We start today’s episode with our weekly State Terror Roundup.
Then, we go to Denver to learn about how the FBI infiltrated Black Lives Matter organizing there. Our guest is Trevor Aaronson, journalist and the author of The Terror Factory: Inside the FBI’s Manufactured War on Terrorism. He is also a contributing writer for The Intercept and the host of a podcast called Alphabet Boys – which reveals secret investigations of the FBI, DEA, ATF, and other agencies, and includes secret undercover recordings that the government never wanted the public to hear. Alphabet Boys, the podcast, is rolling out its first season with new episodes weekly, and this season as well as Trevor’s latest piece for The Intercept is focused on FBI infiltration into Black Lives Matter organizing in Denver.

Then we put FBI infiltration into context, looking at the FBI’s Counter Intelligence Program (COINTELPRO) with guest Mama Akua Njeri, a survivor of the COINTELPRO attack by Chicago police in 1969 that assassinated her then-husband Fred Hampton Sr, while she was in bed next to him, pregnant with their son.
