“They're Launching A New COINTELPRO For The 21st Century”

by Caitlin Johnstone in Caitlin’s Newsletter on Substack

@uk_politics

“Between 1956 and 1971, the FBI conducted covert operations under COINTELPRO to infiltrate and subvert Black civil rights groups, the Communist Party USA, Vietnam War protester organizations, and feminist groups with the goal of stomping out all meaningful leftward political movement in the United States. The feds never fully stopped running such programs of course — groups like Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter were known to have been targeted by police surveillance and infiltration. But it’s clear the rightists in the White House are aiming for something far more aggressive, and FBI Director Kash Patel sounds super stoked about the chance to become a 21st century J Edgar Hoover”

Kash #Patel Continues To Draw Heat For His Exorbitant Spending Habits - https://www.techdirt.com/2026/07/15/kash-patel-continues-to-draw-heat-for-his-exorbitant-spending-habits/ "He wants backstage access, bottle service, a jet-setting lifestyle, and absolute loyalty. And, like Trump, for everyone to just shut up about it."

@ProPublica_rss

When the boss is corrupt, his workers also think there is nothing wrong with corruption.

No wonder the FCC approved the Paramount-SkyDance merger.

I expect that if the FBI were to investigate this, much more would come up than just these 'perks'.

But why would the FBI investigate? According to Patel, there will be nothing to see here.

I shudder to think what would be happening if Trump had appointed smarter and more competent people. The gaffs this group are producing are mind blowing.

Kash Patel was given a "VIP Snorkel" on the US Arizona in Honolulu.

Sen(VA) Mark Warner who fancies himself a stalwart military supporter put out a statement decrying....Patel using taxpayer money. Literally a passing mention to the moral bankruptcy.

Dem Pollsters continue to lead weak willed pols to disaster.

Watching this clip closer, it's *dozens* of badly spliced takes...as if he can't even make his statement without practice.

The DC-based art collective, The Secret Handshake is responsible for some of the funniest statues temporarily erected in DC. But this week, they put three game cabinets up on the mall, with the game Operation Epic Furious: Strait to Hell.

The game itself is an awesome homage to old RPGs, while also being a scathing indictment of everything this administration is.

And if there’s one thing fascists cannot abide, it is when we laugh at them.

Couldn’t get to DC before trumps goons made it disappear? I gotchu.

Kash Patel, Pete Hegseth, Jeanine Pirro.

For a guy who doesn’t drink, Trump certainly likes to surround himself with those who do.

#JEdgarBoozer #Patel... the former Podcaster turned #FBI Director... was quite open about his drinking before #DisasterDon was elected to a second term, and now denies all the reports about his excessive drinking are true.

But an EVEN MORE disturbing report about #MafiaDon's FBI (if that's even possible) is that they have assembled a #PaybackSquad to go after his political enemies. 😒

I keep thinking back to how aghast people were during #Watergate to find out Nixon had an "enemies list".

Timothy Snyder: "Empires have risen and failed before, but to my knowledge no state has ever chosen to kill its own power, and succeeded with such rapidity.

To see where we are, we must understand that people such as Tulsi #Gabbard, Kash #Patel, and Pete #Hegseth, had no business accepting their nominations, since they lack any qualifications. The fact that such people could be considered, let alone appointed, is a marker of superpower suicide."

ATTN: Mother’s Day has been cancelled due to the anti-woman policies of Trump, the MAGA Republicans and the Supreme Court. And due to the officials taking the pro-rape stance by protecting those named in the #epsteinFiles

Thank you for your patience.

Kash #Patel Using #FBI Resources in Pursuit of $250 Million Personal Payoff - https://emptywheel.net/2026/05/06/kash-patel-using-fbi-resources-in-pursuit-of-250-million-personal-payoff/ "It’s a clearcut (mis)use of government resources to pursue personal gain."

#OMFG 😵

Who TF is paying for #Patel to have these *personalized* bottles of bourbon made???

WH claims Patel pays for every bottle himself. But for how much? How much do you think a custom exclusive monogrammed bottle of booze would cost you?

Anyone think he's paying full price?

#DrainTheSwamp?

Siuzdak, whose career spanned more than 20 years in the FBI as well as time in the military, has given unusual advice to current FBI employees who seek his counsel: “I tell people to run from him.”

#fbi #disgrace #patel #atlantic

J. Edgar Boozer (Krash Patel) continues to disgrace the FBI. Pictured here is a bottle of bourbon labeled with the FBI insignia and the name Ka$h Patel.

Patel has also given away personally signed bottles.

Kash #Patel has given out bottles of a personalized whiskey to FBI staff as well as civilians he encounters in his duties, according to eight people, including current and former FBI and Department of Justice employees and others who are familiar.

When I reached a former longtime senior FBI official to ask whether he’d ever seen personally branded liquor bottles distributed by a previous FBI director, he burst out laughing.
