The following excerpt from his FBI file, obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, speaks for itself:\n\n"Pinkney is potentially dangerous due to his demonstrated ability to unify black and white. His associates are Negro, White, and Chinese. Special attention is being given to neutralizing him. The areas of sex and drugs appear to be the most effective ones to utilize. His habits in these areas are unknown, but are being monitored with this objective. The FBI is working in conjunction with [blacked out, but a covering note to the U.S. Secret Service, San Francisco, accompanies this]."\n\nAs the curent regime grows more and more blatantly tyrannical and oppressive, resistance against it mounts. Power concedes nothing without a struggle, and generally tries to make the mildest and most cosmetic of reforms, if possible, in order to maintain control. How much systemic change can be acheived depends upon the depth and strength of the social movement. For an overview of how Social Movements work see- Strategy for the 9/11 Truth Movement \n\nJoin the conversation- Call-in numbers are - Toll Free 888-202-1984, or if you have unlimited long distance, please use 512-646-1984.\n\nQuestioning War- Organizing Resistance is a weekly radio show hosted by Carol Brouillet, a longtime activist who organized three conferences on Strategies to Transform the Global Economy and (the first) marches on her Senators and Congresswoman in January 2002 to Demand a Congressional Investigation of 9-11.
