Key Figures In CIA-Crack Cocaine Scandal Begin To Come Forward
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025647329

More than 18 years have passed since Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Gary Webb stunned the world with his “Dark Alliance” newspaper series investigating the connections between the CIA, a crack cocaine explosion in the predominantly African-American neighborhoods of South Los Angeles, and the Nicaraguan Contra fighters -- scandalous implications that outraged LA’s black community, severely damaged the intelligence agency's reputation and launched a number of federal investigations.


Those agents were never prosecuted or excised from the CIA. There is something abnormal about the crackdown on Adrian Peterson etal right now.

What better way to counter Ferguson by making the most successful highest paid quarterback turn out to be reprehensible? (As in "see they are all horrible people, even our idols. The police are behaving correctly".)

this is pretty disgusting. There is overwhelming evidence that Peterson did this. He admits it, for pity's sake.

I am not saying he didn't do it. I am not saying that the authorities did not have to do something. I am saying the reaction across the board is too extreme for NFL lawbreakers and my hypothesis stands.

Peterson is vital to the Vikings success this year. The message that we are getting loud and clear: "See, even the Black heroes are bad" and the NFL paid fixers were not able to overcome that meme and that means it has a powerful monied origin. The propagandists working for Homeland do not make the news they just wait and then use the news (but never to help the kids/wives.) Everything in this country is done since the 2000 coup is done to protect the money and the power. Same with the NFL.

Homeland and its agencies have mastered the art of controlling everything with turning groups against each other so we don't get together than throw the bums out. It started overseas and then moved here with Bush Sr and it is used in almost everything from ie Education, Medicine, Politics, Social Issues etc. We pay a lot of money to have our lives stressed this much. And if we don't see the problem we cannot fix it and I want it fixed for my grandchildrens sake. Living in America today sucks and is dangerous to most peoples health.

I don't believe for a minute that public outcry would made any difference because of Bird-killing glass on the new Vikings stadium here along the Mississippi flyway and the Redskins controversies had even more outcry and ongoing press and were dismissed as "no problem" and "too late to fix" by the NFL

BTW The other meme last week is "these class warfare ads are so infantile, we should stick to issues" It was repeated over and over by columnists and opeds in newspapers on the web, magazines, on talk shows and even on DU. The memes come out every two weeks probably will come out every week now.

We are talking about major society problems with power and social programming. It is no accident that the young woman that embraced the torture in Iraq was protected and encouraged and the one who tried to put limits on it was suicided.

Please, really read this: This happens over and over. We think we have made progress on something like child abuse, racism and human rights when we have not. AND THIS WILL KEEP HAPPENING OVER AND OVER until we fix the problem which is we need to cut the financial and political strings of the soulless, heartless puppet-masters, bring back our country for the people and then the kids have a chance. They don't now.

This is another Martha Stewart moment (scape-goating) mixed with another FitzChristmas Eve moment, (waiting for what we all worked, hoped and prayed would happen but it hasn't and won't the way things are.) But you think it has so you can stand down now cause you won that someone is finally doing something.

Now you want to stop me from trying to define the failures in our country in order to really fix them. (That or it is payback for my criticism of you wasting time (yours and mine) equating flu to ebola a day or so ago. Way to meme-y for me to ignore on a tough day. I usually admire, like and agree with what you post. I did not accuse you of rooting for ebola to win) They got you doing what they want, arguing with me and ignoring the overall problem to real progress.

The outstanding Democrats used to think like this and they defeated the bad guys that have always been around, not joined them and torpedoed those who are trying to do the hard stuff. You have to see the problem to fix it. We are actually on the same side.
