      exactly. And the pharmaceutical companies were far more egregious because they deceived the public and led people seeking healing and relief to addiction…atleast with crack dealers, you knew you were going to get high and it was your choice….

      No the CIA didn't. Certain people in the CIA looked the other way. Stop making up false narratives. The CIA never made anyone take the drugs. The CIA never stood on the corner in my neighborhood selling drugs. Dumbass Pooky that failed out of high school was on the corner.

    • @darrylnelson05
      @darrylnelson05 4 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      @Paul Glenn You should read it. The CIA wasn't distributing drugs nationwide. Barry Seal was working with the Cartel and he took advantage of the fact that CIA wanted to keepvthe communist out of Central America more than they wanted him. The DEA not CIA busted Barry Seal. The CIA had a political agenda against communist not the intention of putting drugs in the Black community. Those drugs were not dropped into Black neighborhoods. They were sold by Pooky and his friends. Pooky didnt got his drugs from a CIA warehouse. Pooky got his drugs from "Pablo" and "Grieselda".

      What actually happened was, he didn't kill anybody with his hands, but the system screwed him. Some people admitted that they shot and killed people while they were hanging with Ray. When he he found out, he was pissed about it, but the way the system works was, it www as about making an example out of him, so they're getting him for the drugs, plus the bodys other people caught that were close to him.

    I saw his face when they talked about his mom. And the fact that he let his mom get the less sentence I can see why he will just give up everything. That’s his mother. not no dude down the street. The CIA made sure the drugs got to the wholesalers in the USA then made a Drug war on purpose. Then locked up people for life when it was the CIA in the first place that let this happen and knew the out come. He’s locked up somewhere no one knows I hope he is doing good and his family. God bless him he is so smart and kind it’s hurts me to watch this at times. Rayful keep your head up and wish I could write you. God bless.
