Webb's investigation was published in the summer of in the San Jose Mercury News. The dual release of the feature film and the documentary, along with the willingness of long-hesitant sources to come forward, suggests that Webb may have the last word after all.
Her name was revealed in Webb's book on the scandal, but was removed at her request in the paperback edition. The major media that worked to undermine Webb's investigation acknowledged that Blandon was a major drug-runner as well as a Contra supporter, and that Ross was a leading distributor. But those reports questioned how much drug money Blandon and his boss Norwin Meneses turned over to the Contras, and whether the Contras were aware of the source of the funds. He would personally pick up duffel bags full of drug money, she said, which it was her job to count for Cornejo.
There was no question, she said, that Calero knew precisely how the money had been earned. He didn't care. He was there to fund the Contras, period. Indeed, though the mainstream media at the time worked to poke holes in Webb's findings, believing that the Contra operation was not involved with drug-running takes an enormous suspension of disbelief. After The Associated Press reported on these connections in , for example, more than a decade before Webb , then-Sen.
John Kerry D-Mass. According to the report, many of the pilots ferrying weapons and supplies south for the CIA were known to have backgrounds in drug trafficking. Gary Hart D-Colo. Plumlee has since spoken in detail about the flights in media interviews. Hart told HuffPost he recalls receiving Plumlee's letter and finding his allegations worthy of follow-up. When the Contra revolution took off in the s, Plumlee says he continued to transport arms south for the spy agency and bring cocaine back with him, with the blessing of the U.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, which currently isn't there. Considering that it is well documented that the CIA spent years training the torturers of genocidal dictators, assassinating democratically elected leaders, and using drug money to buy missiles to give to islamic terrorists I wouldn't be surprised to find that a star employee there there answered to the name "Lucifer", had a forked tongue, and slept on the ceiling like a bat.
That's totally and completely untrue. They're where they are because white people have no taste. The CIA crack theory has lots of sub parts and several different levels of conspiracy ranging from "You know I could believe that One theory that I've heard is that the CIA did nothing to stop the spread because the people involved in it were helping them in other persuits that the govt and the CIA deemed as more important then stopping the flow of drugs.
This is actually pretty possible. However from there it goes down all sorts of crazy paths to.. The Govt CIA did nothing to stop the spread of crack because it was a "black problem". Possible seeing as the govt did very little to stop AIDS when it was considered a "gay problem".
The Govt actually encouraged the spread of crack because it was harming people they didn't like. This would require lots of proof for me to believe. I figure that the team which is responsible for crack also brought us such cultural staples as: sagging distinctive tattoos and grill-work in order to level the playing field for law enforcement on catching and identifying urban youth.
They do not recall. Don't worry it was for a good cause.. To buy arms for terrorists. I am quite sure that the CIA's involvement with the Nicaraguan Contras, and the cocaine money that funded their political movement, implicates the CIA as at least complicit in the arrival of tons of cocaine in America if not directly responsible.
That said, the charged words 'crack' and 'inner city' were likely unintended consequences not 'all part of the plan'. First off, it's very unlikely that the CIA was involved in what happened to the cocaine after it left the ships and planes. Some went up the noses of wealthy New York lawyers and hollywood movie producers, some put out at swinging suburban dinner parties, and some cooked down with baking soda and smoked in the ghetto.
Sorry I ruined ya black pantha pun. Yeah, that's how I see it So it comes down to those familiar questions: how much did the CIA know, and when did it know it? Black opinion leaders like Waters have mounted a furious campaign to force the agency to tell everything it knows. Madison, who hosts a radio talk show in Washington, says, ""I'm not dropping it. We're standing up for all the crack babies, all the innocent bystanders hit by stray bullets during gang-related warfare over this poisonous white powder.
There is a further twist.
