During the sixties and seventies the American public became aware that FBI counterintelligence programs were being misused. Instead of rooting out
soviet spies, COINTELPRO was infiltrating government opposition groups with no connection to the soviet communist party and committing illegal actions
against them. Minority rights groups, feminists, environmentalists and other activists were the victims of this campaign of terror in which FBI agents
would steal, instigate violence, assault and kill.
Most people believe that things such as this disappeared decades ago, but thanks to several executive orders silencing its movements, COINTELPRO is
still happening. It has been responsible for several acts of violence against activists, often killing them.
