Listen Later

Cele ("SEH-lay") Castillo, former DEA agent, blew the whistle on the CIA trafficking drugs into America in the 1980s (the Iran-Contra scandal).  The CIA funded and created death squads, and assassinated a lot of presidents, in Latin America.  The FBI monitored and harassed Cele and Gary Webb and Congresswoman Maxine Waters as they exposed the truth.  (A colonel who laundered money and ran drugs for the CIA said he was in a firefight in South America with a bunch of Germans in Nazi uniforms.)  In 2021, TrineDay will publish a new edition of Cele’s book, Powder Burns: Cocaine, Contras and the Drug War.
