Ron Paul talking about CIA and U.S. Government drug trafficking to fund covert operations

Important reminder. Released on April 13, 1989, the Kerry Committee report concluded that members of the U.S. State Department "who provided support for the Contras were involved in drug trafficking...and elements of the Contras themselves knowingly received financial and material assistance from drug traffickers."

In 1996 Gary Webb wrote a series of articles published in the San Jose Mercury News, which investigated Nicaraguans linked to the CIA-backed Contras who had allegedly smuggled cocaine into the U.S. which was then distributed as crack cocaine into Los Angeles and funneled profits to the Contras. According to Webb, the CIA was aware of the cocaine transactions and the large shipments of drugs into the U.S. by the Contra personnel and directly aided drug dealers to raise money for the Contras.

In 1996 CIA Director John M. Deutch went to Los Angeles to refute the allegations raised by the Gary Webb articles, and was famously confronted by former LAPD officer Michael Ruppert, who testified that he witnessed it occurring.

**** Gary Webb, the Pulitzer prize-winning reporter who broke the story of the CIA's involvement in the importation of cocaine into the U.S., died December 10, 2004, reportedly from self-inflicted gunshots to the head.

This is why we need Ron Paul president. This CIA shit is still going on.

And it is even worse.

[strongfoot2009]

Ron Paul is the one to solve the American mess .

[Priesty77]

This was over 20 years ago and the same corruption is evident at all levels of government and withing the two major parties. No wonder the Republican machine doesn't want Ron Paul. Endorse him, vote him in as President and spend what it takes to protect him from the so call "self inflicted fatalism" which so many good people seem to suffer.

@HolyCity2012 I agree with you we have to do our part as well, we need to send a message and vote out all sitting members of Congress and let these people know who is really in charge here.

[HolyCity2012]

You are a fool if you think electing a single man as President is going to just fix everything wrong with Our United States of America.

Take actin!

Be The Change!

OCCUPY!

The ratio of the likes and dislikes is the equivalent to Ron Paul's run for presidency.
