WHITEOUT - The Contras, Cocaine, and Covert Operations
From National Security Archive
- Tuesday, December 23, 2008
An August, 1996, series in the San Jose Mercury News by reporter Gary Webb linked the origins of crack cocaine in California to the contras, a guerrilla force backed by the Reagan administration that attacked Nicaragua's Sandinista government during the 1980s. Webb's series, "The Dark Alliance," has been the subject of intense media debate, and has focused attention on a foreign policy drug scandal that leaves many questions unanswered.
Editors note:
I am holding in my hand a copy of "WHITEOUT - The CIA, Drugs and the Press" by Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair. Your local library may have a copy of this book or you can buy it here.
This book is quite interesting in that even though many copies are listed as being in lots of libraries, GOOD LUCK getting your hands on one of them!
Almost every copy that I looked at online was unavailable for checkout, usually because it was missing!
It's obvious that certain people don't want anyone to know the information that is in this book!

Ok, so there it is in black and white. Both this article and this article were in the Seattle P-I newspaper. The media isn't going to come right out and say it, however, how naive does a person have to be in order to be incapable of figuring this out?

BUSH VETO'S KIDS AND THE FUTURE OF AMERICA!
Saturday, July 28, 2007 By Your-Rights.com
Besides being personally responsible for the deaths of over 500,000 Iraq civilians and over 3,000 of our military troops, this has to be the most vile thing I have witnessed come out of the Bush Whitehouse.
( If you can read both of these articles and not want to Impeach Bush NOW!!!, I give up. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him THINK. )
Bush To Veto Ban On Mercury In Vaccines
Bush Set To Veto HHS-Labor-Education Appropriations Bill Due To Provision To Remove Mercury From Infant Vaccines
Just in case you haven't figured it out yet... Here are the rules they don't tell you about:
1. Keep women barefoot and pregnant. Restrict access to birth control and related information.
2. Keep everyone naive and ignorant by not funding education and injecting our kids with mercury.
3. Recruit these mentally challenged people into the military to fight for more profit for Bush, Cheney and Exxon, etc.
Isn't our President great?
Can you say Impeach?
Just try it...
Impeach!
IMPEACH!
IMPEACH!!!
IMPEACH!!! IMPEACH!!! IMPEACH!!!
See? That wasn't that hard.
Calling up your Representative in Congress and telling them that is just as easy!
Why not do it before you forget? Since I went to the trouble to look it up for you, why don't you go ahead and call now?
Here's the phone number.

Why we may never regain the liberties that we've lost
From Mercury News
- Sunday, April 6, 2003 By Dan Gillmor
NEW YORK - The lights of a magnificent, recovering city glittered from the 80th floor of the Empire State Building on Wednesday evening. The multiple ironies were not lost on the gathering of civil-liberties and public-interest activists.
The Empire State Building is now the tallest structure in the city, still half-stunned from the attacks that brought down the two taller buildings 18 months ago. As a new war raged in Iraq, the people in the room were acutely aware of the only slightly older war that has consumed their daily lives like nothing before -- the way in which the war on terrorism has also turned into an assault on individual liberties.
The activists were in New York for the annual Computers, Freedom and Privacy conference. They continued to take heart from small victories here and there, some of which were simply stopgap efforts to keep a bad law from becoming even worse. But the prevailing mood, even more so than a year ago in San Francisco, struck me as downright gloomy.
Maybe I'm projecting my own worries onto others. But I sensed a deepening fear that things are really different this time.
Liberties ebbed and flowed in America's past. Leaders curbed liberties, with the public's often ignorant endorsement, in times of crisis. But the rights tended to come back when the crises ended.
The fabled pendulum of liberty may not swing back this time. Why?
For one thing, the damage that one evil or deranged person or group can cause has grown. Even if America somehow persuades all Islamic radicals that we are a good and just society, there will still be some evil and deranged people who will try to wreck things and lives in spectacular ways. In other words, the ``war on terrorism'' can't possibly end.
Moreover, the architecture of tomorrow is being embedded with the tools of a surveillance society: ubiquitous cameras; the creation and linking of all manner of databases; insecure networks; and policies that invite abuse. They are being put into place by an unholy, if loose, alliance of government, private industry and just plain nosy regular folks.
Sure, Congress put a temporary halt to the notorious Total Information Awareness project. That Pentagon-inspired operation would have let government snoops scoop up all kinds of public and private data about all of us, then rummage through it with supercomputers to look for bad tendencies.
No sooner had Total Information Awareness been slowed than ``CAPPS II,'' a plan by the Transportation Department to scoop up and analyze data on everyone getting an airplane ticket (sound familiar?), hit the radar of activists. The particulars of CAPPS II are still under review, but it's blatantly obvious that the major purpose of this scheme is surveillance, not safety.
Meanwhile, under cover of a war that has caused the news media to ignore other important news, the Bush administration issued an order that will guarantee the wrongful arrests or harassment of innocent people. The Justice Department told the FBI it no longer needed to worry about the accuracy of its National Crime Information Center (NCIC) database containing 39 million criminal records, including some documents that would barely pass the gossip hurdle.
NCIC records are used every day by law enforcement agencies all over the nation. The accuracy requirement was established under the 1974 Privacy Act, one purpose of which was to ensure that federal records, which could have enormous impact on people's lives if misused, don't contain erroneous information. For more information, as well as an online petition asking for a reversal of this misguided shift, visit the Electronic Privacy Information Center Web site (www.epic.org/actions/ncic/).
The Bush administration's attitude, assisted by a Congress that long since abandoned any commitment to liberty, is that government has the right to know absolutely everything about you and that government can violate your fundamental rights with impunity as long as the cause is deemed worthy.
You, on the other hand, have absolutely no right to know what the government is doing in your name and with your money, unless the information is deemed harmless by people who have every motive to cover up misdeeds. Bush and his people have turned secrecy into a mantra, and too few people recognize the danger that poses to our freedoms, much less our pocketbooks.
Some civil libertarians profess a renewed aim toward practicality. Ira Glasser, former head of the American Civil Liberties Union, said it's foolish to accept the notion that the job is to strike a balance between security and rights. We always lose liberties when such choices are presented, but we rarely gain any significant security, Glasser observed.
I found that assessment strikingly cynical, worryingly short on principle. Maybe it'll work a few times, but in the end, if he's right about our basic motives, people are going to pick even the possibility of security over liberty if they get scared enough.
But the damage we will do to ourselves if we allow our liberty to disappear is incalculable. An entrepreneurial society can't exist if political freedom disappears, and if Big Brothers, public and private, are invading our daily existence with impunity.
The damage we'll do globally will be tragic. The world looks to America in large part because of our freedoms. We are a magnet, and a beacon, because liberty means something here.
So I deeply admire the activists who gathered in New York, because they keep trying even in the toughest of times. They are fighting for all of us, and for our future.

Cocaine Import Agency -- CIA
From Dr. Bernardo Attias
- Wednesday, July 1, 1998
In August of 1996, the San Jose Mercury News published a three-part investigation by Gary Webb into the U.S. government's links to the trade in crack cocaine in South Central Los Angeles. Webb's investigation uncovered links between the Central Intelligence Agency's covert war against Nicaragua and convicted Los Angeles drug dealer "Freeway" Ricky Ross, whom the Los Angeles Times in 1994 had dubbed the "one outlaw capitalist most responsible for flooding Los Angeles' streets with mass-marketed cocaine." (20 December 1994 p. A20)
The (admittedly sensationalized, but basically accurate) story generated much controversy, and heated denials from the mainstream media (in particular the local paper of record, whose editor Shelby Coffey III couldn't bear the thought of someone else beating his paper out on a major story in his own backyard). This vehement denegation, however, is largely inconsistent with the historical record (some of which has been, and continues to be, reported in these same papers).
