COINTELPRO
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COINTELPRO
COINTELPRO (syllabic abbreviation derived from Counter Intelligence Program; 1956-1971) was a series of covert and illegal[1][2] projects actively conducted by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) aimed at surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting, and disrupting domestic American political organizations.[3][4]
FBI records show COINTELPRO resources targeted groups and individuals the FBI[5] deemed subversive,[6] including feminist organizations,[7][8] the Communist Party USA,[9] anti-Vietnam War organizers, activists of the civil rights and Black power movements
(e.g. Martin Luther King Jr., the Nation of Islam, and the Black Panther Party), environmentalist and animal rights organizations, the American Indian Movement (AIM), Chicano and Mexican-American groups like the Brown Berets and the United Farm Workers, independence movements (including Puerto Rican independence groups such as the Young Lords and the Puerto Rican Socialist Party), a variety of organizations that were part of the broader New Left, and white supremacist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan[10][11] and the far-right group National States' Rights Party.[12]
In 1971 in San Diego, the FBI financed, armed, and controlled an extreme right-wing group of former members of the Minutemen anti-communist paramilitary organization, transforming it into a group called the Secret Army Organization that targeted groups, activists, and leaders involved in the Anti-War Movement, using both intimidation and violent acts.[13][14][15]
The FBI has used covert operations against domestic political groups since its inception; however, covert operations under the official COINTELPRO label took place between 1956 and 1971. Many of the tactics used in COINTELPRO are alleged to have seen continued use including; discrediting targets through psychological warfare; smearing individuals and groups using forged documents and by planting false reports in the media; harassment; wrongful imprisonment; illegal violence; and assassination.[16][17][18][19] According to a Senate report, the FBI's motivation was "protecting national security, preventing violence, and maintaining the existing social and political order".[20]
Beginning in 1969, leaders of the Black Panther Party were targeted by COINTELPRO and "neutralized" by being assassinated, imprisoned, publicly humiliated or falsely charged with crimes. Some of the Black Panthers targeted include Fred Hampton, Mark Clark, Zayd Shakur, Geronimo Pratt, Mumia Abu-Jamal,[21] and Marshall Conway. Common tactics used by COINTELPRO were perjury, witness harassment, witness intimidation, and withholding of exculpatory evidence.[22][23][24]
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover issued directives governing COINTELPRO, ordering FBI agents to "expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize" the activities of these movements and especially their leaders.[25][26] Under Hoover, the agent in charge of COINTELPRO was William C. Sullivan.[27] Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy personally authorized some of the programs,[28] giving written approval for limited wiretapping of Martin Luther King's phones "on a trial basis, for a month or so".[29] Hoover extended the clearance so his men were "unshackled" to look for evidence in any areas of King's life they deemed worthy.[30]

Q Research General #21248: Pentagon - "We do not support Taiwan independence." Edition
Friendly reminder of what a bag of shit lefty twitter hero Rex Chapman is. NBA star turned opiod junkie gambling addict serial shoplifter. Blew every dollar of the 50 million dollars he made while in the NBA and started robbing Apple stores. Psychopathic idiot without a shred of discipline, intelligence, integrity, or common sense. Would probably do anything for a decent paycheck at this point. Anything…
Rex Chapman arrested, accused of stealing $14,000 in merchandise
Arizona Republic
Sept 20 2014
Former Suns guard and NBA executive Rex Chapman was arrested Friday and accused of shoplifting more than $14,000 in Apple merchandise from a retail store in Scottsdale.
Scottsdale police say Chapman is alleged to have stolen items from the Apple Store at the Scottsdale Quarter on seven occasions in recent months.
Apple Store employees told police that Chapman picked up items in the store and made it appear that he was paying for them using a self-checkout system via iPhone app. He would then leave the store without actually paying for the items, they said.
Chapman allegedly took the items to a local pawn shop and sold them for cash, according to Sgt. Mark Clark, a Scottsdale police spokesman. The store's estimated loss is more than $14,000.
Clark said store managers alerted police to the thefts in August and that multiple employees recognized the thief as Chapman "based on his previous celebrity status as an NBA basketball player,"
Scottsdale police property-crimes detectives say they developed probable cause to arrest Chapman, and officers took him into custody at 1:45 p.m. Friday after stopping his car in northeast Scottsdale.
Chapman is facing nine counts of organized retail theft and five counts of trafficking in stolen property, all felonies.

Statement Regarding the Ongoing Trial of Jussie Smollett==
The below is a statement from Dr. Melina Abdullah, Director of BLM Grassroots and Co-Founder of BLM Los Angeles, regarding the ongoing trial of Jussie Smollett:
As abolitionists, we approach situations of injustice with love and align ourselves with our community. Because we got us. So let's be clear: we love everybody in our community. It's not about a trial or a verdict decided in a white supremacist charade, it's about how we treat our community when corrupt systems are working to devalue their lives. In an abolitionist society, this trial would not be taking place, and our communities would not have to fight and suffer to prove our worth. Instead, we find ourselves, once again, being forced to put our lives and our value in the hands of judges and juries operating in a system that is designed to oppress us, while continuing to face a corrupt and violent police department, which has proven time and again to have no respect for our lives.
In our commitment to abolition, we can never believe police, especially the Chicago Police Department (CPD) over Jussie Smollett, a Black man who has been courageously present, visible, and vocal in the struggle for Black freedom. While policing at-large is an irredeemable institution, CPD is notorious for its long and deep history of corruption, racism, and brutality. From the murders of Fred Hampton and Mark Clark, to the Burge tortures, to the murder of Laquan McDonald and subsequent cover-up, to the hundreds of others killed by Chicago police over the years and the thousands who survived abuse, Chicago police consistently demonstrate that they are among the worst of the worst. Police lie and Chicago police lie especially.
Black Lives Matter will continue to work towards the abolition of police and every unjust system. We will continue to love and protect one another, and wrap our arms around those who do the work to usher in Black freedom and, by extension, freedom for everyone else.

Rep. Bobby Rush Of Illinois Is 24th Democrat To Announce He Is Not Running For Reelection In 2022
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/01/rep-bobby-rush-illinois-24th-democrat-announce-not-running-reelection-2022/
Rep. Bobby Rush of Illinois is the latest House Democrat to head for the exits ahead of the 2022 midterms.
He announced this week that he will not seek reelection, making him the 24th Democrat to do so.
It's pretty clear that Democrats know what's coming in November, and a lot of them don't want to be around to witness it.
The Chicago Sun Times reports:
Rep. Bobby Rush to retire after 15 terms
Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill., the former Black Panther, ex-Chicago alderman, member of Congress and a minister, told the Chicago Sun-Times on Monday that he will not seek another term.
Rush, first elected to Congress in 1992, said in an interview he intends to stay active in his ministry and find ways to use his reMarkable life story - a trajectory from a 1960s radical to House member - to inspire younger generations.
Since his first election to Congress when he toppled a Democratic incumbent in the primary, Rush, with enormous name recognition from his Black Panther days, has kept an iron grip on his 1st Congressional District, famously defeating then-state Sen. Barack Obama in the 2000 Democratic primary.
Rush, 75, has won each primary and general election by overwhelming margins in the district, anchored on Chicago's South Side and running through the city's southern suburbs...
Rush's significant activism came as the co-founder of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party - a movement that saw the murder of two of its key leaders, Fred Hampton and Mark Clark, by law enforcement.
Enjoy your retirement, congressman.
U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush of Illinois won't seek reelection after 15 terms in office. The 75-year-old Chicago Democrat holds the distinction of being the only person to ever win an election against Barack Obama. https://t.co/fZLWi4owgn

Do you remember a time when so many Democrats were retiring ahead of a midterm?
