Gary Webb

And we know that a lot of people with a lot of money and a lot at stake are invested in Boeing.

So is it really that far out of the realm of possibility that somebody could have killed this man? And it's really starting to smell like a Gary Webb type deal.

This article was authored by Alex Hammer.

A former Boeing staffer who once raised concerns about the company's production standards has been found dead in the U.S. John Barnett, 62, was found dead in his truck in a hotel parking lot in South Carolina, his lawyer said Monday, seven years after he retired following a 32-year career.

And so I bet at some point it was way up there.

Yeah, the first article published exclusively to the internet was for the San Jose Mercury News by Gary Webb, where he was exposing the CIA drug trafficking and stuff.

Oh,

interesting.

well.

I mean, I never had the biggest problem with the modern day CIA outside of, you know, you know, assassinating Gary Webb and peddling drugs in America and everything they did to the Black Panthers in the 60s and stuff like that.

You know, I guess other than those horrifying events against our own people, modern day CIA, you know, I understand they have to go around the world and take care of terrorists and stuff like that.

It's not an easy job.

At least he didn't get thrown out a window.

Like his other buddy did Gary Webb, 2004.

You remember old Gary Webb from the San Jose Mercury news.

He was thoughts and prayers to Gary Webb for his suicide.

I didn't know you could shoot yourself twice in the back of the head.

That's impressive.

yeah and they

just play stupid they're like iran contra even part of that money the bulk of it uh was from contraband sold to iran through israel it was not from narcotics like and i looked through that gary webb stuff and i was like yeah i mean you can't say there was no narcotic money there was but that wasn't how they did it it was selling contraband

Yeah, no, that was, look, the division, and, you know, I got sort of some firsthand knowledge, or let's call it secondhand information from a firsthand source.

So my business partner, Roberto Nieves, Robert Nieves, he was the country attache in Costa Rica during all that affair.

So they weren't hard up for cash.

It was more the various Southern Front country commanders, a lot of them were involved in financing their own retirement programs.

uh with drug money but uh the problem I had with Gary Webb's article was he said with respect to Bobby nievis and Bobby was known as Bobby snow okay if you know Spanish the word for snow is nevar Nieve.

Okay? He was not known as Bobby Snow.

Whoopsies.

Like Gary Webb? Gary

Webb did it twice.

No, maybe the Enron guy did it.

Maybe I'm just thinking of Gary Webb.

I might be intoxicated.

Who's the one, the Clintons, they always said that they killed? That one's Vince Foster.

It wasn't shot twice, but there's...

Even journalists find themselves caught in a crossfire.

We're going to talk about a man by the name of Gary Webb, who I periodically followed.

Now, his name might be unfamiliar to a lot of folks.

He garnered a great deal of public attention during his journalistic career.
