GARY WEBB AND THE DEATH OF INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM




GARY WEBB AND THE DEATH OF INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM


Gary Webb’s article exposing CIA involvement in crack to fund an illegal war for Reagan/Bush and his assertion

that they pumped it into Black spaces creating the crack epidemic opened the door a notch.

And because of it, white cops from elsewheres, who had previously remained silent, spoke up about how the CIA recruited (and tried to recruit) them to mule in the illegal substance.

Without investigative reporting of which we have zilch, zero, nada, there’s no pressure applied to wars ‘legal’ or illegal.

We cannot find out who specifically  ‘signed’ for the CHASE barge filled with 20tons/ 40,000lbs of cocaine

where that person or persons have to at least see the inside of a courtroom.

We cannot keep a spotlight on the biggest high profile (meaning connected to a banking company that most of us use) drug bust in history!

And out of sight; out of mind. That’s propaganda 101. Advanced propaganda is them turning the truth into a joke like ‘EPSTEIN DIDN’T KILL HIMSELF’.

Without investigative follow up, two Black security guards stand trial (who were just happy to finally get that ‘good job’) for a murder staged to look like a suicide in a cop holding cell.

Talk about the motive, means and opportunity being glaringly obvious!

So who investigates which precincts these inordinate suicides are coming from? Which NY precincts are STILL under investigation for running CHILD rape rings?

Without pressure, the EVIL will NEVER crack.

Can’t wait ‘til we have our own media. Everything changes.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PERSUASION AND CONVICTION

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PERSUASION AND CONVICTION Decades ago, in my teens, my oldest brother and I had a talk where I said, “Can you believe that they’re having another gay pride parade?” He told me that he participated in a gay pride parade. Then we just stared at one another - and because many don’t know how to communicate without language, I will translate: Me: (But you’re not gay) Him: (True, but our struggle is their struggle and theirs is ours) Me: (Hmmm. Now I have to rethink everything because this is my brother whom I love challenging my core beliefs). I was persuaded that day. Today, my brother is long dead but I’m still reposting. That’s called CONVICTION.

ON SCAPEGOATING WHITE SAVAGERY

 Those who brought their CHILDREN to lynchings dressed in their Sunday best are not ghouls or monsters or any more racist than white folk are today. They’re just people conditioned to do what white savagery tells them is acceptable. And decades from now, they’ll scapegoat the white folk today who ignore the hashtags, refuse to say fire ALL of the white cops from elsewheres, creating the most incarcerating nation on the planet...EVER! All while continuing their 22nd century conditioned evils without a thought of repenting. It’s like there’s some sort of spell...

When white folk dump, we can’t get Angry about it

I got angry over a white (almost white) person saying that I’m overreacting. Immediately afterwards, I berated myself, thinking that I should’ve held my cool. But just as we laud those black heroes who articulate the pain rather than express it, we condemn ourselves for feeling what is normal to feel.  Part of colonization says that I have no right to be angry and that my anger is naturally perceived as a threat so it’s in my best interest to hold my tongue. This is not normal. We must break the economic, physical, emotional and spiritual consequences to be true human beings. Otherwise we’re just lying to ourselves. “How dare they get angry over our oppression of them!”
