Edited this whole thread.
This is good.
Whistles blowing all over the place.
Is this just a Democratic hearing?
Can't tell yet.

1. OK, I guess he is a broadcaster.

Sounds like he might be on "our" side.
But still...whew.

2. He's a radio/tv broadcaster--that's why the sonorous voice

3. Thanks. I'll do a google.

4. This Hearing Is Awesome!

I have a feeling we're the only two or three people watching this, but it is revealing just some of the profiteering that's going on. This country should be shamed. Instead, the corporate media is showing JLo's ass and waiving the flag.

North is going into the strange radio network Cheap Channel, Salem, Sinclair and other pet GOOP broadcasters got their war profits from.

I don't know if I should be amazed at what I hear or sickened.

5. Is He Related To Ollie

Just wondering
:kick:

9. Doubtful...

He makes sense...LOL

Might not even be his original name.

I've been following this particular scam...the "Commander Solo" endeavors...and Mr. North was being diplomatic in what he was saying was going on. This was a pork-barrel pay-off to this regime's best media and broadcast buddies to make profits and stay on board with the war and the regime. Cheap Channel was hired to "consult" the building of these stations...and sent their own contractors...one being the American (sorry name escapes...it'll come back any second) who was beheaded last year who was working on radio transmitters and antennas. He was a former Cheap Channel employee.

Again, incredible how people can ignore not just the waste...most people have no clue what $1,000,000 dollars of waste means, yet $9,900,000,000 (it looks better when you put in all the zeros)...and how they're paying for this while their corporate masters take it to the bank.

8. This is great, he is talking about Custer Battles now and I....

was doing a search on them yesterday and found this, among other interesting tidbits on the two principals involved. This is a link to the papers filed in Virginia Court against Custer Battles and others on this exact issue. I am assuming the lawyer talking is part of this case:
