I hope this is okay I posted this here. I’m not posting an article so I didn’t want to put it in news.
I’m not one for conspiracy theories usually. JFK? Oswald did it. 9/11? Yes a plane can bring down a skyscraper. But there are some I have an interest in, one of those being COINTELPRO.
COINTELPRO isn’t a conspiracy, really. It’s a historical fact that the FBI infiltrated and spied on numerous groups including the Black Panthers and AIM. A good summary is here.
Ward Churchill wrote two books on COINTELPRO. Yes yes I know, that Ward Churchill. But the books are informative and good and from what I’ve been able to gather are accurate. In his then new foreward to one of them, he mentioned things like the militia movement and the Oklahoma City bombing and kind of hinted that COINTELPRO might still be a thing.
With the recent events surrounding the death of George Floyd, the infiltration of the protests by Antifa and white nationalists, and now the arrest of four guys for planning the overthrow of the US government, I’m beginning to wonder if Churchill wasn’t right. I’m not saying ‘the government is behind it all!’ I’m just saying I’d be surprised if there weren’t some infiltration of such groups going on, and if that’s the case, are they acting as agent provocateurs?
Just wondered if anyone else felt that way. And yes I am wearing a tin foil hat.
