Greetings

I am a big fan of the Gary Webb story and the US Constitution. The US Constitution as well as the Canadian Charter of Rights and the Irish Proclamation protect civl liberty in a free republic. That freedom is under fire not from a foreign enemy but from enemies within.

The Gary Webb Story

Gary Webb was an award winning investigative journalist from the San Jose Mercury News who published a pivotal series exposing the CIA's involvement with the US Crack epidemic in the 1980's called Dark Alliance. He received bitter opposition from the mainstream media just like Dan Rather did which was portrayed in the movie Truth with Cate Blanchett and Robert Redford.

After he lost his job Gary Webb documented everything in a comprehensive book also called Dark Alliance. He then ended up dying of a suspicious suicide. He shot himself in the head twice. Jeremy Renner from the Avengers played Gary Webb in the movie about his life called Kill the Messenger.

The Gary Webb story went viral when he first published his series of articles online. It created an uproar in LA where they had been plagued by the crack epidemic. John Deutch, the Director of the CIA at the time held a public meeting to do damage control. At that meeting former LAPD officer Mike Ruppert spoke up and said as a former LAPD officer I can tell you that the Agency has been trafficking drugs in this country for years. He claimed they had tried to recruit him and when he refused he was chased out of the force. After running a blog From the Wilderness he too died of a suspicious suicide.

Former DEA agent Cele Castillo spoke up to confirm the Gary Webb story. He claimed he complained about the CIA's involvement with cocaine trafficking in El Salvador but nothing was done about it. After he went public he ended up in jail for selling guns at a gun show without a proper license.

Gary Webb was not the first person to expose the CIA's involvement with drug trafficking. In his own book Dark Alliance Gary Webb admits Bob Parry broke the story years prior and it was confirmed by the Kerry Committee. Gary Webb found where the CIA's cocaine went after it arrived in the US. Freeway Ricky had no idea he was selling crack for the CIA at the time and was shocked to find out after he was incarcerated. Freeway Ricky's role in the CIAs drug trafficking network was portrayed in the movie Crack in the System.

Yet as the popular youtube video entitled Crack the CIA declares, the CIA's drug trafficking began before Nicaragua. It began in Vietnam. Bo Gritz confirmed that. In fact, the CIA created the Golden Triangle and crashed the Nugan Hand bank in Australia just like how the CIA crashed the BCCI.

Not only did war hero Bo Gritz confirm the CIA were drug trafficking in Vietnam but Terry Reed wrote a book all about it called Compromised: Bush, Clinton and the CIA. The movie Air America with Mel Gibson and Robert Downey JR was a comedy about a corrupt CIA running drugs in Vietnam. Unfortunately it was based on a true story as explained by Terry Reed.

Judge Bonner complained that the CIA brought a plane loaded with a ton of cocaine into Florida when he was head of the DEA. The CIA repeatedly denied it until he went on 60 minutes and documented everything. Then the CIA finally admitted it but said it was an accident because they were trying to track where the cocaine was going even though they made absolutely no attempt to track where the cocaine went after it arrived in the United States.

In 2013 the CIA was caught bringing a plane loaded with 24 ton of cocaine into Miami. This time they didn't even deny it. They claimed it was slated for destruction. Why bring it all the way to Miami to destroy it That just didn't make sense.

Operation Fast and Furious shows us that Iran Contra never stopped and that the CIA's involvement with drug trafficking is still a huge concern. What the CIA learned from the judge Bonner story was the only way to shut up the DEA was to infiltrate it.
