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."
"Threatened?
By whom?"
the senator
questioned.
"By
a terrorist,
sir"
Ollie answered.
"Terrorist?
What terrorist
could possibly
scare you
that much?"
"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."
The
senator
disagreed
with this
approach,
and that
was all
that was
shown of
the clip.
By
the way,
that senator
was Al Gore!
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
the 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 U.S.
from all
later reports.
