"The Dark Alliance," "Kill The Messenger," Gary Webb (1pub2/13)

      


Mostly, I’m mad at the rest of us. All too often reporters, editors and media bosses forget what our job is — the responsibility we have been entrusted with. Our responsibility isn’t to our egos, to be first, to win awards or to any arbitrary agendas set by bosses. The media’s responsibility is to pursue truth-telling with intellectual honesty and fairness. To understand that no one story, no singular investigation will encompass the entirety of truth’s intricacies. If we follow that approach, debate and democracy will benefit ...

Gary Webb, OH! what a
woe story woven, America’s nightmare threads bare
travesty, crack cocaine junk tale

US, A! oh say
what can we, see now years behind
old, glory’s false flag stories

Covering up, WAVING> lunatic druggies
poly addicts puppets, automaton fag whores mo
fo, bad militant mutha f*kers

Salty crackers, YES? no perhaps
never can be, certain holes in brains
eating, cell synapses dead weight

North Atlantic, Treaty! Organization’s Wars
economy global grease, flesh trading zealotry profession
growing, sentient beings aware

Unnatural doing, Life? isn’t
natural energy occurring, dense coarse gross subtle
shadows, lights turning on [Roberta Kelly, Mar 27, 2013]

Starring Jeremy Renner as the late Gary Webb, the movie of Webb’s investigation of the CIA’s Contra-cocaine scandal – and of Webb’s destruction by mainstream news outlets – is set to begin filming this summer. If Hollywood gets the story right, it will be a dark and enlightening tale.

While there was the usual glitz and glamour at this year’s Oscars, the star not strolling down the red carpet was actually an intelligence arm of the U.S. government. By bestowing “Argo” with its top award, the Academy gave props to the CIA for the forgotten heroic mission to save six Americans trapped in Iran. “Zero Dark Thirty,” also up for best picture, portrayed CIA analysts as heroes ridding the planet of a psychopathic murderer.

But the CIA is not likely to be singing “Hurrah For Hollywood” for long. The glow from Hollywood’s bright lights the CIA has been basking in of late might fade to black as a new movie starts shooting this summer. “Killing The Messenger,” starring Jeremy Renner of “The Hurt Locker,” “The Avengers” and “The Bourne Legacy” as journalist Gary Webb, will focus on the CIA’s not so flattering side, casting another shadow on the dark, murky world of warcraft.
