Anybody ever read about Gary Webb

In 1996, Gary Webb, a writer for the San Jose Mercury News, published a series of articles known as “Dark Alliance.” The articles detailed how the CIA turned a blind eye as Nicaraguan drug traffickers sold and distributed crack cocaine in Los Angeles throughout the 1980s. It also described how the Reagan administration protected drug dealers from prosecution.According to Webb, the CIA allowed the traffickers to ship large amounts of drugs into the country because the profits were being used to fund the Reagan-supported Contras (a rebel group opposing the socialist Sandinista government in Nicaragua).Naturally, insinuating the crack cocaine epidemic of the ’80s was*partially caused by the government*was a controversial stance—especially when the Reagan administration was already tainted by the Iran-Contra affair. Because of this, Webb’s articles were initially viewed with contempt by the government and his fellow journalists. Speaking out caused him to lose his position at San Jose Mercury News and he was never able to find a job writing daily news again.In 2004, he was found dead with two gunshot wounds to the head. The official cause of death was considered suicide. Although Webb’s family is confident his depression and inability to find a job drove him to suicide, there are many who believe he was murdered.Unfortunately, Webb was not vindicated until after his death, as recent internal investigations and declassified documents have affirmed his Dark Alliance reports.

yeah he started that now infamous claim that the CIA purposely unleashed(or allowed) crack cocaine into Black neighborhoods


you really need to read the opposing view on the stories


the thing is that when his story was published the major newspapers had articles basically discrediting his whole argument which a lot of people found a little funny

Two gunshot wounds to the head? How could that be a suicide? Don't you die after the initial gunshot to the head? :lupe:

The worst time to see ghost and stuff when you are completely not expecting it, at a hospital they can be spooky places causing you to look over your shoulder, but doing IT work:whoa:
