The Weather Underground As Seen Through A Child’s Eyes

July 26, 2026 Michael Steven Smith, The Indypendent. , , ,
Zayd Ayers Dohrn, the son of Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, leaders of the Weather Underground, has published to much acclaim a new book about his parents, their organization which came out of Students for a Democratic Society, and what he endured as a child growing up on the run from the FBI.  Leon Trotsky observed about reformist Norman Thomas that “he was a socialist as a result of a misunderstanding“. The same could be said about the Weather Underground , that they were “revolutionists” as a result of a misunderstanding.

COINTELPRO 2.0

July 18, 2026 Caitlin Johnstone, Consortium News. , , , , ,
The Trump administration has announceda renewed crusade against “far-left terrorism,” which sounds okay if you don’t know that the word “terrorism” only ever means “behavior which goes against the agendas of the western empire.” The United States has for example placed sanctions on U.N. special rapporteur Francesca Albanese for calling attention to Israeli atrocities in Gaza, justifying the move by claiming the human rights expert has “expressed support for terrorism”. In the U.K., police have been arresting people on terrorism charges just for holding signs which say “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action”.

The FBI Has Deputized Local Cops As Federal Agents

July 12, 2026 Marianne Dhenin, Truthout. , , , ,
As the Trump administration widens its crackdown on immigrant communities and progressive activists, federal task forces are playing an important behind-the-scenes role. Organizers warn that institutions like the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs) are targeting vulnerable communities and sharing the kind of information that facilitates Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids. But some say the current political climate also presents opportunities as appetites grow for local and state agencies to cut ties with the federal task forces endangering their communities.

When The FBI Comes Knocking

June 20, 2026 Kevin Gosztola, The Dissenter. , , ,
Along with criminalizing activists for mobilizing dissent, the FBI under director Kash Patel is increasingly engaged in operations that target journalists. Perhaps, the most glaring example is the “criminal” leak investigation that was opened into Atlantic journalist Sarah Fitzpatrick for reporting on Patel’s “drinking habits and erratic conduct set off a chain of legal and institutional confrontations,” according to MS NOW. MS NOW reported that FBI agents assigned to the matter were afraid of the “professional risk” to their careers if they searched for Fitzpatrick’s name in FBI databases and examined her social media.

DHS Documents: Government Bracing For Nationwide Anti-AI Riots

June 12, 2026 Alan MacLeod, Mintpress News. , , ,
New documents from government agencies such as the FBI and Department of Homeland Security show that Washington is preparing for widespread anti-A.I. riots, as the technology destroys communities and industries across the country. Ironically, the Trump administration is already using invasive A.I. technology to identify and suppress what it calls anti-A.I. “extremists,” in the process, sweeping the entire nation into its massive surveillance dragnet.  More than 1,000 pages of leaked documents reviewed by WIRED Magazine show that government agencies are anticipating a huge wave of domestic unrest in the coming years, as artificial intelligence upends American society.

US DoJ Confirms FBI Director’s Email Breached By Iranian Hacker Group

March 28, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
A Justice Department ​official confirmed on 27 March that material reportedly leaked from FBI Director Kash Patel's personal email “appears to be authentic.” The material was leaked on Friday by Handala, a group of pro-Palestinian vigilante hackers considered to have links to Iranian government cyberintelligence units. Handala said it had accessed FBI Director Kash Patel's personal email inbox and published photographs of the director, along with some of his private and professional correspondence. Patel "will now find his name among the list of ​successfully hacked victims," the hacker group announced on their website.

FBI Spied On Washington Post Reporter Prior To Raiding Their Home

February 3, 2026 Kevin Gosztola, The Dissenter. , , , ,
The FBI spied on Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson prior to raiding her home in Virginia. The bureau also obtained search warrants that allowed agents to force Natanson to unlock her devices if they were biometrically secured and depicted her as a reporter involved in a criminal conspiracy. On January 14, the FBI seized Natanson’s work laptop, personal laptop, iPhone, a terabyte hard drive, and Garmin running watch. The search warrants indicated that the raid was connected to an Espionage Act prosecution against Pentagon contractor Aurelio Perez-Lugones, one of Natanson’s alleged sources who had contacted her via the Signal messaging app. 

Reporter Raided By FBI Lost Contact With Over 1,000 Sources

January 24, 2026 Kevin Gosztola, The Dissenter. , , ,
Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson says the FBI’s seizure of all of her devices has eliminated her “ability to collect information and publish news stories.” “I no longer have access to my more than 1,200 Signal contacts or communications with any of my sources. I literally cannot contact them without access to my devices. Nor can I review my past messages with them on Signal,” according to Natanson. Natanson also shares that the FBI essentially obtained “access to the Post newsroom” because she used Ellipsis on her computer. Ellipsis is a content management system that “provides an enormous window into The Post’s journalism, with all stories in progress.”

The Truth About MLK’s Murder Still Terrifies America

January 20, 2026 Edward J. Curtin Jr. , Scheer Post. , , , , , , ,
Very few Americans are aware of the truth behind the assassination of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., the United States’ celebrated civil rights icon. They know that the U.S. government honored him with a federal holiday, but not of the evidence that the U.S. government killed him. Few books have been written about it, unlike other significant assassinations, especially JFK’s murder. For more than 55 years there has been a media blackout supported by government disinformation to hide the truth. And few people, in the public’s massive act of self-deception, have chosen to question the official explanation of King’s death.

The Turtle Island Liberation Front Warning For Activists

December 21, 2025 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
The United States has a long history of using informants and entrapment as tools to discredit or to defeat leftist movements. There are other objectives as well, as Black Agenda Report explained in 2010, “The object is to terrify the public into surrendering their civil liberties in a twilight struggle with a mostly nonexistent domestic enemy.” It is important to remember the many examples of state repression as we learn of the arrest of members of a little-known and newly formed organization called the Turtle Island Liberation Front, who stand accused of planning New Year's Eve bombings in Southern California. It is an understatement to say that the charges against them should not be accepted at face value.

Malcolm X’s Daughters Sue NYPD, FBI About Their Role In His Assassination

December 21, 2025 Michael Smith, The Indypendent. , , , ,
Malcolm X was assassinated 60 years ago in the Audubon Ballroom in Harlem. Assassination is a political murder. Will the truth about the role of the NYPD and the FBI in the murder and coverup finally come out? Malcolm X‘s daughters are plaintiffs in a lawsuit in Federal District Court in New York City to expose the NYPD and the FBI. They have retained some of the great police misconduct litigators in the country including Chicago attorneys Flint Taylor and Ben Elson of the Peoples Law Office (PLO), Jonathan Moore and Luna Droubi in New York City, nationally recognized civil rights attorney Ben Crump and his associate Nabeha Shaer, and Newark attorney Ray Hamlin, who has represented the family for years.

FBI Allegedly Targeted Filipino American Journalist Now In Detention

November 26, 2025 Kevin Gosztola, The Dissenter. , , , , ,
Filipino American journalist Ya'akub Vijandre was allegedly targeted by the FBI in retaliation for his refusal to become an informant. The FBI reviewed Vijandre’s immigration record and social media posts, and then recommended that immigration services terminate his DACA status, according to Vijandre’s attorneys.  Vijandre is currently detained at a for-profit ICE detention center in Folkston, Georgia, operated by GEO Group. He was arrested “at gunpoint” outside his home in Arlington, Texas, on October 7, 2025.  The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) pointed to his reporting on pro-Palestinian protests and various cases in the “global war on terrorism” to justify their actions.

With Five Eyes On China, FBI Bulks Up In New Zealand

August 8, 2025 Mick Hall, Consortium News. , , ,
The opening of a Federal Bureau of Investigations standalone office in New Zealand has caused widespread opposition, sparking a protest outside a U.S. consulate and vows by opposition parties to have it closed. F.B.I. Director Kash Patel announced his organisation’s upgraded presence in the South Pacific nation on July 31, during a visit to Wellington, standing alongside senior government officials in its parliamentary building, The Beehive. He told media: “Some of the most important global issues of our times are the ones that New Zealand and America work on together — countering the CCP [Chinese Communist Party] in the Indo PACOM theatre, countering the narcotics trade, working together against cyber-intrusions and ransomware operations and, most importantly, protecting our respective citizenry.” The F.B.I. operates legats, or legal attaches, across the world, allowing the organisation to coordinate with domestic law enforcement agencies, government officials and intelligence partners.

The Deep State’s Burst Appendix

August 3, 2025 Ray McGovern, Consortium News. , , ,
Small wonder that the Deep State tried to keep under lock and key the explosive appendix to Special Counsel John Durham’s anemic May 2023 report on the Russiagate “scandal.” Sen. Charles Grassley, head of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, made it public on Thursday and it became the latest revelation in July to blow open the real scandal behind Russiagate.  It’s small wonder, too, that when Kash Patel won Senate approval to be F.B.I. director, former C.I.A. Director John Brennan, former F.B.I. Director James Comey, and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper “lawyered up.” Clapper told CNN colleague Caitlin Collins last week he’d been lawyered up with “perpetual attorneys, since I left the government in 2017.”

Charges Dropped Against Anti-ICE Protester Alejandro Orellana

July 31, 2025 Fight Back! News. , , , , ,
Los Angeles, CA – On July 29, the federal government announced the conspiracy charges against Chicano activist Alejandro Orellana were dropped – a victory for Centro CSO and all freedom fighters in the immigrant rights movement fighting against ICE terror! On June 12, the FBI, National Guard, and the East LA Sheriff station raided Orellana’s home. They arrested Orellana, destroyed his family home, and locked him up at the Metropolitan Detention Center that has been the site of many anti-deportation protests. The Justice Department charged him with conspiracy to commit civil disorder and aiding and abetting civil disorder, which could have resulted in up to five years in prison for Orellana.
