YouTube Description
as posted by the channelBy the late 1960s, the FBI had quietly labeled actress Jean Seberg a national security threat.
Internal memos were circulated across government agencies — slow, secret defamation pulled straight from J. Edgar Hoover’s playbook. Around the same time, Jean became pregnant. Because she was under surveillance, the FBI knew immediately.
Agents devised a plan to spread a false rumor: that the father of her child was Black Panther Party leader Masai Hewitt — another COINTELPRO target under scrutiny. The alleged connection would also implicate Elaine Brown, another prominent BPP figure and Jean’s close friend.
One rumor. Multiple targets. Maximum damage.
