"Conspiracy Theories" that are ACTUALLY TRUE. MKULTRA, Cointelpro, CIA-Contra-Cocaine, Donald Rumsfeld Selling Weapons to Saddam Hussein, UFOs are Real... Sometimes people dismiss Truth as "Just a Conspiracy Theory" because they Don't LIKE THE TRUTH.

In addition to the Five Factual Events listed above... What Ever Happened to these Unsolved Mysteries?

Why are there NO PHOTOGRAPHS of an Airplane at the Pentagon on 9/11/2001? Where's The Plane? Many Security Cameras near the Pentagon had their Video Tapes Confiscated by FBI... Never to be Released...

WTC7? Why did That Building Fall Down? No Airplane Hit World Trade Center NUMBER SEVEN... It Looks like a Controlled Demolition... Can a Fire burning wood, carpet and office equipment CAUSE a Skyscraper made of Steel to Fall Down? Note the Grenfell Tower, London that had a Massive fire, yet did not fall down!

What about the Explosions heard in the Basement of The World Trade Centers #1 and #2 on 9/11/2001... Why did those buildings fall straight down? If the Airplanes and Fires Caused Structural Damage. Why Didn't the TOP FLOORS Collapse First?

JFK Assassination? RFK Assassination? MLK Assassination?

A CIA Employee Spoke to Millions of Americans and said: "Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out." - Was That the DEPLOYMENT of Project Mkultra?

That's Exactly What Happened in the Late 1960s... Dr Timothy Leary (Author of the CIA's Personality Test) Went Coast to Coast Encouraging Young People to Eat The CIA's Miracle Drug, LSD and... Stop Protesting Against The War in Vietnam... because We Were Too Busy Being Holy Men, Saints... and Wanted to Play the Guitar all Day... and Go Live in the Country and Grow Vegetables, Weed and Children... and Make Paintings, Pottery and Tie Dye T-Shirts... Write Poetry... Etc, Etc, Etc...

and All of those Interests Added Up To NOT Being a Menace to The Military Industrial Complex... Dropping Out...

SO... Was "The Sixties" part of the CIA Project Mkultra? The Part Where they Actually USED LSD as a "Weapon" Against "Enemies" in the Hope that We Would Simply Lay Down Our Arms and Surrender...

50th anniversary of the Summer of Love... The Diggers, Haight Ashbury, LSD and the Grateful Dead. It certainly has been a Long Strange Trip. Congratulations to all those of us who have survived... One thing is for certain... The culture of the United States was radically different After the 1960's...

The conformism of the 1950's was blown away when LSD became widely available. Owsley made the chemical and made it available at Acid Tests with Ken Kesey and the Grateful Dead. He also gave it to the Beatles for their Magical Mystery Tour. The spirit lives on in a yearly camping trip called The Rainbow Gathering. It's like Woodstock but the performers are not paid and I'm in the Band.

CIA Cocaine Contra - The US Government Imported Cocaine by the Ton in order to Fund Reagan's War in Nicaragua. Investigations and Hearings Were Held... CONCLUSION: Yes, the CIA DID Import VAST Quantities of Cocaine... NO, we can't change History... They PROMISE to not do it again... Really... Scout's Honor!

 Gary Webb wrote the Initial Newspaper article that Exposed The US Government.  This was at the time that Ronald Reagan [Mr Alzheimer's] Started the Failed War on Drugs... Just Say NO!

After Congress stopped funding the War in Nicaragua, the Reagan Administration turned to Cocaine Smuggling and Arms Sales to generate money to finance the Contras. Most famous was the Iran/Contra Hearings that exposed weapon sales to Iran but The CIA ALSO imported Cocaine and sold it as "CRACK" Nationwide. A newspaper reporter named Gary Webb wrote a series of Expose Articles leading to Congressional Hearings that ultimately lead to Public Acknowledgement by The US Government that, YES, WE IMPORTED VAST QUANTITIES OF COCAINE in the 1980s but that is History and Some Bad Employees Did Evil in the Past  and We Promise Not To Do It Again... REALLY! No one in CIA Leadership was arrested but Low Level Drug Dealers did do time. Specifically , Freeway Rick Ross... 

YES, THE CIA DID IMPORT COCAINE BY THE TON TO FINANCE THE WAR IN NICARAGUA... Since the CIA Contra-cocaine scandal surfaced in 1985, major U.S. news outlets have disparaged it, most notably when the big newspapers destroyed Gary Webb for reviving it in 1996. But a New York Times review of a movie on Webb finally admits the reality... https://www.commondreams.org/views/2014/10/05/nyts-belated-admission-contra-cocaine

CIA involvement in trafficking is usually alleged to be connected to the Contra war in Nicaragua and the Iran–Contra affair during the Reagan Administration. In 1986 its spokesman acknowledged that funds from sales of cocaine smuggled into the US had helped fund the Contra rebels, but said that the smuggling was not authorized by the US government or resistance leaders.[1]
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_involvement_in_Contra_cocaine_trafficking

The Subcommittee "did not find that Contra leaders were personally involved in drug trafficking,"[2] but it did find "substantial evidence" of drug smuggling by "individual Contras, Contra suppliers, Contra pilots, mercenaries who worked with the Contras, and Contra supporters."[2] 

The Kerry Committee report found that "the Contra drug links included ".... Payments to drug traffickers by the U.S. State Department of funds authorized by the Congress for humanitarian assistance to the Contras, in some cases after the traffickers had been indicted by federal law enforcement agencies on drug charges, in others while traffickers were under active investigation by these same agencies."[3] The US State Department paid over $806,000 to known drug traffickers to carry humanitarian assistance to the Contras.[4]

The CIA, the drug dealers, and the tragedy of Gary Webb
In 1996, journalist Gary Webb began looking into links between Nicaragua's drug-running Contra rebels and the CIA. As a recent film shows, what he found killed him... https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/11485819/kill-messenger-gary-webb-true-story.html

I Did the Shopping for Both of Us Quite Often with my Second Wife. One Day I was Reading the List She Made and Looking at Peanut Butter. She Did Not Specify CREAMY or CHUNKY... and I Did Not Know...

... live with someone for 16 years and I never noticed... That reminded me of a Simpsons TV Show where Homer could not tell Marge what color her eyes were... and she got upset about it. Anyway, I selected one of the jars of peanut butter and went on my way. I do not recall if she was happy with my choice but... I guess I would have Remembered if she was UNHAPPY. I personally don't really care for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches because they always remind me of poverty. Times when all I could afford was PB&J. Also in the realm of POBOY Delights is Canned Jack Mackerel in Tomato Sauce and Fritos Corn Chips. At one time in my life I lived in a Mexican Neighborhood in Beautiful Willow Glen, San Jose, California. At the Store on the corner they sold wonderful fresh burritos when I had enough money but on other occasions, I Ate Canned Jack Mackerel in Tomato Sauce and Fritos Corn Chips... the fish has a lot of bones but they are eatable... just chew them up and swallow... and a Can with chips is Enough!

I remember that when I was working at Dominos pizza in a Black Neighborhood in Washington DC the most popular pizza was called the "Home Boy Special" - Pepperoni, Sausage and Double Cheese... or as we called it... PS2C... I worked there for Five (5) Years. It was fun and I got Stoned on Marijuana Almost Every Morning before going to work. The Store Manager was a Black Woman named Angela and she was fun to be with. There actually were Five (5) Angelas that worked there... all Black or Mixed Race...  This was in Fort Washington, Maryland just outside the Beltway... That was the place to live if you were Black and Rich. Hard to believe but there were thousands of Government Employees, Doctors, Lawyers and Business Executives that had Beautiful Homes there and a Yacht Club on the Potomac... Their Children ordered a lot of Pizza... and tipped well... The neighborhood that I lived in was Closer to DC and Not so rich. My neighborhood was harmed greatly by the CIA Invention of Crack Cocaine. 

The CIA imported TONS of Cocaine to Fund the Contra War in Nicaragua. Their Marketing Trick was to sell Crack to Black people because you could get high for $10.00 as Opposed to Powered Cocaine which cost a LOT More. While this story is difficult to believe, it is true. There were Newspaper Articles written by Gary Webb in the San Jose Mercury News (go ahead and Google him) that Caused Government Hearings with Dianne Feinstein, Barbara Boxer and Maxine Waters... 

The Conclusion was: A Successful Cover-Up by the CIA with the Help of the Washington Post and the New York Times Newspapers. They Published Stories Claiming that the CIA Employees were SAINTS! Choirboys! - They Did Not Report That: Yes, the CIA Imported Cocaine by the Ton to Fund the Contra War in Nicaragua and... Yes, they were sorry... and No, They would Never Do It again... Promise, Scouts Honor... and anyway, the War was Over so there Is No Need... 

Oddly, Gary Webb Committed Suicide by Shooting Himself in the Head TWICE... So, Remember... Don't Expose the CIA's Crimes... they won't like You.

Obvious Cure For Homelessness. Release all the Cannabis Prisoners and Use the Empty Jail Cells as a Homeless Shelter. Raise the Minimum Wage so that more people can afford rent.

 Remove the bars and the Cells are already set up to provide Food, Showers and Medical Care. After a few weeks of healthy Living, Many Homeless People will want to Leave and Go Support Themselves... GEE, That Was Easy!

What about those Crack Cocaine Prisoners that got ABSURD Long Sentences? Simply Redo their Time based on Equal Justice. Retroactively make the punishment for Crack the same as Powdered Cocaine... 

The War on Drugs FAILED and it's time for the Taxpayers to STOP Paying and Paying and Paying for IDIOT LAWS... The "Three Strikes, You're Out" Law caused a GIANT BILL to be PAID by Law Abiding Citizens. Anyway, We will need those Cells to Lock Up Trump and his Evil Henchmen... 

TODAY would be a Great Day to Contact Your Elected Representative and tell them to FREE THE CANNABIS PRISONERS! House the Homeless... It's Time for the Taxpayers to Revolt!

PANAMA - A Truly Forgotten War. 1989 - George H W Bush (the Father) was President of the USA and Manuel Noriega was President of Panama.

Background. Noriega was a CIA employee making about $100,000 a year helping the USA fight the Sandinistas in Nicaragua. He ALSO was "very helpful" fighting the "War on Drugs" since a lot of Cocaine was shipped from South America through Central America to the USA. Ironically, Noriega was also on the Payroll of the Drug Traffickers as well. Originally, George H W Bush (the Father) hired Manuel Noriega when he was the Director of Central Intelligence Agency... Conveniently, Bush FORGOT ALL ABOUT THAT Later, when the USA invaded Panama.

Reagan and Noriega had a Falling Out when Noriega started assisting the USSR in Central America AND when Noriega's Drug Smuggling Past was exposed to the public [by Seymor Hirsh] during the Iran/Contra Hearings. Therefore... He became our enemy and had "always been" our enemy... Just like in the book 1984... 

So, Panama declared war on the USA and The USA started "Operation Just Cause" and hunted down Noriega. He was hiding in The Vatican Mission and the USA felt restricted by Protocol and would not go in to arrest Noriega. SO... In a Bizarre plot twist... "Operation Nifty Package" - The USA Set up loudspeakers outside the Mission and played LOUD Heavy Metal Rock Music 24 Hours a Day in order to drive Noriega Mad and have him Surrender... And it worked! "Stop! STOP! No More Black Sabbath! Please STOP! Noriega was arrested, brought to trial in the USA, convicted and... GEE, I Don't know whatever happened to "PINEAPPLE FACE" - Part of "Operation Nifty Package" was Propaganda to drum up support in the American Public... Noriega had bad acne as a teenager and ended up with lifelong scars on his face - His Face looked like a Pineapple. 

Insulting names is still a part of the Republicrime Playbook... in 2019, King Donald the First calls everyone he hates bad names... Just like a Third Grader...  "Sleepy" Joe Biden, "Pocahontas" Elizabeth Warren and on and on and on... Everybody is "Low Intelligence", "Crazy", "Flipper", "Little Rocket Man" or SOMEthing... The #BillionDollarLoser gains a LOT of Political advantage with his Followers by insulting opponents.

"Everybody" criticizes Joe Biden for Being Wrong about the 1994 Crime bill and The Mass Incarceration of Black Men. HOWEVER...

While it is true that the EXTREME punishment for Crack Cocaine in comparison to Powdered Cocaine did lead to VAST Quantities of Black Men to be Incarcerated... Is That Good For America? Think this through... It is unlikely for a person to have children WHILE IN PRISON...  Jails Separate Inmates by SEX. Men in one Facility and Women in a Different one... The Effect is that This LAW has prevented Black GENES from reproducing. Classic GENOCIDE. Future Generations will be Whiter... as Black Women who live in the general population sometimes select White Men as Lovers... and the Black Men In Prison WILL NOT BE PART OF THE GENE POOL... So, we have to decide... Is Genocide a Good Thing? Some say That Depends on The Genes... I will let you ponder that thought. 

My Opinion: Genocide is INSANE. Let the Prisoners OUT. Make the punishment for crack equal to the punishment for Powdered Cocaine RETROACTIVELY. The Freed Prisoners will go back to their families and perhaps they will help raise their own children... get useful jobs... do something of Value to Society. AND... We will save Millions of Dollars Currently wasted on Incarceration!

Trump Caves In on Mexican Tariffs. Great! It was a bad idea and everyone knew it. Trump Actually Listened to the Overwhelming Rejection and Changed His Plan... It's also great that Mexico will be working to prevent Central American people from coming into the USA.

Frankly Speaking, I Oppose any Immigration of NON-White People. Yes, I Am Racist but that's only because Racism is Accurate. 

I actually lived for 12 years in a Black Neighborhood in Washington DC and then I moved to a White Neighborhood in Eureka, California. I prefer Living with White People. The reason I lived in a Black neighborhood is that I got a PRICE DISCOUNT on the Condo I Bought. A similar Condo in a White Neighborhood COST 35% More. At the time I felt that tolerating Black People in the 'Hood was worth the DEEP DISCOUNT. And then the CIA invented CRACK Cocaine and the Black People went Insane... So, I abandoned the Condo and Fled... Just Drove West... Yes, I lost Money on that Real Estate but the Gunfire at Night was Scary...

David Cay Johnston talks at the Town Hall Seattle. Author of "It's Even Worse than You Think: What the Trump Administration Is Doing to America."

https://townhallseattle.org/event/david-cay-johnston/ 

Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter David Cay Johnston may know Donald Trump better than any other working journalist, having first profiled the forty-fifth president in 1988 and tracked him ever since. He was the first to write about a potential Trump presidency when Trump announced his campaign in June 2015, and we turn to him now for a comprehensive examination of the first one hundred days of Donald Trump’s presidency in his book It’s Even Worse Than You Think: What the Trump Administration Is Doing to America. He provides unique insight about the actions the new administration is quietly approving without drawing the attention of the Washington press corps, and examines phenomena the mainstream press stopped covering years ago. Join Johnston for a deep exposition of the workings of federal government agencies as they affect the lives of all Americans: from our wallets, to our health care, to our safety.

The international bestseller that brought Trump's long history of racism, mafia ties, and shady business dealings into the limelight. Now with a New Introduction and Epilogue.
 
Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist David Cay Johnston, who had spent thirty years chronicling Donald Trump for the New York Times and other leading newspapers, takes readers from the origins of the Trump family fortune—his grandfather's Yukon bordellos during the Gold Rush—to his tumultuous gambling and real estate dealings in New York and Atlantic City, all the way to his election as president of the United States, giving us a deeply researched and shockingly full picture of one of the most controversial figures of our time.
