Key Figures In CIA-Crack Cocaine Scandal Begin To Come Forward
Between 1982 and 1984, Congress restricted funding for the Contras, and by 1985 cut it off entirely. The Reagan administration, undeterred, conspired to sell arms to Iran in exchange for hostages, using some of the proceeds to illegally fund the Contras. The scandal became known as Iran-Contra.
Drug trafficking was a much less convoluted method of skirting the congressional ban on funding the Contras, and the CIA's inspector general found that in the early years after Congress cut off Contra funding, the CIA had alerted Congress about the allegations of drug trafficking. But while the ban was in effect, the CIA went largely silent on the issue.
“CIA did not inform Congress of all allegations or information it received indicating that Contra-related organizations or individuals were involved in drug trafficking,” the inspector general's report found. “During the period in which the FY 1987 statutory prohibition was in effect, for example, no information has been found to indicate that CIA informed Congress of eight of the ten Contra-related individuals concerning whom CIA had received drug trafficking allegations or information.”
This complicity of the CIA in drug trafficking is at the heart of Webb’s explosive expose -- a point Webb makes himself in archival interview footage that appears in Levin’s documentary.
“It’s not a situation where the government or the CIA sat down and said, 'Okay, let’s invent crack, let’s sell it in black neighborhoods, let’s decimate black America,’” Webb says. “It was a situation where, 'We need money for a covert operation, the quickest way to raise it is sell cocaine, you guys go sell it somewhere, we don’t want to know anything about it.'"

This shit is just too funny for me to watch - all the shit about Al Qaeda, ISIS and whatnot, too funny.
Obama did all this?
Other side of the picture but cannot be shown to children
The only black fella in HISTORY who had his cock in so many\much white man's ass, sometimes lining them up in a row of hundreds and drilling straight thru, then wiping his shaft on the curtains and plugging more of the infinite supply. Ongoing and not to end for many months to come.
And the kicker? He ain't even come once YET.
All of this is clearly visible right here in P&R at ET on a daily basis. Its easy to tell who just got Obama's rod in the 2-moon junction.
Hussein is defo making life super entertaining for observers
Wish he would lighten up on FATCA though.
And now Hussein is set to deliver his final death blow - tumbling markets after rising during his tenure for sooooo long and to such heights, he saved this blow for last.
Hussein's popularity will likely go to zero, then hit the minus band but I don't think he gives a flying fook.
What a country!!!!!
They say anything is possible only in America!!!!
Yeah, where else can a black fella from Kenya go straight to the TOP at the White House and plug whities at will, cause such a commotion at bulletin boards?
God, do I love it so!!!!
