That's murky. The possibility of them knowing is there, but the truth of the matter is that we don't know if the transport of the weapons was sub-contracted to people who were not employees of the CIA, which would have been the means of bringing cocaine back after dropping off the weapons.
Also, there is no racial component, I assume, here. Just bringing coke powder into the USA. Not inventing crack and packaging it expressly for the inner cities.
That would be correct. From a purely racial point of view, saying that the CIA was purposefully flooding black neighborhoods is demonstrably false. But the growing influx of cocaine got to the inner-cities in the form of crack. The main ingredient of crack can be traced back to Mena. A lot of weight got there.
Still want to hear the Foster connection.
I remember this from an article entitled "The Name of the Rose" by L.J. Davis. Here's an FR thread that I started asking for more information on this article.
