- This is a summary quote from the IMBd website that describes the movie about the Cointelpro Program called Cointelpro 101 by Anonymous. This audio comment gets into a great deal of detail that one of my core research group’s member, the late Mark Dean had direct knowledge of. I knew Mark very well and had been in the field with him numerous times. He was a survivor of the research mentioned from the San Francisco Bay Area back in the 1970’s when he was a close friend of the late Marcel Vogel, a scientist from IBM who had gotten very heavily into the paranormal in those days. One night I found out just how close that he had gotten when he told me that he had just gotten a call from the President’s Science advisor after he had made comment on the messages carried by the old computer bulletin board system. He also had been asked to dinner by one of the members of the SRI Research Group, the world famous UFO Researcher, Jacques Vallee.
- One of the people also mentioned in this audio clip is Dr. Jack Sarfatti. I refer you to the lengthy series of YouTube videos where he and the very well connected physicist Dan Smith carry on conversations that get steep and deep into this .
- Cointelpro 101 exposes illegal surveillance, disruption, and outright murder committed by the US government in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. Cointelpro refers to the official FBI COunter INTELigence PROgram carried out to surveil, imprison, and eliminate leaders of social justice movements and to disrupt, divide, and destroy the movements as well. Many of the government’s crimes are still unknown. Through interviews with activists who experienced these abuses first-hand, with rare historical footage, the film provides an educational introduction to a period of intense repression and draws relevant lessons for the present and future.
