Webb Spoke Of Death Threats, 'Government People' Around His Home

UPDATE: Coroner: Gary Webb's Death Confirmed as Suicide

First it was multiple gunshot wounds, then it was just one and now it's
multiple again. Would somebody stealing your motorcycle really drive you over
the edge?

Credible sources who were close to Gary Webb have stated that he was receiving
death threats, being regularly followed, and that he was concerned about
strange individuals who were seen on multiple occasions breaking into and
leaving his house before his apparent 'suicide' on Friday morning.

Webb, a Pullitzer prize winning journalist, exposed CIA drug trafficking
operations in a series of books and reports for the San Jose Mercury News. He
was found dead on Friday morning in what the police said was an apparent
suicide.

Webb's 1996 series in the Mercury News alleged that Nicaraguan drug traffickers
had sold tons of crack cocaine in Los Angeles and funneled millions of dollars
in profits to the CIA-supported Nicaraguan Contras during the 1980s.

Today's Alex Jones Show, aired on the GCN radio network featured interviews
with Chico Brown and Cele Castillo. Castillo is author of "Powder Burns",
Cocaine, Contras & The Drug Connection. A retired DEA agent, Castillo
personally witnessed CIA drug smuggling operations. Chico Brown, was former
business parter and co-defendent with 'Freeway' Ricky Ross, the biggest drug
dealer on the west coast supplied by the CIA.

Ricky Ross, one of Gary Webb's primary sources had spoken to Gary in the days
before his death. Gary told Ricky that he had seen men scaling down the pipes
outside his home and that they were obviously not burglars but 'government
people'. Gary also told Ricky that he had been receiving death threats and was
being regularly followed. It was also mentioned that Gary was working on a new
story concerning the CIA and drug trafficking.

Gary described the men around his home as 'professionals' who jumped from his
balcony and ran away when Gary confronted them

Alex jones, while working with documentary film maker Kevin Booth has
interviewed ricky ross many times from his federal jail cell in north texas

On Monday night Kevin Booth broke the news to Ricky Ross during Ricky’s once
a week call that he makes to Kevin.

The tape of that conversation which is edited to omit personal comments, is
available by clicking here.

Original Associated Press reports stated that Webb had died of gunshot wounds
(plural) to the face. This was later changed to 'single gunshot wound' when
people began to question how or why a man would shoot himself in the face
twice. This represents a concentrated effort to cover up the nature of Webb's
death. There have also been reports that the coroner on the scene had
originally reported 'multiple gunshot wounds' but later changed his story.

Newspapers also reported the fact that Webb's body was found by removal men
without questioning why a man who was about to commit suicide would plan a
house move.

The Miami Herald and LA Times continue to attack Webb even after his death in
their obituariues published yesterday. Both claimed that his work was
discredited despite the fact that Webb was vindicated by congressional
investigations.

Former DEA agent Cele Castillo concurs that Webb was murdered and that in such
a 'revenge hit' situation it was common in his experience that the murderers
would have likely talked to Webb at length about how and why they were about to
kill him.

In a death of this nature a homicide investigation would be par for the course
but the media is complicit in bleating like well-behaved sheep to the
acceptance that this was a suicide.
