COINTELPRO, or Counter Intelligence Program, was an FBI program to disrupt and destroy political organizations in the United States that the government saw as subversive, dangerous, or threatening to the establishment. When it was uncovered in the 1970s, it was a massive scandal and politicians tripped over themselves to disavow and distance themselves from the program, blaming the FBI for breaking the law. The questions we will explore today are what was COINTELPRO, who did it target, and how much did the politicians really know about what was going on? This is important for anyone involved in modern protest or direct action organizations from BLM to ANTIFA to the sunrise movement, because you must understand the government playbook for disrupting and destroying political movements that threaten their power. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/current-history/support

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In. We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. We'll use these sessions to hone our use of words as tools to reveal truth, neutralize White people. We'll examine news reports from the past seven days and - hopefully - promote a constructive dialog. #ANTIBLACKNESS By a 7-to-2 vote, the Supreme Court of the United States voted that a White baker in Colorado legally practiced his religion by rejecting gay patrons. The LGBT wing of the White Supremacist raged at the response and immediately contrasted the decision to the systematic and centuries long terrorism against black people. White California voters successfully recalled Judge Aaron Pesky, the White official who delivered a scant sentence to a White Stanford student convicted of sexually assaulting an unconscious White Woman. For centuries, White judges in black robes delivered racist decisions that eviscerated the lives of black people. Few if any were recalled. Whites also invested a sizable amount of time recounting the life and 1968 assassination of Robert F. Kennedy; he's regularly referenced as a "good White man" who was definitely not Racist. However, history records his willful contribution to the FBI's COINTELPRO operation which conducted illegal surveillance and assassinations to neutralize the the so called Civil Rights movement. #AntiBlackness INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943#
This week, I speak on two issues on mind: First,(1) the spree killing during a Las Vega Country Music festival. I cover how white supremacy protects these murderers after death, and ultimately how white supremacy empowers these murderers to kill. Second (2) I speak on the FBI's new COINTELPRO approach to black activists and their invention of the "black identity extremist" label. The struggle is going to get fierce.
