The most common known snitch Is the so-called LAW ABIDING CITIZEN, who routinely
cooperates with the “Established Authority" out of a mis-placed, albelt condItion-
ed, sense of duty; And (genutnely) feel In their hearts that they ere doing’
the right thing. The Law Abiding Citizen views anyone who doesn't abide by the
laws set up and enforced by the established authority, as e CRIMINAL. Of cour-
se thelr definition of criminal - much ITke thetr views In general - 1s manu-
tectured end readily ptovtded for them by the Established Authority which, In
this Instance, Is the AnerIkkkan government.











The so-called Law Abiding Citizen (In this context) is a slave (mentally)« They
function, In most cases, as unvitting servants of the oppressive Amerikkkan
government. And because of their Induced state of (historical /ourstorical)
amnesia, they have forgotten that the government and Its repressive laws,
whlch they so obediently adhere to, are founded on the kidnap, rape, murder
and ensiavementcot Afriken people; Not to mention the mass slaughter of the
Natives (so-called Indians) and the Iilegal sefzure of thelr (this) lend,
thereby rendering the Amerikkkan government the archetypé or Original Crimi~
nal ~ vhich In turn gavesbirth to the so-called Law Ablding Citizen.-So, those
who comply with or abide by the vey laws contrived and perpetuated by the
Original Criminal Iiterally becomes agents of the original criminal - thus (pro=

oxy) criminals themselves.

In fact, many Black Liberation warrlors were ether assessinated or Imprison—
ed vith the collaborative efforts of SNITCHES. In many cases these snitches
were (strategically) Inflltrated Into Black Liberation organizations, viz

The Black, Panther Party, The Netion Of Islam, The Black Guerrilla Fently/Liberatton Army, The 5% i
Natton Of Gods & Earths, ot al. Some were moles who sat and grew within these Liber—

ation organizations and reported the plans and activities of these respective
organizations, to the established authorities. ‘Others were AGENTS PROVOCATEURS,
vhose sole purpose was to Initiate and agitate dissension, and to cause dis~
order within the renks. Also to provoke "trouble"; to In effect expose sald
orgenization(s) to being CRIMINALIZED, to Justify the government's aggressions

agatast them.

THE OPPORTUNIST SNITCH
The opportunist snitch Is one who 18 absotutely devotd of loyalty. S/he Is [
prone to betray anything and anyone to aggrandize him or herself. Such a sni~
In terms of comaltment. S/he acts, inherently,
as a double-agent; a chameleon, who blends In with his or her environment or
respective group, for PERSONAL favor. Much ITke the proverbial YARO-SLAVE in the
days of chattel slavery. On slave plantations the slaves vere recognized, In
three distinct categortes: THE FIELD-SLAVE, THE HOUSE-SLAYE and the seldom talked ab-
out YARD-SLAVE. There vas e clear cut distinction between the house-slaves and”
the tleld-slaves. Sut the yard-slave wes 2 bIt more difficult to figure out,
because of his many levels of transparency and felgned loyalty. For Instance
to galn favor with the slave master he would often snitch on the fleld-slaves*
plans to escape, planned rebellions, etc. Likewise, the yard-sleve would prom
vide the fleld-slaves with Information concerning the slave master's activit-
les. Of course the yard-slave was very surreptitious In his handling of both
parties. He. would often receive frivolous trinkets for snitching: A plece of
(fried) chicken, and maybe a (buttered) biscult. The YARO-SLAYE was dubbed such

because he functioned both characterIstically and IIterally between the house

Historically speaking, I+ wes the OPPORTUNIST SNITCH vho squealed on warrtor
ancestor Gabriel Prosser; A bold Black Freedom-Fighter, who was planning «
Massive slave revolt on plantations throughout the state of Virginia, back
In the 1800's. But It was halted before It could be fully carrfed out. The
slave master was tipped off, and Gabriel! vas charged with sedition, (mock]
tried, convicted and Immediately hanged.

HIs only crime was his desire to strike a mighty blow at the wretched slave
system. And for this, he wes betrayed by the opportunist snitch. Nonetheless,
some thirty years later, he gained redemption Incarnated In warrior ancestor
Nat Turner - who led a relatively successful revolt, In South Hampton, Virginia
It should be noted that Nat Turner was very meticulous In weeding cut and avo-
Ting snitches. Undoubtedly, a lesson learned from: his: courageous predecessor.

In thts day & time, and In this dog-eat-dog soclety (Amerikkka), the opportun-
Ist snitch Ts given more & more opportunity to snitch, with lesser & lesser
repercussion or puntshment. It Is often Iterated that we are Ilving In the
INFORMATION AGE, where INFORMANTS are In high’ demand, and, where + 2:2 Informat=
Ton can elther make you or break you (depending on who has It and how I+ Is
used).

The proliferation of snltching Is a direct reflection of this Information
Boom (and the demand for I+); espectally since INFORMATION, for the most part,
Is controlled by the government and Its many agencies (for Its benefit).
Therefore, the government breeds informants, whether with flnanctal Incent-
Ives, deception, torture or es a form of negotiation - espectally In getting
out of sovcalled Illegal situations where there are aultiple so-called perp-
etrators (In an alleged ert ‘In such situations I1es are always used to

The lack of punishments belng avarded to snitches Is even reflected. In the
government's protection of them, as It has grown ostensibly lax. There-used

with the government - hence "CONFIDENTIAL INFORMANT; and the “"HITNESS PROTECTION PRO-

solete - with the lack of repercussions meted out to snitches.








An example of this can be gleaned from the pages of recent Mafia history,with
Infamous snitch Sammy The Sul! belng @ saltent tigure for snitching on tancus
nob boss John Gotti. Sammy vas excused 647 thirteen (admitted) murders In ox~

In the mid 1800's, at the halght of the famous UNDERGROUND RAILROAD escape led by
warrlor ancestor Harrlet Tubman, et al. there arose many Opportunist Snitches
who attempted to selze upon the opportunity to gain favor (and other paltry
trinkets) from the slave master by divulging the Identities of the underground
allroad leaders and thelr escape routes. However, such snitches vere swiftly
punished or (In most cases) put to death. Such measures were not out of malice
but 2s a necessary move to protect all parties Involved, and to matntain an ab~
solute secrecy on the rallroad to freedom. For, faflure to do so would have

Simply put, an Informant Is the by-product of his/her environment; which then
begs the question of: ‘Who Is, It that creates and controls the conditions of






sald environment?! The answer 1s an obvious one, as It Is no big secret that
the white owned & operated Amerikkan government openly wields Its mantpulat-
Ive "power and Influence over the soclety.at large, and clearl'y prolong Its
position of power through the use of Intormants.

Nonetheless, even under an oligarchical, racist white power structure such as
there exists what Is commonly referred to as SUB-CULT-
WE. This so-called sub-culture encompasses the many respective ethnic groups
that comprises the Amertkkkan soclety, o+g+, CHINA TOWN, LITTLE ODESSA (RUSSIAN COMMU-
NITY), THE LATIN COMMUNITY, LITTLE ITALY, THE BLACK COLONY (THE HOCO/GHETTO), among others. And
within these respective so-called sub-cultural, ethnic groups, exists @ core
code of conduct that traditionally condemns snitching. This was especially so
In the Black colony: (once upon 2 time). The same for other soclal taboos that
occastonally Intiltrated the culture vid, but not necessarily ['Imited, to, the
various forms of media mentioned earller. .

thTS one (Amer tkkka),





But Judging from the exponential grovth and rapidity of snitching among Blacks
nowadays, we have cbylously abandoned our old traditions, thereby allowing the
anitch mentality to fester and permeete the culture. The conscious elders of
the community have been silent and Inactive In thelr condemnation of this she-
fnetul behavior, thus leaving the culture vulnerable to the repressive white
governmental structure, to be tashloned Into a snitch sub-culture - In service

of the white rulers.







On 8 more mundane level, & snitch can be created or wade - espectelly In @ so-
celled (common) criminal predicament - by coercion, trickery, tear, or plain
psychological manipulation. For Instance, recently, while reading @ Phile-
delphia Dally news paper, | cane across a very Interesting story ebout # young

on to report that the young woman (defendant) ves removed from her Jal! cell

er further steted.that: ‘It fs purported that she Is seeking to cut @ deal®. It wes lat-

which was +6 play upon the oversight of the casual reader. Teke notice of how
the word PURPORTED looks & sounds Iike REPORTED. But they ditter In meaning. PUR-

She felt Ike she was put Im @ DAWED-IF-1-D0 DAMMED-IF=I-DON'T situation which, wi-
