Viral of the weekend: 1987

How many of you remember 1987? It was a time of mullets, big hair, day-go clothes. The Cosby show was the most popular show on TV, Bands like Guns' N Roses and Metallica were at the height of their popularity. The economy was was soaring and the decade of the "misery idex" was long forgotten. Reagan was President and there was a long forgotten scuffle on capitol hill known as "The Iran-Contra scandal" where an American hero and prophet whom we know as Lt. Col Ollie North was being grilled over his hawkish National Security stance. So you tell me, did history prove him right?

Do you remember 1987......

It was 1987! At a lecture the other day they were playing an old news video of Lt.Col. Oliver North testifying at the Iran-Contra hearings during the Reagan Administration.

There was Ollie in front of God and country getting the third degree, but what he said was stunning!

He was being drilled by a senator, "Did you not recently spend close to $60,000 for a home security system?"
Ollie replied, 'Yes, I did, Sir..'

The senator continued, trying to get a laugh out of the audience, "Isn't that just a little excessive?"

"No, sir," continued Ollie.

"No? And why not?" the senator asked.

"Because the lives of my family and I were threatened, sir." replied Ollie

'Threatened? By whom?" the senator questioned..
"By a terrorist, sir" Ollie answered.
"Terrorist? What terrorist could possibly scare you that much?" asked the senator.

"His name is Osama bin Laden, sir" Ollie replied.
At this point the senator tried to repeat the name, but couldn't pronounce it, which most people back then probably couldn't. A couple of people laughed at the attempt. Then the senator continued.."Why are you so afraid of this man?" the senator asked.

"Because, sir, he is the most evil person alive that I know of", Ollie answered.

"And what do you recommend we do about him?" asked the senator.
"Well, sir, if it was up to me, I would recommend that an assassin team be formed to
eliminate him and his men from the face of the Earth." said Ollie

The senator disagreed with this approach, and that was all that was shown of the clip.

By the way, that senator was Al Gore! a.k.a. THE GORACLE

Also: Terrorist pilot Mohammad Atta blew up a bus in Israel in 1986.

The Israelis captured, tried and imprisoned him.

As part of the Oslo agreement with the Palestinians in 1993, Israel had to agree to release so-called "political prisoners." However, the Israelis would not release any with blood on their hands..The American President at the time, Bill Clinton, and his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, "insisted" that all prisoners be released. Thus Mohammad Atta was freed and eventually thanked us by flying an airplane into Tower One of the World Trade Center. This was reported by many of the American TV networks at the time that the terrorists were first identified.

It was censored in the US from all later reports.

If you agree that the American public should be made
aware of this fact, pass this on.
