Hi friends, happy Thursday!

Welcome to the Dark History podcast. It’s no secret that the FBI has had a bad reputation for spying, sleuthing, and watchlists. But where did it all begin? At some point, the FBI went from just keeping an eye on people to actively trying to ELIMINATE them. They had their sights set on an up-and-coming inspirational leader from within a growing American movement, and they would do whatever it took to take them down. Today, we’re taking a deep dive into the dark waters o f the secret Counter Intelligence Program, AKA COINTELPRO.

I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.
