2. Well I can't say that I'd be surprised. New Jersey has the purest
heroin in the country. Heroin from Afganistan so I understand.

Well, we've got to prop their 'economy' up somehow, don't we?

NOTE: I don't really know if I'm being sarcastic or not.

4. Tis' the season for Freeper madness
I've seen a lot of questionable viewpoints over the last few days, and a lot of mean-spirited ones. They are also coming from the 800-1000 post crowd. It seems to be a time when the FR needs to do sabotage raids again.

5. Check this statement:
--Webb's 1996 series in the Mercury News alleged that Nicaraguan drug traffickers had sold tons of crack cocaine in Los Angeles and funneled millions of dollars in profits to the CIA-supported Nicaraguan Contras during the 1980s.

It seems that Maxine Waters (D) California, was right about crack cocaine being distributed by the government in Los Angeles.

6. Excerpt from article:
...Credible sources who were close to Gary Webb have stated that he was receiving death threats, being regularly followed, and that he was concerned about strange individuals who were seen on multiple occasions breaking into and leaving his house before his apparent 'suicide' on Friday morning...

7. I suppose Pappy Bush (distinguished from Grand-Pappy Bush),...
Edited on Wed Dec-15-04 12:05 AM by Just Me
,...wanted to make damn sure that what happened to his "Pa" (getting caught) would not happen to him and his network of corrupt operators.

Oh, Barbara,...do keep taking those heavy-duty anti-depressants to protect your mind from your inherited cabal of death-profiteers.

8. This makes four
Gary Webb Death - New
Math Of Bush
Reporter 'Suicides'
From Brasscheck
ken@brasscheck.com
12-13-4

Now that Gary Webb joins Mark Lombardi, J.H. Hatfield, and Danny Casalaro as the fourth 'suicide' by a researcher who had a detailed understanding of the structure and function of the Bush crime family, the math on the odds of the Bush suicides have changed.

The new math:

"Examining the male U.S.suicide rate for recent years , we can extrapolate a conservative estimate of 17 male suicides per 100,000 people, or 0.017%. The odds of 4 specific, male biographers committing suicide would be the 4th power of 17/100000, or 8.3521 4.913 x 10^-17...roughly 1 chance 10,000,000,000,000,000. About as good a definition of impossible as you can get.

Nonetheless, this is Alex Jones and I wouldn't take his word for the weather or the time of day.

11. LBN?
Howdy, truthbeknown. I don't think prisonplanet is a proper LBN source.

Regardless, welcome to DU :)

12. I read this skeptically, and found myself thinking "hmm, ....
if he saw government intruders scaling the pipes into his house and running away from his balcony, why didn't he just MOVE?"

Then I realized .... he was TRYING to move.

It was the moving company that found the "suicide note".

Man. Shoulda gotten the hell out of dodge a little quicker.
