"...Ashcroft has revived
the FBI's totally discredited COINTELPRO program, which flourished
from 1956 to 1971, during the anti-war and civil rights
movements."
This week, Visibility 9-11 visits the topic of COINTELPRO in what
hopes to be a new series on issues facing the 9-11 Truth
Movement. "Left gatekeepers", dis-information specialists,
agent provocateurs, and internet "trolls" all work to distract
and/or discredit the fine work of literally thousands of good and
caring Americans involved in 9-11 Truth. It is important to
recognize the history of things our government has done which has
violated every tenet of a free society.
Featured in this broadcast is audio excerpts from a documentary by
Adi Gevins titled Me and My Shadow: A History of the
FBI's Covert Operations and COINTELPRO produced in
1976 during the time when the FBI's Counter Intelligence Programs
were being exposed.
Counter Intelligence Programs, or COINTELPRO, is one more example
of the federal governments' raping of our rights. These
abuses were going on during the 50's, 60's and 70's, and though
they were prohibited by the Church Committee regulations, they have
not ceased. They are alive and well within political groups
which would seek to bring about truth, justice and accountability
to our government. 9-11 Truth is no exception and activists
need to educate themselves on the "dirty little tricks" our
government uses against our rights to free speech and
association. Only then, can we learn to recognize, and then
address the attempts which would tear down all of our hard
work.
