Facing years in prison on federal arms trafficking charges, former US Green Beret and mercenary Jordan Goudreau presents his side of the story in this explosive tell-all interview with The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal.

Lampooned in the media for his failed "Bay of Piglets" plot, Jordan Goudreau insists he was the scapegoat for a clandestine 2020 "Operation Gideon" which was well known to and blessed by the highest levels of the US government.

Jordan Goudreau details previously unseen court documents and FBI files containing testimony of those involved in the plan to invade Venezuela and overthrow President Nicolás Maduro.

The files include FBI interviews with participants in the plot which demonstrate foreknowledge of the plot by Trump associates, leaders of the government of Colombia, CIA assets, and officials working directly under Vice President Mike Pence and Trump, and strongly suggest their support for it.

This interview provides a revealing backdrop for the latest phase of the US assault on Venezuela, as Trump directs a deadly naval blockade against the oil-rich country and authorizes "lethal" CIA action against its leadership.

Watch the Hollywood film "Kill the Messenger" from the 1980s. "Kill the Messenger" details Ronald Reagan using the CIA to bring drugs into America.

Google AI Overview

The claim that Kill the Messenger details Ronald Reagan using the CIA to bring drugs into the US is not accurate. The 2014 film, based on the real story of investigative reporter Gary Webb, details the CIA's complicity in allowing drug trafficking to fund the Nicaraguan Contras during the Reagan administration. It does not claim Reagan ordered the program.

Here is a breakdown of the claims presented in Kill the Messenger and the historical context behind them:

Kill the Messenger is based on reporter Gary Webb's 1996 "Dark Alliance" series. Published in the San Jose Mercury News, Webb's series alleged that a California-based drug ring with ties to the CIA-backed Contras sold tons of cut-rate cocaine in Los Angeles. The profits, Webb reported, were funneled back to the Contras to fund their covert war in Nicaragua.

The series linked drug trafficking to the crack epidemic. Webb suggested that the flood of cocaine allowed the drug ring to introduce inexpensive crack cocaine to African-American communities, contributing significantly to the crack epidemic of the 1980s.

The film documents the backlash against Webb. After the series was published, Webb faced intense criticism from larger news organizations like the Washington Post and Los Angeles Times, who worked to discredit his reporting. This backlash eventually led to his resignation from the newspaper.

Subsequent investigations supported some of Webb's claims, but not all. A CIA Inspector General report acknowledged that the agency had worked with Contra supporters accused of drug trafficking. It also found that the CIA had deliberately withheld information from investigators.
However, the same report—along with a Department of Justice investigation—concluded that there was no evidence of a conspiracy by CIA officials to bring drugs into the country.

It is important to note that the film is a dramatization of events and not a historical documentary. While it reflects the widely accepted understanding that the CIA knowingly tolerated drug trafficking by the Contras, it does not provide evidence that President Reagan or the CIA officially orchestrated the program to bring drugs into the US.
