 Card number 15. Card number 15. Let's check this out. N-E-P-L Presidents Controthon. Controthon was special guest lieutenant colonel all over North. Carl Spitz channel. Card number 15. Contra fundraiser Carl Spitz channel. In 1985, Carl Spitz channel, Chanel channel, and his associate Richard Miller began to raise money for the Contras from wealthy American conservatives. For this purpose, they created a network of tax-exempt foundations with innocent sounding names such as the National Endowment for the Preservation of Liberty, N-E-P-L, and International Business Communication, IBC. The standard fundraising session, the one-two punch, began with a slide presentation by Oliver North which portrayed the Contras as virtuous but poorly equipped freedom fighters battling the godless Sandinistas Marxist Leninists. Then Chanel would conclude the event by detailing the specific needs of the Contras including military needs and would arrange White House briefings for contributors who sometimes got to meet the president if the donation was large enough. Chanel and Miller were not very efficient fundraisers. Large amounts of money were used to lease expensive offices, rent limousines, throw lavish parties, and pay high salaries to themselves and others. Of the ten million dollars they raised only seven four point seven million went to the Contras. One million was used for pro-contra publicity and advertisements in Contra aid swing vote districts. In 1987, Chanel and Miller were convicted of defrauding the IRS using tax-exempt monies for illegal contributions of lethal, lethal aid to the Contras. Some of the peons getting thrown to the wolves. Carl Spitz. Carl Spitz. Let's look at Ollie's face. Look at this. Look at that big smile on the gap in his teeth. I bet he could whistle like mad.
