   We found a tragic tale scrawled on the wall. Claudia read it out loud. “Bolivia was the next country to descend into hell. The Argentine generals had made a fortune selling the land and property of the disappeared. When the money started to run out, they turned to cocaine. Bolivia was the largest producer of cocaine in the world but a civilian government had just been sworn in and the drug lords were out. The new left of center government caught the attention of the CIA which, with the aid of the generals and the drug lords planned a coup. In 1980, Klaus Barbie, the Nazi Butcher of Lyon along with an international band of fascists who had escaped Europe on the South American rat lines that America and the Vatican had set up after World War II were enlisted to lead the coup. Barbie and his thugs were all too happy to employ the tactics of torture and mayhem they had perfected during the war. When it was over, the drug lords were in power and Bolivia became the first narco state supplying most of the cocaine to the United States. The money began to flow, the generals were happy and the CIA was bankrolled to do anything it wanted. It had dealt in drugs before of course. Southeast Asia was particularly lucrative but the heroine trade was small change compared to cocaine. When congress shut off the money that the CIA needed to overthrow the government of Nicaragua, the CIA had a solution. A new drug had miraculously appeared, a new drug that addicted its victims immediately. The CIA shipped it from Latin America to the ghettos of the United States. The crack epidemic was born and the CIA sat back while the local gangs raked in the money for them.”
