<td valign="top">Cointelpro 101 exposes illegal surveillance,
disruption, and outright murder committed by the US
government in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. Cointelpro refers to
the official FBI COunter INTELigence PROgram carried out to
survey, imprison, and eliminate leaders of social justice
movements and to disrupt, divide, and destroy the movements
as well. Many of the government's crimes are still unknown.
<br>
<br>
Through interviews with activists who experienced these
abuses first-hand, with rare historical footage, the film
provides an educational introduction to a period of intense
repression and draws relevant lessons for the present and
future. America's regimes are prepared to deploy
COINTELPRO-like repression whenever popular movements
threaten the established order.<br>
<br>
COINTELPRO 101 is nothing like the all-too-common soft,
liberal documentary... It is a film that makes plain the
fact that all of your problems of today, from war, to
incarceration, to banking crises, joblessness and
environmental catastrophe, still exist because movements to
do away with them suffered and continue to suffer the
greatest levels of repression from the most powerful state
apparatus in world history. And worse still, as Black
Panther Party veteran Kathleen Cleaver states unequivocally,
unlike the official Counter Intelligence Program of previous
decades, today's version is perfectly legal.<br>
<br>
"<i>Many of the techniques used would be intolerable in a
democratic society even if all of the targets had been
involved in violent activity, but COINTELPRO went far
beyond that.</i>" ~ Final report of the Select Committee
to study governmental operations, 1976<br>
<br>
" <i>We may have all come on different ships, but we're in
the same boat now.</i>" ~ Martin Luther King, Jr</td>
