The FBI’s War on Black America
Through a secret program called the Counter Intelligence Program (COINTELPRO), there was a concerted effort to subvert the will of the people to avoid the rise “of a black Messiah” that would mobilize the African-American community into a meaningful political force.
This documentary establishes historical perspective on the measures initiated by J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI which aimed to discredit black political figures and forces of the late 1960′s and early 1970′s.
Combining declassified documents, interviews, rare footage and exhaustive research, it investigates the government’s role in the assassinations of Malcolm X, Fred Hampton, and Martin Luther King Jr. Were the murders the result of this concerted effort to avoid “a black Messiah”?

I can’t believe that there have been no comments written on this documentary. I found it rivoting and concerning. I don’t believe that I’m the only person to have viewed this. Aside from that– this is a must see for all people… not just Blacks, as this is not only about Blacks being silenced, it is about all americans. My only wish in viewing this film is that the quality were better, but I do understand that archive footage is being utilized.
Thank you for creating this website– I share your enthusiasim for documentaries! Good work to whomever made this film and to the creation of this site.
My best to you.
Wow that is something else – The FBI is so wrong for this… I wish they would have talked about how the CIA started the bloods & crips rivalry with its introduction of crack cocain in the black community
This .rap is not used just on blacks, not just back then….look around you, it has worked so well for decades, what would make them stop now?
Thanks for posting this!!
educational and so incredibly sad!
My documentary The FBI’s War is now at Amazon.Com
The real sad story of conitelpro is that it is now back.

Great Documentary! Chilling and Enlightening This documentary gives us clues on to how the modern day FBI and CIA continue to act to oppressed peoples’ especially overseas.
The one thing I am wondering is why this documentary is under the “conspiracy” section here. The information presented here is not only proven to be true but backed up by thousands of witnesses, testimonies, and literature.
Until we start owing up to Americas true history things will not change. We must try to educate every one we know by sharing this documentary! Email it to a friend everybody!
There are some disturbing truth that lies in the pages of history, some of which will never be revealed. Stories of conspiracy and hatred for a people. …But we are from a strong and persevering stock. A people whose strength and courage has changed the world. History has a way of righting all wrongs, and shining light of the darkness of humanity, and we will be better for the roll we played in opening its eyes to equality and love. For humanity to remove the perception of one man being fundamentally different from another, and that one man’s rights and privileges are of more importance than that of another is to embrace an eternal truth, that will lead us to a more sustainable future built on peace and brotherly love. But the mess they the haters make until then, is the bed that they themselves will lay in.
Add Tupac to the list of “black Messiah”‘s that they took out. He was all about this.
@atown – Tupac got taken out by the FBI. (wondering whether that should be a period or a question mark) Really. or ?
how the CIA started the bloods & crips rivalry with its introduction of crack cocain in the black community : they did not start the crips or bloods
crips became big out of the black panters , and bloods came when crips were taking over the streets harassing people and it was just a response to that
@ no name
There are things that some people would rather not know. There are groups, about which people are apathetic. Situations of injustice and inequality against others are avoided or ignored to assuage the conscious. People want to believe the best about the U.S. Government and it’s agencies; therefore, the vast majority of visitors to this site will not choose to watch this documentary. This is apparent on a number of documentaries that expose racial hatred and division; not many viewers and scant commentary.
@ Battleangel
There were a lot of entities conspiring against Black leaders, but I do agree with the idea that this listing is misleading. It is a part of the “History of America” but those in power still control how things will be told. I’m just thankful that this site exists.
@ Dr. Mueller – I took the liberty of checking the link (your name) and via your site and was inspired to Google “Howard Zinn: You Can’t Be Neutral on a Moving Train.” It led me to a interview of Mr Zinn (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxznlv13ZW4) which I thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you too, for your work and contributions, Dr. Mueller.
Sadly though, it was through the beginning of that interview I learned of Mr. Zinn’s passing earlier this year.
RIP Howard Zinn. A true Patriot IMO.
Doc is dead. FBI coverup? Maybe.
