The CIA has been accused of being involved in drug dealing and manipulation of news in the past. I think we should remember how Gary Webb took risks to share that info with us.

The CIA worked with many newspapers in order to destroy Gary Webb the journalist who exposed their cocaine smuggling connections.

As many already know, the CIA either outright owns, via shell companies, or controls hundreds of newspapers worldwide.

So what? That's a good thing. If you don't like it, then you can GET OUT!

I love the CIA and if you love America, then you too must love the CIA.

Webb = Webster = ABC-TV sitcom from the 1980s = network with huge ties to the CIA, did anti-drug episodes and had Ron Reagan, Jr. as a guest star

Gary = Gary Coleman = star of Diff'rent Strokes, who did the same interracial adoption premise five years earlier on NBC along with the infamous Nancy Reagan "Just Say No" episode

The CIA has its hands in fictional programming as well as news, and it has gotten worse since movie studios took over the networks. Disney had its own CIA ties independently of ABC before they bought it. Magic Kingdom = MK = MKULTRA. MK also stands for "Mein Kampf." The CIA is the same organization that brought ex-Nazis to the US. They trained an obscure calypsonian named Louis Farrakhan to kill Malcolm X and essentially replace him.
