James Baldwin on the Assassination of Malcolm X

The Complete Malcolm X on DVD: http://malcolmxfiles.blogspot.com/

Karl Evanzz, a staff writer for the Washington Post, researched more than 300,000 pages of declassified FBI and CIA documents for his book, The Judas Factor. In its introduction he states, "After analyzing these resources, I am convinced that Louis E. Lomax, an industrious African-American journalist who befriended Malcolm X in the late 1950's, had practically solved the riddle of his assassination." He believed that Malcolm X was set up for the assassination by a former friend, John Ali, who was an agent/informer for an intelligence agency. Malcolm X had previously commented that Ali had been responsible for his ouster from the NOI. Ali eventually rose to the position of National Secretary of the NOI. Lomax was later killed in an automobile accident (due to brake failure).

It is now known that government and law enforcement agencies planted infiltrators in the OAAU, NOI and almost all of the other civil rights movement organizations. Some of these agent/informers were highly placed. Their assignments were not only to report on all of their activities, plans and members, but to create disruption, distrust and to frighten any supporters. The involvement of the government's "Cointelpro" (counter-intelligence program) operation to "neutralize" Malcolm X through BOSS, the NOI, and organized crime is strongly inferred by Evanzz in his book. The goal of the Cointelpro program was to neutralize radical and subversive political organizations and dissidents through covert means, such as "black-bag jobs," where agents/informers would enter homes and offices without warrants and remove or copy files, records ore plant incriminating material.

@MyDarthKader What? How does this relate to anything that's been said before? Bizzare...

But yes - thanks for pointing out that the 3 major monotheistic religions share the same root. And hate gays pretty much equally...

@hassanking23 I do not believe Baldwin hated Malcolm X. I read his essays, he respected Malcolm but disagreed with his actions.

@JonnyBoyMach2 Uh, Allah is just the Arabic word for God. Just like Yahweh is the Hebrew word for God. Muslims, Christians and Jews all worship the same God, just in different ways. Idiot.
