Chapter 3 traces the historical continuities from 1960s and 1970s COINTELPRO surveillance and infiltration of the Black Panther Party and other organizations to forms of surveillance, infiltration, and entrapment in the contemporary terror-industrial complex of the global war on terror. The chapter details an ongoing structure of white supremacy, settler colonialism, and racial capitalism that demonstrates how government surveillance and infiltration policies (the state's desire to know, control, and destroy), as well as Muslim alliances and solidarities impact which forms of Muslim life and knowing survive and which do not.
