came across this on youtube. taped off TV. basically it's an investigation into the murder of two teenagers in Mena Arkansas in the 1980s. The airstrip in the small rural town was being used by the CIA as a destination for cocaine being flown in from South America. The CIA was trafficking cocaine to finance their covert wars against Socialists in Central America - this was done with the tacit approval of the Reagan administration.

The theory is that these two teenaged boys accidentally stumbled on something they weren't supposed to see, and were killed on the spot. Their killers then staged their death to make it appear they had been hit by a train. really interesting stuff

here's a link providing background to the CIA, the crack cocaine epidemic, and covert wars in Central America.

This series - called Dark Alliance - was written by a journalist named Gary Webb in 1996. It was an amazing piece of journalism which showed that in the 1980s, the CIA was flying in plane loads of cocaine and selling it to drug dealers in South Cetral Los Angeles. The profits from these drug sales were then used to fund their covert war against the Sandinistas in Nicaragua. It was part of the Iran-Contra scam. funneling drugs and weapons around the globe.

This coincided with the emergence of a very cheap and very addictive smokable form of cocaine.. which came to be known as crack. The result was an epidemic of crack cocaine and gang violence in South Central LA.. which soon spread to other cities across the nation.

The author - who told his friends that he was being followed, and was not depressed - was found dead from a gunshot wound to the head in 2004 - allegedly a suicide.
