Ms. Horne ( Government ) ( ID)

In Ms. Horne's class we are doing a project on the cointelpro and how government allowed the rights of citizens to be violated and neglected. I made my connection with Doruba ( Robert Moore ) . Who was accused with the murder of two police officers with no proper accusation . They just framed him and had him spend 19 years in prison. He was later on found not guilty and released. The cointelpro is basically a legalized spying method brought into light by J Edgar Hoover  he was a cop and against the activist movements such as the black panthers and other activist parties so he brought up the plan of having each committee go against each other so that they can tell on each other. Because he was clever enough to think thoroughly that the only way to destroy a society is  by having them destroy themselves. His theory was very affective he was able to clash all different types of groups and organizations legally because the government supported him and other followers one hundred percent The cointelpro was a very terrible thing because it allowed false accusations to be made and people were being spied on with everything they do in there day day life. I think this is a despicable act and it supposedly stopped but , in my perspective it still continues on until today .
