HotS said a lot of it Very well. Regardless of how "conspiratorial" it may have been, it is well known common knowledge that the American government under Reagan directly caused a lot of the crime and drug war issues with their elaborate "war on drugs", and that the CIA profited hugely from that venture. So did the US backed dictators in central America. So did the for-profit privatized prison system. Generally if you want to know who is behind a policy or event, follow the money stream and find out where it goes. That's your culprit.

And they ALWAYS kill the messenger. Doing what's right is a hard and lonely road. Ask Ed Snowden.
