Course Description:          
The acronym FBI who's motto “Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity”, and subsequent corresponding meaning is “The Federal Bureau of Investigation,” was first established in 1908 by then U.S. Attorney General Charles Bonaparte, whom at that time hired a group of special investigators to work for the U.S. Department of Justice under the command of Chief Examiner Stanly W. Finch. The initial investigative office was known as The Bureau of Investigation until 1935 when its name was changed to what is currently now known as The Federal Bureau of Investigations. The FBI was instituted as a tool with the means and capabilities to investigate criminal activities by criminals traveling across state lines. How does the restructuring of the FBI to include fingerprint file, crime laboratory, forensic science education and training, secret counterintelligence program (COINTELPRO), espionage and electronic surveillance, counterfeiters investigative unit, makes it one of the most effective crime fighting agencies nationally and globally.          
        
This article will examine the FBI’s Charter/Mandate. The FBI’s diverse crime fighting departments. What qualifications are needed to make an effective FBI Agent. We will pay close attention to how the FBI uses it technological assets, its psychological know how, the use of paid informants, and profiling methods to induce criminal behavior where there was none.          
        
Why are some individuals more prone to be influenced by coercion.          
Emotionally are our expectations of the FBI contingent on how we view their actions portrayed by the stories in the media.          
Is it the FBI’s quest to look like American heroes fighting the war on terrorism or in fact are they the ones grooming individuals, and providing the means, knowledge and resources to become terrorists.          
How is the FBI inducing crimes of terror by isolating, torturing, manipulating, using mind control techniques and sending subliminal messages to their unsuspecting victims, then stopping and or solving  their manufactured crimes?.          
What are the different psychological, socioeconomic and emotional methods used.          
        
Choice of words? In this article we hope to facilitates a deeper understanding of what is the purpose of such an agency, what is it’s role as a crime investigative unit, how it differs from other crime fighting agencies, the platform used in which the FBI works to create terrorist and other criminal elements, through readings of articles by journalist, books, and viewing documentaries from various media outlets, and the FBI’s own COINTELPRO case files.      
    
We begin with the history, restructuring and the shift from crime investigators to Counter terrorism Agents to legal criminal organization under the supervision of the U.S. Justice Department using Gestapo style tactics yielding a new motto ““Play ball with us or else.”              
        
J. Edgar Hoover and the Cointelpro Agenda:      
    
There are many books, articles and documentaries on this particular disturbing part of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's history. The mere fact that it's former and most famous director J. Edgar Hoover would circumvent the United States Constitution, the highest law of the land and pervert its meaning (what it stands for, the protection of freedom and liberty from governmental intrusion and abuse) to feed his personal agendas is a very scary and hurtful thing. I along with many of my fellow Americans especially my second favorite President after Barack Obama "John F. Kennedy" realize that these high position offices of trust and integrity should not be used as arenas, a battleground for one's personal belief or to be used as stepping stones to advance the personal agenda's of it's heads.      
      
Below is a well explained summary taken from Wikipedia of J. Edgar Hoover's Cointelpro legacy:      
      
In 1956 Hoover was becoming increasingly frustrated by Supreme Court decisions that limited the Justice Department's ability to prosecute people for their political opinions, most notably communists. Some of his aides reported that he purposely exaggerated the threat of communism to "ensure financial and public support for the FBI." At this time he formalized a covert "dirty tricks" program under the name COINTELPRO.      
      
This program remained in place until it was revealed to the public in 1971, after the theft of many internal documents stolen from an office in Media, Pennsylvania, and was the cause of some of the harshest criticism of Hoover and the FBI.        
      
COINTELPRO was first used to disrupt the Communist Party, where Hoover went after targets that ranged from suspected everyday spies to larger celebrity figures such as Charlie Chaplin who were seen as spreading Communist Party propaganda, and later organizations such as the Black Panther Party, Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Southern Christian Leadership Conference and others. Its methods included infiltration, burglaries, illegal wiretaps, planting forged documents and spreading false rumors about key members of target organizations.        
      
Some authors have charged that COINTELPRO methods also included inciting violence and arranging murders. In 1975 the activities of COINTELPRO were investigated by the United States Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities, called the Church Committee after its chairman, Senator Frank Church (D-Idaho), and these activities were declared illegal and contrary to the Constitution.        
      
Hoover amassed significant power by collecting files containing large amounts of compromising and potentially embarrassing information on many powerful people, especially politicians. According to Laurence Silberman, appointed Deputy Attorney General in early 1974, FBI Director Clarence M. Kelley thought such files either did not exist or had been destroyed. After The Washington Post broke a story in January 1975, Kelley searched and found them in his outer office. The House Judiciary Committee then demanded that Silberman testify about them.      
      
In 1956, several years before he targeted King, Hoover had a public showdown with T.R.M. Howard, a civil rights leader from Mound Bayou, Mississippi. During a national speaking tour, Howard had criticized the FBI's failure to thoroughly investigate the racially motivated murders of George W. Lee, Lamar Smith, and Emmett Till. Hoover wrote an open letter to the press singling out these statements as "irresponsible".
