CHECKMATE!!!!!

COINTELPRO (an acronym for Counter Intelligence Program) was the official name of the project conducted by the FBI under J. Edgar Hoover.

Its aim was to spy on, infiltrate, discredit, disrupt and destroy domestic organizations and individuals it considered "subversive".

COINTELPRO

Direction under FBI:

"…intensified attention under this program should be afforded to the activities of such groups as:

The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee,

The Southern Christian Leadership Conference

Revolutionary Action Movement

The Deacons for Defense and Justice

Congress of Racial Equality,
and

The Nation of Islam.”

On March 8, 1971, a group of anonymous activists broke into a small FBI office in Media, Pa., and stole more than 1,000 FBI documents. The documents revealed years of wiretapping, infiltration and media manipulation by the FBI.

The group that broke into the office were called “The Citizens' Commission to Investigate the FBI.”

During the night this group forced their way into the building with a crowbar, while much of the country was watching the Muhammad Ali-Joe Frazier fight.

When agents arrived for work the next morning, they found the file cabinets virtually emptied.

Within a few weeks, the documents began to show up -- mailed anonymously in manila envelopes with no return address -- to the newsrooms of major Newspapers across the nation.

The tactics used by COINTELPRO included: discrediting targets through psychological warfare,
planting false reports in the media,
smearing ones reputation through forged letters, harassment,
wrongful imprisonment, extralegal violence,
and assassination.

Covert operations under COINTELPRO’s covert operations took place between 1956 and 1971, however we know that as was with the MK Ultra experiments, they didn’t just stop when they were supposed to…they continued on.

Tomorrow we will discuss Operation Chaos and its effect on the 1960s anti-war/hippie movement.

I want to take a moment to thank the mods on this channel...Catherine M and Mad Madame K...THANK YOU... THANK YOU...THANK YOU!!
Both of you have been so selfless with your time. You are keeping our chat clean of the ads and trolls!

If you haven’t noticed, there was an uptick of “triggered” trolls yesterday and today. They were the ones who used the brown triangle emoji. I’ve deleted that option so as not to muck up this channel with their juvenile behavior. They are threatened by the massive awakening, so they find the channels that share the truth to spread their filth. This channel will not tolerate it.


High Vibes up Friends!!❤️❤️❤️

Today we are going to do a Deep Dive into Operation Chaos.
You will understand how social engineering works/worked in the 1960s. Keep last week’s presentations in mind (Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters).

I will silence the notifications while I copy/paste.

C..I..A=🤡

Protests against US involvement in Vietnam were proving to be a giant pain in the backside for the government’s plans in the mid 1960s.

While Project Mockingbird was using the mainstream media to shove the necessity of the war down the throat of the public, the “counter-culture” couldn’t be controlled so easily.

Since the F-b—I’s COINTELPRO program of domestic surveillance wasn’t quite producing the desired results, President Lyndon B. Johnson authorized the 🤡 to undertake its own program of spying on US citizens.

Their main task was to infiltrate student organizations—both radical and otherwise—in order to gather intelligence and to subvert these groups from within.

They targeted famous groups such as “Students For a Democratic Society” and the Black Panthers.

By 1963 the combined efforts of the above-mentioned Intelligence Agency’s Directorate of Science and Technology, Army Intelligence and Chemical Corps were ready for any covert operations that they deemed necessary.

These agents were able to destroy a person’s reputation by:
-inducing hysteria or excessive emotional responses,
-causing temporary or permanent insanity, -suggesting or encouraging suicide,
- erasing memories,
-inventing double or triple personalities inside one’s mind,
- creating prolonged lapses of memory,
-and teaching or inducing racism and hatred against specific groups,

1960s and threat by Hippies:

Last week we talked about the use of LSD with Ken Kesey and The Merry Pranksters.

Why were Hippies such a threat, from the President on down to local levels? Why were they the objects for surveillance and disruptions?

The war in Vietnam was escalating. What if they stopped protesting the war in Southeast Asia and turned to expose domestic policies at home with the same energy?

One of the Byrds stopped singing at Monterey Pop to question the official Warren Report conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald was a "lone assassin."

Bob Dylan's “Bringing it All Back Home” album had a picture of Lyndon Johnson on the cover of Time.

By 1966 LBJ had ordered all writers and critics of his Commission Report on the JFK assassination, to be under surveillance.

John and Yoko Lennon were protesting the Vietnam war. The State Department wrote documents describing them as "highly political and unfavorable to the administration." It was recommended their citizenship be denied, and they be put under surveillance.

Woodstock, summer of 1969, was the turning point of rock festivals.

Time magazine described this happening as "one of the most significant political and sociological events of the age."

One half million American youth assembled for a three day rock concert.

They were non-violent, fun-loving hippies. LSD was handed out right and left during the concert in order to stifle dissent amongst a generation hell-bent on changing the course of history.

The Battleground

By July, 1968, counterintelligence operations attacked law abiding American individuals and groups.

The stated purpose of these assaults was to disrupt large gatherings, expose and discredit the enemy, and neutralize their selected targets.

The goal was to turn two opposing segments of society against each other to do the dirty work for ((them)).

Remember that among these “dangers” to the security of the United States were people with "different lifestyles'' and also "apostles of non-violence and racial harmony."

Also remember…((they)) have always aimed to “divide and conquer.”

Richard Helms (C-A Director) warned National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger in February of 1969, that their study on "Restless youth" was "extremely sensitive" and "would prove most embarrassing for all concerned if word got out that ((they)) were involved in domestic matters."
