Thank you
Thank you SOTT for bringing this story back to the fore front. Gary Webb is a forgotten hero, he did this story as a 3 part series for the San Jose Mercury News. After publishing the first part of the series, the publisher for reasons unknown to us, decided against publishing the rest of the series, and Mr. Webb was forced to publlish a book, to get the story out.

Quote of the Day
The course of life and labour reminds me of a long journey I once took on the railway. Suddenly, there was a breakdown ahead, and passengers took the event in various ways. Some of them sat still resignedly, and never said a word. Others again, went to sleep. But some of us leaped out of that train, and ran on ahead to clear the road of all obstructions.
- Michael Collins

I just finished reading Gary Webb's stunning 600 page expose of the CIA/DEA efforts in flooding the inner cities of the US with crack - to finance the CONTRA war in Nicaragua... against another legitimately elected government. Webb's investigative journalism is impeccable, and is a most complementary read to L. Fletcher Prouty's, The Secret Team. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking the objective realities of our world. For Webb's efforts, he was blacklisted by the print media. In 2005 he was found in his hotel room, having committed suicide by way of two gunshot wounds to the head.
Another complimentary piece is John Pilger's excellent documentary film, The War on Democracy. [Link]am watching it today. I will need a hot shower afterward. The Central and South American CIA station chief's interviews have left a sheen of vileness on me.
