They didn’t end COINTELPRO. They rebranded it—into surveillance, psyops, and digital silence.
COINTELPRO never ended. It just changed names.
This explosive investigation exposes how the FBI’s covert Counterintelligence Program wasn’t just about spying—it was a psychological weapon used against civil rights leaders, activists, musicians, whistleblowers, and anyone who challenged the system. Martin Luther King Jr. was told to end his own life. Fred Hampton was drugged and executed. And John Lennon? Monitored for singing the wrong song.
But what if COINTELPRO didn’t stop in the 70s? What if it went digital?
In this episode of Divergent Files, we uncover the dark evolution of COINTELPRO—how it mutated into modern surveillance systems, influence operations, fusion centers, and algorithmic censorship. We connect historical receipts to modern psyops and ask the question: If they erased leaders in the past, how many voices have already been deleted today?
This isn't theory. These are declassified memos, court transcripts, and buried records—read aloud.
Discover the system that still controls dissent.
