When the Nicaraguan contras began to covertly fund their war against the
Sandanistas by selling drugs and guns to California street gangs, the
Central Intelligence Agency turned a blind eye. While black neighborhoods
were being ravaged by the crack cocaine plague, CIA operatives actively
participated in this devastating drug explosion, protected from prosecution
by a secret agreement between the Department of Justice and the CIA. The
bastards knew it was happening, and they did nothing to stop it. Once again,
human rights and human life took a back seat to "national security"
considerations.
Nevertheless, thanks to investigative journalists like Bob Parry and Gary
Webb, the story got out. When Webb's "Dark Alliance" series was released on
the Internet by the San Jose Mercury News, the scandal ripped across USENET
and the Web like a wildfire. Yet three years later, we're still fighting to
get all the answers from a government that would prefer to flush the whole
matter as quickly as possible.
On January 16, 1999, Webb spoke to a packed house at the First United
Methodist Church in Eugene, Oregon. Approximately 300 people listened with
rapt attention as Webb recounted his investigation of the CIA's connections
to contra drug trafficking. Webb's presentation was followed by an intense
question-and-answer session, during which he candidly answered questions
about the "Dark Alliance" controversy, his departure from the San Jose
Mercury News, and CIA/contra/crack secrets that still await revelation.

Excerpt from an obituary in the Sacramento Bee:
Gary Webb, a prize-winning investigative journalist whose star-crossed
career was capped with a controversial newspaper series linking the CIA to
the crack cocaine epidemic in Los Angeles, died Friday of self-inflicted
gunshot wounds, officials said.
Mr. Webb, 49, was found dead in his Carmichael home Friday morning of
gunshot wounds to the head, the Sacramento County Coroner's Office said
Saturday.
He left a note, but officials would not disclose its contents.
"I'm still in a state of shock," said Tom Dresslar, who works as a spokesman
for California Attorney General Bill Lockyer and had known Mr. Webb for 15
years.
"He was a hard-core, no-fear investigative reporter," Dresslar said. "He
wasn't afraid to stand up to whatever authority."

It is weird that so many are dead "by suicide" that expose corruption.
Oracle, Enron, Carlyle, Bush, Clinton connections to San Bernardino county
and California doings connecting the banking and corporations who have
elected officials in key positions to get contracts and state, federal
funding. All feed at the trough and all justify their actions. Judges are
normally paid off in property or favors to their children, they also use
ficticious names. Ex: Riverside County board of supervisor Tavaglione has
cousing or nephew as a "contractor", Hansberger clan has business with
Canada (lumber, MTBE (changed name so wouldn't be noticable, but still is
party of genecide of the masses agenda-global style), judge krug (kruger,
Saunders, as Sanders or by middle name, Larson as Lawson and
etc.P)Hansberger's in Yuma have electric, heating and cooling throughout
U.S. by different contractors name, and developments, Centex had a case in
supreme court. Denial of opportunities and specific contracting to raise
prices of contract or products (Scalia, O'Connor). The monopoly on concrete,
cement is very well known /with Mitsubishi hidden contracts paid by U.S. To
China, Japan as well as Corporate structure of Robertson's, Emerich, Rancho
and etc. Isn't it weird that a husband and wife die so easily after a lover
quarrel and both are shot in the head. It is definately weird that so many
are connected to properties, real estate, water, and non-profits for profit
and are found in many construction ditches and after fires?
