responsibility for the plane crash which killed its president last april but it does moscow to carry out further investigations however the authors of the report say it sound and there's nothing more they can add their. side of the key arms reduction treaty with the u.s. and relations with the e.u. and nato are highlighted by russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov summed up the kremlin's international actions in twenty ten at a press conference in moscow. and as we reported a cholera outbreak tortuously slow reconstruction grips haiti a year after the earthquake but for many haitian immigrants in the u.s. that's what the future might hold for them as they face deportation. next a man who was once responsible for flooding california streets with most of its hard drugs now he tells r t why it's changed direction. freeway ricky ross is a street legend he went from being

a poor illiterate aspiring tennis star to one of the biggest drug dealers in los angeles history after being part of an international drug ring and making up to two million dollars a day he's starting over from scratch and trying to build another empire this time the legal way twenty years of prison have turned this former kingpin into a fully literate activist who is trying to make a difference by keeping kids from following in his footsteps today he says with r.t. to talk about his rise and fall and to discuss his connection to the cia contra costa oversea ricky ross thank you for joining us today a lot of poor neighborhoods here in los angeles have suffered from gangs and drug abuse and a lot of people blame you for that now how do you think that you can help and rebuild these communities when i think i'm the perfect one for this job that needs

to be done because i mean if you haven't lived this life. it's like an experiment you know my life has been an experiment in art had i not been through this experiment and i would know what happened you know most people don't know what happened in south central they don't know how you can start selling drugs they don't know how you get out of selling drugs they don't know how you can go from being an image of it twenty years ago to being as literate as i am now you know basically i do a lot of work you know like i said i'm fond of my paper work today and my last year what do you think about the rapper rick ross taken on your persona. he's never sold drugs he's never been involved in any type of crime you know he was a college boy played football from what i understand and it was a prison guard you know and you know to be a prison guard your record has to be spotless you know so he's definitely creative fried and. you know he's perpetrating

a lot what role does the u.s. government play in bringing crack cocaine into l a's poor black neighborhoods the government needed this money to fight this war when a grunt. are going to send a nice to russia hey gay to send a nice is one hundred million dollars to fight with congress to cut off all the money from the contras so now the sandinistas had an advantage. reagan and bush had made the contras did pay peat they felt that if russia took over nicaragua they would be too close to america they would be in our backyard. i believe that they felt it was more valuable to sacrifice. particular secular sector of america and a race of people in america and order to save the whole country so they let these

guys open up pipelines planned on norman messes and the rest of the crew did work with the new ground connection because i knew about ten to fifteen different to go rob ones that was all inside of this unit contra organization. that was selling drugs so by the i'm allowing these guys or basically turning a blind eye because i don't think the government necessarily gave them the drugs or not but in a sense they sang to me because they turn a blind eye they knew that these guys were selling drugs but they did absolutely nothing about it i also believe that had they not let these guys sell drugs is possible i would have never become a drug dealer but what does that say about our government when they're looking the other way while a deadly substance is coming into our communities for the sake of fighting a communist regime in central america. says that our government will sacrifice of

people to accomplish to go and this is not the first time that they've done that we've known numerous times history where they have sacrificed expressly to back me up in that case it's tough to hear that the ends justify the means they felt it was more valuable for them to keep russia out of america you know and for america to keep its way of life do you think that the cia or any other sort of government agency is still helping to funnel drugs into america. well i mean if we look at afghanistan you know when taliban controlled. afghanistan the flow of heroin hundred was was almost zero degree and now it's you know one hundred percent more than it was at that time so. makes you wonder i mean you know what is really going on how can the taliban control drugs and now america can't you know

control you know heroin is on the rise in. and it's afghanistan heroin they see a connection to the contras and the huge influx of drugs into los angeles wasn't exposed wasn't made public until journalists k. web started to report on it gary was on a mission you know. he didn't approve what i did but he said if i was in prison all of the players should be in prison right there with me and that i should be used. you know he felt that justice should be. level you know what i'm saying not to where. you got political poor you got money or. that you can excuse justice that's how gary felt everything that gary webb said was eventually proven to be factual so why do you think that it was so controversial when he was actually coming out with it and why

do you think that he was attacked so much by the mainstream media when they really tried to attack him on is that they tried to say he said it the government deliberately. put the drugs into black community you know they took his words and twisted i mean i never saw where he said did he think that you know the bush administration or the reagan administration anybody went into office and say you know we're going to. put these drugs into the black community to destroy the community that's not what he said he said. what i understood him to say is that they knew it was taking place and that their workers because there are big become true words on the cia payroll only was their employee and they did nothing about it now in some speeches gay web talked about how the da told them that what he was reporting on would put people's lives at risk now do you think that was just a scare tactic and are there parallels from what was happening then to what is

happening right now today in the news we hear about weiqi leaks exposing all these u.s. military secrets and we're also hearing on the news that these secrets are supposedly putting people's lives at risk i mean talk about the similarities i mean our government is really out of control you know. we're really out of control nobody. i mean like fine line wrong doing in our cases and stuff there was nobody that we could run to and say you know this guy's doing such and such and such that you know even with the crooked cops it was nobody we could go to to. to express what was going on in these cops were beating us you know these cops busted my head open and flashlights they got a dog bite me while i was hank up but there was nobody that we could go to and express what was going on you don't even know how to read when you got out of high school yet you were still able to run a multimillion dollar business i mean how is it that you're able to go to school

and never how to read where the teachers really weren't interested in teaching me they were interested in getting a paycheck which is another one of america's with thinking see america is not thinking about getting smart good thing about getting a check and when you think like that you know you want is the money and they're here with the product you know so what i've learned is that the product is the most important thing you know being in the game is more important than get no money out of the game but tell me about your involvement in the hip hop game mark my pet project is a social network website that i started right now it's called free win a prize dot com. with the biggest social network on the west coast. we just broke inside of one hundred thousand ranking in the united states but then with three hundred thirty thousand in the world so it's growing i think we reach

those numbers fast in facebook and my space did so making some progress. with that it's a platform where artists can come on put their music and be discovered by a different an artist come on you're looking for artists i myself looking for it is the sign of my label back in the day rappers used to talk about real issues in the ghetto what happened is hip hop watered down they don't know what's going on in the streets they don't know about the struggle. because when rap first started out you know it talking about i mean you know the ones that i first started with was rap is it like the guy talked about his son was time the dad he didn't want to go to school said the teacher was a jerk she must think he was a food and all the kids smoke weed for i think would be cheaper to get a job and to be a street sweeper. i don't want to go to just get it mostly for you know the. i think you'd be cheap if i just got

a job in the street so he was talking about. what he was gone do you know what he thought about school what he thought of why this teacher you know what he thought about all of the people around me but that's not happening now these guys just found somebody that was glamorous you know which was a drug and that's almost impossible right now now when you talk to young people what is it that you really want to dig to make sure that they don't follow in your footsteps you know i don't care if you don't learn nothing else in school with learn how to become a critical thinker and learn how to. what is right and what is all for you ricky ross former drug kingpin hip-hop entrepreneur and multimedia executive thank you so much for joining us today thank you for having me i mean it's wonderful you know and you know hopefully we get this message out when it save america.
