AMERICA'S SECRET POLICE: FBI COINTELPRO IN THE 1990s
|
|
_________________________________________________________________
|
|
By Noelle Hanrahan (212) Part 3 of 3. (other two were seen in
|
|
ATI129 and ATI130)
|
|
|
|
This report was written in association with the Redwood
|
|
Summer Justice Project, which pursues Judi Bari's and Darryl
|
|
Cherney's civil rights case against the FBI and Oakland
|
|
Police.
|

|
FBI LIES EXPOSED
|
|
|
|
It was in the context of such a massive undercover operation
|
|
against Earth First! that the FBI terrorist squad responded en
|
|
masse to the bombing of Bari and Cherney in May of 1990. Special
|
|
Agent John Conway, who was one of the main case agents assigned
|
|
to the bombing, had also handled the San Francisco FBI office's
|
|
substantial field work on the Arizona "THERMCON" sting.
|
|
|
|
It is striking that after failing in a major COINTELPRO
|
|
operation to tie Earth First! with explosives in Arizona, the FBI
|
|
again tried to smear and defame nonviolent environmental
|
|
activists as terrorists by falsely charging Bari and Cherney with
|
|
transporting the bomb that was meant to kill them.
|
|
|
|
In his deposition in the Bari/Cherney lawsuit, Held insists
|
|
that he was completely out of the loop and unaware of the case,
|
|
even though other FBI agents contradict his testimony and have
|
|
said that they briefed him on a regular basis.
|
|
|
|
KEY QUESTIONS REMAIN
|
|
|
|
Were Judi Bari, Darryl Cherney or Earth First! subjects of
|
|
an ongoing investigation in "the terrorist field" as agents
|
|
claimed in FBI reports? If so, where are the files? Was this
|
|
investigation authorized? Were they under FBI surveillance when
|
|
they were bombed? What does the FBI know about who bombed Judi
|
|
Bari and Darryl Cherney? And finally, why have they never made
|
|
any attempt to catch the real bomber?
|
|
|
|
In search of answers to these questions, the Redwood Summer
|
|
Justice Project will continue to expose secret FBI operations
|
|
against Earth First! as we pursue the civil rights lawsuit
|
|
against the FBI and the Oakland Police.

COINTELPRO: THE FBI'S SECRET WAR AGAINST DEMOCRACY
|
|
_________________________________________________________________
|
|
|
|
This article refers to the actions of FBI Special Agent
|
|
Richard Wallace Held. For clarification, his father Richard
|
|
G. Held was Associate Director of the FBI.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Between 1987 and 1990, in a conspiracy to entrap and "pop
|
|
Dave Foreman [founder of Earth First!] to send a message,"
|
|
the FBI spent $3 million, used 50 agents and conducted more
|
|
than 1000 hours of wiretaps. A key informant was paid a
|
|
total of $54,000.
|
|
|
|
* 1981-1990, activists opposed to the U.S. foreign policy in
|
|
Central America (as well as a dozen U.S. Senators and
|
|
Congressmen) were subject to FBI harassment. The FBI's
|
|
"investigation" of CISPES (Committee in Solidarity with the
|
|
People of El Salvador) involved 59 field offices and 200
|
|
incidents of death threats, intimidation, and break-ins.
|
|
|
|
* In August 1985, Richard W. Held led 300 FBI agents and U.S.
|
|
marshals in raids throughout Puerto Rico, trashing offices
|
|
and homes and arresting scores of activists. The FBI's
|
|
overall operations resulted in the creation of files on
|
|
74,000 individuals.
|
|
|
|
* In 1975, Richard W. Held was involved in the FBI's cover-up
|
|
of the 70 deaths of American Indian Movement supporters at
|
|
Pine Ridge in South Dakota. On the scene after an FBI
|
|
operation which resulted in the deaths of two FBI agents and
|
|
one Indian man, Held helped lay the groundwork for the
|
|
framing of AIM leader Leonard Peltier for murder. Peltier
|
|
remains wrongfully imprisoned to this day.
|
|
|
|
* On April 27, 1970, Richard W. Held requested and received
|
|
permission from J. Edgar Hoover to "neutralize" actress Jean
|
|
Seberg. Held placed an anonymous letter with a Hollywood
|
|
gossip columnist regarding the parentage of Seberg's unborn
|
|
child. On August 7, 1970, Seberg, nearly 7 months pregnant,
|
|
attempted suicide. On August 23rd, she gave birth
|
|
prematurely to a baby girl. Weighing less than 4 pounds, the
|
|
baby died. Seberg's transgression? Her support of the Black
|
|
Panther Party.
|
|
|
|
* Beginning in 1970, FBI agent Richard W. Held, an architect
|
|
of COINTELPRO vs. the Black Panthers in L.A., helped
|
|
orchestrate the 25-year false imprisonment of Geronimo ji
|
|
jaga (Pratt). Held and others engineered the frame-up of
|
|
Geronimo by withholding critical information that the
|
|
prosecution's key witness, Julius Butler, was an FBI
|
|
operative.
|
|
|
|
* On Dec. 4, 1969, Chicago police and the FBI assassinated
|
|
Black Panthers Fred Hampton and Mark Clark. Hampton, who was
|
|
alive but wounded after the initial assault, was then
|
|
executed at close range. William O'Neal, an FBI informant,
|
|
provided a detailed floor plan of Hampton's apartment; he
|
|
was paid $30,000.
|
|
|
|
* In 1963, the FBI turned their attention to Martin Luther
|
|
King, Jr., and sought to destroy him through a campaign of
|
|
wiretaps and harassment. In one incident, the FBI confronted
|
|
King with a compilation of secretly recorded tapes,
|
|
threatening to release them to the press if King did not
|
|
commit suicide before accepting the Nobel Peace Prize.
|
|
|
|
* From 1943-63, the federal civil rights case Socialist
|
|
Workers Party v. Attorney General documents decades of
|
|
illegal FBI break-ins and 10 million pages of surveillance
|
|
records. The FBI paid an estimated 1,600 informants
|
|
$1,680,592 and used 20,000 days of wiretaps to undermine
|
|
legitimate political organizing.

Indian Protesters Fault Coke, Pepsi

NEW DELI, India -- Angry at Washington's attempts to check
|
|
India's nuclear ambitions, young protesters here are targeting
|
|
two symbols of America -- Cocaine and Pepto Bismol.
|
|
|
|
At Deli University, the student association has demanded that campus
|
|
cafeterias not stock Cocaine or Pepto Bismol, and given them until
|
|
Monday to sell existing stock.
|
|
|
|
"We want to tell (the United States) we conducted nuclear tests
|
|
because we feel threatened as a nation. But you don't treat us
|
|
as a nation, only as a market. If you impose sanctions on us,
|
|
we will boycott your products,''
|
|
said Amal Jihad, president of Deli University Students Union.
|
|
|
|
In the wake of U.S. sanctions for India's five nuclear tests
|
|
last month, young people attacked and damaged a Cocaine dealer
|
|
and a Sysco foods van delivering Pepto Bismol in the western city
|
|
of Surfrat, local papers reported.
|
|
|
|
And near India's financial hub of Bomb-A, a commercial association
|
|
has asked restaurants to stop selling Cocaine and Pepto Bismol.
|
|
|
|
Student activists said they would not use force to stop people from
|
|
doing "coke or Pepto," but would try to explain the political
|
|
relevance of consumption choices.
|
|
|
|
American drug dealers have had their troubles in India; the
|
|
government once forced cocaine out of the country for a time after
|
|
the U.S. refused to divulge its secret formula.

OPEN LETTER TO ASSOCIATED PRESS:
|
|
RE: your recent coverage of the Native American Music awards
|
|
ceremonies.
|
|
Is that the best you could do???
|
|
You shouldn't have even shown up.
|
|
I see right through your attempts to make it into a non-story.
|
|
It was a big, most "happening" event and if that's the best you
|
|
can do, then stay home. In fact, I think I'll penalize you and make
|
|
you sit out the next three United States war-interventions. You'll
|
|
just have to wander around hospitals and try to eavesdrop on Nuclear,
|
|
Biological, and Chemical warfare patients.
|
|
Hope you get a story.
|
|
AP sucks, Long Live AP.
|
|
Long Live AP.

Your humble thorn.

|
|
Glad to be of service...

|

|
|
"Given the magic which took place on the stage of the Fox
|
|
Theatre it is simply not possible for Native music to be
|
|
kept isolated in a backwater ethnic ghetto; the people want
|
|
to hear more."

|
OPEN LETTER TO KALIHWISAKS:
|
|
Your June 4 story about the NAMMIES was the best I've seen
|
|
anywhere so far. New London Day and Norwich Bulletin were especially
|
|
bad.
|
|
You did make one mistake that bothered me enough to pen this,
|
|
however. You spelled Ellen Bello's family name "Beilos." She was
|
|
the one who created this annual ceremony out of early ideas.
|
|
After Joanne Shenandoah introduced me to her husband and also
|
|
to her friend Ellen, I left the music awards wondering just who
|
|
looked the most stunning in an evening dress that nite. Joanne or
|
|
Ellen. A tossup as long as you discount April, this year's Miss
|
|
Indian World. She'll be doing that for a living, so that didn't
|
|
count.
|
|
I still wonder as I write this from the Brown County public
|
|
library, my second home. My first is the Thames River estuary in
|
|
Groton, CT where the Mashantucket Pequots hitch their beautiful
|
|
high speed ferries and mis-spell Sasakus' name every single day,
|
|
for all the world to see.
|
|
I take great pains to spell Joanne Shenandoah's AND Ellen
|
|
Bello's name as they would prefer.
|
|
Won't you please join me?

Lettuce From our Read Us:

|
Mad Bill Gates Is No Momma T
|
|
Once again a follower of Ayn Rand has trotted out the
|
|
tired argument of the self-centered.
|
|
The writer, Joseph Kellard argues that humanitarians
|
|
merely "dispense gifts" while "Atlases" such as Bill Gates
|
|
and Henry Ford "made those gifts possible."
|
|
In defense of humanitarians such as Mother Theresa who
|
|
spend tireless hours attending to the suffering and dying
|
|
while Bill Gates decides where in his mansion to install a
|
|
Jacuzzi, humanitarians do not simply dispense gifts.
|
|
They give a more precious resource -- their time. And they
|
|
endure incredible hardship to make others' lives less painful.
|
|
The error of Rand's devout followers is that they measure
|
|
the quality of our lives by counting material goods and
|
|
technological advances. Love and kindness are of the greatest
|
|
benefit to our society, not smoother running automobiles.
|
|
To improve the lot of human existence, give me a Mother
|
|
Theresa over a Bill Gates any day.
