Remembering Gary Webb by MixMasterE


Gary Webb, the Pulitzer-prize winning journalist who exposed evidence that the CIA supported the importation of cocaine into the United States which fueled the crack-cocaine epidemic in many US cities in the 80's/90's, died less than a year ago from an apparent suicide. His book, 'Dark Alliance" was blistering and sent shockwaves through the African-American community and sparked rallies, protests, and demonstrations. What African-Americans knew all along was vindicated by congressional investigations and two CIA Inspector General's reports released in 1997 and 1998.

This is no aberration. This twisted involvememt goes all the way back to 1947 when the CIA was formed. If this sounds like some vacuous conspiracy theory, perhaps a more mainstream source can aid in this matter: The Congressional Record:
