Ex-FBI Agent breaks the silence on Leonard Peltier and COINTELPRO w/ Coleen Rowley

The first FBI agent close to the Leonard Peltier case is calling for his freedom. Coleen Rowley recounts, in this wide-ranging and exclusive interview, her time as an agent in the Minneapolis field office. For nearly 50 years, the FBI has indoctrinated its agents on a specific version of events that led to Leonard Peltier’s arrest, conviction, and imprisonment. The mentality then, Rowley argues, is little different than the mentality today. That’s why she decided to break the silence and is calling on President Joe Biden to grant Leonard Peltier executive clemency.

Rowley gives us an insider’s view of the FBI and how the dark and violent history of COINTELPRO, which targeted civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. and social movements like the Black Panthers and AIM, didn’t end in 1971. It morphed and evolved over the years and continued well into the U.S. war on terror. Despite attempts at reform and accountability, the FBI continues its ongoing persecution of political prisoners like Leonard Peltier and the unarmed Water Protectors at Standing Rock.

This is a preview of a longer conversation. Watch the entirety through the video edition on The Red Nation Podcast YouTube channel or subscribe to Patreon for as little as $1 to listen to the audio.

🚨 Special Announcement 🚨

We are writing to make a small but significant announcement about our Patreon membership pricing. As you know, the money we collect through Patreon is used to support the diverse projects of The Red Nation and its media arm, Red Media. We appreciate each and every single donation, and we thank you all sincerely for helping us in our mission to create a Native media platform.

When we first launched our Patreon page, we were happy to offer the lowest bar of entry possible ($1). That our Ruggit Prole tier is our most popular is a fact we are proud of! However, as you already know, the global financial crisis has touched virtually every corner of the world economy and the cost of living has shot up dramatically--including for our employees.

For this reason, the Board of Directors of Red Media has voted to raise the basic membership tier to $2. Starting February 1st, anyone signing up for Patreon at the Ruggit Prole tier will be charged $2 a month or about $20 a year if they choose the annual payment option.

If you are already a Patron, what does this mean for you? The short answer is nothing. For those of you who have signed up at the $5 level and up, nothing will change. That also goes for everyone at the $1 level; you will not lose access to any bonus content. Although new patrons will no longer be able to sign up after Feb.1, your access to bonus content will not be affected. However, if you do choose to cancel your pledge, you will not be able to sign back up at the $1 level should you want to do so in the future. With that being said, we do encourage you to consider raising your pledge to $2 if you can afford it.

For those of you who aren't Patrons and are considering signing up, now is the time before the price goes up! There is a ton of fantastic bonus content behind the paywall awaiting you.

We thank all of you for your ongoing support.

yours sincerely, The Red Media Team
