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

In the 1970s, the public learned about COINTELPRO and other secret FBI programs directed towards infiltrating and disrupting civil rights organizations during the 1950s and 1960s. John Ali, national secretary of the Nation of Islam, was identified as an FBI undercover agent. Malcolm X had confided in a reporter that Ali had exacerbated tensions between him and Elijah Muhammad. He considered Ali his "archenemy" within the Nation of Islam leadership. On February 20, 1965, the night before the assassination, Ali met with Talmadge Hayer, one of the men convicted of killing Malcolm X.

Gene Roberts, one of Malcolm's chiefs of security, was an NYPD undercover cop. Roberts was an agent with NYPDs Bureau of Special Services (BOSS), a super-secret political intelligence unit nicknamed the Red Squad. Roberts was on the scene as Malcolm was assassinated and supposedly tried to resuscitate him after hed been shot. Roberts later went on to infiltrate and disrupt the Black Panther Party.

Two of the three men convicted of killing Malcolm X, Norman Butler and Robert 15X Johnson, were almost certainly NOT at the scene of the crime. The evidence points to a confluence of three groups involved in Malcolm Xs assassination: institutional forces (NYPD, FBI, CIA, etc.), The Nation of Islam, and elements within Malcolms own circle after his split with NOI. There is definitely overlap between these groups, as evidence suggests that elements of one group could have been working as agents of another.

Within days of the assassination, questions were raised about who bore ultimate responsibility. On February 23, James Farmer, the leader of the Congress of Racial Equality, announced at a news conference that local drug dealers, and not the Black Muslims, were to blame. Others accused the New York Police Department, the FBI, or the CIA, citing the lack of police protection and the ease with which the assassins had entered the Audubon Ballroom.

  • @MUZIKLUVA420 Whats scary is, that you might be right.

  • @mccobb3221 YOU DONT REALL MEAN THAT FKKN BULLSHIT YOU SAID! IF SO U DUMB AS FKK. THIS IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD....

  • @diamepiece unfortunately, Hoover was a self-hating Black man

  • Historically, whites have created a monster by their treatment of the black people, and anytime black people start to organize and gain momentum in their attempt to gain self-determination the powers-that-be immediately look for ways to divide and conquer. They're terrified the blacks may successfully gain any type of power over their own lives because - like any control freak - they don't want to lose that power themselves. MLKing, M-X, F Hampton, etc. Cointelpro and similar have ensured this.

  • @diamepiece no, good sir, there are devil's every where in the world. since when was evil restricted to the color of whatever a person's skin might be?

  • F*ck Hoover his name should be erased off all those buildings. He was a scumbag, racist, and a perfect example of what was wrong with the fifities and sixites!!!

  • As Salaam Alaikum and good morning,

    Bro. Malcolm was a man of his own integrity and character. I am not going to venture and say he was the only one, but he was one of many that took a stand and died for the cause.

  • @diamepiece Tell it brother And they still have his fucking name on dam near every FBI building. What a piece of shit this countrycan be toward our REAL BLACK LEADERS. TELL IT DR CLARKE.

  • @mccobb3221 Wait, 1,2,3 SHE CAN KISS MY WHITE ASS TOO!
