What's October 23 got to do with anything?

Aye, it's an excellent innovation. The guy in NZ who is using LIDAR is, I think, using drones for surveying. I am quite blown away by what he's up to and the results he is getting. Achieving a similar thing from a satellite is an impressive scaling of things.

Who has supported that regime, Dave? Overview of the Iran-Contra Affair The Iran-Contra affair was a major U.S. political scandal during the Reagan administration in the 1980s, involving secret and illegal government operations that connected two seemingly unrelated foreign policy crises: the sale of arms to Iran and the funding of Contra rebels in Nicaragua1246. The Two Main Components 1. Arms Sales to Iran The U.S. secretly sold weapons to Iran, despite an arms embargo and the country's designation as a state sponsor of terrorism156. The official justification was to secure the release of American hostages held by Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed group in Lebanon125. The arms sales were facilitated through intermediaries, including Israel, and were not authorized by Congress15. 2. Funding the Contras in Nicaragua In Nicaragua, the leftist Sandinista government had come to power in 1979, alarming the Reagan administration, which feared the spread of communism in Central America246. The U.S. Congress passed the Boland Amendments (1982-1984), which prohibited direct or indirect U.S. military aid to the Contra rebels fighting the Sandinistas1245. Despite the ban, officials in the Reagan administration diverted proceeds from the Iran arms sales to fund the Contras, circumventing Congress1456. Key Figures Mugshot of Oliver L.

Oliver North: National Security Council aide, central in managing the secret operations and later became the public face of the scandal56. William Casey: CIA Director, instrumental in developing the plan56. John Poindexter and Bud McFarlane: National Security Advisors involved in authorizing and overseeing the operations56. Exposure and Aftermath President Reagan received the Tower Commission Report in the White House Cabinet Room in 1987, with John Tower and Edmund Muskie wikipedia The scandal broke publicly in November 1986 when a Lebanese newspaper revealed the arms-for-hostages deal56. Subsequent investigations, including the Tower Commission and Congressional hearings, uncovered the full extent of the illegal activities and led to indictments and convictions for several key officials56. President Reagan’s administration faced severe criticism, a decline in public approval, and lasting questions about executive power and accountability6. Significance The Iran-Contra affair highlighted: The dangers of secret government operations that bypass legal and democratic oversight. The tension between the executive and legislative branches over foreign policy. The willingness of officials to violate both domestic and international law in pursuit of policy goals1246. The scandal remains one of the most serious breaches of U.S. law and trust in presidential history, with long-term impacts on American politics and foreign policy6.
