“COINTELPRO – The FBI's War on Black Liberation”

In this gripping episode of The Forbidden Frequency, host Brian Anderson uncovers one of the darkest and most under-explored chapters in American history—COINTELPRO, the FBI’s secret domestic surveillance program. From its Cold War origins to its devastating impact on Black liberation movements, civil rights leaders, and grassroots organizers, COINTELPRO represents the covert war waged against dissent in the name of national security. Through compelling storytelling and deep research, this episode exposes how the FBI infiltrated, sabotaged, and, in some cases, helped orchestrate the downfall—or death—of powerful Black voices like Fred Hampton, Martin Luther King Jr., and Malcolm X. Learn how fear, disinformation, and state violence were wielded against communities fighting for justice—and how the echoes of this program still shape modern surveillance and protest today. If you've ever wondered why certain movements struggle to survive—or why some leaders are taken from us too soon—this is the episode you can’t afford to miss. 🎙️ The Forbidden Frequency: Where hidden histories are heard.
