They Called It a Conspiracy: The Truth About the CIA, Contras, and Cocaine What if the deadliest drug epidemic in American history wasn't an accident, but a covert government operation? This is the story of a conspiracy so explosive it got buried, and the one journalist who lost everything to expose it. This podcast rips open the sealed files on Gary Webb and his explosive "Dark Alliance" series—the investigation that accused the CIA of fueling the crack cocaine epidemic in Los Angeles to fund a secret war with the Contras in Nicaragua. We'll take you back to the 1980s, onto the streets ruled by the notorious drug kingpin "Freeway" Rick Ross, and show you how his empire was allegedly built on a cocaine pipeline with direct ties to the CIA's proxy army. But this isn't just a simple conspiracy theory. We dissect the aftermath, where the full power of the media and the U.S. government descended to discredit Webb's reporting. We'll explore the official federal investigations that claimed there was no "official" plot, while also revealing the stunning admissions from the CIA's own Inspector General's report—which conceded the agency knew about Contra drug trafficking and often turned a blind eye. Was Gary Webb a journalistic hero who got too close to a terrifying truth, or did he push a narrative too far? We lay out the evidence, the denials, and the dark connections between American foreign policy and the devastation of its own cities. This is the definitive story of the Gary Webb and Dark Alliance controversy. Ready to question the official story?

Activists in 1980s regularly protested at Concord Naval Weapons against arms shipments to #Contras in #Nicaragua. 1987 weapons train deliberately ran over army vet #BrianWillson, who lost both legs. Days later, activists dismantled the tracks. For years after, maintained a 24-hour vigil at the site

Adding: the CIA has been the largest drug importer since ~1950: they/Bush used it to defy congressional funding limits and finance horrible #warcrimes that persist today.

Iraq WMDs?

Cocaine, C. and S. americas, "the #contras", and #DonJr, the obvious result.
