COINTELPRO, officially known as the Counter Intelligence Program, is an ongoing operation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), usually aided by other liberal projects, to censor, infiltrate, and eliminate Marxist-Leninist, civil rights, and Black nationalist movements in the United States (US).[1][2][3] COINTELPRO began in 1956 during the rise of the civil rights movement, officially ending in 1971.[4] Despite the official end of COINTELPRO, the FBI has continued to launch counterintelligence operations to silence political dissidents.[5][6][7]

By organization[edit | edit source]

New Black Panther Party[edit | edit source]

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), and mainstream media continuously work with the FBI and to slander the New Black Panther Party (NBPP).[5][6] Particularly, the ADL and the SPLC have slandered the organization as a "hate group," accusing it of "anti-White" and "antisemtic" racism. The SPLC backs up these claims by citing statements against Zionism and Israel made by the NBPP.[8] However, the vast majority of these statements have either been anti-Zionist or comedic.
