Yes, Fred Hampton's assassination was really, really interesting for anybody who read about political philosophy, or anybody interested with the concept of class struggle.
But i would be quite surprised if the hit on Huey was a government hit. His existence prevented another movement like the black panther to take place.
AIUI, Huey was murdered by someone in a crack gang. The CIA was fuelling the crack epidemic. I don't know how much tin foil it involves, but it seems plausible that the CIA used black on black crime to make sure no one cared about the murder.

I hadn't heard this, but I'm really not educated on the topic so that's not surprising.
I suppose geopolitically it’s a form of shit-testing. They are probing the limits. Any escalation to this inevitably will lead to war (if someone misjudges and goes after a US diplomat, or official).
And I wonder if the west is close to a misstep. Right now the US is killing Iranian generals and scientists with impunity. All these things have limits.
>but we’d really see a true shift in power when the mafia does it in broad daylight similar to the Khashoggi situation.
Why is this interesting? I personally find the assassinations of Fred Hampton and Huey Newton far more interesting.
Also, the alleged David Kelly and Jeffrey Epstein are curious since they were officially rules as suicide but many people don't believe that line.
