COINTELPRO NEWS!

I came across this information myself about two years back when doing research while working on a documentary about the survivors of the Waco, TX siege by the ATF and FBI. I looked up something about children on the FBI's own website and it listed both the Waco siege and The Black Panther Party for Self Defense. I had studied the Black Panthers and Huey P. Newton in high school and found the connection quite interesting. I tried to tell as many people as I could about it but no one seemed to care or think what I had discovered was relevant. I mean why should little ol' me know something important that they didn't already know, right? Well, evidently it is as this has been published shedding new light on the subject. I love activists! They inspire me.

    As I was reading this I was thinking that those in the public who would have hated these folks, had they been caught, would have been calling themselves "conservatives". Then, after reading it it dawned on me that those I personally now know who think Snowden should be punished also call themselves "conservatives". This relates to an earlier rant I joined here where it's clear that too many conservatives blur the line over into statism. This really is harmful to America in the long run...

    These burglars had big cajones...

      I have found conservatives and liberals both think Snowden is a traitor. Since they don't have independent thought, they only follow the herd mentality. They listen and believe whatever the mainstream media tells them to believe. Since their is a choice between left and right, they never have to think for themselves outside of that left/right paradigm. Most folks are afraid to think outside of the accepted parameters of society, so they just fall into line and continue being slaves. So I agree this has been very harmful to America. Though I believe we are living during the most exciting times as the awakening is upon us. Whether or not it feels immediate or obvious at times, we are a part of it and you can't stop an idea. I'm sure things will get worse before they get better but I am prepared for that.

      People will realize their own humanity is more important than what they've come to understand or have taken for granted. They just need leaders with integrity and conviction to empower and enlighten them. Eventually more and more will become those leaders.

      “I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.” - Thomas Paine

        "I have found conservatives and liberals both think Snowden is a traitor. Since they don't have independent thought, they only follow the herd mentality."

        You do not know what you're talking about.

        I think for myself.
        He is a traitor because he gave aid and comfort to our enemies. He is a hero for bringing to light that the NSA was violating citizen's 4th Amendment-protected rights.

        Benedict Arnold was a hero before he was driven into treason; if not for him we probably would not have won our independence. As the sides were somewhat ambiguous, and as he was sorely abused for his contributions, even his treason was not entirely black and white.

        You may disagree with me. That doesn't mean I don't have independent thought. All it means is that you're wrong.
