An Interview w/ Dhoruba Bin Wahad from 1990 on Cointel-Pro and the Rise of Fascism

Former Black Panther and political prisoner Dhoruba Bin Wahad gave an incredible, insightful and prophetic interview with Harold Channer shortly after he was released from prison in 1990. He had just spent 20 years in jail on what he saw as trumped up charges.  Dhoruba saw himself as a political prisoner who was caught in the cross hairs of the FBI and other law enforcement agencies after he and his fellow comrades known as the Panther 21 successfully defended themselves in court.

In this interview Dhoruba talks in great detail about Cointel Pro and how it impacted the Black Panthers and his life. He talks about how the FBI attempted to cause a civil war with East Coast and West Coast Black Panthers. He also talks about the rise of fascism, and the ongoing impact of white supremacy. he also talks about an emerging class of people called Technocrats.

Here is that 1990 interview which aired on hard Knock radio: 08-06-2018
