White Money in Black Movements (WMBM): How The Ford Foundation United With US Intelligence To Destroy Black Militancy

Part 1: Foundations of US Intelligence's Infiltration of Black Movements

-

In episode 113 and part 1 of our new series, the trio dissect the early history of the FBI & US Army intelligence's infiltration of Black movements and communities. The threat of "Negro Uprisings" and Black militancy in the early 20th century led white racists in power to surveil and disrupt anything that sniffed of militant Black nationalism. This history sets up future episodes where the ties between the Ford Foundation and US intelligence will be explored further. Peace!

In part 2 of our 'What Would Malcolm Do?' series, we examine his anti-zionist writings and other sources in the archive of his visits abroad to places such as Gaza. We also discuss the cultural aspects of neocolonial warfare in reference to not only Malcolm X, but also Robert F. Williams and Frantz Fanon.

In this episode we analyze the Black nationalist politics of Malcolm X & the Organization of Afro-American Unity (OAAU) through a close look at their official aims and objectives. This will be the first in a series of episodes which examine Malcolm X's politics.

This week’s episode focuses on the Zionist war on Iran, a brief history of the Iranian revolution, and lastly we’ll take up the question “Is it our fight?” in reference to Black solidarity with global and domestic conflicts.

In episode 109, the FTT crew takes a critical look at Burkina Faso's revolution amid claims that it isn't "real" by US military generals & Black 'radicals' alike.

FTT reviews "Sinners", the hit Black vampire movie from Ryan Coogler. Our review includes an analysis of the film's three acts, its depiction of race and community, and the curious Zionist politics of one of the films stars Hailee Steinfeld.

In episode 106, the trio ask the question, 'do Black Marxists still believe that Black America is an internal colony within the US?'--a prominent scholar named Keeanga Yamahtta-Taylor says we are not. Also, this episode looks at the recent lynching of Trumaine White in a Mississippi jail and the failures of the Black Lives Matter movement to answer the call. Finally, we promote the upcoming National Black Radical Organizing Conference in Indianapolis, IN at the end of May.

Slank, Sunny, and Ahki discuss the potential for the Sahel region of Africa to be a front in the potentially upcoming WWIII conflict; they also discuss newly released Nation Time Vol. 3 project by Slank & Sunny out now on all platforms!
