I live in Nicaragua near a town that was renamed after the Contra affair to the Spanish word for ghost. Huge cemeteries around the area. There are mass graves scattered about like Indian mounds with a marker to say that the mound is a mass grave. One man I know said he was around 9 years old when this happened. He said the CIA came in and game him and other kids cocaine and automatic weapons and told him to shoot anything that moved. He was a kid and did it. Another friend saw his aunt’s house blown up. Another (actually a bunch) had their schools close because of the fighting, so there is now an entire group that has little to no education. A lot of them end up in Costa Rica to work as gardeners or domestic servants. On my own property we have found pieces of weapons,shells, soles of boots, belt buckles all remains from someone that died on that spot. Innocent people. It is truly despicable what Reagan and his cronies did. No regard for human life whatsoever. So ashamed my tax dollars helped pay for this atrocity.

Why I asked my only superior why we fund both sides, he replied "That way no matter who wins, they owe us" The eventual 'winner' thinks we hated the other side, and secretly helped them win, has no idea we funded the other team too.

I actually learned about this back in the day by American dad and their Oliver north song. I mentioned this to my history teacher and he really liked about how I knew about this. We later talked about other not talked about topics like this and he was asked to stop by the school for being "unpatriotic" and was shut down by the district after saying no. But the Ollie north song taught me to never trust what the government says on the surface. Someone is always making money off of your own suffering.

Regan was the very definition of a hypocrite, one who lined his and his buddies pockets while inner cities and lower income areas all across the nation got flooded with the very drugs he claimed he was going to war to protect us from. The fact that whole scandal isn’t at the forefront of everyone’s educational background in this country is flabbergasting but also totally on brand. Hope you’re resting in peace, Ronald.

I knew we had sanctions against Iran but it clearly said that these parts are going to Iran in exchange for something.. I asked the COW- chief of the watch who is a Senior Chief.. as I approached his desk I said chief don't we have sanctions against Iran he took the message from me oh surprise read it and shook his head and said Draper don't ask don't tell process it.. and I did to the air boss and the Air Wing I knew them that Reagan was guilty of crimes and watch the whole proceedings that were later televised and it was b*******.. at that point I was very disappointed in our government and country..

Or maybe the reason It "won't be uncovered until later" is because it's not actually happening anymore? Almost like the US government learned that Americans dont want their government make beneficial, but shady geopolitical moves even if theyre in the US' best interest, if it results in bad things being done? Oh by the way, the US has overthrown 1 government in the past 21 years: Libya 2013. Iran, China and Russia have overthrown or started wars in 15 countries since 2013. Potentially over 20 or 30 if you want to count China's silent infiltrations of governments worldwide some of which could be silent coups.
5:02 I immediately started screaming *”Ollie North, Ollie North!”* Amazing how much you can learn from cartoons.
man this video wouldve come in really handy if i found it while writing a paper on Reagan and Iran Contra. great tertiary source
I didn’t forget, and I consider Reagan to be a borderline traitor.

This was such a rad and interesting video. Lease do more like this!
Great work, man. It's amazing how truths like this get always swept under the carpet as opposed to shit like the Depp-Heard trial which receivess daily coverage worldwide. It's definitely true that the Wall Street-owned media rules public opinion.
Just found your Chanel love the content keep it up bro 🎉
Great content like always buddy!
Nice video Dantavius, your content always manages to entertain me, I wish you luck and that you will one day rise to 1mil.
Very enjoyable commentary. Thank you.
Wow. So enlightening. Thank you.
This was such a well researched video.
You always drop videos when im having a bad day ur the man dan😂🤣🤣
So this is what the TV show " Snowfall" is sort of based on. Wow!!!
I love how we can just share stuff like this
I think you're right. Real conspiracy is ignored.
Dantavius, I only just discovered your channel a few weeks ago but you're already shaping up to be my new favorite KZreadr, keep the good content coming! Fuck Franklin
I heard about Oliver North and the Iran-Contra Affair from a Jay-Z song. _"Blame Oliver North and Iran-Contra, I ran contraband they sponsored"_
15:19 "poppy da chemical weapons" BUSHMASTER 😂😂😂
Wow, I'm surprised you didn't mention Gary Webb. He was the journalist who first reported on this. R.I.P. Gary Webb
"They weren't exactly Ben Franklins" bro Ben Franklin was no saint lol
5:04 is some catchy School House Rock! Nice.
Good video but my AP US History class spent about a month on this scandal and the Raegan era in my senior year of high school. They definitely teach this.
Yessir new video from daddy Dantavius
This reminds me of the Ollie North skit from American Dad

Didn't know about this in any kind of detail until that episode of American Dad. Wild how stuff is swept under the wlrug.
“And got away with it” like anybody would try to stop them lmao
I was never thought any of this in school, nor am I the type of person to spend time researching politics, since I find it boring and it sours my mood. I can’t talk about something I never knew. And I’m assuming most Americans are the same as me: We are more preoccupied with the issues in our daily lives, and we don’t desire to spend our short amount of leisure on problems we have little to no control over. It’s videos like this that at least let me know that politicians and the government are always to be looked at with skepticism and mistrust.

Did you take US History in high school? It's a standard part of the AP US History curriculum
Ghorbanifar was TRULY on that SIGMA GRINDSET.
As a Nicaraguan it’s insane having one of my favorite youtubers talk about our history lol
Great breakdown of the Iran Contra scandal.
W KZreadr you deserve more love 🙃🙏
And why are they not showing this video in history classes? I learned more about this now than I ever did anything in school... And I'm 41 years old 😂

I tell you why, because of all the people they don't want you to know about and like that lovely Colombia cocaine and a cult in South Korea.
i very much love how much footage from war dogs he used. feels fitting
Holy shit, I could listen to you for hours... Subscribed!
Be nice if you mentioned the devastation those drug's did to inner city communities and black American families overall!!!
