Edgar Hoover announced to his agents that COINTELPRO, the counter-intelligence program established in </b></font></div>
<div><font size="3"><b> 1956 to combat communists, should focus on preventing the rise of a “Black ‘messiah’” who sought to “unify and electrify the militant black nationalist movement.” The program, Hoover insisted, should target figures as ideologically diverse as Black Power activist Stokely Carmichael </b></font></div>
<div><font size="3"><b>(later Kwame Ture), Martin Luther King Jr., and Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad.</b></font></div>
<div><font size="3"> </font></div>
<div><font size="3">Just a few months later, in October 1968, Hoover penned another memo warning of the urgent menace of a growing Black Power movement, but this time the director focused on the unlikeliest of public enemies: black independent booksellers.</font></div>
<div><font size="3"> </font></div>
<div><font size="3">In a one-page directive, Hoover noted with alarm a recent “increase in the establishment of black extremist bookstores which represent propaganda outlets for revolutionary and hate publications and culture centers for extremism.” The director ordered each Bureau office to “locate and identify black extremist and/or African-type bookstores in its territory and open separate discreet investigations on each to determine if it is extremist in nature.” Each investigation was to “determine the identities of the owners; whether it is a front for any group or foreign interest; whether individuals affiliated with the store engage in extremist activities; the number, type, and source of books and material on sale; the store’s financial condition; its clientele; and whether it is used as a headquarters or meeting place.”</font></div>
<div><font size="3"> </font></div>
<div><font size="3">Perhaps most disturbing, Hoover wanted the Bureau to convince African American citizens (presumably with pay or through extortion) to spy on these stores by posing as sympathetic customers or activists. “Investigations should be instituted on new stores when opened and you should recognize the excellent target these stores represent for penetration by racial sources,” he ordered. Hoover, in short, expected agents to adopt the ruthless tactics of espionage and falsification they deployed against civil-rights and Black Power activists, and now use them against black-owned bookstores.</font></div>
<font size="3">Hoover’s October 1968 Memo targeting black bookstores.</font></div>
<div class="x_m_2676615472506594856aolmail_article-body"><font size="3"><br /></font><div><font size="3">Hoover’s memo offers us a troubling glimpse of a forgotten dimension of COINTELPRO, one that has escaped notice for decades: the FBI’s war on black-bookstores. In addition to Hoover’s memo, I uncovered documents detailing Bureau surveillance of black bookstores in a least half a dozen cities across the U.S. in conducting research for my book, <a href="https://cup.columbia.edu/book/from-head-shops-to-whole-foods/9780231171588" target="_blank"><i>From Head Shops to Whole Foods: The Rise and Fall of Activist Entrepreneurs</i></a><i>.</i> At the height of the Black Power movement, the FBI conducted investigations of such black booksellers as Lewis Michaux and Una Mulzac in New York City, Paul Coates in Baltimore (the father of <i>The Atlantic</i> national correspondent Ta-Nehisi Coates), Dawud Hakim and Bill Crawford in Philadelphia, Alfred and Bernice Ligon in Los Angeles, and the owners of the Sundiata bookstore in Denver. And this list is almost certainly far from complete, because most FBI documents pertaining to currently living booksellers aren’t available to researchers through the federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).</font></div>
<div><font size="3"> </font></div>
<div><font size="3">The FBI’s reports on black booksellers were highly invasive but often mundane. The FBI reports note phone calls from Coates’s number to his former comrades in the Black Panther Party—but also to Viking Press and the American Booksellers Association. Agents in New York reported an undercover source’s questionable claim that Lewis Michaux “was responsible for about 75 percent of the antiwhite material” distributed in Harlem, but another report conceded that he was “no longer very active in Black Nationalist activity as he is getting old.” In Philadelphia, agents traced a car’s license plate at a <a href="http://www.jacksonfreepress.com/news/2014/mar/05/jackson-tragedy-rna-revisited/" target="_blank">Republic of New Africa</a> convention to Dawud Hakim, but not long afterwards they quoted sources stating that the RNA was “now defunct in the Philadelphia area” and that Hakim “has not shown interest in any Black Nationalist Activity.”</font></div>
<div><font size="3"> </font></div>
<div><font size="3">While perhaps not surprising, it is deeply disturbing that Hoover and the FBI would carry out sustained investigations of black-owned independent bookstores across the country as part of COINTELPRO’s larger attacks on the Black Power movement. But Hoover’s order that agents track these stores’ customers represented not just an attack on black activists, but also an absolute contempt for America’s stated values of freedom of speech and expression. Any citizen who stepped into a black-owned bookstore, it seemed, risked being investigated by federal law enforcement.</font></div>
<div><font size="3"> </font></div>
<div><font size="3">To be sure, many black bookstores did have direct connections to Black Power activists. Quite a few black booksellers themselves participated in Black Power organizations, even if those organizations didn’t operate their stores. But more often the connections between the bookstores and the movement weren’t institutional, but intellectual and informal. Customers sought out copies of such titles as <i>The Autobiography of Malcolm X</i> or Eldridge Cleaver’s <i>Soul on Ice</i>, which black booksellers gladly sold them. The rapid proliferation of black-owned bookstores in the late 1960s and early 1970s signaled African Americans’ growing appetite for black political and historical literature and reading materials on Africa.</font></div>
<div><font size="3"> </font></div>
<div><font size="3">Black-owned bookstores also sold works by authors who were not formally associated with Black Power organizations, including critically acclaimed writers such as James Baldwin and Lorraine Hansberry, as well as street-literature favorites like Iceberg Slim, author of the novel <i>Pimp</i>. Black bookstores weren’t fronts assigned by activist organizations to distribute political propaganda. They were independent businesses serving black people’s growing appetite for books by and about black people.</font></div>
<div><font size="3"> </font></div>
<div><font size="3">The Drum and Spear Bookstore in Washington, D.C., seems to have drawn more scrutiny from the Bureau’s agents than any other black bookstore. Established by veterans of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, the famed direct-action civil rights organization founded in 1960, the store opened in late spring 1968 just weeks after an uprising devastated the District following the assassination of Martin Luther King. The store was an especially convenient and frequent target for federal law enforcement, both because of its ties to prominent figures in the Black Power movement, and its location in the Columbia Heights neighborhood, less than three miles away from the FBI’s headquarters.</font></div>
<div><font size="3"> </font></div>
<div><font size="3">The Bureau launched its surveillance of Drum and Spear after sources sighted Stokely Carmichael (later Kwame Ture) visiting the store in its first weeks of business. Hoover’s office soon ordered that the investigation of the store “should be intensified” beyond occasional visits by agents and expanded to cultivating customers, employees, and people who attended meetings at Drum and Spear as undercover sources. From 1968 until the store’s closing in 1974, the Bureau compiled nearly 500 pages of investigative files on Drum and Spear. </font></div>
<div><font size="3"> </font></div>
<div><font size="3">Plainclothes agents who visited the store aroused employees’ suspicions when they sat in parked cars in front of the business for hours. In another incident, two men wearing suits who appeared to be federal agents visited Drum and Spear and asked to purchase the store’s entire inventory of Mao’s Little Red Book. Agents’ reports meticulously detailed the store’s contents, relating that its roughly 4,000 copies of 500 titles were divided into five sections—African Works, Works of the American Negro, Fiction, Third World, and Children’s Works—while posters and photos of H. Rap Brown, Carmichael, Huey Newton, and Che Guevara decorated its walls.</font></div>
<font size="3">The 1971 Drum and Spear Catalog.</font></div>
<div class="x_m_2676615472506594856aolmail_article-body"><font size="3"><br /></font><div><font size="3">Hoover was right about one thing: black bookstores were on the rise by the end of the 1960s. As late as 1966, black-owned bookstores operated in fewer than a dozen American cities, and most of them struggled to stay in business. Within just a few years, however, the number of stores had skyrocketed. Dozens of new stores opened throughout the country in the final years of the ‘60s, roughly tripling their numbers since the start of the decade. As <i>The New York Times</i> reported in 1969, “A surge of book-buying is sweeping through Black communities across the country.” What had been about a dozen black bookstores operating in the mid-1960s grew to over 50 by the early 1970s, and around 75 by the middle of the decade.</font></div>
<div><font size="3"> </font></div>
<div><font size="3">In Hoover’s eyes, black-owned bookstores represented a coordinated network of hate-spewing extremists. His clumsy invocation of the phrase “African-type bookstores” betrayed his lack of understanding of pan-Africanism, a philosophy that people of African descent around the world should unite in pursuit of shared political and social goals. To Hoover, radical anti-government organizations actively fomented black Americans’ growing fascination with Africa in the hopes of using it as a weapon against whites. But Hoover grossly mischaracterized the organic groundswell of popular interest in African history, culture, and politics spreading throughout African American communities.</font></div>
<div><font size="3"> </font></div>
<div><font size="3">As with much of COINTELPRO, Hoover took a model of counter-intelligence developed to combat the rigidly organized and centralized Communist Party of the United States of America and applied it to a much looser and decentralized array of Black Power groups emerging across the country. The CPUSA for instance, had operated a series of official bookstores carrying party literature in cities across the U.S., which the FBI had monitored since at least the 1930s.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">The FBI appears to have wound down its surveillance of black bookstores by the middle of the 1970s, in the wake of Hoover’s death and the formal conclusion of COINTELPRO. </font></div>
<div><font size="3"> </font></div>
<div><font size="3">As the Black Power movement declined in the late 1970s, so did black bookstores, and their numbers significantly dwindled by the start of the ‘80s (before experiencing a resurgence in the early 1990s). Looking back, it’s worth asking if the Bureau’s investigations may have undermined the viability of these black-owned businesses, creating undue stress for owners already struggling to make ends meet and scaring away customers who wanted to avoid any encounters with law-enforcement officials.</font></div>
<div><font size="3"> </font></div>
<div><font size="3">Indeed, the FBI’s war against black bookstores represents a sad chapter in the history of law enforcement in the U.S., a time when federal agents dispensed with all notions of freedom of speech as they targeted black entrepreneurs and their customers for buying and selling literature they deemed politically subversive.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">“It’s a waste of taxpayers’ money,” Philadelphia bookseller Dawud Hakim lamented in 1971, having learned that that he was himself a target of the Bureau’s misguided surveillance campaign. “We are trying to educate our people about their history and culture. The FBI should be spending their time instead on organized crime and dope peddlers.”</font></div>

<p>Sending your computer to Best Buy for repairs shouldn’t require you to surrender your Fourth Amendment rights. But that’s apparently what’s been happening when customers send their computers to a Geek Squad repair facility in Kentucky.</p>
<p>We think the FBI’s use of Best Buy Geek Squad employees to search people’s computers without a warrant threatens to circumvent people’s constitutional rights. That’s why we filed a Freedom of Information Act <a href="https://www.eff.org/press/releases/eff-sues-justice-department-shed-light-fbis-use-best-buy-informants">(FOIA) lawsuit today</a> against the FBI seeking records about the extent to which it directs and trains Best Buy employees to conduct warrantless searches of people’s devices. Read our complaint <a href="https://www.eff.org/files/2017/05/31/2017-05-31_eff_v._doj_complaint_0.pdf">here [PDF]</a>.</p>
<p>EFF has long been concerned about law enforcement using private actors, such as Best Buy employees, to conduct warrantless searches that the Fourth Amendment plainly bars police from doing themselves. The key question is at what point does a private person’s search turn into a government search that implicates the Fourth Amendment. As described below, the law on the question is far from clear and needs to catch up with our digital world.</p>
<h3>California Case Highlights FBI’s Problematic Use of Geek Squad Informants</h3>
<p>A federal prosecution of a doctor in California revealed that the FBI has been working for several years to cultivate informants in Best Buy’s national repair facility in Brooks, Kentucky, including reportedly paying <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/if-a-best-buy-technician-is-a-paid-fbi-informant-are-his-computer-searches-legal/2017/01/09/f56028b4-d442-11e6-9cb0-54ab630851e8_story.html">eight Geek Squad employees as informants</a>. <strong><a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/02/FBI-tries-to-bypass-Fourth-Amendment-Safeguards-by-using-Geek-Squad" target="_blank">CONTINUES</a>....</strong>.</p>

What we do in our Intermediate I Ching Online Workshop is to ask pertinent questions about this event to see what the Oracle will tell us.</span></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:center;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">We take many things into consideration when asking our questions. We understand that personal bias and skew the responses from the I Ching so we work hard to develop the most objective questin we can so as to get the answers that we can best understand from the I Ching.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">This method has proven to be amazing over and over again. If you have not seen the I Ching at work, then check out the video series, "What Happened to Prince Rogers Nelson? Ask A Psychic?" to see for yourself.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"><a href="https://youtu.be/QIBEQxnrDlI?list=PLRwF36V2kd5x5jiqaE4DZHoIYNGFDPU58">https://youtu.be/QIBEQxnrDlI?list=PLRwF36V2kd5x5jiqaE4DZHoIYNGFDPU58</a></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;">This method of inquiry skips the middle man and goes straight to the source.

There may well be more. Please let us know your thoughts in the comments below. Meanwhile, use the knowledge you have of the false flag formula to become more aware, wise and hip to the deception, so that the next time it unfolds (as it surely will), you will be among those that spot the fakery, rather than among those who are too scared, shell-shocked and gullible to do anything other than buy the official narrative.</div></div></div>

Mark Ames, author of <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/64821.Going_Postal" target="_blank">“Going Postal,”</a> found that the phenomenon occurred because of workplace abuse that the worker could no longer endure. </p><p>Violence at US schools dates back to the <a href="http://www.cvillepedia.org/mediawiki/index.php/John_A.G._Davis" target="_blank">1800s</a> and is not a rare occurrence. A <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_shootings_in_the_United_States" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a> compilation shows hundreds of instances of killings at school between students or students and administrators. Wikipedia lists over 100 school shootings just since 2010, alone! <a href="http://www.davecullen.com/columbine.htm" target="_blank">Columbine</a> just happens to be the one that we all remember. Unfortunately, workplace or school violence is nothing new in the United States. A disgruntled stock <a href="http://edition.cnn.com/US/9907/29/atlanta.shooting.01/index.html?iref=allsearch" target="_blank">day trader</a> in my hometown of Atlanta went berserk at two brokerage houses, killing 12 and injuring a dozen people; after leaving a note of explanation, he committed suicide. Eric Rudolph, called a terrorist by then-US Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez for his anti-abortion bombing of the Atlanta Olympics, killing one and injuring 111, sits in prison today after an extensive manhunt in which he was captured alive.</p><p>The same can be said for <a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2015/06/20/reports-dylann-roof-s-manifesto-found.html" target="_blank">Dylann Roof</a>, who killed nine Black worshipers in a South Carolina church in a bid to begin a race war. Roof, who left a paper trail of screeds, faced an assortment of <a href="http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2015/07/when-terrorist-not-terrorist-when-he-s-white-man-gun" target="_blank">charges</a> from state and federal authorities, but not <a href="http://www.blackagendareport.com/whos-a-terrorist" target="_blank">terrorism</a>.

This is no surprise because any crime committed in the US by Muslims, or by Muslims who had no intention of committing a crime until being paid (or otherwise enticed) to do by the FBI, itself, will be labeled terrorism. That is the sad state of affairs in the US today. The Heritage Foundation claims that the FBI has used laws that decimate the Constitution to thwart 39 terror <a href="http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2011/05/39-terror-plots-foiled-since-911-examining-counterterrorisms-success-stories" target="_blank">plots</a> since September 11, 2001. But, after taking a closer look in their report entitled, <em>"Inventing Terrorists,”</em> <a href="http://www.projectsalam.org/Inventing-Terrorists-study.pdf" target="_blank">Project Salam</a> found that most of the preemptive prosecutions of <em>“plots”</em> were actually <a href="https://www.rt.com/usa/166060-usa-fbi-terrorism-prosecutions/" target="_blank">instigated</a>, or even paid for, by the FBI. This has led many in the US to become deeply suspicious of FBI tactics in the domestic war against <em>“homegrown”</em> terrorists - as former Congresswoman Jane Harman’s breathtaking, far-reaching, Constitution-crushing bill came under discussion.</p><p>Even before 9/11, criminal behavior inside the FBI forensics lab had become public. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Tainting-Evidence-Behind-Scandals-Crime/dp/0684846462" target="_blank">Tainting Evidence</a>, by John Kelly and Philip Wearne describes in excruciating detail how the FBI intentionally tainted the evidence in order to <em>“get its man.”</em> It chronicles FBI malpractice, use of flawed science, doctored lab reports, and false testimony. Since 1998 when the book was published, the FBI has endured subsequent scandals, finally admitting flaws in its <a href="http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2015/04/fbi_s_flawed_forensics_expert_testimony_hair_analysis_bite_marks_fingerprints.html" target="_blank">hair analysis</a> procedures, going back <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/crime/fbi-overstated-forensic-hair-matches-in-nearly-all-criminal-trials-for-decades/2015/04/18/39c8d8c6-e515-11e4-b510-962fcfabc310_story.html" target="_blank">decades</a>. Some of the FBI’s victims were put to death or died in prison—on flawed evidence. Dr. Fred Whitehurst, FBI whistleblower in the 1990s, claims that the FBI was still doing the same thing in 2015.</p><p>It is this FBI that wants to investigate the contents of the iPhone of Syed Rizwan Farook, alleged perpetrator of the San Bernardino killings. The request from the FBI to Apple is precedent setting for Apple to unlock encryption keys in the phone. Both Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, were killed by police in their SUV after leaving the crime scene.</p><h4>Justice and The Constitution</h4><p>There are many unanswered questions coming from the victims’ families, the <a href="http://www.globalresearch.ca/farook-family-attorneys-question-veracity-of-san-bernardino-shooting-event/5493795" target="_blank">accused’s </a>families, <a href="http://edition.cnn.com/videos/us/2015/12/04/shooters-family-attorney-intv-cuomo-newday.cnn" target="_blank">the lawyers</a>, and the political left and the <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/12/04/8-unanswered-questions-san-bernardino-attack/" target="_blank">political right</a>. Justice requires that all questions be answered transparently. But, the accused are not here for that. Justice also requires that the Constitution be followed. Or else, this entire exercise becomes something else. Investigative blogger <a href="http://theinternationalforecaster.com/" target="_blank">James Corbett</a> reminds his readers that the FBI can use advanced technology to frame the innocent, something it has already done in the past. <a href="http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/the_human_rights_risks_of_encryption_back_doors_20160226" target="_blank">Carol Shenkman</a> points out that <em>“encryption saves lives.”</em> She raises three categories of persons where this is true: journalists, victims of domestic violence, and human rights defenders and their lawyers. <a href="http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2016/02/27/appl-f27.html" target="_blank">The World Socialist Web Site</a> reminds its readers that this is not just the case of one sole iPhone, but is a case that concerns many governments and millions of smartphones around the world. <a href="http://www.opednews.com/articles/FBI-vs-Apple-Fake-Fight-by-Rebecca-Mercuri-Apple-Ceo-Tim-Cook_Apple-Fbi-Iphone_Corporation-Apple_Espionage-Spygate-FBI-NSC-160226-807.html" target="_blank">Rebecca Mercuri</a>, PhD, an expert witness in forensic computing matters, writes at OpEd News that none of this makes sense to her because the FBI already has the capability to get what it needs from that particular phone and asks her readers to consider an unstated motive from the government. Maybe information from the phone is not really the government’s issue. If Mercuri is right, could this merely be the FBI once again blowing a hole through what’s left of the Constitution, as it rushes to get as much as it can, set as many precedents as possible while it can, before the people wise up and start a fight to restore our Constitution? Surely, the professionals at the FBI can build a case against a dead man and woman without killing the Constitution, too.</p></div><p>The statements, views and opinions expressed in this column are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of RT.</p></div>-- <br /><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><b> <span>-----------------------------</span><span>-----------------------------+</span><br /><span>| __o CONTINENTAL CRITICAL MASS </span><br /><span>| _`\;,_ come ride with me</span><br /><span>| (*)/ (*) </span><br /><span>| </span><a href="http://bikepeace.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Bike4Peace</a><span> Across the USA </span><br /><span>------------------------------</span><span>-----------------------------+</span></b><br /><br /><a href="http://claritypress.com/McKinneyII.html" target="_blank">http://claritypress.com/McKinneyII.html</a><br /><a href="http://www.claritypress.com/McKinney.html" target="_blank">http://www.claritypress.com/McKinney.html</a><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/CynthiaMcKinneyOfficial" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/CynthiaMcKinneyOfficial</a><br /><a href="http://www.allthingscynthiamckinney.com/CynthiaSpeaks" target="_blank">http://www.allthingscynthiamckinney.com/CynthiaSpeaks</a><br /><br />Silence is the deadliest weapon of mass destruction.

<div><div>Never before in the history of America have citizens become so alarmed over the direction our nation is going. many have awakened to a new reality that an elite clique of super rich has taken control of what once was a constitutional republic. This criminal elite has rigged our election systems,jettisoned many of the protections afforded the citizenry in our Bill of Rights, and become the virtual dictators of our once, great country.</div><div><br /></div><div>Banding together in an illegal financial cartel and political combination, the elite have conspired to deconstruct the United States, terminate our national independence and sovereignty, and integrate our land into their infamously planned New world Order. Through financial machinations, these international outlaws are systematically devaluing the dollar currency; they have become the Money Masters of wall Street; and our Congress and legislatures do their bidding.</div><div>Through propaganda and financial fraud, the elite have bankrupted our treasury, taken trillions of dollars for themselves, increased our taxes, and run public debt tounbearable levels. Still, they want more. They ultimately seek the death of America, intending to bury the wasted corpse once and for all.</div><div><br /></div><div>Terrible things the Elite have done to us.</div><div>YES, we can make America a great nation once again, a prosperous and shining city on a hill and beacon of light for a desperate world. OVERTHROW the responsible.</div><div>And the only way to do it is to all speak out. Voices get louder as they gather together making differences.</div><div>Remember the movie "ANTS". If not, you must watch it. Let's be loud!</div></div>
