A 2017 FBI report on Black Identity Extremists is revisited to show how the government creates labels to justify surveillance and suppression. The hosts argue that the same playbook used against black activists is now being applied to the MAGA movement. They discuss the role of infiltration and gangstalking in disrupting social movements, regardless of their racial or political makeup.
A news report suggests that the Black Lives Matter movement bears responsibility for anti-police sentiment that led to shootings in Dallas and Louisiana. The hosts discuss the potential top-down funding of the movement by George Soros and the FBI's strategy of lumping disparate bad actors under a single "BIE" label. They contrast this with the government's handling of white nationalist groups.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions testifies before Congress regarding the Black Identity Extremist report. Under questioning from Karen Bass, Sessions struggles to name specific modern organizations targeting police, eventually citing the Dallas and Baton Rouge shootings as justification. The hosts critique Sessions' performance and the "casting" of him as a stereotypical Southern antagonist.
News coverage from July 2016 details the ambush of police officers in Dallas during a protest. Initial reports from the Dallas Police Chief claimed multiple snipers were triangulating positions from parking garages. The hosts highlight the early confusion regarding the number of suspects and the report of a suspect dying from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
