On 3/3/11, President Evo Morales vowing that DEA would not be permitted to enter Bolivia, cited the book, La Guerra Falsa (The Big White Lie) as proof of CIA’S use of the War on Drugs to manipulate his and other governments.
When Bolivian president Evo Morales held up the book "La Guerra Falsa" (The Big White Lie) by Michael Levine for the photo that would rocket around the world, claiming that it was proof of DEA and CIA protecting the biggest drug traffickers in the world and using the drug war to manipulate, control and even overthrow governments, he was wrong about one thing: "The Big White Lie" does not blame DEA; it lays the blame exclusively on CIA. [Emphasis added.]
… From author's Introduction of The Big White Lie:
"In these pages I will lead you through the deep cover odyssey that I lived for six years. You will hear the words I heard, witness what I and others did, and learn the real reasons behind our cocaine and crack epidemic — the ones your elected representatives hid from you in secret sessions behind closed doors and a misuse of the secrecy laws that must have had our founding fathers twisting in their graves.
"I will give you a fly-on-the-wall look at how the CIA perverts the American justice system by protecting drug dealers and murderers from prosecution; at how even federal judges and prosecutors alleged to have violated narcotic laws were protected from investigation; at how a beautiful South American woman called 'the Queen of Cocaine,' by Pablo Escobar, responsible for shipping more cocaine into the United States than any one person I had ever known, was able to seduce the CIA into destroying her competitors, protecting her from prosecution, and paying her a small fortune in taxpayer dollars for her 'services'; at how the only ruling government of Bolivia that ever wanted to help DEA defeat their drug barons was paid for its faith in our sincerity with torture and death at the hands of CIA-sponsored paramilitary terrorists under the command of fugitive Nazi war criminals. And finally, you will realize, as I did, the ultimate betrayal of America; how, without the CIA's protection and support the resultant crack/cocaine epidemic might never have occurred.
"Without further ado, enter the inner sanctum of the biggest, whitest, deadliest lie of them all: the war on drugs."
SKY Writes; Once upon a time I was having supper with a rather high ranking Guatemalan Air Force Officer and we were discussing the fall of the Soviet Union. It was well known at the time you could buy Russian state of the art fighter jets with spare engines for $4 million bucks. We both agreed that 4 million for a 25 million dollar aircraft was one hell of a deal. But he was told our state department would not let them ( Guatemalan supposedly sovereign Government) purchase these aircraft because we (the U.S.) supplied the foreign aid and we were not buying no stinkin Russian aircraft even if they were $20 million cheaper than what the U.S. was selling them..We laughed and at the time it really was funny but....We as average citizens have no idea of the power our country has over Central and South America countries.

Again we need a major overhaul of many government agencies not just the ATF. Will it happen; you decide......If just 10% of the whistle blowers that have come forward over the years are telling the truth ( they usually bring documents with them) then the sordid tales that have been told are enough to make a grown man cry. THERE ARE NO NOBLE WARS, ONLY NOBLE WARRIORS.
