J Edgar Hoover had a gang of people infiltrating the United Negro Improvement Association, snitching or sabotaging Marcus Garvey efforts - Agent 008 The first black FBI agent was a result of their need to infiltrate the UNIA to have somebody heavily trained by the FBI with these informers reporting to this person.
Here is my synopsis of Malcolm X, he cloaked himself in racial injustice, than went after the NOI leadership to discredit them using various sophisticated intelligence tactics. This left the organization in shambles and limited its ability to influence the black community. He was probably recruited or influenced by her.
Here he is trying to pass for white straightening his hair out and getting himself a white women.
Now after many years, the NOI reconstitute itself under a new charismatic leaders without any overt character flaws. This triggered the creation of a movie financed by Warner Bros and dubious characters in the black community, using their distribution channels/marketing to retell this old story of the NOI to inflict damage to the organization again. This movie wasn't about telling this story of a Civil Rights icon, it was a COINTELPRO operation to discredit the NOI and prevent the rise of a black messiah.
Many of these tactics have been used against me, which I quickly shut down, somebody cloaking themselves in Civil Rights injustices or some other righteous cause than launching an unwarranted attack against you at some opportune moment. Doing a deep dive into the past history looking at the records can be very beneficial with today.
