On December 10, 2004, Gary Webb took his own life. It is true that there were two bullet wounds in his head, which has raised suspicions that his death might not have been a suicide. However, no evidence has yet been presented contradicting the coroner’s findings, so we have to accept it as such for now.
I fundamentally disagree with the premise of this statement and you should also.
“What we are being told happened here is completely impossible, but no one has presented anything more plausible, so we must accept this as truth and move on.”
Absolutely not. Bullshit. Fuck that. You should be ashamed of yourself for even writing that in public. You’re being lied to, right to your face, boldly and unashamedly, to rug-sweep a set of extremely illegal governmental actions without any sort of culpability - and your response to this is “Well, better not worry about that then!”
How could you possibly think that’s the correct response to that?
Bit late to do something about it now, we missed that bus, but I can draw a straight line from Ronald Reagan to Contra to this to the fascist hellhole of an American society that find ourselves in in the current day. If anyone had held their government responsible for anything it has done at any point in time, we might have shifted that path just a little.
Bullseye. Anyone swallowing the official story about Webb is naive at best. I mean what the fuck “It’s impossible so we must accept it as truth?”, again what the actual fuck? How does someone think like this?
The proof we do have is that Webb became extremely depressed because of all the media slander, his loss of credibility as a journalist from his peers and the general population and ultimately, the resignation from his position, inability to find a job, and loss of his mortgage and house a week prior to his death.
What we have zero proof of is why the CIA would want to kill someone that didn’t break the significant story in the first place, was already widely discredited and shunned, and EIGHT years after the news had died down.
Also, it is not impossible to have a suicide with two bullets. It happens rarely when the first shot fails to be immediately lethal. Considering the first bullet went through his left cheek, it probably didn’t kill him. It was the second shot that hit an artery.
On top of that, Webb’s own family firmly believe it was a suicide and they would appreciate it if you would treat it as such as they knew him a lot more than you did.

Then prove it instead of just speculating.

Yeah, I’ll get right on that, 21 years after his death. I was 9 years old at the time.
And surely, the CIA has never ever had someone killed under suspicious circumstances…
Or engineered said circumstances…
Or blamed an obvious murder on suicide…
