Malcolm X family unveils letter alleging NYPD, FBI assassination link

Some speculation about the FBI possible role. And there were questions (remember this is a long time ago) that Malcolm was going to speak to the United Nations about America’s treatment of Black Americans. A long time ago...memories.

Too many atrocities that have gone unpunished.
By the way, Judas and The Black Messiah, is a must watch movie.
It tackles this very topic- in regards to Fred Hampton's murder.

The difficult part is determining which ones, or which parts (sometimes there's a kernel of truth but way exaggerated).

Certainly this passes the smell test for me ... not that it smells pretty, of course, but that it is in accord with what we know about the FBI and other law enforcement, and particularly in that historical period.

J. Edgar was a monster.

And I wouldn't be surprised if NYPD and FBI were accomplices.
I lived through the 60's and still do not trust the FBI all that much and how many are oath keepers or what not.

Past behavior is often a good predictor of future behavior.

intentionally, just to make it harder to distinguish between the real ones and the fake ones. So they all can be labelled as "conspiricy theories".

The actual truth is sometime difficult to pinpoint.

that proves it did happen it will remain yet another theory.

See I was 12 yrs old then, and lived in NYC as I still do.
Since Malcolm X lived in (I believe in Queens) NYC his
comments, comings, and goings were local news as well.

It seems that (and I never asked her which station) my mom would sometimes hear him giving speeches on the radio. Local low powered radio? We didn't have
all-news stations until several years later. Whether she was just hearing snippets from a news report or full speech I don't know for sure. I remember her saying to me something like ...'I don't know why, or if he hates all white people because he speaks so beautifully about his own people'. I'm thinking maaaybe this was before he traveled to Mecca. It also sounds like from what she was describing that it may have been more than just a typical especially back then white radio station because of what they covered (positive comments about black people). I remember somewhat about him returning from Mecca, and what he said.

The kicker is back then in our second family apartment - we lived about 9 blocks north of The Audoban Ballroom (and previously my first family apt 7 blocks south west of it). Part of my 2 neighborhoods so to speak. While I don't live there now there's a few buses that pass by it that in my normal travels (pre-covid) I still past it from time to time.

My mom was shocked, and saddened when we heard the news about his assassination. An untypical response from a white person. I took my cues from her.

Back to our present - I'm not surprised of NYPD, FBI possible, probable involvement. Especially thinking how "Jedger" treated a man like Dr King, let alone the general, and perceived contrast between MLK, and Malcolm X.

then how about JFK, MLK, and RFK?

I finally got chance to see the film "Judas and the Black Messiah" about what lead up to the assassination of Chicago Black Panther Chapter head Fred Hampton, including use of an in embedded informant and DOJ's (the FBI's) significant role in ordering it (Hoover).



Imagine Martin Sheen as Hoover. Took me awhile to figure out who was playing that character early on in the film.

fifteen seconds after they had already decided what happened. History is a set of lies agreed upon.

Rename the J Edgar Hoover building something else.
