"check out Gary Webb’s ‘Dark Alliance’ about the CIA as the source of the crack/cocaine epidemic. After publication, Webb was found dead by suicide with two shots in the back of the head."

No, Gary shot himself in the side of the head, by the ear. It does sound suspicious that someone would be able to shoot themselves in the head twice, but it is the case for around 5% of gunshot suicides. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_gunshot_suicide

I don't think Gary was murdered. He may have been provoked into suicide as a target of a gaslighting operation. But perhaps being blacklisted as a journalist- the only profession he had ever known- was gaslighting enough, in itself. The findings of his investigation were overwhelmingly accurate, of course.
