Summary: The lie of the Contra-coke connection

I have read quite a lot about the Contra-coke connection, and I believe
that that was invented by those who want drugs legalized to confuse the
opposition and divide them so they can go in and conquer.  I believe that
perhaps the Contras themselves have been selling drugs to support them-
selves, and the left-wing media is inventing a link to the CIA to dis-
credit Reagan's efforts to eliminate drugs from America.  I first saw
this story in January in our Universtiy's commie rag.  At first I thought
this was true, but it seems that has been the only place I saw it until
the Iran-Contra hearings last summer.
