Crazy Conspiracy Theories That Are 100% True

Postby Malcom West » Jul 25th, '11, 02:42

OK, I in general don't support conspiracies. Immortal Technique is a moron, 2Pac ain't in Cuba. However, sometimes they're right.
Check this link, crazy stuff:

Basically, I don't think there is some huge universal conspiracy. There's just a lot of criminals in every aspect of life.
This one really stands out to me:
CIA Drug Running in LA: Pulitzer Prize Award winning journalist Gary Webb exposed this alongside LAPD Narcotics Officer turned whislteblower and author Michael Ruppert, CIA Contract Pilot Terry Reed, and many others. In August 1996 the San Jose Mercury News published Webb’s “Dark Alliance”, a 20,000 word, three-part investigative series which alleged that Nicaraguan drug traffickers had sold and distributed crack cocaine in Los Angeles during the 1980s, and that drug profits were used to fund the CIA-supported Nicaraguan Contras. Webb never asserted that the CIA directly aided drug dealers to raise money for the Contras, but he did document that the CIA was aware of the cocaine transactions and the large shipments of cocaine into the U.S. by the Contra personnel. “Dark Alliance” received national attention. At the height of the interest, the web version of it on San Jose Mercury News website received 1.3 million hits a day. According to the Columbia Journalism Review, the series became “the most talked-about piece of journalism in 1996 and arguably the most famous—some would say infamous—set of articles of the decade.”

Did 1.3million people even have the internet in 1996?

Hahaha yeah I caught that too. According to this site... http://www.internetworldstats.com/emarketing.htm
...there were like 36 million. And you have to remember, the internet didn't have TONS of site back then This was probably THE thing to look at on it, like Friday on steroids. It's very plausible to me.
