Despite warnings from drug kingpins and CIA operatives to stop his investigation, Webb keeps digging to uncover a conspiracy with explosive implications. His journey takes him from the prisons of California to the villages of Nicaragua to the highest corridors of power in Washington, DC&#8212;-and draws the kind of attention that threatens not just his career, but his family and life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The movie basically strengthens the beliefs that were already out there but, was not called out by the media or said out loud in public. Many in the communities understood what was going on but Webb&#8217;s story was never told fully, he died before it could catch breath. He was a courageous journalist and just maybe this story was his calling and why he came to us for a very short time.<\/p>\n<p>After the movie showing&#8230;.people asked questioned of a panel which included Rick Ross, the poster person of the epidemic-the crack trade back then, even though he was black and had no planes or ships etc.\u00a0Ross explained how he was Oliver North&#8217;s\u00a0 co-conspirator , yet he was sent to jail and North got called to Hollywood it seemed. This movie showed that Webb did not die in vain, he was the victor and the reason why\u00a0 drug- dealing in America, while not gone from our streets, has died-down significantly.\u00a0 which\u00a0was the best hope. We would preferred that it was gone from the streets all-together and for good.<\/p>\n<p>I implore all to go see the movie.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bundiblog.com\/blog\/2014\/10\/10\/kill-the-messenger\/20141008_222912\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-998\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-998 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/bundiblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/20141008_222912-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"20141008_222912\" width=\"236\" height=\"393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bundiblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/20141008_222912-180x300.jpg 180w, https:\/\/bundiblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/20141008_222912.jpg 384w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 236px) 100vw, 236px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/bundiblog.com\/blog\/2014\/10\/10\/kill-the-messenger\/20141008_222829\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-999\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-999\" src=\"https:\/\/bundiblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/20141008_222829-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"20141008_222829\" width=\"223\" height=\"371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bundiblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/20141008_222829-180x300.jpg 180w, https:\/\/bundiblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/20141008_222829.jpg 384w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 223px) 100vw, 223px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Photos taken by: \u00a0C.
