Al Sharpton's Secret Work As FBI Informant

People who actually do work have to deal with other people who do. The fact that he had to do something w the FBI at some point is no big deal, but what he did with em or for em, matters. Thing is, none of us will really know what all this is about.

End of the day, ya gotta measure him on his accomplishments cuz it doesn't seem like we'll ever get to know his motives and intentions.

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:




He helped the FBI secretly record mobsters with a bugged briefcase, but the Rev. Al Sharpton said Tuesday that he’s no rat.

Facing stunning new details of his work as a federal informant, Sharpton said he “did what was right” when he helped an FBI-NYPD task force known as the “Genovese Squad” go after Mafia figures in the 1980s.

“I was not and am not a rat because I wasn’t with the rats,” he said. “I’m a cat. I chase rats.”

Sharpton called a press conference at the Harlem headquarters of his National Action Network to respond to a story by The Smoking Gun website detailing his undercover work.

He said he went to the feds after his life was threatened by mobsters — and that in his mind, he was not an informant, even though the government referred to him in court papers as CI-7, short for Confidential Informant 7.

“I don’t know if I’m C-7 or B-19. I don’t know none of that,” he said. “I know I was threatened. I did what anybody would do...other than a thug. And I cooperated.”


I’m a cat. I chase rats.

The revelations come as Sharpton prepares to host a three-day convention of the National Action Network that will feature an address Wednesday by Mayor de Blasio and a speech Friday by President Obama.

The White House refused to comment on the revelations but de Blasio had no such reluctance.

“Doesn’t change the relationship one bit. I’m very proud to be his friend,” de Blasio said. “I think he has done a lot of good for the City of New York and this country.”

The mayor appeared to accept Sharpton’s version of events - that he was threatened by the mob when he pushed for more black concert promoters to get work in the mobbed-up music business.

“What’s obvious from what he said this very morning is that he was asked by the FBI to support their efforts, and he agreed to help. And that’s what a citizen should do,” de Blasio said.The Smoking Gun reported - as other news organizations have in the past — that Sharpton became an informant after he was caught on a video nodding along as a drug kingpin discussed cocaine deals. His cooperation allegedly prevented the possibility that he would be charged.

Sharpton claimed that video simply recorded a failed sting.

The author of the Smoking Gun story, William Bastone, said Sharpton’s claims don’t hold water.

“The idea that he made the recordings because this guy supposedly threatened him .... It’s just totally crazy,” Bastone said.

“He may not like considering himself a confidential informant, but that’s what he was. He wasn’t doing this out of the goodness of his heart.”

Sharpton cast the new attention on his work with the feds as racist. He said that while blacks who help law enforcement are called snitches, “We make heroes in other communities who fight crime.”

Sharpton’s cooperation with the FBI had been reported as far back as 1988, but The Smoking Gun revealed that he had 10 face-to-face meetings — all recorded — with Joseph (Joe Bana) Buonanno, a Gambino family member.

The recordings were used to help get judicial approval for wiretaps to bug two Genovese family social clubs, three cars used by mobsters and many of their phones — and those wiretaps, in turn, produced evidence that helped to convict several Mafioso, the Smoking Gun reported.

Sharpton said Wednesday that he would do it all again.

But he said he had one regret: the re-appearance of photos from the 1980s that show his much-heftier self.

“We’re used to the attacks,” he said. "The only thing I was embarrassed by is those old fat pictures. Could y’all use tomorrow the new [ONES]? Because a lot of my younger members don’t know how fat I was.”

seriously ball?

activist vs entertainer.

Edit: People actually put some faith into Al when it comes to fighting for a certain cause.

I love James Brown, but he was nothing more than an entertainer. That's what he is remember for. This isn't a debate.

Can somebody, anybody, explain to me how this is a bad thing?


If this was anyone other than Sharpton, those same NY papers would be heralding him as a hero that "stood up against the mob".

And you are a damn fool if you think because he has a tv show, Al Sharpton was "chosen" by White people.
It's never White people that call Sharpton to help them when the (White) media is ignoring the plight of their son or daughter being beaten or murdered by police.

And those people don't call Professor Griff.

No, it is not a bad thing. But people glorify the mob. People glorify Tony Montana.....heck people glorify Tony Soprano. Al's enemies can stir up trouble for him and even Obama by pushing this non-story to the front page of all media outlets.

Yes 100% right.

And you are a damn fool if you think because he has a tv show, Al Sharpton was "chosen" by White people.


But he WAS chosen by white executives at a majority WHITE OWNED network to have a show which is viewed by a majority WHITE AUDIENCE. His ratings are actually better than many of his white counterparts. That = more ad $$$$$ and at the end of the day that is all it is really about in simple terms.

Back to the CHOSEN part. Why didn't BET choose him or anyone to do what he is doing on tv for that matter? Do you think that Al would speak out if an NBC Exec had a situation similar to Rupert Murdock come up? Or if an NBC exec or higher up made some ill remarks about black people, minorities, women, etc. Do you think that Al would spend a minute on HIS SHOW radio or tv and call for him to step down? Al HOSTED SNL. He is a "safe old negro." They feel comfortable the now version of Al. 20+ years ago it was a different story.

They already have a system in place that caters to them too....even as victims.

And those people don't call Professor Griff.
He is the one who should have had a show on NBC.

:cool:

No doubt about that.

You think he wouldn't? Al still has, to my knowledge, his own radio show and runs NAN. I'm sure he enjoys the NBC check but he was who he was before that and there doesn't seem to be any change since going there. I would expect Sharpton to go at that NBC exec the same way their night time host always make sure to include their parent companies when they talk about multinational corporations that have sweetheart tax deals and breaks.
The "old Al" was ridiculous, easily dismissed mess so no, they wouldn't fool with him then. Knowing how to play the game doesn't make him "safe". In fact, it's made him more difficult to dismiss.

Black Nationalists always believed Pimpin' Al was a fed paid worker. :hmm:

http://rollingout.com/news/fbi-use-al-sharpton-try-lure-assata-shakur/

Did FBI use Al Sharpton to try to lure Assata Shakur?


It has been talked about in close circles within the Black Nationalist and Black Freedom community for years. It is something, that if proven true, would destroy Rev. Al Sharpton and his National Action Network. As painful as it is to imagine, Sharpton is accused of trying to set up Assata Shakur for arrest while she was on the run from law enforcement. The allegations are, that in 1983 for a period of two months, Sharpton met with members of Black Nationalist organizations in an upscale apartment at 30 Lincoln Plaza in Lincoln Center in New York City. The apartment was arranged by the FBI as a trap to lure suspected criminals to a secure area to be taped during conversations.

One of the men Sharpton approached was Ahmed Obafemi, a well known and respected member of the black community and well known activist. According to all accounts, Sharpton claimed he wanted to give money to Shakur and other black revolutionaries on run from the law, but he wanted a one-on-one meeting with Shakur. The deal fell through and the meeting never occurred because the Black Nationalist leadership did not trust Sharpton and sensed something was wrong.

According to a confidential source, “this comes up every few years about Sharpton. But we have never had definitive proof.” Sharpton did issue a very heated response earlier this week regarding the accusation. He stated that the people accusing him were liars and “an element in the black community that has lost out … and that will fabricate any story out of jealousy because they have no following.”

The response seemed an almost street level attack on the men who were also associates of the late Black Nationalist Chokwe Lumumba. It was Lumumba who stated his reservations about Sharpton’s intentions at this time. Lumumba was quoted as saying at one time “I can’t say that we were able to make any definite conclusions” about whether Sharpton was acting as an agent for the government. But now, with Sharpton’s cover blown, and his admission that he did work for the FBI; it’s becoming painfully apparent that another black leader is about to be discredited.

So smoking gun left these docs out huh ?

Some of you cats are so easy...


So do these black nationaists have names ? or they just a secret society.
 
how is this a huge story ? now one at all gives a fuck

- right. one of the most notable civil rights leaders for the past 30+ years could have possibly been an FBI informant.

what the fuck was I thinking. thank you for giving me clarity oh random stranger on the internet. :hmm:

i cant speak to what smoking gun left out or even knows but for years this has been said about him and Assata.

the brother felt some kind of way about the good rev, bro pimpin' al for a reason. it just seems kind of weird that "allegations" came out about him "working for the feds" just so happens to fit the m.o. of things that he has "not denied" concerning working with the feds.
 
Funny.

Just a second ago Rolling Out was a legit source when Dyson attacked West.

Now?:rolleyes:

II didn't see them called a legit source but in that particualr article they quoted the actual participants.

In this they use a confidential source and and supposed conversations. So there is nothing to this old story that can be confirmed.Its simply inuendo and speculation.

If smoking gun released the FBI docs regatrding Sharpton why wouldn't these be alos included ?

As was asked before why would the Feds think Sharpton who has never had contact and doesn't know Assata ? As opposed to using people that have met her that have connections to her .

Like Assata would make herself accessible to a stranger.

And this was out long before any other allegation and has never been confirmed by anybody.

Assata never had any interaction with Sharpton and Sharpton wasn't even in the game when Assata was convicted.

I question all these types rumors most likely because I grew up in the age of C0IntelPro and these types of allegations are standard MO...

all im saying is that this aint the first time its been said that he wore a wire during that time and worked with feds. when black folks said it people over looked it. now that white folks are saying it its cause for alarm. i believe he worked for the feds on more than just a coke deal and more than likely tried to set up Assata and many other black leaders. this is my belief and you dont have to agree with it but when its all said and done trust me when i say al will have more shit on him working with the feds coming out. do you honestly think they would not have hung the fact that he worked with them over his head to make him do other shit as well? if its a big to do about nothing then why didnt al releace this info first and take the hero's podium for helping get drugs out the black community? hell aint that what he been standing on all along? helping the black community?

But nobody overlooked it because it was in his book back in 93...


In the early 80's he was causing crakkas a lot of problems with Mason and Maddox so planting a rumor or story that he was trying to help gt to Assata would hurt his credibilty but wearing a wire on the mafia would not.

He did release it first....in his book.....is it his fault mofokrs didn't read it ?

so 20 years after his book it is in the smoking gun and now its a revelation ?

and according to him it was about self preservation due to threats he received and was told that he needed proof. thus the recording.

ok. mark my words bruh, thats all im saying.....
 
I don't discount anything but things have to make sense.

And I question the timing of bringing and old story out, which is new to a generation.

i question the timing of jessie and al after the deaths of REAL black leaders. why are they still alive and or out of jail? white supremacy has a history of dealing with black leaders one of three ways, death, prison or payroll. which one of the three are todays black leaders reppin? they aint dead or in jail sooooo......

throw farracon in there too.

:smh::smh:

how are you a so-called "black leader" and you sit back and ALLOW black genocide to go on right under your nose and don't say shit?

for 20 years now, AIDS, violence, incarceration, total cultural disregard for education, somebody is telling them what issues to discuss or tackle and which ones to STFU on :smh:

Thats also only true of some. There have been many that weren't jailed .paid off or killed but they were discredited....

again i find the timing of the release curious.

How do you say things aren't discussed because you don't know its being discussed ?

Because you haven't heard it doesn't mean it isn't being said.

But of course you wouldn't think the media of which very little of it is black is simply not reporting those things nationally?

Guess you also didn't realize that was something BET could have filled had Mr Johnson not sold it to the crakkas.

Its like you cats living in Kansas talk shit about Chicago but don't know because BGOL or the media hasn't told you.

And of course it would be on the leader to allow it while the people sit back and wait on them.

What about you cats allowing genocide on your block while you hiding from it ?

What is your involvement in the education systems? You do realize that culture is taught in the home and the community not in the school so are you teaching culture to your shorties or somebody elses if you don't have any ?
 
How do you say things aren't discussed because you don't know its being discussed ?

completely stopped reading after this sentence.

if you are a national leader, of ANYTHING, you are going to do more than "discuss" at some point.

they should have taken action a long time ago, they have unlimited resources and money and can bring attention to quite literally ANYTHING they want.

my point was that they won't even TALK or ACKNOWLEDGE these things, and when they do it's because an interviewer brought it to their attention...

again - they are hustlers, they are in business. farakhan, sharpton, and jesse have outlived every great civil rights leader before them and haven't accomplished a muthafucking thing in all that time.

but i guess they just had a "bad run" huh :rolleyes:

That is so stupid even for you...

And if you don't know what they are discussing how do you know what actions are being done ?

Plus you got a real fucked up idea on what leaders do ? you never talk about the people being led like they don't exist.



Media reports what they want you to hear...How would you hear about it if all you do is read BGOL ?

How many things have been posted on this board that you yourself said I didn't know that...???
