That's And what was revealed by looking at the HUD data was that, one of the reasons they have to do it; it weeds out competition. during the 1980s, thousands of middle-class African American wage-earning families with mortgages lost their homes. Why? Now the people who go on from CIA training and become There were drive-by shootings, the whole neighbourhood police officer covers, are they not inherently crooked?

And what Catherine's research showed was Alexander Solzhenitsyn. And Solzhenitsyn says that men, in that someone else came along and bought thousands of homes for order to do evil, must first believe that what they are doing is 10 to 20 cents in the dollar in the years right after the crack good, otherwise they can't do it. cocaine epidemic.

The guy who goes and buys the house at the cheap rate, how is he really connected to the CIA who are bringing in drugs from Nicaragua? Some people would say that's a simplified version of a conspiracy theory. How would you respond to those people? This is all documentable, this is provable, this is not speculation. We can trace this money very quickly; it's very easy to do. That's one of the rea- sons we've been so dangerous at From inner city should be minority. "Spatial deconcentration" they call it, which really sounds Nazi to me, but it's in the Kerner Commission Report. So the plan is literally to kill, loot...let me make it real simple...it's "Kill the Indians, take the land, take the wealth". So it is something of a mis- nomer or a misconception to believe that all of the cocaine or all of the crack cocaine was only used by African Americans.
