there's always a fair point to be made about people becoming fans of something from a country or culture they don't belong to and then being entitled and not understanding different little cultural contexts and it's always good to think about that and keep that in mind when you're in that position and yeah! You should try to learn and listen when you're the fish out of water! but it will never stop being bizarre to me when i see people just totally towing the line on bizarre shitty ideals because supposedly that's just whats normal in X place, okay? like yes I do enjoy a lot of Asian dramas, no I don't think it's okay to act like an actor having a drug problem or even just. yk. smoking weed for fun is a disgusting and heinous person? I don't think they should have their careers wrecked? Yes, a lot of countries have deeply entrenched colourism but that doesn't mean I'll shrug off a pop star saying dark skin is ugly or wrong because I fuckin well care about all the people who have dark skin hearing that bullshit? like yeah cultural ideals exist but sometimes they're WRONG. and BAD.

How the CIA's negligence led to the crack cocaine epidemic
My dear brothers and sisters, I want to open up a door of much controversy in this post, I know that I will not be able to hit all the angles, but there is a whole slew of conspiracies revolving around the United States government's involvement in the introduction and spread of crack cocaine in South Central LA. I will go broader and share how crack cocaine became available to the impoverished colored communities in American inner cities.
This narrative starts in the Contras, which were an anti-communist rebel group in Nicaragua and they were fighting the Sandinista government during the 1980s. The Cold War was running tensions high at that time and Ronald Reagan saw the Contras rebel group as a useful key to fighting the spread of communism in Latin America. However, to help the Contras, the US government found itself mixed in with some nasty scandals and actions linked to drug trafficking.
Tumblr media
A large allegation came from investigative journalist Gary Webb in his “Dark Alliance” series which was published by the San Jose Mercury News. In his series, Webb points out that there was a connection between the CIA and the Contras when it came to the distribution of crack cocaine in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and other cities. His claims were met with skepticism and criticism by some in the media, but they did open the door for people to start asking questions and looking into this. The role that the US government played in drug trafficking was too evident, as the question was ultimately: Did the government officials know and do nothing to maintain their ties with the Contras, or did the government actively play a part in the distribution as well?
Tumblr media
What added to this whole controversy were the discoveries of the Kerry Committee which was chaired by the senator at the time, John Kerry. This committee’s investigation into the drug trade and the connection to the Contras in this effect found much evidence of the involvement in the drug activities by persons who were US gorvenment officials associated with the Contras. These discoveries of the reports details how certain activities by the US government were intertwined with the drug trade by the Contras group, directly implication the US gov. 
Of course, these discoveries had to be part of a larger scheme or context where the crack cocaine epidemic was devastating communities across the US, particularly affecting African American neighborhoods. The rise of crack was directly related to the availability of cocaine increasing due to the “efforts” of organized crime and the “involvement” of the United States in their self-righteous “War on Drugs”. Cocaine was the rich man’s drug and so it was nearly impossible for it to be readily available for sale in impoverished neighborhoods. But when the cheap alternative of crack cocaine came into the mix, that's when the crack era started and it just so happens that the rate of crack use sky-rocketed in the African American communities.

As we delve into this history, it's essential to recognize the layers of complexity. It's not just a story of conspiracy but a reflection of how international affairs can have unintended and far-reaching consequences on domestic issues. The impact on African American communities was profound, leaving a legacy that we are still grappling with today. The story of crack cocaine in America is a cautionary tale of political agendas, unintended consequences, and the need for a more holistic and humane approach to drug policy and socio-economic disparities. This period in history also raises important questions about accountability and transparency in government actions. The Iran-Contra affair, where the U.S. secretly sold arms to Iran to fund the Contras, highlighted the lengths to which governments might go in pursuit of foreign policy objectives, often with little regard for the potential fallout on their own citizens. The scandal underscored the need for oversight and checks and balances in government, especially when dealing with covert operations. The media's role in uncovering and reporting on these events cannot be overstated. Gary Webb's reporting, despite facing significant criticism and pushback, played a crucial role in bringing these issues to light. It underscores the importance of investigative journalism and a free press in holding those in power accountable. The crack epidemic also had a significant impact on American culture, influencing everything from music to literature. It brought attention to the struggles of inner-city communities, highlighting issues of poverty, inequality, and racial discrimination. The epidemic and its fallout have been a recurring theme in hip-hop music, movies, and literature, providing a window into the experiences of those who lived through it. In conclusion, the legacy of the crack cocaine epidemic in the U.S. is multifaceted and deeply ingrained in the fabric of American society. It's a story of international intrigue, political machinations, social upheaval, and a stark reminder of the lasting impact of policy decisions. As we reflect on this period, it's crucial to learn from the past and work towards a future where the mistakes of the past are not repeated, and the well-being of all communities is a central consideration in policy-making.
Tumblr media
"Big White Lie: The CIA and the Cocaine/Crack Epidemic" by Michael Levine and Laura Kavanau-Levine offers a detailed examination of the alleged involvement of the U.S. government, particularly the CIA, in the cocaine and crack epidemic in the United States. Drawing on Levine's experiences as a former DEA agent, the book claims that the CIA was complicit in drug trafficking operations as part of its foreign policy strategies, particularly in Latin America. The book discusses how these activities, purportedly aimed at supporting anti-communist efforts abroad, had significant and devastating consequences on American streets, especially in black communities.

if you ever hear an old person get nostalgic about "government cheese", they're talking about that time when Ronald Reagan put cocaine in the nation's Velveeta supply so that he could defeat the USSR with an army of Grilled Cheese Super Soldiers

The working theory: An unknown person walked into the white house dropped cocaine and
The working theory: An unknown person walked into the White House dropped cocaine and then left and no one has any idea who it was?
Would the media down play it if this was found in the Trump White House, it’s just a “small bag”? Did people get drugged tested? How do we know there is not a secret service member walking around as high as a kite; supposedly protecting our president? Why not drug test staff?
Can we please narrow down blind spots in the White House to protect the leader of the free world and our most important elected official?
What if this substance was Anthrax or Fentanyl (a possibility since cocaine is laced with it)? Why was the public not made aware of the other two instances where drugs were found? Every single one of my jobs has had more strict drugs and alcohol policies then the White House.
All staff on the list of 500 suspects needs to be drug test ASAP.
Direct Quotes:
The Secret Service has concluded its investigation into the small bag of cocaine found at the White House and has been unable to identify a suspect, according to a statement from the US Secret Service.
A source familiar with the investigation told CNN that the leading theory remains that it was left by one of the hundreds of visitors who entered the West Wing that weekend for tours and were asked to leave their phones inside those cubbies.
The cubbies where the small bag of cocaine was found is a blind spot for surveillance cameras,
The cubbies are located near the Situation Room, which has not been used for months due to ongoing renovations.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre expressed confidence last week that Secret Service will “get to the bottom” of the incident.
GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene told reporters that the Secret Service informed members in their briefing that it had narrowed its list of suspects down to 500 people. Greene, who said part of the briefing was classified, said she asked Secret Service if they would drug test those individuals and she said their answer was no.
A Secret Service spokesman said Thursday that “small amounts of marijuana” were twice found at the White House last year. Noarrests were made in those cases either.
