MUCH LOVE AND GRIM SOLIDARITY: BAYNARD WOODS TAKES STOCK IN THE LAST DEMOCRACY IN CRISIS COLUMN

Written by BAYNARD WOODS Posted July 5, 2018 Filed Under: COLUMNS, Democracy in Crisis

Now, more than 70 columns later, either that has changed, or I was wrong-headed from the start.

TURTLES ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THE POLITICS OF THE PSYCHEDELIC RENAISSANCE

Written by BAYNARD WOODS Posted June 19, 2018 Filed Under: COLUMNS, Democracy in Crisis

I took a massive dose of mushrooms at the beginning of the Trump regime. I was trying to prepare myself for the worst, like they do in the studies for cancer patients that have been carried out at Johns Hopkins.

DRUG WARRIORS: CIA-CONTRA COCAINE CONSPIRACY FALL GUY “FREEWAY” RICKY ROSS TALKS OLIVER NORTH

Written by BRANDON SODERBERG Posted May 29, 2018 Filed Under: COLUMNS, Democracy in Crisis, NEWS+OPINIONS

As outrageous amounts of cocaine entered the country, guys like Ross bought and sold it, and the boys below him cooked it up and sold it as crack, creating an epidemic in neighborhoods that cops couldn’t give a shit about—at least until they could arrest everybody for the drugs the government allowed into the country with a wink and a nod.

Written by BAYNARD WOODS Posted May 16, 2018 Filed Under: COLUMNS, Democracy in Crisis, Media Farm

Gutierrez knew they were serious. In April 2007, he shared a byline with a reporter named Armando Rodriguez. The story was about a third reporter, Saul Noe Martinez Ortega, who “was found wrapped in a blanket and appeared to have been dead for several days, possibly after his kidnapping that took place last Monday, April 16, in the city of Agua Prieta, Sonora.”
