Did COINTELPRO Spread Misinformation? In this video, we will discuss the Counter Intelligence Program, commonly known as COINTELPRO, and its significant role in shaping the labor movement and socialist movements throughout history. COINTELPRO was a covert operation run by the Federal Bureau of Investigation from the 1950s to the early 1970s, aimed at disrupting various civil rights organizations, leftist groups, and Black liberation movements. We will examine how this program employed misinformation as a tactic to create division and distrust among targeted groups.

Through false information and forged documents, COINTELPRO sought to weaken movements from within, exacerbating ideological and personal conflicts. The impact of these tactics was particularly felt by prominent figures like Martin Luther King Junior and Malcolm X, who faced false accusations and doctored recordings aimed at creating suspicion among allies.

Additionally, we will explore the broader implications of COINTELPRO's actions, particularly from a socialist perspective, highlighting how these tactics were used to maintain existing power structures. The legacy of COINTELPRO serves as a reminder for contemporary movements to remain vigilant against misinformation and infiltration. Join us as we uncover this important chapter in history and discuss its relevance to current social and economic justice movements.
