I stumbled into this documentary about the kids who broke into a FBI office in 1971 and liberated a fuckton of files that led to the revelation of the COINTELPRO program.

Goes to show you what you can accomplish when you choose your collaborators carefully, and then simply keep your mouths shut. No-one was ever arrested and their identities only revealed 30 years later when they choose to go public.

Also, it must've been sweet to operate in the 1970's, before tedious security tech and the digital surveillance state made everything such a fuckin hassle.
