169 listeners
Gary Webb (August 31, 1955 – December 10, 2004) was a Pulitzer prize-winning American investigative journalist. Webb is most known for investigating the U.S.-backed Nicaraguan death squads of the 1980s; the Reagan administration and the CIA illegally smuggled tons of cocaine from South America into Los Angeles and sold it to the Crip street gang, thus spawning the crack epidemic of the 1980s. The drug money was then used to fund death squads in Nicaragua to prevent an anti-imperialist government from forming, thus securing tyrannical U.S. dominance and control in Latin America.
