Mumia Abu-Jamal

When you first hear about this so called narco terrorism arrest in Venezuela, I urge you to think back, if you can, and you probably can research it online, think of a name; Gary Webb, of The Mercury News. This was a journalist in a small, tiny coastal newspaper who broke the story about the CIA running drugs in the Black community and other communities in California and across the nation, right. They were importing drugs and using the money to support the Contras, right, in South America, a war against Nicaragua by their neighbors.

Think about the lives that were destroyed by those drugs so that the CIA could launch a drug war against Americans in America. Then ask yourself, who are the narco terrorists and what happened to them? Were they marched into prison, not yet, and it will never happen. When you hear the government tell you something and you think it’s not so, check it out, and nine times out of 10, you’ll find it’s not so.

Narco terrorism is just a political pretext to sell the war to frightened, anxious people, because you know in your guts, in your heart, in your mind, that the attack on Venezuela was about getting oil because the biggest reserves of petroleum on Earth are under the soil of Venezuela. With love, not fear. This is Mumia Abu Jamal.
