COINTELPRO 2.0 : STILL PREVENTING THE RISE OF A BLACK MESSIAH

                  PEACE 2 ALL AFRIKAN PEOPLE & DEATH 2 ALL ENEMIES OF AFRIKA !!!

     One of the least talked about, yet most important, governmental programs in the entire history of the United States of America was the program developed by J. Edgar Hoover knows as "Cointelpro". "Cointelpro" or The Counter-Intelligence Program was a set of strategies & tactics developed & used to destroy the Black Power, Civil Rights & Anti-War movements of the 1950's & 1960's. The FBI,under the leadership of J. Edgar Hoover, used all types of tricks, lies & even outright murder to disrupt various Black organizations. The list of organizations targeted included : the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), the Nation of Islam, & the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense. Keep in mind that this is just a partial list of the groups that the FBI worked to destroy.  Even though these organizations had different philosophies, ideologies, and objectives, Hoover viewed all of them as a threat to "National Security". As I pointed out in a previous post, Hoover had worked to destroy Black organizations since the 1920's, when he set out to "neutralize" Marcus Garvey's Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA). Hoover's FBI used all of it's resources to, as he put it, prevent the rise of a  "Black Messiah".

    While Hoover & the FBI initiated these programs, they also enlisted the help of local law enforcement. The NYPD had informants in Malcolm X's OAAU & in the NOI's Temple #7 in Harlem. Eugene Roberts, a NYPD informant, was Malcolm X's Chief of Security. Roberts convinced Min. Malcolm to suspend the weapons check procedure that Malcolm had brought with him from the NOI. It was this decision, to suspend normal security protocols, that allowed weapons to be brought into OAAU meeting on that fateful day. If not for Roberts "advice" to Min. Malcolm on Feb. 21, 1965, Malcolm X would not have been assassinated in the Audobon Ballroom. Roberts would go on to infiltrate the New York chapter of the Black Panther Party. He would eventually set them up on domestic terrorism charges, leading to the famous "Panther 21" trial in 1969. Roberts should go down in Afrikan history as one of the most despicable Race traitors in the history of Black America. In an interesting  aside, one of the defendants in the "Panther 21" case was Afeni Shakur, mother of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur.
     The NYPD was not the only local police department that was fully integrated into Hoover's conspiracy. The Chicago police department murdered Fred Hampton, the 21 year old Chairman of the Chicago Chapter of the Black Panther Party. An informant had drawn plans of Hampton's apartment for the police. He also drugged Hampton's food so that he would not react when the shooting started. The police fired over 100 rounds into the house where Hampton was staying that night. After the shooting stopped, 2 police officers went into Hampton's bedroom & shot him 2 times at point blank range to make sure that he was dead. These are the types of crimes that were committed by the United States government & local police forces in the not too distant past.
     By now I know someone reading this is thinking, well, that was a long time ago. What does that have to do with anything that is going on today ? That is a good question. The history that I have given you shows a pattern that we can learn from. Let's see if we can find similar patterns of disruption going on against people and organizations that are around today. The Occupy Wall Street Movement sprang out of nowhere in September of 2011 and quickly spread throughout the country. The largely peaceful group wasn't so much an organization as it was an amalgamation of people who were fed up with the status quo. The movement quickly spread nationally & began to have influence in the political discourse proceeding the 2012 elections. What we would find out later is that the FBI & the DHS (Dept. of Homeland Security) were monitoring the movement almost from it's inception. After allowing months of protests, rallies & teach-ins, the government made it's move. All across the country local police displaced "Occupy" encampments, sometimes using brutal force. The "Occupy" Movement was swiftly & summarily dealt with in a manner that suggested a nationally coordinated attack by local law enforcement & Federal authorities.
     The Federal & local police agencies reaction to Occupy was just the tip of the iceberg. The CIA actually had officers working with the NYPD to monitor Islamic Communities in New York City. That program quickly spread to surveillance of Muslims all along the East Coast. This surveillance activity by the CIA is probably illegal since according to the 1947 "National Security Act" that created the agency, it is prohibited from operating on American soil. This law apparently did not stop the creation of a joint CIA/NYPD task force whose sole purpose was to spy on Muslims. Interestingly, the part of the Muslim community that the task force was most fearful of was the native born Black Muslim Ummah. This despite the fact that these are the Muslims who have been least likely to engage in any type of terrorist activity here or abroad.
      Recently, it has been revealed that the NSA is, in essence, spying on everyone in America. This is the type of surveillance capability J. Edgar Hoover could only dream of. The government is monitoring millions of phones, tapping into ISP providers & working with companies like Verizon, Google & Microsoft to monitor internet activity. The PRISM program of the NSA was recently revealed by whistleblower Edward Snowden. The mainstream press has chosen to focus on Snowden & largely ignored the magnitude of the PRISM program. The attacks on Snowden's character in the press are reminiscent of the type of propaganda used against Black leaders back in the 1960's. The CIA has been using the press for propaganda purposes since the 1950's. For more information on these activities research "Operation Mockingbird". Let us not forget that drones are flying over domestic airspace as you read this. Many local police departments have weapons & equipment that looks like it belongs on a battlefield in Iraq or Afghanistan. The fact is, America has quietly evolved into a police state.
    With the current climate of fear among the populace of America, it is quite easy to use the types of tricks & lies developed by J. Edgar Hoover to attack any group or organization which is deemed a danger to "National Security." We have seen a example of this with the governments placement of Assata Shakur on the FBI's most wanted list. Ms. Shakur has been labelled a "domestic terrorist" by the government. They have placed a 2 million dollar bounty on her head. That was quickly followed by the mysterious death of the grandson of Min. Malcolm X, Malcolm Shabazz. Shabazz was murdered in Mexico under very suspicious circumstances. Before his death, he was detained by the authorities & not allowed to leave on a planned trip to Iran. Mr. Shabazz was becoming known for his budding activism & for speaking out against injustices against Afrikan people in America. He also was becoming a spokesman for Muslims in America.
     If these events weren't enough to convince you that "Cointelpro" is still in effect, there's one more case to be discussed. That is the case of the "NBPP 3". In late June, the New Black Panther Party (NBPP) held a press conference announcing the 15th anniversary of the Million Youth March, to be held in New York City on September 7th of this year. Hours later, the National Field Marshall King Samir Shabazz & 2 other Panther leaders were arrested on weapons charges. One of the other men, Mikhail Muhammad, leads the Panther chapter responsible for announcing the bounty on George Zimmerman. That bounty would lead to Zimmerman's arrest for the murder of Trayvon Martin. The Panthers reportedly had plans to monitor the trial of Zimmerman in Florida. King Samir has long been known as the most controversial of all the New Panther leaders.
      The arrest of these 3 leaders puts a serious dent in the upcoming plans of the NBPP. It will divert time & resources that would have gone to other activities. This is strangely reminiscent of the police and FBI tactics used against the original Panther Party. In the 60's the police would continuously harass & arrest Panther leaders. This would cause the Panthers to have to focus on getting various people out on bail, or procuring lawyers for their cases instead of building the organization. The harassment also led to fights & splits within the Panther leadership. It appears that the FBI, NYPD & others have chosen plays right out of Hoover's old playbook. This is not to say that the "NBPP 3" are innocent. It is to say that the timing of the arrests & the persons involved in the case should lead Black People to be very suspicious. After all, we have definitely seen this type of behavior from the government before. Every Afrikan in America should automatically be suspicious of any of claims of criminality made by the government against pro-Black leaders & organizations. Remember, their goal was and still is "to prevent the Rise of a Black Messiah."

WHO LEADS BLACK LEADERS ? Pt.1

                 PEACE 2 ALL AFRIKAN PEOPLES & DEATH 2 ALL ENEMIES OF AFRIKA !!!


    One of the things that often comes up in conversations among Black people when there are no Euros around is the lack of credible Black leadership. Even people who aren't necessarily conscious or politically active seem to notice this void of leadership. I've heard Brothers & Sisters in barbershops, corner stores, hospitals & pool halls talk about this. The conversation usually starts when an obvious racial incident happens like the Trayvon Martin murder. In that case the people themselves organized and forced the hands of the system to attempt to remedy the situation. The case rattled around the twitterverse & then went to Black radio. Much later the mainstream media began to cover the case once they witnessed the outrage of the Black community. This mass reaction by the general Black community was definitely an anomaly. One of those events that occurs every 3 years or so that gets Black people outraged, then they slowly go back to their usual slumbering selves.
    The question is why are the people so easy to quell ? What keeps them seemingly content ? I say seemingly content because when you get people alone you hear a lot of discontent in the Black community. So, what happens to these feelings of dissatisfaction among our people? Well, they are usually redirected towards each other. This happens in the form of Black on Black crime, domestic violence, sexually promiscuity & other negative avenues. These things are usually blamed on self-hate, which is true but doesn't fully explain the behaviour. What's often overlooked is the effect of Black Leadership mis-directing these energies into useless activities. These activities include marching, praying, protesting  & voting. Black Leadership also gives incorrect analysis of the events which confuses the masses of our people. These so-called leaders are always on the scene, in front of the cameras, to give the illusion of actually working for our people. The question is, if these "leaders" are working for our people, then why are our communities in such a pitiful condition ? What work are they actually doing, and for whom? These are questions that need to be asked and answered if any progress is going to be made by Afrikans in America in the 21st century.
     Whenever I try to uncover the truth of any subject, I always explore it's history. Tracing the complete history of Black leadership in America is beyond the scope of this blog so I'll focus on the "Civil Rights" era. This is a period of time & a movement that most people are familiar with, however, most people only know a version of that history given to us by the ruling elite. The real facts on who controlled those iconic leaders is never discussed. The best analysis that I've heard about "Civil rights" leaders came from Malcolm X. In his "Message to the Grassroots" speech in 1963, he reveals how Europeans co-opted the famous "March on Washington." They placed the "Big 6" Civil Rights leaders of that day in charge and completely changed the focus of the march. It has been alleged that King's "I Have a Dream" speech was actually written by Stanley Levinson. Who, you say ? Levinson was a New York based Jewish businessman who befriended King in 1956. He was a fundraiser, advisor  & speechwriter for King. Most people have never heard of him.
    The thing about Stanley Levinson is that he is not the anomaly that he appears to be. If we look further into history, we will find silent Jewish backers of several integrationist leaders. The NAACP was co-founded by a Jew named Henry Moskowitz & a Jewish son of a slave owner named William Walling. A few years into the organizations existance, more Jews were added to the Board of Directors. People like Joel Spingarn, Jacob Schiff. & Julius Rosenwald took prominent positions in the organization. They controlled the direction & focus of the organization for decades. In fact, the NAACP went 65 years before it was headed by a Black Man. For those 65 years every leader of the group was a Jew. Now we must ask the question, are there any Jewish organizations that have had Black people in leadership positions for decades ?  I think we all know the answer to that question. Julius Rosenwald would found a group that helped to fund the infamous "Tuskegee Experiment" that purposely infected Black Men with syphilis. With "friends" like these, who needs enemies.
     As we can see, the history of "Civil Rights" leadership lends to the asking  of some important questions. If these "leaders" were in fact led by & funded by other people then where are they leading us ? Who really crafted the strategies & objectives of the "Civil Rights" movement ? Who has really benefitted from the strategies that these groups employed ? These are questions that our community needs to answer if we have any hope of achieving real freedom in the 21st century and beyond.
