Wasn't Gary Webb found with two bullets in his head? Sure, it's possible that he fired those himself. But it's still highly suspicious IMO.
I think that when Gary Webb commited suicide the CIA had already successfully disrupted his work and had no need to kill him. Example had already been given. However, was he still a threat and messing with his life wasn't an effective option, would they have killed him? They have done far worse things.
You are kidding right? Those two bullets in his head were a clear message.
...if you would like to explain yourself [D-voter] rather than hiding, im ready. Here is an opportunity to look around and see how it really works:

feel free to offer your service to your country, if you think you qualify.
Short answer probably is we don't know what they're doing now because it's still classified and no one inside has leaked much recently and no reporter has gotten a break. As for not reporting what /may/ be happening NPR is pretty good about not wildly speculating with no evidence.
"Operation Mockingbird is an alleged large-scale program of the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) that began in the early 1950s and attempted to manipulate news media for propaganda purposes."
Puts a lil spin on "fake news"
Hard to believe this all doesn't go far beyond a mere prostituion service for the rich and powerful.
I find these archives very useful in understanding how they operate and what methods that use. 60 years later but are they now that different than before? Some things don't change.

Definitely worth a read.
The current narrative being pushed is that Epstein was simply a pimp for the rich and powerful. It's clear there was much more going on though.

What is happening now is a 'conspiracy theory' until at some point in the future it becomes historical fact.
Who cares what the CIA did 60 years ago? Why isn't NPR reporting on what they may be doing now?
