both played a significant role....... Ronald Reagan coached the situation while George Bush'd tom bradied it with the CIA doing the legwork
going as far as to CREATE A GLOBAL SYNDICATE known as the SHOWER POSSE the muscle for the JLP political party of jamaica
the only GANG on record known to have giving a TRIBUTE RALLY to RONALD REAGAN
Ronald Reagan pictured with Eddie Seaga of the JLP aka Eddie CIA as most jamaicans referred to him as
the CIA according to ex CIA whistleblower Phillip Agee introduced Crack to the island and during the iran contra scandal turned Jamaica into a conduit for Cali cartel of columbia to export thier drugs
Phillip Agee also exposed the CIA's smear campaign and assasination attempt on Bob Marley's life who was in the midst of trying to form a truce between the Shower Posse's OG Claddie Massop and the PNP's Spangler Posse's Bucky Marshall

Much of the reggae dancehall music of the 80s and 90s addressed it..the gang politics inspired by the cold war led by REAGAN AND BUSH
artists like Supercat would document all the crimes and shoutout all the shottas who lost thier lives due to the gang warfare
"Kingston mi there..when MASSOP get SHOT...kingston mi there when COPPER get SHOT
Kingston mi there when a BIRD get SHOT ...SANDOKON dem lick him down flat and Jungle man , Spangler Larry!!"

the CIA's involvement was two fold.....on the outer spectrem to the media they made it look like it was the good ole fight against SOCIALISM which was having it's influence on the island via Castro and nearby Cuba
but the other more sinister role was to SUPRESS JAMAICA'S attempt to LEGALIZE the CASH CROP KNOWN AS MARIJUANA...
which was a million dollar black market industry for jamaica.....Bob marley's friend Peter Tosh was one of the rastas leading the movement....
The OPERATION IRRADICATION as it was labeled by BUSH and the CIA was its attempt to crush the marijuana industry .....this program was a subsidary of Reagan''s DESTABLISATION PROGRAM which was to push out CASTRO..SOCIALISIM AND COMMUNISIM from the islands (see INVASION OF GRENADA) and basically keep Jamaica and the islands as poor debtor nations relying on toursim (pandering to forigners)
yellowman & fathead
the CIA wanted to supress the trade and regulate it and eventually introduced the island to crack which ravaged not only jamaica but also damaged the rasta community as well whom seen it as a more lucrative form of Revenue........
as pursued by many dons such as Shower posse don DUDAS whom ironically was seen as the underground "PRESIDENT" of jamaica whom used his alleged drug proceeds to build housing developments and put on shows by reggae stars.........and didn't get arrested or pursued for prosecution till the last BUSH JR left office and OBAMA entered office
