Hitz entered the CIA in 1967 as an operations officer. In 1973 Hitz was moved to the State Department, the Department of Defense, and Department of Energy, and then returned to the CIA in 1978. President George H. W. Bush appointed Hitz the first statutory Inspector General of the CIA in 1990.

He is also a lecturer at the University of Virginia School of Law and Politics Department, specializing in intelligence and anti-terrorism law.

CIA's role in the alleged cocaine trafficking in the US
EXCERPT:
Gary Webb
Former DEA agent Celerino Castillo alleged that during the 1980s Ilopango Airport in El Salvador was used by Contras for drug smuggling flights with the knowledge and complicity of the CIA. These allegations were part of an investigation by the United States Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General.[8] Castillo also testified before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Between 1996 and 1998 the Central Intelligence Agency investigated and then published a report about its alleged involvement in cocaine sales in the US. This was prompted by the journalist Gary Webb's report in the San Jose Mercury News alleging that the CIA was behind the 1980s crack epidemic.[9]
[edit] Investigation
After the Gary Webb report in the Mercury News, the CIA Inspector General Frederick Hitz was assigned to investigate these allegations in 1996. The CIA director John Deutch pledged that Hitz would present his findings in three months. But for almost a year and a half, there was little news. Then on December 18, 1997, stories in the Washington Post and New York Times appeared, stating that Hitz had found "no direct or indirect" links between the CIA and cocaine traffickers, despite the reporters never seeing the report. This story of no links between the CIA and cocaine traffickers was quickly picked up by the networks.[10]Six weeks later, the new CIA director, George Tenet declared that he was releasing the report. Tenet denied the Gary Webb allegations, which were reported nationally.[10]
Once upon a time long long ago I took Zoloft. (I ask my doctor to change meds as I didn't like taking lithium as I knew it was in batteries and I felt uneasy being on Zoloft and lithium together and so was changed off both by the shrink.) ...cal

The Death Toll Continues: SSRI Drug-Related Suicides and Mass Murders
Del Shannon, the famous singer from the sixties who had the Number One Hit song, "Runaway", committed suicide after only three weeks on Prozac. The pharmaceutical manufacturer has settled this case - quietly, of course.
One of the Greatest Comedy Minds of Our Time
Comedian Phil Hartman was shot and killed as he slept, by his wife, Brynn, who then shot herself while she was under the influence of cocaine, alcohol and Zoloft.
On the evening of May 27, 1998, Brynn Hartman visited the Italian restaurant Buca di Beppo in Los Angeles County, California, with producer and writer Christine Zander, who said she was "in a good frame of mind".
After returning to the couple's Encino home, Brynn started a "heated" argument with Hartman, who threatened to leave her if she started using drugs again, and went to bed. While he slept, Brynn entered his bedroom shortly before 3 a.m. with a .38 caliber handgun and fatally shot him twice in the head and once in his side, as their children slept in their home.
She then drove to the home of her friend Ron Douglas and confessed to the murder, but initially he did not believe her. The pair drove back to the house in separate cars after which Brynn called another friend and confessed a second time. Upon seeing Hartman's body, Douglas called 911 at 6:20 a.m.
Police subsequently arrived and escorted Douglas and the Hartmans' two children from the premises, by which time Brynn had locked herself in the bedroom and committed suicide, shooting herself once in the head.
The irony here is beyond sickening |
The Hartman case for their surviving children against the manufacturer of Zoloft (Pfizer) was settled for an undisclosed amount.
