LOTS of People Talked… Another Confession in the Malcolm X Assassination

Someone would have talked. That’s the line that lone gunman true believers always use to win arguments. But as it turns out, LOTS of people have talked over the years. The latest revelation about the Malcolm X assassination just reinforces what many of us have long been saying — to massive ridicule from the power elite and its talking heads. The most promising leaders of major change in American society in the 1960s — including the Kennedy brothers, Martin Luther King Jr., Fred Hampton and yes, Malcolm — were forcibly eliminated by national security and police agencies. Now ABC News reveals a deathbed confession by a former New York Police Department undercover officer named Ray Wood, implicating both the security unit of the NYPD and the FBI in the February 1965 assassination of Malcolm X. You can read more about it here.

As time goes by, the evidence mounts that during the 1960s, the national security establishment — under the direction of ruthless men like the CIA’s Allen Dulles and the FBI’s J. Edgar Hoover — was a violent, repressive force, systematically killing or jailing any leader viewed as threatening to powerful corporate and political interests. This harsh reality about American public life has been widely accepted over the years, with recent movies like One Night in Miami and Judas and the Black Messiah matter-of-factly depicting the dark machinations of police and federal agencies against Malcolm X and Fred Hampton.

And yet the corporate media still widely dismisses any books or articles about national security assassinations of the Kennedy brothers or Black leaders as wacky conspiracy theories, lumping this growing and compelling historical truth with crackpot QAnon ideas and other crazy conjecture. The long, disgraceful campaign to smear “grassy knoll” researchers as “tinfoil hat types” has been carried out by lazy and uninformed — or worse, compromised — journalists. And the main beneficiaries of this propaganda are the very agencies that carried out the assassinations.

But smart, brave authors and filmmakers know the truth — and so do millions of Americans. When will the corporate media finally begin tying together the bullet holes?
