>While Malcolm X became less radical after his visit to Mecca and departure from the Nation of Islam, MLK was becoming more radical by flirting with other civil rights movements such as the Africans and Palestinians

>Back in 1919-1920, Hoover's Bureau, in conducting its nationwide raids and arrests, “coordinated its work closely with a 250,000 member right-wing vigilante group, the American Protective League,” supported by business leaders. In later years Hoover continued to augment the FBI's spying networks and files with other business-supported organizations, above all the American Legion' and its postwar offshoot the American Security Council (ASC). The second major network supplementing the FBI was the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). According to its prominent critic Alfred M. Lilienthal, “the ADL... works closely with the Israeli intelligence agency, Mossad, and sometimes with the FBI or CIA.”

>At the onset of the Cold War, the ADL was running perhaps the largest private spy agency in America, regularly feeding the FBI information not only on anti-Semitic groups like the KKK and the American Nazi party, but also on Jewish leftists and members of the Communist Party... It supplied not only the FBI, but, according to the Congressional Record, the Commerce Department, which reviewed the files ofapplicants for government jobs, searching for “subversives.”... In the '50s and '60s, the ADL continued to penetrate and expose racist and fascist groups. It also championed the civil rights movement, speaking out for fair housing and against job discrimination. Yet as always, there was a darker side. The ADL spied on Martin Luther King and passed its files to J. Edgar Hoover's FBI, according to Henry Schwarz[s:lit]child, who was an ADL officer from 1962 to 1964 and is now an official with the ACLU
