CointelPro Hell / Criminal Profits
The FBI COunter INTELigence PROgrams (1956 to1971) used tactics of infiltration, fraud, and assassination to attempt to destroy U.S. civil rights organizations. COINTELPRO’s most vicious attack was aimed at the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense, founded as legal armed street patrols to protect African-Americans from the rampant brutality of the KKK and the police. The BPP also created “serve the people” community programs, including Free Breakfast for Children Programs (serving 50,000 children nationally), and the Oakland Community School, which became a model for schools in California created to foster strong Black identity. The BPP weekly paper reached 100,000 readers and brought an anti-imperialist viewpoint to readers across the country.
The crackdown on the Black Panthers and other civil rights organizations led to a tragic increase in the prison population. Criminal Profits is a system of cages that turns humans into money. Large profits are derived from prison construction, supporting industries and prison labor while human beings are warehoused in cages and even the power elite suffer inside their golden cage. NOTE: The Liberty Bell is a whiskey bottle.
