Gary Webb`s collection of “The Dark Alliance” articles can be read online at various sites.

In 1997, Webb made one of the most dramatic statements about modern day journalism.

“If we had met five years ago, you wouldn’t have found a more staunch defender of the newspaper industry than me … And then I wrote some stories that made me realize how sadly misplaced my bliss had been.

The reason I’d enjoyed such smooth sailing for so long hadn’t been, as I’d assumed, because I was careful and diligent and good at my job … The truth was that, in all those years, I hadn’t written anything important enough to suppress …” — Gary Webb

The Bible refers to the drug trade as “sorcery.”

Revelation 9:21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
