Subject: [BRC-NEWS] The COINTELPRO Papers
> COINTELPRO - short for "counterintelligence program" - was the name for
> the FBI's secret campaigns against the civil rights, Black liberation,
> anti-war, American Indian, socialist, Puerto Rican independence, and other
> popular movements of the 1960's.
>
> The FBI's tactics against such great people as Martin Luther King, Malcolm
> X, Black Panthers Huey Newton, Fred Hempton and Geronimo Pratt, Angela
> Davis, Leonard Peltier, Tom Hayden, Jane Fonda ... the list goes on and on
> ... included fabricating evidence & perjury to lock up activists on phoney
> charges, anonymous death threats, manipulating groups into feuds with each
> other through the use of informants, who also tried to incite these groups
> to acts of violence and terrorism and provided them with weapons and
> explosives ... the FBI's COINTELPRO tactics were simply unbelievable. In
> fact, they were indistinguishable from the CIA's counterinsurgency tactics
> used in Latin America and elsewhere.
>
> The FBI did a good job documenting their work, and thousands of COINTELPRO
> documents have been declassified and made available to the public through
> the Freedom of Information Act. The story they tell would shock anyone
> who believes in democracy, an ideal the US claims to represent.
>
> The COINTELPRO Papers, by Ward Churchill and Jim Vander Wall, is a
> fascinating book, containing over 150 original FBI documents. Covert
> operations against the above - mentioned groups and activists are analyzed
> and fully documented.
>
> The author, Dr. Churchill, has given me permission to post the book on my
> website. I'm almost done with the entire 300 page book, and expect to
> post the last chapter this evening. Take a look.
