Title: 10 People Who Were Driven Mad By The Government

Gary Webb was a Pulitzer Prize–winning investigative reporter who started working at the San Jose Mercury News in 1988. In August 1996, Webb broke a major story, and it was one of the first stories to go viral on the Internet. In his 20,000-word, three-part series called Dark Alliance, he accused the CIA of turning a blind eye to crack cocaine being trafficked into the United States from Nicaragua in the 1980s. The reason they allowed it was because the money was buying arms to support the contras in Nicaragua that wanted to overthrow the leftist Sandinista government, which is what the CIA wanted.

Webb’s claim was highly controversial: In order to win a proxy war, the CIA had allowed crack cocaine to flood mostly black urban communities during the crack cocaine epidemic. The news was a huge story when it broke, and the CIA knew it was a public relations nightmare. Interestingly enough, they didn’t have to actively discredit him. The CIA simply did not confirm anything that Webb wrote but did confirm any story that undermined Webb’s accusations. And there were plenty of reporters who tried to discredit Webb. Many newspapers, especially the Los Angeles Times, felt burned that Webb had broken the story. They printed anything that might go against the story, and Webb ended up being fired in disgrace.

Things got so bad for Webb that, despite being a Pulitzer Prize–winner, he could only get a part-time job at a small, weekly newspaper. Besides his credibility and his job, he also lost his friends and his family. Webb committed suicide on December 10, 2004.

It was later proved that Webb was right. The CIA did allow crack cocaine to be imported into the United States. Webb’s story was made into the 2014 movie Kill the Messenger, with Jeremy Renner in the role of Webb.


Poster Comment:

The above is merely the last case cited. This is another fantastic (i.e. grisly) tyranny-buster by Listverse. I notice there are lots of comments under it -- somebody post one and share it with us.

Don't share it with me -- I'm in the doghouse for some reason nobody will say. Share it with everybody else and I won't look :-5

Isn't tyranny wonderful -- especially where bolstered around the world by yankee money and machinations? In commie China (3rd case in article) you could (can?) get the exciting choice of just going along with the tyranny and never saying anything or speaking up, getting 20 years and then as an incoherent shell of yourself becoming a burden on society.

Ah, Chairman Mao -- what a progressive. "You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs"....

10 People Who Were Driven Mad By The Government

There was Al Capone. He contracted Syphillis and that is what killed him in prison. They got him for tax evasion. ;)

GOOD. Sounds like a great remedy for organized crime.

I'm trying to find God's phone number. He punishes us for following the strongest urges he's built into us :-o

In other news, Daily WRH is back in youtube. Somebody was deleting the commercials and posting weekdays about 9PM but it simply stopt. I wrote the guy and queried Rivero -- he said he was mystified too, but somebody else is posting now. Hearing Tuesday's show as we speak -- tune on in pronto!

URLs will hyperlink now without our removing the "S"? That's pleasant! Thanks, Pinguinite......?

(Now that is purely perverse, but only on the British side.)

Even Rivero doesn't like them. He has fired a few of the more blatant for abuse. He'd like to get rid of them completely and depend on listener financial support.

I knew an old guy in Chicago who told me they were knocking over speak-easys during prohibition. He said Capone put the hit on them, so him and his partner took it on the lamb to Boston.

He said they got back about a month later and Capone's boys grabbed them and brought them in front of Big Al.

He told me, "We were standing there with our hats in our hands, 'We're sorry Mr. Capone. We won't ever do it again.'" And Capone said, "Yeah, well hit somebody else's joints. Now get outta here"

I'd say they got off pretty easy. That guy is likely dead a long time now since he was in WW II and he was no spring chicken back then.

His kid was a rodeo rider and he came into Country Music Inn wearing spurs. They kicked him out. It was a dance hall. LOL

Thanks to gurl power back then, likker had to go underground. Caused numerous problems. 'Twould be great if likker had never been invented, of course -- but that IS a subject on which we "can't turn the clock back" (liberals' insane sneer at everything we want).

They beat a Capone rap -- pretty impressive!

Humans didn't have to gather grain when they lived in the Garden. Grain and the resultant beer was a compensating gift from the Holy Spirit.

Ads I've heard are so far inoffensive -- I kinda likem since they show commerce is still going on in the patriot community.
