The Man Who Exposed The Crips, Bloods & CIA Connection to Crack Cocaine - Gary Webb

  • Опубліковано 16 вер 2024
  • In 1996, investigative journalist Gary Webb wrote a series of stories exposing the connection between the CIA and the crack cocaine that was being sold in South Central Los Angeles during the 1980s. These stories caused outrage everywhere, but the government denied the allegations and competing news outlets claimed the series was poorly written and contained false reports. But years later, it was revealed that the information written in Gary Webb's series was true.

      The “war on drugs” is not a war on drugs… it’s a tool. To make money, to threaten, to give the public a sense of security, to control a part of the elite, those who order the war are customers themselves…. No drugs are ever “really stopped” only given to arrest for the numbers and statistics. I bet drugs have never been “out of stock”, ever.

      Let me clarify something, the Reagans were clueless about what the spooks were doing.
      Certain people in certain places do stuff that is mostly beyond knowledge of most people that go through the White House.
      If you see the connections in certain federal agencies and what they've done recently you'll see that many times doesn't matter who's in office. They'll even help remove or keep people from getting into office. Just look back to the 60's and follow the crumbs.

    There is a very good reason why people in the CIA won't come forward with illegal activities that they come across while doing their job.
    On my first day on the job, it was mostly briefings on how things work and how to deal with issues that you might think are inappropriate. We were told that, if we came across something questionable, to report it to superiors.
    One day, that's what happened, and I went to my Division Chief with my concerns. His response was to suggest that I meet with the Inspector General and explain what I knew, and that's what I did. They told me that there was no truth to what I was telling them and within a few days, it seemed that everyone knew that I was a snitch. That's when the hazing began and within a few months, I submitted my resignation. Within a matter of weeks, the story came-out in the press. What I had told them was true, but it ruined my career. I was even cast as a Soviet Agent and followed for years.

      Well when I was going to join the CIA I understand there’s a fine line between what is American freedom and world freedom it’s a machine kinda like when the bodies own immune response fights against itself, but over all it’s trying to help
      You should know just what is done for the safety of the American infrastructure. Good or bad ,
      But the problem is it’s human beings are simply never as smart as we wish to believe..... maybe more people should embrace the idea of don’t get mad get even .... if just the CIA does even if it seems bad .... is nothing any other country would do to us or others if they had a chance,
      Now through the years have we become the monsters we once opposed, maybe their minds was wrong but their hearts are right does that make a difference?????
      Maybe the souls of the forgotten can answer with the fall of empires that rust away with time from evil deeds .

And the government at every turn used Black people as their scapegoats, because they banked on White America's distrust and angst towards Blacks to fuel their desires to see justice done at the furthest extent of the law. Without questioning the validity of what they were witnessing as accurate. It's at the heart of Dan Baum's "Legalize it All" article in 2016.

      Journalism is fine now. The Journalism that is bad now is conservative FoxNews, Newsmax, America One, and Sinclair News Stations. Ignorant people like to refer to the rest of the News as liberal media. It's not the liberal media. It's the media. Conservatives who don't like what the media are reporting call it "the liberal media." Let's give a example. Donald Trump is the head conservative Republican. He is a lifelong molesterer of women, a lifelong pathological liar, a lifelong horrible businessman, a lifelong launderer if Russian Oligarchs/Mafia money through his hotels, a lifelong Prima Donna who never admits failure while consistantly failing, and nation wide Republucans love him. Republicans think Trump is a great businessman because they saw him on the Apprentice Reality TV Show. The first rule of Reality TV Shows is they have nothing to do with Reality. Show me a person who loves pro wrestling (which is all fake!) and I'll show you a Republican.
      Republicans support a lifelong pathological liar for President of the U.S. and watch a "NEWS" Channel (FoxNews) that just paid $787.5 million for knowingly lying to it's audience for over 2 years that the 2020 election was stolen.

    I remember this story. I actually created a subtitle file for a film version of "Kill the Messenger" a few years ago. Such a terrible tragedy. Nowadays I find myself wondering in aw how it ever came to be that the general public can consent to operations involving such deceit at the highest levels of government to operate time after time after time. That United States war machine with the CIA and NATO alongside seem always to be stirring the pot somewhere and paying journalists to betray their ethics and misrepresent facts so as to create a bias with which further consent for further unethical operations might be manufactured. I first noticed it when I was nine or ten years old during the Gulf War, Desert Storm, all of that, and it's been happening over and over again ever since and from what I've read, has been happening time and time again for at least a century. When are we going to stop allowing ourselves to be manipulated by these groups of bad actors? When are we collectively going to regain our individual self-respect and study the information given to us with the same reverence for the truth that Gary Webb wrote with? Surely willful ignorance can't be the preference of the majority. If we want our kids and their kids to live in a brighter, safer world without restrictive borders and hateful prejudices, we have to stop allowing power to deceive and manipulate us. It's a no-brainer.

Never call it what law enforcement call it. Because in law, it's what you say. law enforcement would call it a arrest and if they find out years later your innocent, they call it a false arrest. Here's why
    is kidnapping a federal crime ?
    Section 1201 of Title 18 of the United States Code codifies the extremely serious federal crime of kidnapping. As stated, while most cases are most often prosecuted under the laws of the 50 states, it can also be a federal crime in certain circumstances, carrying a potential life sentence or even the death penalty.

    Absolutely UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Can’t be deprived of property w/out due process

    Creepy and sad how all of the other mouthpiece “journalists” dove on Gary immediately.

    Back in the 90's there was a older couple that had a large piece of property above the Camarillo Plains (north of Los Angeles, CA) in the Santa Monica Mountains. The National Park Service offered to buy their land on numerous occasions, but the couple declined.
    Supposedly, the man had been seen on numerous occasions buying things in Malibu with $100 bills and the authorities used this specious "evidence" to get a search warrant for his property which was raided by multiple agencies early one morning.
    The man, hearing a commotion outside his home (it's dark outside) came to the door with a firearm and the officers shot and killed him. The search turned up nothing illegal...
    This is our government coveting the land (To add to Santa Monica National Recreation Area) the couple owned; wanting to seize it using the laws at the time and killed an innocent man in the process. Frightening to consider.
