332 Gary Webb and the Dark Alliance Between the CIA and The Cocaine Cowboys
Manage episode 377859586 series 2373767
We all know about the drug "CRACK". If you're around our age you're also aware of the effects that drug had in our communities (particularly African American communities).
What if I told you this epidemic was an unfortunate result of the CIA turning a blind eye to Nicaraguan drug traffickers bringing TONS of cocaine in to America to help fund the CIA backed Contras in their country? Seems far fetched right?
Well thanks to investigative journalist Gary Webb's research and 3-part article titled "Dark Alliance" this became more "Conspiracy Fact" than "Conspiracy theory" .
There would be tremendous blow back by the Federal Government as well as well as the mainstream media who black ball Gary from the industry and lead him to his untimely suicide....or murder....
