ReplyDeleteI don't know where to post this, so I'm posting it here.
I've found a link to a Dateline report that raises the issue "is the CIA responsible for distributing drugs?"
The piece starts out with the famous footage of Mike standing up in Los Angeles and claiming that he has evidence linking the CIA to drug smuggling. I was shocked at first that a show like Dateline would air that piece. Then, the piece abribtly shifts, and claims that it was reporter Gary Webb who made the accusations, and it flips to an interview with Webb, who is sporting a moustache like Mike's and sandy brown hair, grown out longer.
What the hell is going on here?
Here's a link to the footage. You only need to watch the first little bit to see the deception where they attribute Mike's comments to Webb, and then they follow up by white washing the whole event.

Further to CIA and drugs, we watched Prof Alfred McCoy a couple of weeks ago in Australia.

He said that Guantanamo was a node in the CIA network, so I Googled him, only to find that he is pretty well on the same wavelength as Mike.
Suddenly it made sense. Given that rendition flights would have to be the greatest and silliest waste of resources in the "intelligence" universe, what else could they be but a covert conveyance for drugs? So many governments have coyly admitted to the passage of these flights, unexamined and unquestioned. They cite "security" reasons for their lack of duty.
Although I have watched your videos times without number Mike, I think it was my puritanical attitude towards heavy drugs that discouraged me from understanding what a wonderful currency they are.
What magic coinage, so valuable and compact. Unlike gold, drugs are consumed and re-grown - and are redeemable currency in any country. Yes, it all makes sense.
How I wish I had kicked up a hue and cry when reportage of rendition flights briefly surfaced in the mainstream news. Ah well, next time - or just make it happen somehow.
I did write to Lateline, asking them for a return bout with Prof McCoy.
Cheers all.... Chris
