All aboard the MHCHAOS Agents & Johnny Acid-seeds bus. I couldn't help myself, had to outdo the high benchmark set by Pt. I. Here comes installment #3, clocking in at nearly 6 hrs. Sub to the PPM Patreon to access the unabridged version of this blue ribbon, gargantuan ep:
I think our MHCHAOS Agents primary & secondary source assemblage is coming along nicely.
In this episode, we set the foundation of our ethnographic & forensic recreation of the Columbia Uprisings, illustrating how the Communes were both a significant moment in New Left history, inciting a new militant stage in various NL groups' political development, and also how the Communes triggered the formalization & reprioritization of COINTELPRO, showing how it looms large over the history of American counterintel & counterinsurgency in the past 60 years. We also roll out some proper COINTELPRO & targeting of New Left and Civil Rights mvmt context to effectively situate our half audio-documentary, half Ramparts report Columbia Uprising history.
The main, new sources for this one are:
Vander Wall & Churchill's - The COINTELPRO PAPERS
Joshua Melville - American Time Bomb
Ramparts (May, '68 Issue) - "[An Exclusive Report] The Siege of Columbia"
The Columbia Revolt documentary
And a couple Democracy Now! Clips
