FBI docs leaked to me reveal that in 2018, the Bureau targeted "Black Identity Extremists" under a program codenamed "IRON FIST", planning to use undercover agents to infiltrate the group which it considered a top counterterrorism priority.

For @tyt: tyt.com/stories/4vZLCH…
The documents also show that the FBI believed national white supremacy extremist (WSE) group membership would decline
tyt.com/stories/4vZLCH…
The FBI told @CoryBooker & other Senate Dems that it dropped the “Black Identity Extremist” term, but the docs show the new term “RMVE” still includes black extremists which they prioritize above terror groups like Al-Qaeda, per FBI’s new 2020 priorities

Someone who was in Rep. Steve King’s office recently noticed a small plastic fetus behind his family photos and thought it was so bizarre they took a pic and sent it to me.

(I assume the fetus is some kind of anti-abortion thing.)
On Steve King’s desk is a memo with a name at the top: Thomas Binion, who for years worked as one of King’s staffers before becoming a registered lobbyist for the Heritage Foundation.

This is the definition of “revolving door” lol

ICE’s Acting Director complained, “It is unfortunate that our honorable law enforcement agency is subject to such protests,” per internal ICE memo I obtained.

Memo also says ICE went into lockdown during Tuesday’s protest.

The leaks will continue until FOIA improves, @ICEgov
ICE also hilarious called the protest “unanticipated” — it was all over social media!

Under oath before Congress last month, FBI Director Wray testified two weeks ago that white supremacists were the biggest domestic terror threat - not this fabricated “black identity extremists” myth. We want answers from Wray on this. newsweek.com/fbi-leak-black…
This has all the earmarks of a deliberate effort to justify a false “both sides” narrative, w/the added benefit of justifying the surveillance Black activists. The FBI’s shameful history on the latter warrants an immediate oversight review of the program by the Judiciary Cmtees.
Wray must reconcile this initiative with his testimony & this report:

A little over two months ago @RepPressley asked a pointed question about whether the FBI used and investigated so-called "Black Identity Extremists." The response, "I've been in this job 17-months, and we don't have that designation." Today, @TheYoungTurks proved that wrong... /1
@TheYoungTurks revealed leaked FBI documents which show that "Black Identity Extremism" was not only a designation in use as late as 2018, but that a heretofore unknown FBI program—"IRON FIST"—was targeted at gathering intelligence on such groups /2 tyt.com/stories/4vZLCH…
The documents, available here, also make clear that the FBI is still pursuing the same goals. McGarrity is technically correct, though misleading—"Black Identity Extremism" is now referred to as "Black Racially Motivated Extremism." /3 scribd.com/document/42116…

47) It's clear that under Chris Wray, the FBI has adopted a philosophy of investigating violence, almost irrespective of motivating factors.

Yet the Yahoo article claims that the FBI has taken exactly the opposite philosophy.
48) There are many reasons why I'm questioning the authenticity of the Yahoo article and the FBI bulletin. The first is that seems to contradict current Bureau Philosophy.
49) The second reason I question the FBI bulletin's authenticity is that the document (unlike the bulletin about Black Identity Extremism) was not sourced to a government website but a private Scribed account.

There is currently no way to verify the document's authenticity.

1.) How The #FBI Invaded #MartinLutherKing Jr's Privacy & Tried To Blackmail Him Into Suicide

The political intelligence program known as #COINTELPRO was used by FBI director J. Edgar Hoover to target civil rights leader, Martin Luther King, Jr.
m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_46…
2.) This same type of program is still being used today & uses the same Communist Russia fearmongering tactics to justify spying on political opponents in the @BarackObama scandal against @realDonaldTrump called #SpyGate!
Take a peek in the FBI vault 👇🏼
vault.fbi.gov/cointel-pro
3.) The FBI literally tracked #MartinLutherKing 's every move he made!

This was one of the most disgusting things the FBI could have ever done!

In 1940, President Roosevelt gave #FBI undercover agents authorization to gather intelligence about Nazi threats in western hemisphere. Over 7 years, 340 personnel made up the Special Intelligence Service. #FBI110 fbi.gov/history/brief-…
In 1941, the current #FBI seal came into limited use. The prior seal was the DOJ seal w/ extra band for FBI & the motto, “Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity.” Special Agent Leo Gauthier created a new design, which has been the symbol ever since. #FBI110 fbi.gov/history/seal-m…
Each symbol & color in the #FBI seal has special significance. The blue represents justice. The circle of 13 stars denotes unity of purpose as exemplified by the original 13 states. The laurel leaf symbolizes academic honors, distinction & fame. #FBI110
