Eddie Conway talks with Professor Adjoa Aiye and Sue Udry, executive director of Defending Rights and Dissent. They are members of the BIE Abolition Collective, a coalition of lawyers, activists and advocates who have come together to counteract and expose the surveillance.

  1. I see paranoia, it's in the UK as well, and I see the US hurting the US as much as possible and for no good reason.

  2. I dont understand the motive behind this story. The government has a long list of white identity groups, and Islamic identity groups that they are investigating. Why should it come as a surprise that their are black identity groups as well? Am I missing something?

  3. As being designated to have a color of skin that makes me a so called member of the privileged classes, although all my life I have never felt any of that so called privilege class. What I am trying to say , being it has been going on all through my life , the argument of the rights of white people verses the rights people of color. I have never got involved in any racial discussion because I don't think I have a right to express an opinion, even though I have had black, brown and mixed race friends over the years, race or religion was never a topic of conversation, so I can not imagine what my friends or people of color go through on a daily basis.I have travelled all over the world and to me all people are the same, good and bad. I learnt a huge lesson in life regarding the issue of color, when I have travelled to Brazil, I believe that all Brazilians are color blind, the harmony , living side by side, rich or poor, racial issues never seemed to have raised its ugly head, so maybe the Brazilians have the answer to a lot of how racial divide and equality is dealt with.

  4. As far back is 30 years ago the United States has also been guilty of surveillance on active military. During my time in the Marine Corps, I received warnings about my affiliation with certain aactivist movements, which I kept very close to my chest. To this day, I don't understand how my affiliation with that movement was discovered, or how the movement could ever have known I was active Marine Corps. The crazy thing was it was activism for green energy. An idea which at the time I thought could be used to power military encampments during field deployment. Of course I also had a deeper interest, being community Independence through green energy initiatives.
    It seems the United States will always Target those who think outside the box, and won't follow the party lines. I'm grateful I have the opportunity to leave.

  5. Raised black fists…good. White "ok" handgesture…bad. "Black power" is good. "It's OK to be white" is bad. Progressives are so full of sh*t.

  6. The CO- prefic means "together." Counter-Intelligence is, and has always been, abbreviated CI, not COIN. COINTELPRO–even though the term wasn't coined until the 70s–has existed since at least 1924, when War Department Intelligence created the KKK and NAACP. The leaders of those groups were all working for the War Dept–whether they knew it at the time or not. Same with EVERY other antiestablishment group created since then, including the Black Panthers and Eagle Forum. The Real Killers can read our minds; existence is futile.

  7. American descendants of Slaves  have suffered incalculable generational damage from governmental and institutionalized racist policies and practices. From Slavery, Jim Crow Laws,  Mass Lynchings of Black People, the destruction of Black Towns like Black Wall St,  the denial of voting rights, Segregation, Redlining of Black Communities and

There are other historical examples of reparations, such as reparations were paid to the enemies and traitors of the United States such as the Civil War Confederates enslavers and Japan and Germany from WW2. Black Americans have fought and died in every major war and conflict  involving the U.S and have never become traitors  to the United States government  like the Confederacy. The CIA sponsored and orchestrated Crack Cocaine epidemic in the Black Communities all over the USA, which lead to the Mass Incarceration Federal Crime Bill of the '90s.   >>>https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKvVYhxLEi8

  8. I just cannot imagine why African American's would want to target police officers. I mean, you'd think they thought they were getting even for something if they did. What have cops ever done to deserve that kind of retaliation???? wink wink 😉

  9. The corporate class love to pit black and white workers against each other to prevent them from realizing the rich already stole from both of them. CLASS PRIDE WORLD WIDE!
