Day 5 of 45
At the age of 15, Mumia [Wesley Cook] was a founding member of the Philadelphia branch of the Black Panther Party. He was identified in the FBI files as one of the top three leaders in the Philadelphia BPP.
Over 800 pages of FBI files obtained for Jamal by the PDC make it clear that the FBI and cops were to use any “dirty trick” to silence Mumia—wiretaps, informants and police spies. The government relentlessly pursued Mumia at demos, newspaper sales, political meetings and fund-raisers—even at picnics. They interrogated school officials, contacted employers, harassed Jamal’s mother.
It was Mumia’s talent as a young revolutionary journalist and propagandist that attracted so much FBI attention. An October 24, 1969 report on Mumia urged that he be placed under high-level surveillance: “In spite of the subject’s age (15 years), Philadelphia feels that …the subject should be included on the Security Index” [those deemed a “threat” to “national security”] and the Administrative Index (ADEX) of those to be rounded up and thrown into concentration camps in case of a “national emergency.”
Despite the FBI’s acknowledgement that Jamal “has not displayed a propensity for violence” and was not once found with a gun, the files regularly labeled him “Armed and Dangerous”—a license for the cops and G-men to shoot first and ask questions later.

The FBI’s COINTELPRO conspiracy to destroy the Black Panthers

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

⚡️ Federal prosecutors filed an emergency motion to detain a University of Michigan student today, alleging that she destroyed evidence during a raid on her home on October 30. It comes as part of a sprawling case against eight—and now 12—Michigan student protesters.

The motion to detain Zainab Hakim stems from a superseding indictment that prompted several cars and an armed tactical team to arrest her partner, Henry MacKeen-Shapiro, as he walked from his teaching job on October 30. He was released on unsecured bail the next day. When police breached Hakim and Mackeen-Shapiro’s home, prosecutors allege that Hakim destroyed a laptop. The accusation is now central to an emergency hearing scheduled for 3:30pm EST today.

The case drew sharp criticism from civil-rights groups when the indictment was presented in June. They argued that the government was criminalizing protected political speech. “When an indictment incorporates extensive references to protected advocacy, there is a legitimate concern that it may sweep constitutionally protected speech into the narrative of criminal prosecution,” CAIR-Michigan said in June.

Students in the pro-Palestine movement at the University of Michigan said that the case is a smokescreen to distract from their core demand: transparency regarding the university’s $21.2 billion endowment, which they claim is indirectly invested in weapons and surveillance technology through a “black box” of approximately $6 billion in private funds.

“They want to portray us as stupid terrorists who don’t understand how investments work,” a spokesperson for the Michigan 12 support movement told Drop Site News yesterday. “But what they’re really doing is trying to hide the way the university functions as this corporate vehicle for American imperialism, and refuse these demands of transparency, accountability, and divestment.”

Day 3 of 45
FBI director J. Edgar Hoover: “The Black Panther Party, without question, represents the greatest threat to internal security of the country.”
Mumia (from Rolling Stone interview): “When I hear about due process, my mind automatically goes not to me and my case but to Fred Hampton, the former chairman of the Chicago chapter of the Black Panther Party, who was killed in his bed by the government for being a Black Panther.… I was one of four Panthers from Philadelphia who traveled to Chicago immediately after hearing of his assassination and we stood in that house within hours of the state’s execution of Fred Hampton.”
