organizations. Its violent assaults and smart manipulation in a long run helped to .
capture dangerous activists, substitute armed actions and make its victims blame .
themselves and each other for the problems it created. The FBI and police were .
able to severely weaken the domestic political opposition without making the .
people think that they live in a democracy, with free speech and the rule of law.
Judging from the information revealed to the media Cointelpro was .
officially abolished. But after a certain period of time, some actions began to .
reappear. But all of this and maybe more occurred in an era of reform, so since .

Another "Party" that struggled through the 60's was the Black Panther .
Party. It started out in the summer of 1968, when the David Brothers established .
a Black Panter Party (BPP) branch in Brooklyn, NY. A lot of people especially .
the youth were attracted by it. .
The main goal was the national liberation of African people in the United .
States and it restricted its membership to Blacks only. But as it provided Africans .
in the US with a broader understanding of Black and White relationships, they .
wanted to prove their point. Overall They wanted to make themselves .
acceptable to White society, prove to whites that They are human, prove that .
They were equal to Whites, disprove racist ideas held by Whites, struggle for .
integration of equal status with Whites and wanted to pose the theories of "loving .
the enemy", "hating the enemy", "they are all devils" etc. Another thing that .
attracted members and massive support to the BPP was its policy of "serving to .
people". They organized community programs ranging from free breakfast for .
children, to free health clinics, to free clothing drives, established all kinds of .
campaigns for community control of school, police, to stop drugs, crime and .
police murder and brutality in most of the Black neighborhoods across America.
