Gary Webb, who wrote Dark Allaince that exposed the CIA funneling cocaine to the streets that led to the crack epidemic, was found dead, and his death ruled a suicide. Gary was really determined to die, he shot himself twice in the back of the head.

I remember towards the end of Obama's first term like 4-5 CIA/DEA agents getting arrested for smuggling coke into the country.

webb exposed the fact that the dea/cia was getting information from some narcos who were smuggling drugs into the states, and that a dea or cia operative squashed a few charges for those narcos.

he never even claimed that “the cia is smuggling drugs into inner cities” or that there was a plot to addict americans to drugs.

i’m an anti-drug war leftist who has no love for the government, but the whole webb story is so blown out of proportion on the internet it’s become a fairytale.
