What Malcolm X's Death Says About Extremism

Malcolm X was murdered 50 years ago this week:

[What was] the direct or indirect responsibility of the United States government in Malcolm X’s death [?] It is known that US government agencies, that is, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) within the United States, and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), which took over during Malcolm’s international travels, had stepped up their illegal surveillance, harassment, and hounding of Malcolm X after his departure from the NOI. Federal and local cops and spooks had Malcolm X under constant surveillance. The New York Police Department (NYPD) knew two weeks in advance that Malcolm X was being targeted for assassination. NYPD had at least one undercover agent in the OAAU and had a wiretap on Malcolm X’s phone. Yet no police were in sight at the Audubon Ballroom when he was murdered right in the open. It is also know that part of the FBI’s COINTELPRO operation directed against Malcolm X included exploiting and instigating person venom against Malcolm by his former associates and manipulating the atmosphere of hostility and provocation.

Does that remind you of the FBI's propensity for disconnecting other dots? You can add to the following list the Boston Marathon bombing, allegedly by two individuals well known to the FBI:

Dick Gregory claims the CIA killed Malcolm X, shooting at him from an elevated position above the seated crowd. This suggests that the 3 suspects generally thought to have killed him were a red herring. This too would be consistent with how America kills its victims (Oswald didn't kill JFK, Sirhan didn't kill RFK, Ray didn't kill MLK, etc.).

Here is something interesting which Malcolm said one month before his murder:

I believe that there will be ultimately be a clash between the oppressed and those who do the oppressing. I believe that there will be a clash between those who want freedom, justice and equality for everyone and those who want to continue the system of exploitation. I believe that there will be that kind of clash, but I don’t think it will be based on the color of the skin …

And it won't be based on religion, either, although like the American Revolution the uprising may draw its strength for its member's religious beliefs.

Malcolm was killed not because he was a "violent extremist" [which is something he was not] but because he preached that people really do have the rights enumerated in the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution, and sought to assert those rights - rights that US oligarchs, bankgangsters, corporations, and their collaborators in the one percent have no intention of letting anyone other than themselves exercise.

And anyone else who tries to assert such rights is likely to be killed by the very same thugs.

I never met you, Malcolm, but I wish I had.
