Glick, "War at Home" 警察が主導する集団ストーキング "コインテルプロ"

Glick, Brian. War at Home: Covert Action against U.S. Activists and What We Can Do About It. Boston, MA: South End Press, 1989. Print.

A total of 2,370 officially approved COINTELPRO actions 

were admitted to the Senate Intelligence Committee, and thousands 

more have since been uncovered. 

 【コインテルプロの４つの主な手口】

Four main methods have been revealed: 

 【１．潜伏】

1. Infiltration: Agents and informers did not merely spy on 

political activists. Their main purpose was to discredit and disrupt. Their 

very presence served to undermine trust and scare off potential sup- 

porters. The FBI and police exploited this fear to smear genuine activists 

as agents. 

【２．心理戦術】

2. Psychological Warfare From the Outside: The FBI and 

police used myriad other "dirty tricks" to undermine progressive move- 

ments. They planted false media stories and published bogus leaflets and 

other publications in the name of targeted groups. They forged cor- 

respondence, sent anonymous letters, and made anonymous telephone 

calls. They spread misinformation about meetings and events, set up 

pseudo movement groups run by government agents, and manipulated 

or strong-armed parents, employers, landlords, school officials and 

others to cause trouble for activists. 

【３．法律を濫用した嫌がらせ】

3. Harassment Through the Legal System: The FBI and police 

abused the legal system to harass dissidents and make them appear to 

be criminals. Officers of the law gave perjured testimony and presented 

fabricated evidence as a pretext for false arrests and wrongful imprison- 

ment. They discriminatorily enforced tax laws and other government 

regulations and used conspicuous surveillance, "investigative" inter- 

views, and grand jury subpoenas in an effort to intimidate activists and 

silence their supporters. 

【４．非合法な暴力行使、殺傷】

4. Extralegal Force and Violence: The FBI and police 

threatened, instigated, and themselves conducted break-ins, vandalism, 

assaults, and beatings. The object was to frighten dissidents and disrupt 

their movements. In the case of radical Black and Puerto Rican activists 

(and later Native Americans), these attacks — including political assas- 

sinations — were so extensive, vicious, and calculated that they can 

accurately be termed a form of official "terrorism."(10)

The most intense COINTELPRO operations were directed against 

the Black movement, particularly the Black Panther Party. This was to 

some extent a function of the racism of the FBI and police…

［黒人以外も標的にするコインテルプロ］

COINTELPRO's targets were not, however, limited to Black 

militants. Many other activists who wanted to end U.S. intervention 

abroad or institute racial, gender, and class justice at home also came 

under attack. Cesar Chavez, Fathers Daniel and Phillip Berrigan, Rev. 

Jesse Jackson, David Dellinger, officials of the American Friends Service 

Committee and the National Council of Churches, and other leading 

pacifists were high on the list, as were projects directly protected by the 

First Amendment, such as anti-war teach-ins, progressive bookstores, 

independent filmmakers, and alternative newspapers and news ser- 

vices.  Martin Luther King, Jr., world-renowned prophet of non- 

violence, was the object of sustained FBI assault. King was marked, 

barely a month before his murder, for elimination as a potential "mes- 

siah" who could "unify and electrify" the Black movement (11).

［公権力による不法侵入、器物損壊］

Government Burglaries and Vandalism: Former agents confessed to

thousands of “black bag jobs” in which the FBI broke into dissidents' offices,

 homes, and cars. Some of these burglaries were carried out stealthily,

 to copy records, steal papers, sabotage machinery, or plant bugs, drugs, or guns,

 without the targets' knowledge.  In one operation, FBI agents broke in

 to steal the personal diary of a member of the Progressive Labor Party, 

forged entries to set up a snitch jacket, and then broke in again

 to plant the incriminating evidence.

                Many other bag jobs were blatantly crude, designed to intimidate

 activists and their supporters. Government infiltrators later admitted numerous

 other acts of vandalism, ranging from broken windows to fire-bombings (61).

Guidelines for Coping with Extralegal Force and Violence: 

…4. Make a public issue of any form of crude harassment. Contact 

your congressperson. Call the media. Demonstrate at your local FBI, 

police, or right-wing organization's office. Turn the attack into an oppor- 

tunity for explaining how domestic covert action threatens fundamental 

human rights. 

5.  Keep careful records of break-ins, thefts, bomb threats, raids, 

brutality, conspicuous surveillance, and other harassment. They will 

help you to discern patterns and to prepare reports and testimony. 

6. Share this information and your experiences combatting such 

attacks with the Movement Support Network and other groups which 

document and analyze repression and resistance countrywide. (See 

resource groups listing in back of book.) 

7. If you experience or anticipate intense harassment, develop 

contingency plans and an emergency telephone network so you can 

rapidly mobilize community support and media attention. Consider 

better locks, window bars, alarm systems, fireproof locked cabinets, etc(64).

［大手マスコミや有識者も共謀し被害者の風評をでっちあげ］

             While freely applying its own massive armed force to crush oppo- 

sition movements at home and abroad, the U.S. government has maneu- 

vered to discredit the legitimate use of force by those who have no other 

way to resist genocide and fight for freedom. It has colluded with the 

major media and the academic establishment to cover up official vio- 

lence and provocation while promoting exaggerated and fabricated 

accounts which smear movement militancy as "terrorism.'' This propa- 

ganda sets up dissidents for blatant repression and isolates them from 

the support they need to withstand it. 

 
［政略目的に暴力を行なう米警察こそテロリストといえる］

…Taking into account the political beatings, shootings, and vandalism

 by the FBI and police, their aid to right-wing vigilantes, their provocation

 and incite- ment of brutal assaults on activists, and their outright ssassination

 of movement leaders, these government agencies are far and away 

the primary source of political violence in the United States. It is they who 

systematically and aggressively initiate the use of force and intimidation 

for political ends. Under the guise of combatting terrorism, the FBI and 

police are — in this fundamental sense — the real terrorists. 

               The government's secret use of force and fraud to crush political 

opposition is antithetical to any accepted concept of democracy. In the 

name of protecting our fundamental freedoms, the FBI and police have 

in fact subverted them.

WAR AT HOME 

 
［各国の秘密警察は米政府からその手口の指導や資金援助を受けている］

               Most people in the United States rightly condemn the secret police 

(often trained and financed by our government) who terrorize dissident 

movements in many other countries. Applying the same standards to the 

FBI and its allies in and out of government, it is hard to escape the 

conclusion that the situation is not all that different here at home, 

especially for people of color. The FBI and its associates together 

perform all the classic functions of a secret police… They interro- 

gated, detained, slandered, lied, vandalized, tortured, maimed, and 

killed. What would they do if millions of people demanded basic change?

［権力犯罪を行なう米警察こそが民主主義と国家の法治を脅かしている］

In the United States today, it is the political police, not the radical activists,

 who pose the threat to democracy and the danger to law and order (69).

FBI records reveal repeated maneuvers to generate pressure on dissidents from their parents, children, spouses, landlords, employers, college administrators, church superiors, welfare agencies, credit bureaus, and the like... They may try to threaten or intimidate you by pretending to have information about you: We know what you have been doing, but if you cooperate it will be all right.
