This Day in History

Today is the 43rd anniversary of the assassination of Malcolm X. He was murdered, not by members of the Nation of Islam, but by the FBI with the help of the NYPD. I've always thrown this question to those who are naive enough to believe that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad ordered the killing of Malcolm X: If he did orchestrate the murder of Malcolm X, why didn't the authorities charge the Honorable Elijah Muhammad with conspiracy? When a crime like this is committed, don't the authorities charge the conspirator, the mastermind of the crime?

However, two innocent men were charged and spent over two decades in prison for Malcolm's murder. Were there members of the Nation of Islam that wanted Malcolm dead? Sure there were, but the Honorable Elijah Muhammad told all members to leave Malcolm alone. When Malcolm was poisoned in Cairo, Egypt and he had to get his stomach pumped, he knew that it was not members of the Nation of Islam out to get him.

Review of the the COINTELPRO documents show that the Gay Edgar Hoover had FBI agents infiltrate every black organization to disrupt, discredit and prevent the rise of a Black messiah. The FBI had resorted to techniques like character assassination, frame-ups, planting agents/provocateurs in various groups to spread rumors that would cause divisions among members in the ranks. This tactic of COINTELPRO not only destroyed groups and organizations, but families and bonds of friendship as well. This was a very calculated program.

With this history well known to us today, why in hell would we want to demand justice from the same people who not only created this system, but continues the status quo to this very day? Let's remember Malcolm X for his greatness and fiery leadership? Malcolm X was a true fighter in the struggle of Black America.

It is imperative that we study the history of how this Caucasian devil created an atmosphere of anger and bitterness, which lead to the assassination of Malcolm X. Although disagreements came in between Malcolm X and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, that atmosphere of tension was exploited by the government and that unfortunately, lead to the enemy murdering Malcolm. How many times have the FBI sent in agents/provocateurs to join an organization set up crimes to be committed under the banner of the that organization and frame innocent people in the process? That is nothing new. To this very day, we have political prisoners sitting in prisons throughout the hells of North America because of FBI frame-ups or calumnies committed by the state.

Another thing that we must understand is that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad instructed all members of the Nation of Islam not carry weapons or keep them in our homes. Think back to what happened to the Black Panthers and the night murder raids the police would commit in the name of weapons being on the premises. Mark Clark and Fred Hampton were murdered in Chicago. Similar attacks were done by police in Seattle and Oakland. Of course, in the case of Fred Hampton, he was drugged by an FBI/police informant. The Messenger has always told members of the Nation of Islam not to carry any weapons and that Allah will protect us.

I stongly disagree with those who say Malcolm X was murdered by the Nation of Islam. He was murdered by FBI agent/provocateurs who joined the ranks of the Nation so that the crime could be pinned on the Muslims. Instead of the fingerpointing and bickering, we need to take this as a history lesson and stop the goddamn killing that is plaguing the Black community today.

Black America has an even bigger problem and whitey has the machinery of death and genocide in place for our people. It's time for unity amongst ourselves and building a viable future for generations to come. The white man is evil and that is a reality that the rest of you have to deal with. They are the devil by nature. More on this coming soon.

Until next time, this is Aquil Aziz.
