“After years spent trying to deal with the effects of COINTELPRO, my rage at the FBI's almost unimaginable evil remains undiminished because I believe that it succeeded in many of its horrifying goals, given the deaths of Martin King, Malcolm X, and other sixties leaders.

Justice is achieved only when injustice is absent.”
“There is only one smartest dog in the world, and every boy has it.”
