Although the Civil Rights Movement led to many well-known changes at the institutional level, it is widely agree That the movement did not succeed in a total transformation of American society. The dream of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. did not come true.The exact reasons for this are subject to debate, which often unfortunately results in partisan guilt between conservatives and liberals.
Looking at this history, little attention is paid to one of the most unfortunate reasons why the Civil Rights Movement lost strength: the interference and attacks of the US intelligence agencies decided to neutralize what they saw as a force for change that It could destabilize society.
Efforts to marginalize and degrade the success of the Civil Rights Movement have developed over many years, but acquired an initial intensity during the 1960s. The assets of the CIA, including Gloria Steinem, were never far from a broader general process in which American black civil rights leaders were attacked and the Afro-American society was affected.Agents such as Steinem became directly involved with propaganda propagation as a virus during the 1960s and beyond. The effects on the black community in the United States have had such tragic consequences that they could be safely defined as an experiment in population control.
An examination of the methods addressed by the Civil Rights Movement can teach us much about our history and even more about what we should watch carefully in the future.
The story of I. Steinem with the CIA.
The beginning of Steinem's story with the CIA is somewhat confusing, although the facts indicate that she was recruited during her college years or immediately after. From 1956 to 1958, Steinem traveled to India as a member of Chester Bowles Asian.
According to Documentation of Steinem's career.The individuals he met during his stay there included the founder of the Indian Communist Party, M. N. Roy, and an investigator who appeared to have been an agent of the CIA.
Steinem's "official" association with the CIA began his return to the United States in 1959 when he took over a principal organization called the Independent Investigation Service, where he was entrusted recruiting students to attend youth festivals controlled by the Soviets in 1959 and 1962.
In 1978, the feminist group Restockings wrote in the book Feminist Revolution that Steinem was listed as co-director of an Independent Research Service brochure entitled A Review of Black Segregation in the United States, which argued that the segregation of Americans Blacks were, at least partially, their own. perpetuated
When the feminist Revolution was first published, Ford Foundation connected to the CIA He was one of those who demanded that the Random House editorial remove all references to Steinem and the Independent Research Service.
The connection between Steinem, the Independent Investigation Service and the CIA was not exposed until 1967, when the details of the clandestine support were leaked. Walls Magazine, then widely reported by the Washington Post and the New York Times.
Both of them INC and Steinem herself would finally recognize the connection in the following years, although both insisted that her work was aimed at fighting communism.
Steinem's recognized tenure with the CIA resulted in a series of high-profile connections with people involved in various CIA operations.
Steinem discusses his stay with the CIA after his exposition.
Research of the University of Missouri-St. Luis lists Rockefeller President Chase Manhattan Bank, John McCloy, OSS psychological warfare expert and senior executive of Time, Inc. C.D. Jackson and Water gateoperative of the connected CIA Cordon Meyer as individuals who supported their work with the Independent Investigation Service.
Although the CIA placed some degree of trust in Steinem, other agencies distrusted it. A few years later, the FBI warned the division of civil rights of the Department of Justice that Steinem was a security risk and an ill-advised hiring because of what the associations of the extreme left considered unacceptable.
Although the relationship between Steinem and the CIA allegedly ended after 1962, his associations with high-profile figures who control public policy continued. According to Julian Assange, Steinem date Henry Kissinger during his years working for the Nixon Administration.
He would also spend nine years in a relationship with Stanley Pottinger, the former Deputy Attorney General of the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice, who insisted that he had without evidence of the FBI's participation in the murder of Martin Luther King, Jr..
When Steinem founded Ms. Magazine in 1971, she chose Elizabeth Forsling Harris, a public relations executive who helped with advance work for John F. KennedyThe 1963 trip to Dallas, Texas, as co-founder and editor.
An examination of the effects and purpose of his work in the late 1960s and early 1970s gives the clear impression that Steinem's association with the CIA may not have ended, rather than playing a role in known attempts of the agency to undermine national civil rights groups during this period. .
II. The white of black America and civil rights
The initial rapid success of the civil rights movement, and the promise it held to effectively disrupt the power structures in the United States at the height of the Cold War, made it an obvious target for intelligence groups, both within of the United States as well as abroad.
Actions taken against the black community during these years included addressing civil rights leaders, drafting and deploying black men to fight in foreign conflicts and destroy black society by targeting the family unit and promoting gender conflict.
A. Addressing black leaders
Black leaders had been targeted by intelligence and government agencies well before the 1960s, but it was the 1960s that were marked by a series of targeted killings. Two of the best known of this period are probably Malcolm x Y Martin Luther King son.
Although Malcolm X, a black nationalist, spent most of his career in opposition to MLK's nonviolent civil rights approach, his opinions changed only a year before his death.
In May 1964, Malcolm was cited in the New York Times stating that his prospects for whites had changed and that he would work with younger generations to combat racism. He was murdered in February 1965.
As one of the most emblematic leaders of the Civil Rights Movement, Martin Luther King Jr. was undoubtedly a high priority objective. Although Dr. King issued a series of socialist critiques of capitalism during his life, he was a fervent opposed to communism.
In fact, it was this opposition that made him the only high-profile American to be attacked by intelligence agencies both in the United States and in the Soviet Union.
The KGB of the Soviet Union opposed Dr. King because of his unwillingness to allow communist sympathizers to encourage bad race relations. His death occurred several years after Malcolm X in 1968.
Did you know the government of the United States was found guilty in court for the murder of Martin Luther King Jr.? He was never informed by the mainstream media.

The elimination of leadership figures such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X was essential to put aside people who might have a more nationalist mentality or to support US socialists on extremism supported by foreigners with the intention of deteriorating the situation of Civil Rights.B. Altering the black society
The selective assassinations of leaders' figures coincided with the Vietnam War, which led to a disproportionate number of black men being recruited or deployed in the war zone.
Oxford's companion to American military history They claimed that although blacks represented 11% of the US population. UU from 1965 to 1969, they constituted 12.6% of the soldiers in Vietnam. Most of these served in the infantry where they suffered casualty rates of 14.9%.
It was these statistics that caused Martin Luther King Jr. and other Civil Rights leaders to denounce Vietnam as "a white men's war, a black men's struggle" where black men were much more likely to see combat. The deployment of males in a war zone also had the effect of disrupting society in a manner similar to World War II.
C. Consolidation of the CIA's domestic intelligence programs under the CHAOS operation
The Central Intelligence Agency has a long history of interference in foreign policy. However, their domestic operations have received considerably less attention in recent years.
In the late 1960s, the CIA began to centralize its various domestic operations into a single program known as Operation CHAOS. Officially started in 1967, all the existing national programs of the CIA were consolidated under CHAOS after Richard Nixon He assumed the presidency in January 1969.
Operation CHAOS served as a means for the CIA to infiltrate and spy on groups and individuals who felt they were behaving in a way that was "illegal and subversive."
The organizations targeted by the CIA included student organizations of socialist tendency, the Black Panther Party and Walls Magazine, the publication that exposed for the first time the relationship of Gloria Steinem with the CIA.
On April 4, 1969, Steinem published his "historical" piece, "After Black Power, Women's Liberation", in New York Magazine. The main focus of the article was to encourage women to break with the civil rights movement and "begin to focus on their own problems".
With civil rights leadership weakened by selective killing and men of fighting age sent to a foreign combat theater, his writings served to perpetuate these problems by provoking a gender conflict within the civil rights movement.
"After Black Power, Women's Liberation" contrasted completely with the previous philosophies that supported social models, which Steinem attacked as "patriarchal". Leadership like Dr. King preached that the cornerstone of building a strong black American community was the nuclear family. .
In 1966, the king gave a speaks where he claimed that the "very survival of American blacks was linked" to their ability to create and foster strong families.
"The whole society," King said, "is based on this foundation for stability, understanding and social peace."
With figures like King out of the way in 1969, there was a clear opportunity to attack what he had seen as a cornerstone of black society in America: healthy and harmonious families. The spark ignited by Steinem's article would inoculate the Civil Rights Movement with a new variety of Feminism that spreads like a pathogen..
Here it is How the Rockefellers re-directed women and why
III. Exhibition of the CHAOS and Coverup operation
The years after 1969 were marked by turbulence and increased inter-agency disputes. While the FBI provided intelligence to the CIA for the CHAOS of Operations, they refused to provide any context or analysis due to the perception that this would violate their status.
It is possible that this tension contributed to the outbreak of the Watergate scandal in 1972, where a active asset of the CIA was arrested while bothering the headquarters of the DNC and a senior FBI official He provided information exposing the scandal to the Washington Post.
With the increasing public scrutiny of covert domestic programs, Operation CHAOS was officially closed in 1973. In 1974, journalist Seymour Hersh exhibited the program with a research article published in the New York Times.
The exhibition caused enough public outrage for the establishment of committees in the House of Representatives and the Senate, as well as the Rockefeller Commission, headed Vice President Nelson A. Rockefeller.
These investigations were marked by attempts by Ford Administration officials to prevent Congressional committees from accessing information and meeting with officials and focusing on controls that are easier to control. Rockefeller Commission.
The purpose of the Commission was not to reveal irregularities on the part of the intelligence agencies of the United States, but to mitigate the damages caused by leaks. Famous revelations such as the revelation of MKULTRA Project they were in fact "safe" because the CIA officials Considered these programs as failures.
It is already public knowledge that certain information, including the disclosure of information The participation of the CIA in the assassination plans. It was eliminated from the final report by the Commission.
The participation of Nelson Rockefeller, whose family was involved with the government asks for control of the population and financed Eugenics programs affiliated with the Nazis. which one They kept files on millions of Americans. marked for genetic elimination was especially inappropriate and showed the widespread interest of special interests in joining the Rockefeller Commission for their own private purposes.
IV. Post-rockefeller commission
Focusing on black communities continued long after the 1960s. When the disclosure of Experimentation with biological weapons from the United States about American populations began in the tragedies of the 1970s, like the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiments showed that black Americans were specifically directed for various biological weapons programs conducted by various government agencies.
Much of the information surrounding these programs continues to be classified, "destroyed" or otherwise maintained from the public sphere. It is impossible to know the full scope of these programs that used US citizens as guinea pigs for experiments in biological warfare and methods of population control.
Reporters who exposed to other CIA targets in African-American communities were selected for discrediting and killing characters. Gary webb'S Dark Alliance series published with The mercury news claimed the Participation of the CIA in cocaine crack traffic. that was distributed rampantly in the black communities and resulted in disproportionate sentence of American blacks.
The high incarceration rates that resulted from these policies further contributed to the fragmentation of the black American family unit. Webb was attacked for almost All the main media for their revelations. and was finally found Dead with two shots to the head..
The combined effect of legal, biological and sociological attacks on the black community has prevented them from realizing Martin Luther King Jr.'s vision of a black American society built on the foundation of stable family units.
In 1960, two-thirds Of the black children who lived with two parents, today that number has been reduced to one third. More than 73% of black children are born out of wedlock according to data published by Center for Disease Control in 2012 (a dramatic increase in 11% in 1938).
These statistics are part of a general decline in Fertility and birth rates That have continued uninterrupted until our days. This trend is alarming, given that social Sciences It has been observed since the 1960s that the breakdown of the family unit was not due to economic factors.
The obstacles created by the intelligence community and the new social theories degraded the ability of black families to preserve their cohesive structure, exposing the generations to the struggles of individual paternity and continued poverty.
Despite these factors that alter the family structure and make life difficult for black women, Gloria Steinem, in 2015, told the Huffington Post who attributed to black women the "beginning of the feminist movement" that helped to promote and spread in the 60s and 70s.
She has remained active in several social justice movements. In January 2017, he was a speaker at the March of women Protests in Washington DC.
It seems that Operation CHAOS may have remained in the past 1973 in spirit, if not in name. Certain members of the Reagan administration will eventually attempt to allow the CIA to resume domestic operations in the 1980s.
The proposal received strong criticism in the New York Times. In 2015, reports It began to emerge highlighting claims that an activist crossing the Canadian border was "randomly selected" for a search as part of a program called "Operation Chaos."
