Heard about him in Killer Mike’s Reagan song. Great song
Oliver North, a retired Marine Lieutenant Colonel, played a key role in the Iran-Contra affair, a major political scandal during the Reagan administration. He was involved in the sale of weapons to Iran, with the profits being diverted to support the Contras in Nicaragua, despite a congressional ban on funding the Contras.
Ollie North. Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.
I wish I was so lucky.
Not that he wasn’t guilty, but Reagan was and Ollie was the sacrificial war hawk.
Yeah, that’s when a lot of people learned the term “plausible deniability.”
Ollie North is also the face of the US government’s war on Central American democracy, the brutal consequences of which affect the Americas to this day.
You can’t mention Ollie North without linking this banger
