    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.

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.

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..

    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.

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.
