In 1996, journalist Gary Webb ignited a firestorm with his "Dark Alliance" series, exposing how CIA-connected Nicaraguan drug traffickers flooded Los Angeles with cocaine in the 1980s, fueling the devastating crack epidemic in Black communities. The story became an early internet sensation, receiving over a million hits in a single day. Despite a coordinated media counterattack that ultimately cost Webb his career and contributed to his tragic suicide in 2004, subsequent CIA and Justice Department investigations would vindicate many of his core findings. How could American intelligence agencies allow drug trafficking to flourish in service of foreign policy? And why did the establishment fight so hard to bury this truth?
