I'm David Knight for InfoWars Nightly News.
It's October 26, 2012, and here are our top stories.
Tonight, on the InfoWars Nightly News, the Frankenstorm is near.
Is it the work of mad harp scientists?
Then, police tase a teen in diabetic shock, and GMO disinformation eats away at Proposition 37.
All that, in Larry Pinckney.
This fall's fate, fraudulent.
Left-right paradigm is nothing but a trap!
It's a trap!
Particularly as embodied by the Democrat and Republican parties.
It's like, please, wake up people!
This is the same game.
Coming up on the InfoWars Nightly News.
Our job here at InfoWars is kind of like that of a meteorologist.
We warn you when conditions are dangerous.
Right now, NOAA is warning us about a frankenstorm.
Not that NOAA, but the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Forecaster Jim Sisko has predicted a week-long, five- or six-day event.
An unusual mix of hurricane and winter storms, and it appears that it may have a profound effect on the presidential election.
Not just on people's ability to vote, but on election news coverage as well.
So the question is, is this a geoengineering October surprise?
Weather modification is a known fact and has been a subject of research for decades, but the question is whether weather control is now possible.
Certainly governments believed it was not only possible, but it was imminent when they signed a UN agreement back in 1976.
And two years ago, Andrei Erichev of the Strategic Culture Foundation wrote that the climate weapons may be reaching their target capacity.
He wrote about HAARP, but he was also alleged that the Pentagon's secret spaceship, the X-37B, carried laser weaponry that could be a key component in the Pentagon's climate change arsenal.
And today, Popular Science reported on the work of Jerome Kasparian, a French physicist at the University of Geneva, who's been able to create rain using lasers in a cloud chamber.
We have some video of that.
It's subtitled because the video is... Kasparian is French.
The work is done in Geneva, Switzerland.
But what he demonstrates here is, in a cloud chamber, it's possible to get much more precise control of rain creation than it is with cloud seeding.
So although governments have agreed not to use weather as a weapon, and they've been working on it for over 40 years, I'm sure that the timing of the storm is just a coincidence.
But if you want to keep up on this, we'll be having updates throughout the weekend on InfoWars.com.
We have several stories there right now, and they'll be updated as situations change.
Now if you recall last November, an Austin man ...who was having a seizure was tasered by police that caused him to have permanent brain damage as well as a heart attack.
This week, a Dallas-Fort Worth teenager was tasered by police.
The incident was caught on tape and the problem was after a car accident, the 19-year-old had a hypoglycemic incident.
He was unable to respond to the policeman.
But the policeman was not happy with that.
He said, uh, do you understand that I'm talking to you in the video?
He says, answer my question, what's the matter with you?
Step out of the vehicle, sir.
Provide me with your driver's license and insurance, or I will taser you.
Here's the video, actually taken by the CBS affiliate.
Hey!
Do you understand what I'm talking to you?
Answer my question.
What's the matter with you?
Step out of the vehicle, sir.
Provided your driver's license, your insurance, and step out of the vehicle, I will pay you.
23 seconds later, he does.
Firing at the teenager once in the car, and once on the ground.
Emergency crews arrive.
The officer finds out what was wrong.
I didn't know we was freaking out.
Well, Murad actually has settled with the city for $5,000.
That's the city of Claiborne.
And for an agreement that police officers will be better trained in the future.
But what if, instead of just training police officers, we took away the tasers that they use as electronic whips?
Now in another inappropriate use of police force, police arrested a 60-year-old woman speaking at a city council meeting.
In Riverside City Council in California, Karen Wright, 60, was initially handcuffed by two officers while she was on her knees.
In the video of the incident, she can be heard yelling in pain as officers tried to raise her to her feet while she was handcuffed.
And we have an excerpt from that video here as well.
This is video from the Riverside Press-Enterprise.
Karen Wright exceeded her three-minute limit to speak to the City Council Tuesday night.
Right after that, she was arrested and taken out of City Hall chambers.
right was given a misdemeanor citation riverside mayor ron leverage said he's never seen somebody arrested for exceeding the three-minute limit he's been presiding over city council for thirty two years was the police use more more force with less and less provocation an appellate court has just appellate ban on selling guns to twenty one-year-olds but this goes back to a nineteen sixty eight law that was challenged by the n_r_a_
And in it, a unanimous three-judge panel said that Congress, in a law dating from 1968, adopted the sales ban to help curb violent crime.
It also said the nation's founders and 19th century courts and commentators believe that disarming specific groups did not trample on the right to bear arms.
Well, there's several problems with leaving our rights to be determined by panels of judges.
That's one of the reasons we have jury nullification.
What really is going to happen in this country, if we're ever going to see our rights restored, is going to happen through the work of individual juries who are going to, one by one, judge the law as well as the facts of the case.
But these judges said that the founders of the country did not have problems withholding gun rights to certain individuals.
Oh, that's clearly not the case.
What they said was people who did not have guns were slaves.
And the one time in the 19th century that they're referring to, the laws that they're referring to banning gun ownership by specific groups, Those were laws against blacks owning guns.
Do we really want to reenact that?
I don't think so.
People who are 21 years old, well people who are 19 and 20, who under this law are not allowed to purchase guns, are people who are allowed and encouraged and trained to go to other countries and kill people as part of the military.
The judges said that a rigorous review was appropriate because the law did not prevent 18 to 20 year olds from using handguns for self-defense or other lawful purposes And that people subjected to the ban, that is 18, 19 and 20-year-olds, would eventually surmount it by turning 21.
Well, that's if they survive to 21.
Well, if you caught the Wednesday radio program, you heard Alex Jones interview Bev Harris of blackboxvoting.org.
Now, Bev Harris is an expert at election fraud and ways to catch it, many ways to cheat.
They discussed it in terms of the presidential election.
Mike Adams asks a question in his article, are biotech GMO corporations plotting to steal the election on Prop 37?
He points out that stealing elections is only really possible in close elections, and that's exactly what we've got with Prop 37 right now.
It's very close in the polls.
But he also points out that the No on 37 campaign has already been caught violating federal election law by fabricating fictitious FDA quotes.
Ethan Hunt, in another article, called Lonsanto-funded No on 37 campaign fabricates FDA quotes and engages in criminal misconduct, points out, according to the California Right to Know campaign, which is working towards mandatory GMO labeling in the Golden State of California, No on 37 deliberately fabricated a quote insinuating that the FDA opposes GMO labeling.
The quote, which bears the official FDA logo, says, The U.S.
Food and Drug Administration says that a labeling policy like Prop 37 would be inherently misleading.
Now the problem is, the FDA never actually made such a statement.
A law prohibits the agency from taking such an official position on the matter.
And since falsifying quotes and counterfeiting logos for campaign purposes directly violates Section 506 of the U.S.
Criminal Code, Right to Know has notified the U.S.
Department of Justice via letter that No on 37 has flagrantly violated the law.
But besides falsifying FDA quotes, the GMO industry has tried from the very beginning to suppress information about the health effects of GMO food and our food supply.
Going back to 1998, the very first scientist who reported on the health effects of GMO was summarily fired within 24 hours and his team was disbanded.
The article, Scientists that Discovered GMO Health Hazards Immediately Fired, Team Disbanded by Natural News, points out that though it barely received any media attention at the time, a renowned British biochemist, who back in 1998 exposed the shocking truth about how genetically modified organisms cause organ damage, reproductive failure, digestive dysfunction, impaired immunity and cancer, among many other conditions,
...was immediately fired from his job and the team of researchers who assisted him dismissed from their post within 24 hours of the time when the findings went public.
Now he was studying the effects of GMO potatoes and he said that he recorded the alteration of different organs, shrinking of kidneys, changes in the liver and spleen, and the appearance of malignant parts in the tissues and kidney failure and hemorrhages in the intestine.
No, we just recently, just a few months ago, we had a French study that showed massive tumors on rats who were fed genetically modified food.
But of course, the GMO companies want you to believe that they oppose the labeling law, the truth in labeling law, simply because they want to save you money.
Yes, that's right.
They want to save you money.
And to help you save money, they're pointing out, as Melissa, they're spending a million dollars a day, as Melissa Milton has pointed out in her article, that GMO companies just want to save you money.
She says, the number one reason all of these companies and coalitions have spent over $35 million to defeat the labeling initiative is to save you money.
According to the website, no on Prop 37.
Stop the deceptive food labeling scheme.
If GMO labeling is mandated, it will increase the average Californian's family grocery bills.
And the site says, by forcing food products to be repackaged or remade with higher-priced ingredients, Prop 37 would cost the average California family up to $400 a year in higher grocery costs.
Well, where is the logic in spending $35 million so customers don't have to spend an additional $400?
The truth is that the labels will not change for an 18-month period.
And during that time, most companies change their labels anyway.
But I think we all agree that it's very important for us to understand, truthfully, what is really in our food.
And that's what people are asking for in California.
Well, that leads us to our quote for the day about secrets.
Like sex in Victorian England, the reality of big business today is our big, dirty secret.
That's Ralph Nader.
That's right.
We can't tell people what's in the food.
Well, if you're watching this on YouTube, we'd like to ask you to please consider contributing and becoming a member of PrisonPlanet.tv.
That and purchases of movies and products from InfoWarsShop.com all help to fund our operation.
Well, that's it for me tonight.
I'm out of here.
But stay tuned after the break.
Darren McBreen is going to be talking to Larry Pinckney, former Black Panther, about COINTELPRO.
Thank you.

While we fight to retain our liberty, while we fight to expose globalism, We have to realize we're talking about a very powerful combination of power.
Renowned author and expert, Joel Skousen, breaks down the globalist plan to shut down America and stage a new world war.
In one day, America will go from day to night And if you haven't prepared in advance, there's not enough time to prepare in 24 hours, even if you saw it that early.
Coming to the Info War in November is our new documentary film presentation.
Strategic relocation is a systematic way to think strategically in the future about how do I safeguard.
Joel Skousen, Strategic Relocation.
The freeways are going to be crowded, they're going to run out of gasoline, they're going to run out of food, and then they're going to start to go north and south of those freeways.
Joel Skousen is renowned as one of the world's foremost experts in strategic relocation and the securing of your home.
We talk about natural disasters, the health environment, we talk about pollution, the water quality.
My personal experience about being in every one of these states.
Government is digging in for the organized, incremental collapse of society and world war.
The U.S.
isn't building huge underground bases and bunkers because of some terrorist threat.
They know that a massive nuclear attack is coming.
They want that attack to come.
Most people won't even be ready and won't be able to get out of town when any of these nuclear weapons fall.
Because there'll be absolute panic.
There is no preparedness without strategy.
What I tell people is that you do have time.
Prepare wisely in advance.
This Christmas, give the gift of preparedness.
Strategic Relocation the Film.
With Joel Skousen and Alex Jones.
My friends, Alex Jones here with a very important announcement.
We are launching a new salvo in the info war because there is a war on for your mind.
You know that the globalists are trying to get everybody online and only online so they can control and surveil information.
And also erase books, videos, whatever they want to, en masse.

Again, we cover from the technocratic social engineers' own words, their own admissions, their plan To take over our society and replace us with robots.
But we don't just stop with the rise of the robots and the end of humanity.
Or, will humanity survive the singularity?
We get into the government buying now 1.6 billion bullets against the American people.
We get into Big Sis' surveillance of this magazine and my website, InfoWars.com.
We cover QE3 and what hyperinflation means to you and your family.
Whatever you do, don't look back later and wish that you would have taken action.
Take action now.
People have never been more ready for this information.

I'm Darren McBreen and tonight we're going to talk about COINTELPRO, which is an acronym for the Counterintelligence Program that was a series of covert and illegal projects that were carried out by the FBI under J. Edgar Hoover from 1956 to about 1971.
Now these were covert operations used against American citizens.
Like the people involved in the Civil Rights Movement, including Martin Luther King Jr., as well as black nationalist groups, the American Indian Movement, The Black Panthers and almost every group or organization protesting the Vietnam War.
Their tactics were ruthless, to say the least.
They included death threats, breaking into people's houses, smear campaigns, psychological warfare.
They liked to forge documents, plant false reports in the media.
The use of violence was, of course, common, and so was intimidation, false imprisonment, you name it.
And yes, these tactics also included Assassinations.
And perhaps we should title tonight's interview with our guest, That Was Then, This Is Now, COINTELPRO 2012.
Or COINTELPRO Continues.
Because these types of operations, well they've never really ended.
They've just assumed different names, and they've expanded to include the multitude of U.S.
intelligence agencies.
If anything, COINTELPRO is probably worse now than it ever was.
And that brings us to our next guest, who is here to help us break this all down.
That is Larry Pinckney, and he was a political prisoner and victim of COINTELPRO.
He is a veteran of the Black Panther Party, former Minister of Interior of the Republic of Africa, and the author of the Keeping It Real column in the national publication, The Black Commentator.
Blackcommentator.com is the website.
Larry Pinkney, it's an honor to have you.
Thank you for joining us.
Well, thank you, Darren.
Right back at you.
It's an honor.
Believe me, it is an honor to be on the program.
And I want to say thank you to all of the viewing and listening audience.
Well, for those in our audience who might not be familiar with who you are, please tell us a little bit about yourself and what you know about COINTELPRO.
Well, in a nutshell, my background is that, as you mentioned, I'm a veteran of the Black Panther Party.
I am a former Minister of Interior for the Republic of New Africa.
I was a political prisoner for 10 years.
I'm the only quote-unquote American to have ever successfully self-authored my civil political human rights case to the United Nations.
Not that it really mattered to the countries, even though I won the case.
And, as you also mentioned, I'm an editorial board member and columnist with Black Commentator, that's blackcommentator.com, and associate editor with Intrepid Report, which is intrepidreport.com.
But most importantly, I try to continue keeping it real, to continue in this struggle, because we're living in some very, very serious times, my brother.
Well, I hear you, and you were a political prisoner for 10 years after being set up and framed, but you're not the only one.
I mean, there were literally thousands of others who were victimized by this, am I right?
You are absolutely correct, and I'm so glad you mentioned that, because the reality is that there were Thousands, more like tens of thousands.
Some people are unknown to this day.
As you mentioned in your introduction, you know, people were murdered.
They were set up in every vicious kind of fashion.
People's families were used against them, their friends, quote-unquote, their associates, quote-unquote, were used to destroy them.
Based upon what?
Their political beliefs.
Based upon their principles.
And you also mentioned, and I'm so glad you did, Darren, that this is going on today.
The counterintelligence program has in fact morphed Into things such as the NDAA, the so-called National Defense Authorization Act, which has a provision, as you well know, that says that American citizens, as well as anyone else, but U.S.
citizens can be indefinitely imprisoned without charge, without trial, without judge, without jury.
Oh yes, this Barack Obama, war criminal president, Signed the NDAA on December 31st, 2011, when he knew everybody, or mostly everybody, would be sleeping.
Nobody would pay attention to it.
Then, of course, we have what?
Either sleeping or partying.
But then we have, of course, the kill list.
Obama's famous, infamous, I should say, kill list, which says that anyone, including U.S.
citizens, can be murdered at the will, essentially, of whom?
None other than this war, war criminal president, Barack Obama.
So, what has happened is, COINTELPRO, instead of destroying it, like they should have, they simply made it, quote, legal.
And so it's gotten worse.
As you said earlier, the acronyms may have changed.
But the reality, the horror of it, continues.
And this is something that we, all of us, all of us, sisters and brothers, must understand that the situation has intensified.
But do not fear, because the power of the people is here, if we can just wake up and organize.
But go ahead, my brother, I'm sorry, I ranted.
No, I couldn't agree with you more.
Actually, I was wanting to get your take as well on something that occurred earlier this week, and that was the fact that Mitt Romney's son was reported to have purchased the electronic voting machines in Ohio.
And meanwhile, at the same time, we have Obama supporters who have been flooding Facebook and Twitter accounts saying that they're going to riot should Obama fail to secure a second term.
And I thought this had COINTELPRO written all over it as far as, let's say that Obama should lose the election, the powers to be could easily agent provocateur or set up some kind of false flag incident.
Fan the flames of rioting, if you would, throughout any town USA or throughout the entire nation until ultimately we'd have massive civil unrest and they'd have the perfect excuse to declare martial law and then take one more giant leap forward toward the total police state, which has been their objective for many, many years.
What are the chances of people rioting, you think, if Obama were to lose the election?
Well, first of all, I'm sad to say that I doubt that Obama will lose the election.
I think they want to reinstall him because he's what I call perfect ghetto uprising insurance, if you get my drift.
Ghetto uprising insurance.
And he's a perfect Trojan horse for this avaricious Wall Street corporate elite.
But let me direct my answer to your question.
If, in fact, Obama were to lose this election, which I call a C-election, because we're not really, no one's being elected, it's twiddly-dee and twiddly-dum.
But the reality is that Barack Obama is in a position today where the government, and I say corporate government, because it's certainly not the people's government, is utilizing every kind of tactic that it can to frighten people, to keep people disorganized.
And as far as rioting goes, I remember saying this, I don't know if it was on this show or another show, but, you know, to riot, if we're going to have a riot, why don't they begin rioting in their own minds, wake their minds up and find out just what the hell is going on. wake their minds up and find out just what the You hit the nail right on the head, Darren, when you said this has COINTELPRO written all over it.
It does.
This is perfect agent provocateur kind of tactics, agent provocateur.
So we have to be aware of this.
The corporate stream media is going to do and is doing, not is going to do, is engaging in every nefarious activity that it possibly can to keep people at each other's throats.
Instead of people talking about rioting, they ought to be talking about what in the hell do we have this NDAA signing, predator drone, warmongering, Wall Street puppet sitting in the White House doing more damage than George W. Bush ever could have dreamed of doing. Wall Street puppet sitting in the White House doing more And don't get me wrong, I was not a supporter of George W. Bush, but let's get real, okay?
This man in less than four years has destroyed in the essence of what Uh, people who love justice and freedom, he's destroyed the essence, or tried to destroy I should say, because he hasn't destroyed it, the essence of the people's struggle.
And I'm talking about black, white, brown, red, and yellow people across the board.
None of this division, none of this divisive nonsense.
We gotta come together.
So, no.
As far as getting back to the whole riot thing, that is what the CIA calls a balloon.
They put a balloon up there, floating a balloon, you know what I mean?
And then they say, what kind of reaction can we get?
Can we get a bunch of fools to do this?
Oh, wow!
Yeah, look at them!
Fools!
You know, idiots!
But anyway, I'll stop right there.
Well, I agree with you, and like I said, the potential for civil unrest is there, and they could definitely, you know, people in the United States will riot if the Lakers win the championship, or they're upset about a sporting event.
A riot could start easily.
You know, another group I was thinking that was targeted by COINTELPRO back in the day was the American Indian Movement, and we were all saddened by the loss of American icon, hero, legend, you name it, Russell Means, who tragically passed away over the weekend.
And I noticed on blackcommentator.com on the website that you wrote a tribute to Russell Means.
It's called A Tribute to Russell Means, Whose Spirit Shall Never Die.
I encourage everyone to check that out.
It is wonderfully written.
And Russell Means was no stranger to the info war.
I mean, he's been on our program several times.
Our very own Rob Dew got to spend the day with him not very long ago.
And the interview is available on the Alex Jones YouTube channel.
In fact, we have a whole Russell Means tribute that we have uploaded on YouTube.
So, you know, everybody should check that out as well.
But, you know, tell us about the legacy that he left and the message that will continue because of the impact Absolutely.
To say that I love and respect Russell would be an understatement, truly.
Russell Means was not merely, and I'm not saying it's certainly not important, but he was not only one of the leaders of the American Indian Movement, and the American Indian Movement, by the way, as you noted, Was in fact a target of the counterintelligence program.
Proof of that is just look at the many indigenous people that were murdered and look at a longtime political prisoner who's still a political prisoner, Leonard Peltier, who was also very much and directly involved with AIM, the American Indian Movement.
Now, getting back to Russell, Russell, and as I wrote in my column, you know, in tribute to Russell Means, whose spirit shall never die, and it will not, I said that Russell represented courage.
You know, the corporate stream media did not like Russell Means, and anybody that the corporate stream media liked, you better be wary of, but they did not like Russell Means.
Because Russell Means spoke the truth.
Whether we agreed on every single detail or not was absolutely irrelevant.
He...
He spoke the truth.
He continued to talk about how this government is hypocritical.
Not just to indigenous native people, but to everybody.
Black, white, brown, red, and yellow people.
Everybody.
Its policies are hypocritical and dangerous to everyday people.
Okay?
For example, this whole thing of terrorism.
This terrorism is being carried out by whom?
Our own government.
Well, if you terrorize people, what are those people going to do?
They're probably going to respond in kind, or I should say react in kind, with what?
With terrorism.
So it's a cycle of violence and terror that this corporate government is responsible for.
And Russell knew that!
Russell talked about it, and he tied it in with the many, many treaties that were broken with the sisters and brothers of the Indigenous Native communities across this land, and even in Canada, not just in the United States.
That's right.
I mean, he certainly made an impact and he's going to remain a positive influence for generations to come.
And man, we're certainly going to miss him.
Hey, I wanted to switch gears a little bit.
I want to talk about the Black Panthers for a little bit because I'm intrigued about it.
I want to hear about how it was formed and perhaps the role that you played in it.
Okay.
The Black Panther Party, and I want to really again thank you and everyone at InfoWars and especially the audience, because today happens to be a part of, today being October the 26th, It happens to be a part of what we veterans of the party refer to as Black Panther Party History Month.
Why?
Because the Black Panther Party was founded in the month of October of 1966 in Oakland, California.
Okay?
It was founded, first of all, in an effort to combat the virulence police violence against four people.
And in this particular case, it was primarily for black Americans, but it's four people across the board.
And as I said, the party was founded in Oakland, California in October of '66.
The party formed around the basis of what we call all power to the people.
That was our rallying cry.
All power to the people, the people.
You say black people, white people, brown people, all power to the people, period.
Okay.
Uh, and if you just put in all, you Google that, you'll see Black Panther Party come up.
We had what was called a 10 point, 10 point, a 10 point, program and political platform.
Very basic.
We were very simple but deep instead of being like these jerks today, complex and very shallow.
We kept it very clear.
The Ten Point program dealt with issues of food, shelter, clothing, medical care, everyday issues that we're still having to deal with today.
And I don't care what your color or gender is.
We still have to deal with them today.
And the 10 point program consisted of what we want, what we believe, what we believe, what we want.
Those are the two segments throughout the 10 point program.
And this is why people responded.
People responded because it was so clear!
It was so simple!
And of course, unfortunately, so did the government respond.
Brutally!
Yeah, J. Edgar Hoover said the Black Panther Party was the greatest threat to the internal security of the country, was his quote.
That's right.
And, you know, now talk about insanity.
Since when is food, housing, shelter, clothing, education, if that's a threat, To the internal security of this country, then, brothers and sisters, we better look at what internal security really means!
You know, we better give that some thought.
Even today, we better give that some thought.
You know, so, the Ten Point Program is what Huey P. Newton, who I was very fortunate to know fairly well, and Bobby Seale, actually sat down and wrote, clear, simple fashion.
We had three breakfast programs.
Yes.
Free breakfast programs, nationally.
We had free shoe programs.
We had free clothing programs.
All of these are national programs, okay?
We had free medical programs, where we set up clinics.
And so, you don't have the money to pay?
Who cares?
Come on, your medical needs need to be taken care of.
And by the way, you didn't have to be black.
Yeah, I was going to say, that was people of all color.
That's right, that's right, that's right.
And that's another thing that the media did, was they disfigured and distorted the party.
Okay, so people, you say Black Panther, they go, oh, they hate those white people, right?
But they've been programmed by the corporate stream media to believe that nonsense, to believe those lies.
You know, the party, as I said, strongly believed in our rallying cry, all power to the people, to this very day.
Even though the party was ultimately decimated, the legacy of the party, and it was decimated, of course, thanks to the United States government, these horrible activities that they engaged in, but even though the party was decimated physically, its legacy is incredibly strong even today, which is, of course, why they had to get somebody like, you know, Barack Obama to redirect the attention
from the real struggle of everyday ordinary people.
So now you got people running around.
Oh, Obama.
Well, you know, the reality is what he is is a murderer.
What he is is a conjurer.
You know what he is is a Trojan horse.
But see, back in the day with the party, with the Black Panther Party, things were far clearer.
But I have a feeling that things are still going to become even clearer as long as we unite and have our differences.
That's fine.
If we don't have differences, somebody's lying.
But we're going to have our differences in the closet, and we're going to come out as a united front of people of all colors.
That's right.
That's right.
I hope I answered it.
No, absolutely.
It's great to hear you speak out, and I'm curious as well, what happened to the old crew?
I mean, do you guys ever get together?
Are there reunions?
Do you ever hang out, have a beer, talk politics?
All the time, my brother, all the time.
I stay in touch with at least three or four party veterans on a regular basis.
Sister Kiyu Onyasha, who's in the Bay Area, you know, San Francisco, Oakland, Bay Area.
Brother BJ, Billy X. Jennings, who's also in the Sacramento and California and Oakland area.
Brother Gerald, who's also in Oakland.
I mean, I can name a Robert King Wilkerson, who was one of the is one of the Angola Three, was in prison for, my God, three decades. - He finally was, yes, yes, he also was a party member, but I stay in touch.
We stay in touch with each other.
Oh yes, on a regular basis.
We go on.
The struggle goes on.
I was just going to say that, you know, the struggle continues.
So it's good to know that you guys are still hanging out.
And, you know, when I think of the original Black Panther Party, you know, I think of that the street toughness.
You guys had pride, discipline, but you also had, you know, open carry guns, which, you know, you were policing the police, which definitely that needed to be done at that time.
It was like a neighborhood watch program.
And there was a lot of police brutality going on.
And you guys, the Brothers on the Block is what you used to call it.
And tell us about your thoughts on the Second Amendment.
I mean, we have a right to defend ourselves, don't we?
I'm glad you put a question mark behind that, because at least constitutionally we do.
But if we pay close attention to the way things are coming down, and I don't care whether it's Democrat or Republican, if we pay close attention to what's happening, our constitutional rights have been eroded.
Suddenly, anyone who talks about self-defense Is viewed as a quote-unquote militant when they should be viewed as a thinking person saying wait a minute Who runs this country the people?
Well, then they turn around and of course say, well, the people, the government is the people.
We all know that's nonsense.
The government is General Electric.
The government is Goldman Sachs.
The government is Lockheed.
That's not the people.
But in any event, my point is that we are the ones who have to make the Constitution And our common sense, not just the U.S.
Constitution, but just our common sense.
Let's use our common sense.
Let's make it real.
I write a column in the Black Commentator called Keeping It Real, right?
So let's keep it real.
The reality, and I want to mention very quickly as far as the party was concerned back in the 60s and early 70s, at the time that the party was openly, and I repeat, openly carrying guns, it was quite legal.
In the state of California, where we're doing that, all right?
So what did they do?
They turned around, and by they I mean the government, you know, like, guess what?
You can probably already tell me what they did.
They passed what's called the Mulford, M-U-L-F-O-R-D, the Mulford Act.
That's right.
And so they quashed that right.
No, no, no, how dare you be able to do that?
You know, but by that time, even though they did that, We had instilled in the communities, and I say across the nation, with black, brown, red, white, and yellow people, the will to resist, the will to stand up, the will to say, no, I'm not going to accept this.
So if that's what J. Edgar Hoover meant when he said we were the greatest threat to internal security, if that's what he meant, he might have had a point.
Well, I think what's frustrating with me, and a lot of people that work here at Infowars, I'm sure with yourself as well, we all have friends, family members, neighbors, who, you know, they're stuck in that left-right paradigm, if you will, and which, as far as I'm concerned, the two-party system, it's a two-party dictatorship, you know?
Right.
And how do we get people to break that matrix and get them to wake it up?
What's the best way that you've learned to get them to wake up from this trance-like state and wake up to the realization that the world is not what they think it is?
Well, I like to make people mad, because sometimes that's the only way you can make them think.
I don't mind if they get mad at me, but if they get mad at me, what that tells me is somehow something that I said must have actually gotten into that brain and they were thinking about it and they didn't like it, all right?
But that tells me they were at least thinking about it.
All these couch potatoes that we have, all these sheeple, my people, that we have, We have to regain, I write this all the time in IntrepidReport.com and BlackCommentator.com, I say it all the time, we have got to regain our humanity.
You are so correct.
You know, Darren, you are so correct.
This false, fake, fraudulent, left-right paradigm is nothing but a trap!
It's a trap!
Particularly as embodied by the Democrat and Republican parties.
It's like, please!
Wake up, people!
This is the same game.
They play the same game, so people feel trapped, and they are trapped, because we have allowed ourselves to be trapped.
The one thing they do not want, and by they, I mean the corporate stream media and the corporate stream government, the 1% or a little bit that runs This, this, this nation.
The one thing they do not want us to do, my brother, is they do not want us to get together face-to-face and communicate.
Because Lord knows if we do that, well, we might actually change some things.
You know, share our experiences.
Share what we have gone through.
My pain is your pain, and your pain is my pain.
All this liberal left and right wing nonsense, we need to put that aside.
That's right, and that's what people need to understand.
People say to me, you're not going to vote for Obama.
And, you know, the sooner people realize that, the better, because our nation is in dire straits, man.
I mean, we've got to come to the realization that a global corporate elite are basically running the show.
They could give a rat's ass who wins the election because either way they win.
That's right.
And that's what people need to understand.
People say to me, well, you're not going to vote for Obama?
And I say, well, vote for who?
You don't know who Obama is?
And I look at them and just shake my head and say, you know what, brother?
You know what, sister?
Apparently, you must not understand the power of the people.
These people, whether it's Mitt Romney, Barack Obama, or Howdy Doody.
In fact, let me give Howdy Doody more credit, because he probably does represent the people more than these people.
I'm sure he does, yeah.
You know?
But, you know, we used to say back in the day, what if they gave a war and nobody came?
What if they gave a selection?
And I call it a selection because it's not an election.
What if they gave a so-called election and nobody came?
You know, who was it?
Albert Camus, the French philosopher, said, what better way to enslave a man than to give him a vote and tell him he's free?
Well, you don't control who gets there.
You don't control, when I say there, who the candidates are actually going to be.
Why, you don't even see third parties allowed.
Third parties, plural, allowed in the national debate.
I mean, what's that about?
And by the way, what about the electoral college system that is like a safety net for this corrupt system?
What about that?
Excuse me, whatever happened to one person and one vote?
Whatever happened to that?
So we need to be honest with ourselves.
It's not overwhelming.
It's actually quite simple.
If we band together, if we collectively come together and do something about it as a people, and guess what, brothers and sisters?
They're going to do everything they can, including agent provocateurs, people to try to set us up, to try to frame us, people to try to kill us.
Hey, that's what a government does, that fears the people.
It is time for the people to stop fearing the government.
It is time for the people to start taking serious action, to come together with each other, for our common interest.
We have far more in common, black, white, brown, red, and yellow, than we have in terms of dissimilarities.
Our common interest is what this struggle is all about.
Well, I'm into that.
And, you know, you're a terrific speaker.
Do you have, do you go to any speaking engagements?
You know, we're almost out of time, so I also wanted to ask you if you have anything coming up on your website, speaking engagements, what's next for Larry Pinkney?
Larry takes it as it comes.
The most recent actual speaking engagement that I had was at Syracuse University, which was a few months ago last year, College of Law.
And we shall see.
I certainly will be looking forward to be speaking more with my sisters and brothers of all colors.
You dig?
And as we say in the party, you dig?
You understand?
Because this struggle is all of us together.
So go to Black Activist Writers Guild.
That's blackactivistwg.org.
Check us out.
Check out the articles.
You'll see various pages and you'll see what I'm up to.
But you know what?
What I'm up to is what all of us have got to be up to.
I'm not in this struggle by myself.
I'm in it with you, Darren.
I'm in it with our listeners at InfoWars.
I'm in it with everybody across the board.
Well, that's right, and we are all in this fight together, and Larry, I can't thank you enough for hanging out with us tonight.
I admire your courage.
Thank you for having the courage to stand up to COINTELPRO and warning others that it's still happening today, and we all need to recognize that as well.
So I sure hope you are willing to come back and join us again sometime in the near future.
Of course, and I thank you, and let me simply say thank you to all my sisters and brothers, all my brothers and sisters out there.
All power to the people.
All power to the people.
All right, Larry, thank you.
Alright folks, there he goes.
That was Larry Pinkney.
And you know, he's quickly becoming a favorite guest on our show.
Our viewers respond well to him and you know, he's a fascinating character.
You know, he's the real deal.
You know, it's always fascinating to talk to him because not only did he take part in one of the most interesting times in history, you know, with the Black Panthers back in the 60s and 70s, but he's a prominent activist today and who knows?
Perhaps the, you know, modern times will prove to be the most interesting time of all.
If not, especially dangerous for political activists.
Hey, that's going to do it for tonight's broadcast.
I'm Darren McBreen.
The InfoWars Nightly News will continue, Lord willing, next Monday through Friday, 7 o'clock p.m.
Central Time.
Until then, I hope all you guys out there have a blessed weekend, and we'll see you back right here on Monday.
