The Truth
It is one of the successes of the COINTELPRO that it established character assassination as a substitute for political analysis in many quarters of the Movement.

These moves, as defined by the COINTELPRO, are designed to "disrupt, discredit, destroy and otherwise neutralize" all real and potential Black nationalist and activist leadership and leadership groups (Senate Hearings, Church Report). It is still continued until this day.

COINTELPRO: The Untold American Story

A total of 2,370 officially approved COINTELPRO actions were admitted to the Senate Intelligence Committee, and thousands more have since been uncovered. One main method has been revealed:

1. Infiltration: Agents and informers did not merely spy on political activists. Their main purpose was to discredit and disrupt. Their very presence served to undermine trust and scare off potential supporters.

One thing to keep in mind though...counter intelligence programs are directed toward any group the fbi or cia view as a threat to civil order or the union. This also includes neo nazi and skinhead groups and the american socialist party. It also includes the southern christian coalition (mlk) and black panther party.

COINTELPRO as a strategy to avoid civil unrest is not inherantly evil. But clearly, how they are implemented can be.

We have all this knowledge of what happen to us in the past but what are we going to now or in the future?

Awareness is cool but when does the action take place?

You think most of these zombies out here know about this....:usure: I meet all kinds of folk that all they know is about MLK.

You say COINTELPRO and they think you talking about a video game.......

Truth, and the ones who do know think it's something that stopped in the 90's

Exactly....I don't know why some of these coli folks think that a lot of our people are caught up on what's happened and is happening.

I schooled some brothers on the CIA/CONTRA operation, told them about how this government funded their military coup in Nicaragua during the reagan era by infusing cocaine and gun runners, specifically the original Rick Ross throughout the Black communities and these dudes looked like they were gradeschoolers just learning their ABC's.....:mjlol:

And operations similar to this still go on at this very moment...i.e Afghanistan and southeast asia.....We have a lot of sleep people.....

White supremacy operates at its finest when people are uneducated, confused and have an aversion to the very knowledge that could help us to turn our collective situation around.

Which is why they attempt to infuse themselves into discussions whenever it is "enlightening" and somehow the conversation ends up going "south"....:mjpls:
