Race problems are alive and well within the GOP War Party of America

and will be the main issue in the November Pig Race. Most Americans

will never get over the color chart. This CIA-backed drug network

opened the first pipeline between Columbia's cocaine cartels and the

Black neighborhoods of Compton and Los Angeles,

CIA Sold Crack to Fund Contras The CIA Introduced crack into the

ghetto.

FACT. Makes sense for Washington to create political race riots.

LOS ANGELES--New evidence has surfaced linking the U.S. Central

Intelligence Agency to the introduction of crack cocaine into Black

neighborhoods with drug profits used to fund the CIA-backed Nicaraguan

Contra army in the early 1980s.

( Not only in Los Angeles )

This evidence has given credence to long-held suspicions of the U.S.

government's role in undermining Black communities.

According to a series of groundbreaking reports by the San Jose

Mercury News, for the better part of a decade, a San Francisco Bay

Area drug ring, comprised of CIA and U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency

agents and informants, sold tons of cocaine to the Crips and Bloods

street gangs of Los Angeles.

Millions of dollars in drug profits were then funneled to the Fuerza

Democratica Nicaraguense (Nicaraguan Democratic Force), the largest of

several anti-Communists commonly called the Contras. The 5,000-man FDN

was created in mid-1981 and run by both American and Nicaraguan CIA

agents in its losing war against Nicaragua's Sandinista government,

the Cuban-supported socialists who had overthrown U.S.-backed dictator

Anastasio Somoza in 1979.

This CIA-backed drug network opened the first pipeline between

Columbia's cocaine cartels and the Black neighborhoods of Compton and

Los Angeles, according to the Mercury News.

In time, the cocaine that flooded Los Angeles helped spark a "crack

explosion" in urban America and provided the cash and connections

needed for Los Angeles's gangs to buy Uzi sub-machine guns, AK-47

rifles, and other assault weapons that would fuel deadly gang turf

wars, drive-by shootings, murders and robberies -- courtesy of the

U.S. government, according to the article.

"While the FDN's war is barely a memory today, Black America is still

dealing with its poisonous side effects. Urban neighborhoods are

grappling with legions of homeless crack addicts. Thousands of young

Black men are serving long prison sentences for selling cocaine -- a

drug that was virtually unobtainable in Black neighborhoods before

members of the CIA's army started bring it into South Central in the

1980s at bargain basement prices," wrote Mercury News reporter Gary

Webb, in the first installment of the shocking series of reports.

Although the Mercury News details the activities of numerous

Nicaraguan and American informants and ties involved in the drug-gun

trade, three men are cited as key players: Norwin Meneses, a

Nicaraguan smuggler and FDN boss; Danilo Blandon, a cocaine supplier,

top FDN civilian leader in California, and DEA informant; and Ricky

Donnell Ross, a South Central Los Angeles high school dropout and drug

trafficker of mythic proportions, who was Mr. Blandon's biggest

customer.

According to the Mercury News article, for the better part of a

decade, "Freeway Rick," as he was nicknamed, was unaware of his

supplier's military and political connections.

But together, the trio was directly and indirectly responsible for

introducing and selling crack cocaine as far away as Cleveland,

Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Dayton and St. Louis.

Ricky Ross' street connections, ability to obtain cocaine at low

prices and deals that allowed him to receive drugs from Contra-CIA

operatives with no money upfront helped him to undercut other dealers

and quickly spread crack. He also sold crack wholesale to gangs across

the country, said the Mercury News report.

Most of the information surrounding the CIA's involvement in the crack

trade came from testimony in the March drug trafficking trial of Mr.

Ross, 36, who, along with two other men were convicted of cocaine

conspiracy charges in San Diego.

A federal judge indefinitely postponed Mr. Ross's Aug. 23 sentencing

to grant his lawyer time to try to show that federal authorities

misused DEA agent Mr. Blandon to entrap Mr. Ross in a "reverse" sting

last year. Mr. Ross could receive life in prison without the

possibility of parole.

Records show that Mr. Ross was still behind bars in Cincinnati in

1994, awaiting parole, when San Diego DEA agents targeted him for the

reverse sting-- one in which government agents provide the drugs and

the target provides the cash.

Though Mr. Blandon has admitted to crimes that have sent others away

for life, the U.S. Justice Department turned him loose on unsupervised

probation in 1994 after only 28 months behind bars and has paid him

more than $166,000 since, court records show.

Mr. Blandon's boss in the FDN's cocaine operation, Norwin Meneses, has

never spent a day in a U.S. prison, even though the federal government

has been aware of his cocaine dealings since at least 1974, according

to the Mercury News article.

For years, writers, authors, activists, gang members and others have

implicated the U.S. government in the deadly crack cocaine-gun trade.

Many have charged the U.S. government with supplying gang members with

these tools in an effort to undermine and eradicate the Black

community through wanton murder, drug addiction and crime.

Some believe crack did not become an "American problem" until the drug

began hitting white neighborhoods and affecting white children.

On Aug. 23, the Los Angeles City Council, responding to pressure by

the Los Angeles Chapter of the Black American Political Association of

California (BAPAC), asked U.S. Atty. Janet Reno to investigate the

government's involvement in the alleged sale of illegal street drugs

in Los Angeles' Black community to support the CIA-backed Contras.

BAPAC vice chairman Glen Brown told The Final Call that a federal

agency monitored by a civilian advisory board is one way the

government could investigate the matter because "we can't have people

who are responsible for this investigate themselves."

BAPAC, a statewide coalition of political activists, has also demanded

that the U.S. government provide the necessary funding, materials and

labor to rebuild urban areas destroyed by crack cocaine, as well as

the necessary medical care, education, counseling, and vocational

training to restore shattered lives.

Long-term Los Angeles activists Chilton Alphonse, founder of the

Community Youth Sports & Arts Foundation, which aids former gang

members, said he briefly assisted Ricky Ross when the drug dealer was

paroled from prison inn October 1994, after serving about half of a 10-

year prison sentence in Cincinnati in exchange for his testimony

against corrupt Los Angeles police detectives.

"He came back to Los Angeles and tried to get his life together," Mr.

Alphonse said. "Rick was a legend in the streets. But he flipped

(testified against law enforcement officers). He said they used him to

skim money from him."

Mr. Alphonse was referring to Mr. Ross's 1991 testimony against Los

Angeles Police Department narcotics detectives who had been fired or

indicted along with dozens of deputies from the Los Angeles County

sheriff's elite narcotics squads for allegedly beating suspects,

stealing drug money and planting evidence.

Mr. Alphonse, who now resides in Alabama, said he has warned for years

that the flood of crack cocaine and assault weapons into the Black

community was not the doing of the Bloods and Crips.

"Inner city youth don't have the resources to manufacture cocaine or

ship in guns," Mr. Alphonse said.

Others agree.

In December 1989, while head of the NAACP Los Angeles Chapter, Anthony

A. Samad (then Anthony Essex) announced his findings that some Bloods

and Crips members had implicated the U.S. government in the ruthless

crack and assault weapons trade among Los Angeles street gangs. Mr.

Samad said that he learned this after extensive interviews with gang

members housed in Los Angeles County Jail. But he was largely ignored

by Black elected officials, he said who sided with law enforcement.

"Gang members charged then that gang rivalry and drug wars were being

perpetuated by the police and the government," said Mr. Samad, who is

now president of Samad & Associates, a consulting firm.

Henry Stuckey, of Stop the Violence/Increase the Peace, said that

government involvement in community drug trafficking was common

knowledge in some circles.

"Obviously African American males didn't have planes and boats to move

the guns and narcotics into the Black community." Mr. Stuckey said.

Mr. Stuckey said that Black and Latino youths must be appraised of the

government's involvement in order to understand that their communities

will continue to be the dumping grounds for guns and drugs unless the

youths "do for self."

"I do think that the blame that was laid on the gangs was wrong," Mr.

Stuckey said. "But I can't say that it vindicates them for their

actions because they had a choice in the matter. (Still) it's horrible

that the government targeted our youth."

Roland Freeman, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Chapter of the

International Campaign to Free Geronimo Pratt, is a former member of

the Black Panther Party. The BPP was targeted and ultimately nullified

by FBI counterintelligence programs.

Mr. Freeman said he knows firsthand of the deceit of which the

government is capable; a government, he said, that tries to "set

itself up as if it's higher than God when really it's lower than the

devil."

"(They put) small pox in the Indian's blankets and gave them fire

water," Mr. Freeman said. "They make drugs available to Blacks and

other minorities. It only surprises me that (the CIA) got caught."

Crack is now an epedemic problem throughout the American scene thanks

to the CIA and with the support and approval of the US government.
