CIA Drug Trafficking Allegations Hearing (1998) | w/ Maxine Waters Gary Webb
Committee members heard testimony concerning allegations that the Central Intelligence Agency facilitated the introduction and spread of crack cocaine in U.S. urban areas in order to fund Contra activities in Nicaragua. Representative Millender-McDonald testified that the report by the CIA Inspector-General was incorrect and that the committee must pursue its own investigation of the matter to uncover those responsible for this activity. Inspector-General Hitz outlined his office’s report which finds no evidence of any links between the CIA and drug traffickers in Central America.
CIA rep Frederick P. Hitz is grilled by Maxine Waters and others at a congressional hearing spurred by the expose by Gary Webb of the San Jose Mercury News.

Waging devastation. Masquerading as justice against those who are truly victims of the installation that politically numbs and nullifies, or other wise entraps a population with repressive legislation. From Humboldt County to Zero Tolerance, an inference can be made: the War on Drugs is a war on us. How can we begin to see the reality when the CIA sells us our dreams in the street? You're not burning rebellion when you're melting your mind. You're just a model citizen in their eyes. Too discouraged to see the truth...too jaded to even care. Government pushing in, Government cracking down. Cracking down on the very epidemic they helped create to preoccupy the dissatisfied. The situation is very clear. The same pockets are getting filled, the same people are getting jailed. Covert operations never seen or heard by American senses. Funded by the dirty hands of greed... their international drug scheme. It's all for the same cause. Benefiting the same corporations that dare to drug screen for jobs. Reject the CIA, reject their drugs...
