The Warning in Gary Webb’s Death

December 9, 2011 Special Report: Modern American history is more complete because journalist Gary Webb had the courage to revive the dark story of the Reagan administration’s protection of Nicaraguan Contra cocaine traffickers in the 1980s. However, Webb ultimately paid a terrible price, as Robert Parry reports.

Something remarkable from 12

Something remarkable from 12 years ago. Representative Maxine Waters testifies on the evidence of massive drug dealing (cocaine/crack) by the CIA, in front of Porter Goss and Nancy Pelosi. The late ('suicide') Gary Webb sits right behind her.

Now don't get me wrong, I am in favor of the legalisation and regulation (prescription, age restriction) of most drugs, however, this is what happens when drug distribution is put into the hands of criminal networks.

Howdy Antifascist, Thanks for

Howdy Antifascist,

Thanks for the reminder of the reality of the world (they) are creating for us. This is not ment to distract or deflect attention from the tragedy of Gary Webb. 

 

Bldg # 7 , destruction of art, history, records, evidence and ongoing investigations.

"Jan Ramirez, the curator of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, said there was no historical consciousness surrounding the site before it was destroyed.

 

"It was modern, it was dynamic. It was not in peril. It was not something that needed to be preserved," she said."

FACT 10: “It is inconceivable that anyone could be running around placing explosives in exactly the right places all within seven hours. In fact, implosions take a minimum of two weeks and up to two months to plan and place the charges. The fire department of New York does not even train their personnel to do controlled demolition. They are done by highly skilled experienced specialists who plan and test far ahead.”17

FACT 11: “… [George W.] Bush’s brother, Marvin Bush, and his cousin, Wirt Walker III, were principles in the company [Stratesec, formerly named Securacom] that was in charge of security for the World Trade Center, with Walker being the CEO from 1999 until January 2002.”18 http://wtc7.net/articles/kimball/thirdskyscraper.html

Based on my own observations

Based on my own observations and personal experience with CIA suicide, I think Gary Webb's  "apparent suicide" as it was officially reported in the papers, should be officially investigated as to who were the "movers — who were coming the next morning — ," directed to call 911?

See Guns and Roses, Lita M. Sullivan, Geffen Records, Richard Caley, and death of John Lennon
