Episode 60 - Gary Webb and The Dark Alliance

Cutting through the Bull in the Post-Truth Apocalypse

A lapsed quasi-satanist, a self-proclaimed science buff (with only a GCSE grade B in Physics) and a drug-addled lunatic attempt to navigate the irradiated wastelands and dung-hills of ignorance that is the Post-Truth Apocalypse. A smorgasbord of colourful language, drunken ramblings and the occasional "fact". Fact. Hosted by Ben, Gaz and Mike. This week the chaps talk about Gary Webb and his book "The Dark Alliance", all dating back to the Iran-contra affair of 1985. Did the CIA use their contra contacts to flood the streets of LA with crack cocaine to fund their black budget and finance revolutions in south American countries? Did "Freeway" Rick Ross really pull in over 3 million dollars of crack sales on a good day? Then the boys go onto to discuss Gary Webb's journalistic piece de resistance "The Dark Alliance", in which he exposed the international scandal revealing the link between the CIA and the narcos. Did Gary Webb kill himself? Was he "suicided" by the CIA? Also, a ghost plays knock door run, UFOs over the Irish coast, did chem-trails cause the Californian wildfires?, and tragically Blobby World has been vandalised.
