    Gary Webb, the Pulitzer prize-winning reporter who broke the story of the CIAs involvement in the importation of cocaine into the U.S., died December 10, 2004, reportedly from self-inflicted gunshots to the head.
    It was a tragic end to a brilliant, and tragic, career.
    In August 1996, the San Jose Mercury News published Webbs 20,000 word, three-part series entitled Dark Alliance. The articles detailed the nexus between a California coke kingpin, CIA officials and assets and the Nicaraguan Contra army, whose funding had been cut off by an act of Congress in the mid-80s. Webb found evidence that the CIA had direct contact with the smugglers, knew the proceeds were going to fund the murderous Contras, and tried to cover it up when other law enforcement agencies began investigating. The most troubling aspect to the story was that the central player was no ordinary drug lord. He was the man many credit for popularizing crack, the highly addictive, smoke-able form of cocaine.
    For many African-Americans, the story smacked of a grand conspiracy to destroy the black community. There were rallies in Watts and Compton, and heated discussions on black media across the country. Members of the Congressional Black Caucus called for a federal investigation. In November 1996, CIA director John Deutch appeared at Locke High School in South Central Los Angeles to personally answer to the allegations. He was met with loud jeers. It was a PR disaster.
    But it was Webb who found himself on the ropes. Ironically, the CIA did little to publicly counter his allegations. Instead, the media did its dirty work for them, most notably the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post. The mainstream media accused Webb of exaggerating his findings.

      I'm tired of people who are obedient and lazy and so; "blame government". Scumbag PEOPLE inside Government were to blame, not "government". Turd Stick Reagan waited until his Inaugural Speech to proclaim _"Government isn't the solution, government is the problem"._ then set about wrecking government for everyone but the wealthy and corporations.
      It's much like when Reagan was head of the Screen Actors Guild (A Union) and threw everyone in it under the bus when the opportunity arose to latch onto anti Communism B.S. from the political party that would lager support moving American Jobs to China (in fact, Reagan cut the Tarrifs that had previously prevented that and it was Nixon who "opened China").

      Webb was found dead in his Carmichael home on December 10, 2004, with two gunshot wounds to the head. His death was ruled a suicide by the Sacramento County coroner's office.[67] After a local paper reported that he had died from multiple gunshots, the coroner's office received so many calls asking about Webb's death that Sacramento County Coroner Robert Lyons issued a statement confirming Webb had committed suicide.[68] When asked by local reporters about the possibility of two gunshots being a suicide, Lyons replied: "It's unusual in a suicide case to have two shots, but it has been done in the past, and it is in fact a distinct possibility." News coverage noted that there were widespread rumors on the Internet at the time that Webb had been killed as retribution for his "Dark Alliance" series, published eight years before. Webb's ex-wife Susan Bell told reporters that she believed Webb had committed suicide.[68] "The way he was acting it would be hard for me to believe it was anything but suicide," she said. According to Bell, Webb had been unhappy for some time over his inability to get a job at another major newspaper. He had sold his house the week before his death because he was unable to afford the mortgage

      For what ever it is worth, I was recruited to work on the CIA's drug front companies. My cousin is a retired CIA deputy director. When I got hired at a CIA front company known as Vertilux based in Miami, they had empty warehouses and nothing to sell. My cousin sent me to the FBI, and those pecker heads told me to ask for $100,000 more than I was making, and asked me if my cousin got me the job...that was 21 years ago, and most of my friends have been murdered, my ex wife disappeared, assumed dead. I also worked for Hunter Douglas, based in the NETHERLANDS, another drug front, and more. Google Wayne Madsen + Philip Ticktin CIA .....I had spoken to Michael Ruppert, his story is very similar to mine. He told me the FBI had come into his office with sledge hammers, and smashed his computers, and then said have a nice day. I had spoken to Gary Webb, who supposed shot himself TWICE in the head, yeah sure... This is how they run this country, on laundered drug money....I have had 21 years of HELL, and counting. You would be surprised how many ways they bring dope into this country. 15 years ago, a Maricopa County Sheriff deputy came to my house, his name is Brian Sikahema, and told me "we all know the CIA is in the drug business, but it is for the better good" and I have a recording of the conversation....Hello to the NSA and DIA.....

    This man "Gary Webb" in my opinion deserves NOT just a forgotten chapter in "LAW History Books", but a complete "VOLUME or SERIES" documenting his investigative efforts. He should be the subject matter of a full Semester in all LAW & JOURNALISM College Courses. Gary Webb has possibly done more to expose Corruption in the Highest Departments, Agencies and Political Offices than anyone one person ever has. His 3 Part Series Investigative Stories "The DARK ALLIANCE" sparked multiple Investigations & Hearings of our Government Departments & Agencies as well as Politicians which should all be included in the unwritten Books I mentioned above. His work also helped to expose how the CIA, our Government Officials & the Global Elite control what all of our NEWS Media Sources, (through Television, NEWS Papers & Internet Media), are allowed or forced to Broadcast or Deliver to the American people and the rest of the World. Any REAL, Honest and Legitimate NEWS source Co. should honor Gary Webb by erecting statues in front of their Corporate Office and have his Portrait hanging in their Lobbies for what he unknowingly started. Unfortunately Gary Webb died December 10, 2004, reportedly from self-inflicted gunshots to the head. Why am I not surprised...?

      Look up 'audio heterodyning', you can hear multiple audio tracks at the lower threshold of hearing (quiet) being slightly masked by artificial tinnitus, the tinnitus shifts though, I dont know why they shift it. But that is just one part of it, it seems that they may be seeking to develop false audio environments, probably for sonic deceptions to be used for military applications. They can change spaciality and volume, so a sound can shift from sounding like its in you head or ear, to sounding like its several hundered feet away in the woods.
      I think by "electronic harmonics" they are referring to the artificial tinnitus, which seems like a mask for the multiple tracks of vocals. They can get very brutal also, they have used split phrases with opposite meanings to make you go 'inert', opposites, but usually confusing to understand, "can"/"can't", "did"/"didnt", and they will keep using opposites to jerk your psychology back and forth until you kind of crack, I started being able to have to lines of subvocalizations (word thoughts) at the same time, at will. This was after they somehow increased my level of subvocalization, not their voices but a subvocalization as in the linguistic sound of my own thoughts, like when you think to yourself in word form.
      They also used alot of vague ambiguous phrases with no objective meaning but used them as if they were super serious, while they were brutally harrassing you, it seems that they do this before they introduce some narrative, they always try to frame or steer narritives trying to get you to believe them and mentally follow them....than there is when they attempt to make you say things or literally think certain things, words or phrases, they seem to use multiple tracks on a mixer at various levels and frequencies, sayimg different phrases which come into phonetic alignment eventually at the target phrase that they want you to say....its like the take mental duct tape and try to pull off their phrases from your use of the Brocas area, alot of it entails minipulation of the Wernickies and Brocas areas of the brain. They can put their vocalizations at a frequency and level simmilar to your subvocalizations andthe sensation feels like its your own subvocalizations but its not, its really sneaky. They offset frequencies and levels from unnoticeable to more subvocalization level to louder and do this trick to make you think you can tell what they are going to say next, but its all a trick, like fake psychism. There is also the minipulation of ambient environmental sounds mixed with music, its super weird. They can do alot of stuff....and thats just the V2K. It sounds like some jerks doing experiments/research or learning a technology, and that what it is. They put wireless BCIs on me in the military, I didnt know what for

    I finished reading Gary's book "Dark Alliance" last night and it made me sad. Throughout the book, you can see the invisible hand of freemasonry smacking down Gary when he couldn't understand why certain things happened that shouldn't have - such as State Department, DEA and CIA denying events they themselves had documented and especially when Gary's editors at the Mercury News did a 180 degree about face, cancelling the remainder of his story, then sending him to exile at another branch of the paper AND deleting all the info the paper had uploaded to the WWW. The same thing happened to me when my freemason relatives murdered my elderly 81 year old Mother in 2012, and then stole Mom's $12+M estate out from under my sister and me. Until then I had NO idea what masonry was or why membership in a lodge would give carte blanche to my COUSINS stealing Mom's estate. But know this people who are smart: Babylonian Pharisaism = Judaism = Freemasory. All three are more or less the same religion having different names throughout history. God bless.

      @conchair1 Před 3 lety +1

      Scumbag cowards at San Jose ..I forwarded my truths to them! My factual narrative is intended to bolster the Wikileaks page regarding CIA’s trafficking.
      I was a pilot with a tourist business in the Florida Keys for 11 years (2001-12). Summer 2014 one of my neighbors (Rusty R.) told me the Monroe County mosquito control DC-3’s made trips to Central America loaded with guns, returning with cocaine. About a year later I saw the Gary Webb’s movie “ Kill the Messenger”. During the movie a US cocaine flow chart flashed across the screen with an arrow pointing to S. Florida. (I also read Webb’s “Dark Alliance”) I posted my observation to Facebook. A woman from the Keys (KY Sutherland ) wrote “ that’s true, I knew one of the Monroe County pilots”. Six months later I was at a the Faye Lake Wilderness dog park in Titusville Florida. A guy sitting at the picnic was talking about airplanes, I chimed in. He explained he was a US State Department aircraft mechanic on sick leave about to retire. Also he worked on helicopters at the Space Coast regional ( Titusville airport) for the Valiant Air Command. The State Department aircraft mechanic affirmed the Monroe County DC-3 gun/drug flights to Central America.
      I naively became engrained in a quagmire of political / LE criminals. I heard sheriff Rick Ramsey’s father chuckle telling the story of Marathon’s missing Customs agent. ( sheriff Ramsey’s father, Dick was a boisterous perpetual Keys politician with Bahamas property and an airplane, and self professed cocaine trafficker). One of his convicted cocaine mules Tony Diauto shared the same story, his father became Marathon’s replacement Customs agent. Tony furtively explained the sheriffs daddy had loaned him $75,000 (a reward/ loan for not revealing the source of the cocaine) to buy a home after his release from his 3 year imprisonment at Eglin AFB Fl. country club prison. Around 2005, Tony was distraught and came to me requesting a 75k loan as his ballon note was due to the sherrif’s daddy. (all evidence of THESE Customs agents identity has been purged from the public archives). I speculate Marathon’s missing and replacement Custom’s agents have some ties to the CIA’s gun and cocaine trafficking? Tony also related running over a pedestrian when a drug deal went awry & wasn’t sure if he killed the guy.
      Federal Marshals contacted Rusty R. summer ‘16 to verify my Facebook tirade. He provide the Marshals additional witnesses regarding the sheriff’s daddys trafficking.
      As life insurance I presented this info to San Jose Mercury News, LA times, Miami Herald, Carl Hiassen, Maxine Waters, Marco Rubio, Charles Grassley, FBI Jacksonville Fl, Homeland Security, FDLE, 60 Minutes, 20/20, untold missing person sites...
      Thanks Paul Goodwin

    “When I was a cadet, what’s the cadet motto at West Point? You will not lie, cheat, or steal or tolerate those who do. I was the CIA director. We lied, we cheated, we stole. We had entire training courses. It reminds you of the glory of the American experiment,” Pompeo boasted as the audience laughed and celebrated the statement.”

    "Investigative reporting is being squeezed out of the picture..." The first words Gary speaks in this video can't be more true today. Can you imagine the stories he could dig up if he were still alive today.

    I remember when this came out...my parents were totally taken aback by the story and denied any involvement by our government in such nefarious affairs. They punished me for reading this and bringing it to their attention. Funny thing...they did the same thing when the catholic priest scandel came out...

      Me too, but my parents were born in 1920 so they were used to the good pre-1960 USA. They didn't know that the OSS took over in 1947...and the US was ruled by a shadow Gov that Ike warned us about that took JFK out.
