Don’t let the name of the podcast fool you...it’s a passive-aggressive poke at the way women seem to be viewed by society: expendable objects to be utilized and quite literally ended, if a perpetrator so chooses..that’s the message that I GET from the lack of action over the entire world, within our societies to protect women and girls. Let’s face it: femocide is on the rise. If you’re anything like me, then you know how important it feels to witness the stories within these cases. To be able to identify patterns of misogyny in our own lives is empowering and can also make us feel more prepared. We will be discussing crimes that include honor killings, intimate partner violence, war crimes, anti-abortion violence..all things caused by misogyny. My hopes are to educate everyone on a safer society because EVERYONE lives in society. I’m neurodivergent af and am doing this podcast alone. Sometimes episodes are late, but i’m doing my best to get them out every other week!

Ep. 14: Witch Hunts pt. 4b - COINTELPRO & its attack on the Black Panther Party
This episode examines the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s campaign against the Black Panther Party of Self-Defense under the secret so-called ”counter-intelligence program” known as COINTELPRO. Through newly contextualized accounts, it traces how a community-based organization that provided free breakfasts for children, health clinics, and sickle-cell testing became one of the government’s most hated, highest-priority targets.
The discussion follows the founding of the Party, its social programs, and the FBI’s tactics of infiltration, surveillance, and “snitch-jacketing,” which culminated in the raid that killed Illinois chairman Fred Hampton in 1969. It considers why the Party’s vision of independence: feeding, educating, and protecting their own communities, was perceived as a danger to the political establishment...spoiler: when marginalized groups begin to see the system as unnecessary, the patriarchy doubles down.
This installment also marks the near conclusion of the Witch Hunt series’ exploration of COINTELPRO. The series will soon turn from federal intelligence operations to other historical and contemporary cases that reveal how power-imbalances and patriarchy can have devestating consequences.
