This song is about the fbi's program cointelpro, started in the 1950s and ending in the 1970s, that was responsible for controlling and elimating "threats" to the status quo. The program originally was developed to thwart perceived Communist action, but expanded to include the rights for women movement, the anti-war movement, and the civil rights movement, as well as other "dangerous activity". The song specifically refers to the fbi's involvement in the attempted control of the movements involving Martin Luther King, Jr. And Malcolm X.
