5 Whistleblowers Of Many Who Have Exposed The CIA Role In Cocaine or Crack Distribution
The government's war on drugs is full of hypocrisy and lies. With the right hand the ATF and others conduct raids on drug dealers. With the left hand, the CIA for 50 years has sold drugs in order to fund black ops and to have an army of addicts willing to do anything for a fix.

II Gary Webb of the San Jose Mercury News
Gary Webb in 1996 published the article Dark Alliance, about the CIA's role in creating a crack epidemic in the US., targeted toward black communities.Many say that Gary Webb, the San Jose Mercury reporter, was murdered, although the movie Kill The Messenger leaves it up to the audience. Why? The Congress had been opposed to the Ronald Reagan, Oliver North, CIA plans to create and fund an army of 'freedom fighters' in Nicaragua. Tens of billions of dollars of crack cocaine was distributed. The CIA created an army of addicts in the US in order to attempt to destroy socialism in Nicaragua through an illegal war. It was Operation Guido or Guns In, Drugs Out.
CIA connected media, the Washington Post, L A Times and New York Times, Nightline of ABC and Dateline cooperated in the CIA attempt to destroy Gary Webb. The Times printed news of his one time affair during his marriage. The San Jose Mercury News caved to the pressure. Webb had been held at gunpoint at least twice. He was followed. To protect his family, he had to move out. Illegal search and seizure occurred. As late as 2014 the Washington Post was attacking Webb and defending its sleazy crime.
Before his death, Gary Webb wrote a book, Dark Alliance, defending his reporting.
III Narrator Elizabeth Montgomery
Eight years before Gary Webb, in 1988, Elizabeth Montgomery, Star of Bewitched and daughter of former Screen Actors' Guild president Robert Montgomery, had narrated the film Coverup about G H W Bush's role in drug distribution. Bush had been for 1 year the head of the CIA and after that had been a link between Reagan and Oliver North. A 2 hour show by NOVA also focused on this topic.
IV 50 Years Of Drug Dealing By The CIA. The CIA airline Air America was used to transfer heroin from Southeast Asia to the US. The FBI followed Dick Gregory around the country as he reported that cocaine was secreted in the coffins of returning dead soldiers and that Jim Jones was part of a Vacaville prison (California) behavior modification study designed to observe how street people with no support system could be programmed.
V The Bush family fought the publication of James Hatfield's book, Fortunate Son, which reported on G W Bush's cocaine habit. They were successful in retracting the entire first printing. But James Hatfield got another publisher. He, a Texan, was found murdered in an Oklahoma motel room. The authorities ruled it a suicide.
Libertarians, conservatives like William F Buckley, and countless others have advocated an end to the trillions of dollars spent in phony wars on drugs.
