Has the CIA Ever Trafficked Drugs to Fund Political Factions or Operations?

The general consensus with the corroborating claims is yes. The Iran-Contra conflict specifically was centered on this particular type of scandal. The CIA and military were allegedly funding Contra rebels in staging the overthrow of the Sandinista government that was then distributed and sold in global markets, and used to provide the Nicaraguan Contras with weapons and training in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras through a CIA asset named Danilo Blandon.

Simo Hayha, The White Death in his winter camouflage, 1940

Simo Häyhä, also known as “The White Death,” was a Finnish sniper who is credited with killing 505 enemy troops within 100 days during the Winter War against the Soviet Union from 1939 to 1940.

Simo Häyhä’s involvement in the Winter War was very extraordinary. With his Mosin-Nagant M91 rifle, he would dress in white winter camouflage, and carry with him only a day’s worth of supplies and ammunition. While hiding out in the snow, he would then take out any Russian who entered his killing zone.

Questions and Answers For Couples Sitting On The Fence of Parenthood

Q: Will it make me fulfilled?

A: Ummm sometimes? Honestly, the first year of her life, I felt less fulfilled than I ever have because I was spending most of my time taking care of a tiny baby that couldn’t talk or interact in a way that was interesting to me, and it meant that I couldn’t do things that really DO make me fulfilled, like writing and creating. Now that she’s almost 3, I have a lot more moments where I feel proud or amused or loving toward her, but to be honest, I don’t feel fulfilled by our relationship. It’s something different.

george stinney jr

In 1944 a black teenager named George Stinney Jr was accused of murdering two white girls on flimsy evidence, he was tried without legal representation with an all-white jury, and he was executed by electric chair at the age of 14.

He was accused of killing two white girls in a rural part of a South Carolina mill town. He actually participated in the town’s search party for the girls, but he made the fatal mistake of telling people that he had seen the girls on the day they died. One day later, he was arrested and his family was forced to leave the town. His father was fired from his job at the mill, and his siblings were told that they would be lynched if they didn’t leave immediately. The court refused to hear his appeal, and the appeals on his behalf to the governor for clemency were denied. He is the youngest American to be sentenced to death and executed.

Executioners noted that he was too small for the electric chair when he died; the straps did not fit him, an electrode was too big for his leg, and the boy had to sit on a bible to fit properly in the chair.
