## Resource

Did the C.I.A. actually introduce crack cocaine into the U.S.? Were they running drugs throughout the world to fund secret operations? When did it start and how long has it been going on? On this episode we look into Gary Webb's findings, the propaganda war that ensued and try to get to the truth of the situation. What the C.I.A. did probably won't surprise you given their history but how and why they did it is the story! Email us at: downtherh@protonmail.com
