until i saw one of the replies connecting the sales to the manufactured War On Drugs and then i looked at the pictures again and recognized the name

@draken

The very fact that man is on TV giving opinions on anything is EXACTLY what is wrong with the United States.

No matter the crime, they always have to be resurrected by someone instead of just relegating them to the "made bad choices, cannot be trusted ever again" pile.

His whole life amounts to being a used ziploc baggie.
DeadReagan would be proud you still carry other people's runny shit without spilling a drop, Ollie.

@draken lol at least he knows what he is talking about.
USamericans keep recycling their felons.

@draken
The Reagan years were cray-cray, but not as much as these few recent years.

@draken Oh man Ollie North looks like he has been ridden hard and put away wet

[ilka4you@mastodon.social]

@yamabikko @draken he is the USamerican posterboy, just missing rape & child abuse and he could have become president: "Charges & Verdict: Indicted on 16 counts, North was found guilty on three: aiding and abetting the obstruction of a Congressional inquiry, destroying National Security Council (NSC) documents, and accepting an illegal gratuity (a security system for his home). He was acquitted on other charges, including the diversion of funds for personal use."

[jpellis2008@dragonscave.space]

@prism @draken Didn't know he was still alive.

@Ilka4You @yamabikko
That is an interesting question. Could North be in the Epstein files, too?

[prism@infosec.exchange]

@jpellis2008 @draken Fox keeps him well stocked with adrenochrome. It's in his contract.

@purrperl
according to the wiki
"He was initially convicted on three felony charges, but the convictions were vacated and reversed and all charges against him dismissed in 1991, on the grounds of immunity."

@catflyhigh @purrperl
Yeah, because the dickhead in the White House at the time was pardoning everyone else involved in Iran-Contra.

Brings back memories of wishing adults would just please stop listening to those hearings. On the radio. On TV. Endless.

@draken He did that in the same decade that the USA sold Iraq chemical weapons to use against Iran and the Kurds. Amazingly, just a few years later we tried to find the weapons of mass destruction we sold them and came up empty. Meanwhile, millions of Iraqi and Iranians died.

@draken

Disgusting to see that he is on TV at all even if it is Fox "news" (they've hired so many terrible people)
