New Movie on Life of Gary Webb being filmed soon - titled: Killing The Messenger

[Magda Hassan]

Doping up the black and hispanic and poor neighbourhoods of America was seen as being unimportant in the scheme of things. It's the sort of thinking that wealthy, authoritarian and powerful men construct because they are not only intrinsically racist, but poor-ist too.

And they just love to put down the less fortunate others who can't afford to dine in expensive clubs or holiday on super yachts. The feeling of power it gives intoxicates them. But it also dehumanizes them.

I agree this would make a great movie too. I also think this was not just an accidental by product of the black money making for off the books black ops foreign policy but also a deliberate policy to break the US black and hispanic communities. Until then they were the most politically active and organised. After Vietnam war ended and the abolition of the draft lots of the pressure for change dissipated for the white middle classes. But blacks and hispanics still had plenty to fight for. The flooding of drugs into their communities was just a different front of the COINTELPRO war that had been waged against a very well organised black community that was achieving results. Getting people disengaged from political activity because they are stoned or looking to get stoned and scamming money to feed their addiction 24 hours per day works well for tptb. Get them fighting and killing each other in gangs for drug territories and debt collections will break up any community of bonds of solidarity. Then the unending grief of broken families and and unsafe communities where people just stay in none of this was an accident. No more Black Panthers. No more MLKs. Or Malcolm Xs. Big bottomless budgets for Law and Order. Fear of blackness stoked in the white communities. Continued racist attitudes 'justified'. Racism divides. Others rule.
