It was suicide. Period. The family has seen the notes. This reporter talked to the family, and the family is convinced that it is suicide. The notes (there are multiple ones, he wrote a note to each family member apparently) are hand-written by Gary Webb, they said. This reporter looked at the actual coroner’s report. The first bullet took off Gary’s jaw because Gary flinched, Gary got it right with the second bullet, the angles and powder burns are consistent with suicide, nothing suspicious there. The second autopsy (the family requested an outside coroner come in to double-check) found nothing suspicious either, no drugs or alcohol or bruising or anything. The family commissioned a private coroner to do a third autopsy, but do not expect to find anything there either, they’re doing it mostly to shut up the conspiracy theorists who insist it had to be a CIA hit. If this was a CIA hit, it was a lot more competent than any other CIA black ops operation I’ve ever heard of.
Frankly, the CIA didn’t need to hit Gary. The CIA destroyed Gary Webb, to the point where Gary was tossing off no-brainers about red light cameras and video games as a part-time journalist for an alternative rag (i.e., maybe $1K/month total income) and was about to become one of those homeless bums you see shuffling around on the streets. Gary decided it was time to check out because he didn’t want to live that way. That’s how the CIA works nowdays — they kill journalists the long way, not with a bullet, but by making them unemployable, using Agency assets such as Washington Post reporter Walter Pincus (who has admitted that in the past he was on the CIA payroll — imagine that!) to send the pack of presstitutes against any journalist who goes against them. Sure, the CIA murdered Gary Webb — but the murder occurred in 1997, not in 2004. The murder occurred when the CIA destroyed his career. It just took seven years for the bullet to finally arrive at his head, and when it did, it was by his own hand.
(As to how credible Michael C. Ruppert is — there’s things I wouldn’t trust him on, but this isn’t one of them. As a former cop who was one of Webb’s sources in connecting the dots, he would be the first to yell "foul!" if there was even the slightest possibility it wasn’t suicide).
