Big Pharma's 'Death Blow' to America's Working Class? The Opioid Crisis, the Deep State, and the Mysterious Death of Gary Webb

It's no secret. America's working and middle class families have been under assault for decades. Stagnant wages, dwindling opportunities, as well as the skyrocketing costs of housing and living expenses have been slowly draining the life out of millions of American families for many years.

To add to the problem, after the election of Barack Obama we saw a dramatic increase in the amount of deaths related to opioid use, the emergence of a full blown opioid crisis has further devastated countless communities across America.

Big pharma companies are now facing a record number of lawsuits for their part in sparking the epidemic. The Daily Caller reports that as of 2016 "opioid overdose made up a staggering 66 percent of all drug overdose deaths --- surpassing the annual number of lives lost to breast cancer." They go on to report that there are now over 75 cities and states mounting lawsuits against pharmaceutical companies for helping spark the crisis through "knowingly false advertising."

Last week, officials in Winnebago County, Wis., joined 11 other counties in another massive lawsuit against big pharmaceutical companies, claiming that drug makers "flooded patients with dangerous prescription opioids" while fully aware that, “their opioid products were addictive, subject to abuse, and not safe or efficacious for long-term use,” reports Oshkosh Northwestern.

In some ways, this current crisis can be compared to the emergence of the crack-cocaine epidemic in the 1980's and 1990's. Several theories have claimed that the CIA intentionally ignited the crack-cocaine epidemic back in the 1980's as a means to generate revenue for secret operations, with others believing that their goal was to intentionally target
and break down African American families.

Gary Webb wrote about the CIA's intentional flooding of crack-cocaine into African American communities in 1996. An article from The Telegraph summarizes his findings with some key quotes from Webb's book 'Dark Alliance':

[Quote]
“It is one of the most bizarre alliances in modern history. The union of a U.S. backed army attempting to overthrow a revolutionary socialist government and the uzi-toting “gangstas” of Compton and South-Central Los Angeles.”

Perhaps most damningly, Webb wrote that crack was virtually unobtainable in the city’s black neighbourhoods before “members of the CIA’s army” began supplying it at rock-bottom prices in the Eighties.

"For the better part of a decade,” he wrote in the intro to the first piece in the trilogy, “a San Francisco Bay Area drug ring sold tonnes of cocaine to the Crips and Bloods street gangs of Los Angeles, and funnelled millions in drug profits to a Latin American guerrilla army run by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency.

He wrote about the cocaine trafficking trial of a former Contra leader named Oscar Danilo Blandon Reyes who he said testified that the CIA agent who commanded the guerrilla army told them that “the ends justify the means,” and that they sold almost a tonne of cocaine in 1981 alone, the profits of which were going to the Contra revolution."

After publishing this damning evidence against the CIA, Webb died in mysterious circumstances "Webb was found dead in his Carmichael home on December 10, 2004, with two gunshot wounds to the head." His death was then unbelievably ruled "a suicide" by the Sacramento County coroner's office."

For years whistle blowers have alleged that the CIA has pushed conflict in the Middle East as a means of securing resources for the productions of opiates which are then transported to the West. In his book Rogue State, former State Department employee William Blum called out the CIA for their role in the cultivation and transportation of opium around the world.

“The CIA flew the drugs all over Southeast Asia, to sites where the opium was processed into heroin, and to trans-shipment points on the route to Western customers.”

Is the opioid crisis this decades version of the same nefarious Deep State tactics which tore apart African American communities, now being aimed primarily at white working class families?

In October, President Trump called the opioid epidemic a "public health emergency". However, Jeff Sessions appears to be cracking down on relatively harmless marijuana use, while big pharma continues to push much more dangerous opioids to the public, as drug overdoses have now become the biggest killer of Americans under 50. Is the opioid crisis just the result of corporate greed? Or was this epidemic supposed to be an intentional death blow against the struggling working class in America?
