The Case Against DynCorp - Part I: The Iran/Contra ScandalsteemCreated with Sketch.

DynCorp

This is part of an on-going series to catalogue and report major criminal and unethical activities of DynCorp. A complete collection of known findings can be found on the Pizzagate Wiki's DynCorp page.

I figured it most appropriate to start with one of DynCorp's earliest scandals. Few people know, but DynCorp played an instrumental role in the Iran/Contra Scandal of the 1980s.

The enterprise Eagle Aviation Services and Technology, Inc. –EAST-, subcontracted by DynCorp, helped lieutenant colonel Oliver North, during the Iran-Contra scandal in the 1980’s, transport weapons and munitions for the Nicaraguan Contras in their fight against the Sandinista government.

In the 1980s, EAST and its founder, Richard Gadd, helped North, then a National Security Council official, secretly supply weapons and ammunition to Nicaragua's Contra rebels at a time that Congress had banned the government from providing lethal aid.

Stoked you joined steemit, I can tell you that your contributions are helping to breathe more life into the topic here. Keep it up, who knows maybe we'll reach a critical mass sooner than you think.

That's certainly the hope and thanks! At the very least this info is now starting to get organized more meaningfully and sources archived, but I am growing quite attached to this place as I imagine many will.

Good stuff! I've been investigating the Clinton's since the 90's si I've come across DynCorp before. Thanks for posting and welcome to Steemit! Upvoted & followed!

Thank you kindly and keep up the good fight!

Us rebels here in Arkansas ain't too fond of the Clintons!
