Baba Zak Kondo: Death of Detroit Red and the Resurrection of Malcolm X

[@SembeneNathanyahu]

Brother Malcolm's own words when asked what he would be willing to do to secure his freedom. "I'm the man you think you are. If you want to know what I'd be willing to do to secure my own freedom, figure out what you'd be willing to do to secure yours. I'd do the same thing, only more." The greatest leader of all time!!! @@@*** Sembene, in Chicago ***@@@

Why did the FBI protect the killers who left the scene? Were they informants? Did higher ranking NOI officials get assurances from the govt that the killers would be protected? The role of the FBI seems more active than just setting the stage and creating hostility just based on how the FBI restrained the investigation of the murder.

Get Baba Zak Kondo book, Assassination

[@rainfall1drop]

Does the book have the answer to that question? It's somewhat rude to know the answer to a question and instead of answering it say read this or that book.

[@TheShabazzProduction]

Real good stuff! They tried with great failure to intimidate Kondo at the debate with Conrad, and I was in the audience and I was a member of the Malcolm X Commemoration Committee, trust me we were prepared (the MXCC), to return fire that night. Thankfully nobody messed with Brother Zak that night, it would've been a bloody mess. Zak's lack of fear that night was amazing, he's nobody's sissy. Hostile NOI members can no longer come to events that people who respect Malcolm are at and attend with the premise that they don't use arms thinking Malcolm X respecters aren't getting the strap. It's best the NOI people coming to use scare tactics stay home. If they think people are just gonna sit in their seats and just let the FOI pounce on them, they are crazy. With this new gun law being passed EVERYONE is strapping up.

Thank you for this great discussion Kalonji and Baba Zak. What’s disturbing is that Farrakhan is constantly contradicting himself concerning Malcolm‘s death The nation of Islam continues teaching members its to hate Malcolm X.

[@kathleenx19]

One thing the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan does NOT do is contradict Himself. EVER. The Nation of Islam does not teach ANYONE to hate Malcolm X. On the contrary, he is shown a great deal of honor and respect for the good that he did as a student of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, as well as being a teacher and mentor of the Minister. As recently as 2-27-2022 during his lecture, The Swan Song, Minister Farrakhan spoke on Malcolm X. There was no hate, whatsoever. It's criminal to blatantly lie on and slander the name of a Good Man. How is something that NEVER happened, DISTURBING???

[@veronicaancrum4871]

@@kathleenx19 it’s on videotape Farrakhan “stating this is how a nation deals with a traitor” referring to Malcolm X. Now I know people in the nation and you can’t even discuss Malcolm X with them. Most weren’t even born when this happened. They hate Malcolm. Everything I stated is an accurate description because I’ve seen the evidence that you your organization still teaches its members to hate Malcolm X. He didn’t do anything to the Messenger that wasn’t honorable. The way Malcolm and his family was treated is still painful 55 years later. Even after his death some of his supporters were hunted down and killed like Leon Ameer the father of seven children at the age of 32. What’s disturbing is how organization that claims to be righteous would encourage its members to kill someone so beloved and then protect the killers.

Malcolm's going to Mecca in 1959 and Malcolm's getting sick in Egypt is two different time periods. Malcolm got sick in Egypt in 1964. And Malcolm's first visit to Mecca Arabia is in 1959. He declined Hajj because he felt his leader should be the first Muslim of the Nation of Islam to make Hajj. His getting sick in Egypt is just before his assassination by the Government of the United States. That's a 5 year difference between those 2 incidents. That's the facts. !!!!!

Our current project, “The Real Judas Factor: Unraveling The Mystery of the Murder of Malcolm X,” demonstrates that Malcolm X Scholarship has come to lack the rigor that is standard in other disciplines. The pillars of this field - Karl Evanzz, Zak Kondo, Manning Marable, Les Payne, Bruce Perry, and Peter Goldman - have taken scholarly liberties with the material that would be frowned upon in other fields. It is upon this foundation that the current Malcolm X Narrative is built. If “taking scholarly liberties with the Malcolm X material” was a person, it would be Zak Kondo. Kondo has been described as THE foremost scholar on the Assassination of Malcolm X. However, his account, Conspiracys: Unravelling the Assassination of Malcolm X, is anything but definitive. In fact, many of Kondo’s conclusions are demonstrably wrong. He is determined to prove that “As an organization, upon the orders of Elijah Muhammad the Nation of Islam were the killers of Malcolm X.” But in order to do this Kondo has engaged in some very suspect scholarly practices, not unlike Karl Evanzz. Kondo frequently misrepresents his sources, often by putting words in their mouth which they never uttered. In fact, Kondo MUSTmisrepresent his sources in order to make the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam guilty of Malcolm’s murder. The fact that he must engage in such academic mischief making in order to cement his charge against the NOI is proof of the charge’s bogusness. Zak Kondo’s conclusions are more bigoted ideology than rigorous scholarship. In regards the Assassination of Malcolm X, Zak Kondo’s credibility is compromised. Civil Rights attorney William Kunstler, who secured the Talmadge Hayer affidavits and filed a motion in 1977 to appeal the convictions of the now-exonerated Muhammad Aziz and Khalil Islam, reinvestigated the case and concluded: “The FBI, no question about it, [was responsible for the assassination of Malcolm X]...I don’t think Elijah [Muhammad] had anything to do with it whatsoever.” The learned attorney is right - more right than Zak Kondo. I never just say someone is wrong. I document it. PDF available at Academia.edu Dr. Wesley Muhammad

@Veronica Ancrum ... Speak for yourself. Only those who are bigoted ideologues agree with you. You can't disprove Dr. Wesley's forensic research. The same research that produced the evidence that exonerated Khalil Islam and Muhammad Abdul Aziz. Earlier you mentioned agents in the Nation Of Islam, well what black organizations and/or movements WERE NOT infiltrated by the FBI and/or local law enforcement. If you knew your history you would know we've always had stool pigeons, snitches, spies, traitors and sell-outs among us going back to slavery. Every slave rebellion or insurrection in America was put down because of a snitch or traitor. The Nation wasn't immune to infiltration. It was an FBI infiltrator that set up Fred Hampton's murder by the police. The man who was giving Malcolm mouth to mouth resuscitation was an FBI informant.
