Not a lot of people know the sordid history of the FBI and
how since its inception it has been a notorious purveyor of dirty tricks and under-handed
politics.
Perhaps the filthiest thing it ever did was the attempt to
get Martin Luther King Junior to commit suicide.
From the 1920s on the agency has conducted stealth
operations against political enemies. So, that the Russia collusion crap and
most recently the events that took place on January 6th, 2021, are not a
surprise to any of us who survived these tactics in the 1960s.
The fact that the FBI spied on the Trump campaign leading up
to his presidency was no surprise to those of us who have been victims of the FBI’s
behavior in the past. Many of us recognized this unethical behavior, although
in the past, the FBI’s principal targets were people on the left. This appears
to have shifted to anyone even remotely associated with Donald Trump.
While the FBI dirty tricks began almost from the creation of
the agency in the 1920s, most of us felt the full wrath of its nefarious behavior
during a period from 1956 to 1971 when they operated a thing called
counterintelligence program which involved surveying infiltrating discrediting
and disrupting domestic political organizations.
Back then of course they were more concerned with Black
Panthers and the Puerto Rican young Lords as well as the weather underground
and other left-wing groups.
But in the new woke of the last decade it appears that the
FBI has taken on new targets on the right instead of the left.
Those of us who were victims of this policy back in the
1960s recognize all of the trademarks of FBI antics, deployed these days
against any person or group that professes support for Trump.
Oddly enough, many of the so-called white supremacist groups
the FBI targets today the FBI helped create back in the mid to late 1960s using
these as shock troops against the anti-war or civil rights groups – even Dr.
King. This is why many of us believe the FBI used Black Lives Matter and Antifa
on Jan. 6 to help discredit what might have been a mostly peaceful protest.
The FBI supposedly denied being involved with pushing the protestors
to storm the Capital building, but the FBI’s history works against them, since
investigations of their activities against protest groups of the 1960s showed
the FBI used similar tactics, often pushing peaceful protesters to break the
law.
The overly sympathetic Jan. 6 Committee accepted the FBI’s
denial because the congressional body has one purpose to hunt down and destroy
the movement behind Donald Trump.
But the actions on Jan. 6 are like guilty fingerprints that
harken back to the program they ran against radicals in the 1960s, which was
then and is now designed to neutralize through character assassination, imprisonment,
public humiliation and even false criminal charges.
This last reverberates inside the January 6th committee
which seems to be playing footsie with the FBI under the table.
Critics of the FBI claim that FBI in Cahoots with black
lives matter and antifa deliberately provoked people on January 6th to do more
than they would have during a normal protest and possibly incite them to
violence as a way to discredit their movement, which questioned the legitimacy
of the 2020 presidential election.
Again, this is not new, FBI infiltrators did as much with
the Weather Underground, Black Power groups and others to encourage them to
bomb Banks and other places and to push normally peaceful protesters against
the war into violent actions that would discredit them a direct contradiction
of the teachings of Martin Luther King jr.
In the 1960s, the FBI considered MLK as one of the most
dangerous radicals in America by the FBI much the way Donald Trump is labeled
that today.
As with the Russian collusion stuff, the FBI did not do all
that they did in the 1960s alone. Their program was coincided with broader
Federal effort to prepare military response for urban riots and began to
collaborate with the CIA, National Security Agency, Department of Defense in
other words the foundations of what is now called the Insurrection movement.
The goal of the FBI program then and now was to create a
negative public image for target groups. This includes surveillance of radical
groups, then releasing negative personal information to the public that would
discredit them. The FBI worked hard to break down internal organization by
creating conflicts between members of the group or with competing radical
groups, often manufacturing phony evidence to accomplish this. The FBI spread
rumors and did other dirty tricks to restrict the effectiveness of those groups
to operate. This included urging members of these groups to engage in violence
against police during the planning of or at protests. (Doesn’t this sound very
much like what happened on Jan. 6?)
I was involved with underground newspapers in 1969 to 1986
which were infiltrated by the FBI and with a deliberate effort to destroy these
publications, hampering their ability to get their message out of the general
public – something that strongly resembles the campaign being waged against
conservatives today with the shutting down of social media such as YouTube, Facebook
and twitter.
While the FBI program was supposedly terminated in 1971 when
it became exposed to the public, evidence shows that it continued long after.
One FBI infiltrator attempted to infiltrate my underground newspaper as late as
1986, and later went on to infiltrate WBAI, a radical radio station in New York
City.
The reason why many of us believe the FBI was behind many of
the more serious outbreaks on January 6th is because the technique so closely
resembled the dirty tricks, they pulled back in the 1960s.
While their targets have changed from left wing radicals to Trump
supporters, the FBI’s nasty tactics remain unchanged – which gives them away.
King is the perfect example
Back in 1964, the FBI anonymously sent a suicide letter to
Martin Luther King Jr in an effort to persuade him to commit suicide.’
This came after the 1963 March on Washington for jobs and
freedom when Hoover singled King out as a major Target for the program.
The FBI systemically bugged King’s home and hotels rooms,
just as they did during Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
King was seen as becoming too powerful as the leader of the
Civil Rights Movement, just as Trump was seen as too powerful a force for more
rural states.
King like Trump became too vocal, criticizing the power
elite, including the FBI. Hoover responded by publicly calling King the most
notorious liar in the United States.
On November 21st, 1964, the FBI sent a suicide
package that contained audio recordings obtained through the tapping of King’s
phone and from bugs placed in various hotels rooms over the previous two years.
The FBI put the package together two days after King was notified,
he would be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
The tape which was prepared by an FBI auto technician
documented a series of King sexual indiscretions and the package included a
letter telling King “there's only way one way out for you. You better take it
before your filthy abnormal fraudulent self is exposed to the public.”
King was told that the audio would be released to the media
if he did not acquiesce and commit suicide prior to accepting the Nobel Peace Prize.
When King refused to comply, the FBI commenced a media
campaign offering the surveillance transcript to various news organizations
including Newsweek (a publication owned by the Washington Post) and Newsday – a
campaign so similar to the anti-Trump media campaign over the last five years,
you have to wonder if there is a connection.
In fact, this treatment of King strongly echoes what we saw
with the Russian collusion nonsense and the attempted impeachment since like
King, media seemed hell bent to destroy Trump’s character, relying on friendly
media to bring him down.
Is it any wonder that the FBI put such Credence in the
Steele dossier which ultimately proved to be a campaign stunt by Hillary Clinton?
King was only among one of many FBI targets that included
Malcolm X and a number of black Power movement leaders.
While the target has shifted from black to white these days,
the FBI clearly has a hand in all of this crap, and it explains why the FBI did
not follow up on certain things and why they cooperated so closely with the
anti-trump campaign over the last 5 years.
As the old saying goes you can't teach an old dog new tricks.
The problem is the FBI uses the same tricks now is they did
back then. The only difference is that the FBI now has a new target on the
right instead of the left.
This is why many of us suspect the heavy hand of the FBI
involved in pushing the protest to enter the Capitol building on January 6th
because this is something the FBI did back in the sixties and pushing anti-war
protesters into violence they never intended.
An old dog and an old trick re adapted for the new political
reality.
No doubt the FBI is fully colluding with the January 6th
committee to make sure the character assassination of trump is complete before
he runs for office again in 2024.
