My First remembrance of Elaine brown was while I was conducting security for Elrage Cleaver, October 1968?. After Elrage gave a rousing speech at Pauley Pavillion, UCLA, this girl came to the security gate crying and begging to meet Elrage.пїѓпѕ‚пї‚пѕ пїѓпѕ‚пї‚пѕ  She was escorted to Bunchy Carter, whom I was standing with and he began to question her. She said that she was Elaine brown and was in awe of Elrage and wanted to meet him. Bunchy arraged the meeting after consulting w/Elrage.пѕ   During that period, I was assisting Bunchy w/developing his security forces and techniques and made note of this breech of protocol?.(Elrage later explained that she only wanted him to fuck her and he saw it as his duty to implement his "Dick Power" program).
The next time I remember seeing Elaine was a couple of m onths later because it'd been reported to me that she was John Huggins' new lover while his wife Erika was pregnant . At that time Elaine was dubbed as another girl who wanted to have sex w/men in leadership positions which placed her in a higher suspicion in my security files. Bunchy and I were sharing an apartment and I remember that night we discussed John Huggins' relationship w/Elaine and how displeased Bunchy was w/John's sexual activities w/this girl because Bunchy felt very close to Erika and didn't want her to find this out.
пѕ I had no idea that but a few weeks after this (1/17/69) on the campus of UCLA at a carefully pre-arranged* meeting between the US group and the Panthers, that elaine brown would incite a ruckus by slapping one of the US members whom she also had sexual relations with, then ran to John Huggins screaming that "She'd" been assaulted by this US member! John Huggins immediately pulled a 357 magnum from his waist and shot at the US member who returned fire resulting in Huggins and Bunchy's deaths ! ! 
During the police investigation, Elaine brown lied and wrongfully attested that the Steiner Brothers had murdered Bunchy and John w/out provocation. She then continued this lie all the way to the witness stand in LA Superior court resulting in the wrongful conviction of 1 st degree murder of George and Larry Steiner who are still being persecutedпѕ  till this day. (her testimony a matter of public record).
The pandemonium and turmoil that ensued the death of our most revered leader Bunchy, made it nearly impossible to get hold of the raging fratricidal situation but as soon as the smoke began to clear. the pieces began to fall into place clearly implicating elaine brown as the instigator of the entire deathly drama !пѕ  This information was known to me "Prior" to my agreement to continue Bunchy's program in the capacity of Deputy Minister of Defense of the Liberation Forces there in Southern California . So it is impossible for Elaine to have joined any formation of which I was in charge as I was very meticulous/selective re new membership . Futher, I am sure that we never permitted membership to ANYONE who testified for the pig so-called justice system as they were known, as "Snitches and/or "Rats".
My security reports were sent to various leaders in the movement but was continually watered down by those "Leaders" who had become victim to elaine's sexual manipulations. Each time I received reports of elaine brown popping up in Oakland, Chicago, Connecticutt, etc., I'd act quickly to banish her and I'd then render whatever form of discipline necessary to those who'd hosted her. Our main obstacle in handling this at that time was the sad alienation of Elrage who had by then fled and was our International Ambassador and was adamant in giving Elaine brown "another chance ". So it was decided that she would be sent to work w/Elrage and she'd finally be out of our hair.
Elrage told me years later that that was the biggest mistake he'd made while there cuz as soon as she got to Algeria, unity began to crumble, and before he could rectify the situation, Elaine was gone.пѕ  It was now 1970 and Huey had just been released. Elaine somehow ended up right in Huey's bed and as Huey told me in 1988, "She kept cocaine and sexy women on him everyday/night". Huey also admitted that it was Elaine who'd inflamed his hatred against Elrage resulting in the infamous phone call that marked a clear split in the top leadership of пѕ that important sector of the Black Liberation Movement.
пѕ During that stint in Quentin 1988, Huey refused to leave the prison unless I was released first because he stated that he had ordered key exculpatory witnesses not to testify on my behalf because he was misled to believe what agents like Elaine brown wanted him to believe. I remember Huey reflecting on the strange fact that was revealed in my trial that Elaine brown's name was on th e receipt from the paint shop that changed the color of my car and how that bit of info opened his ever-drugged eyes to suspect. Then he told me that he learned that she'd testified for the pigs lying on those brothers, as he put it, when everyone knew that they did not shoot Bunchy nor John. He said it took months for him to raise out of that euporia and realize that he was surrounded by agents. He then put Elaine in his "Panther Jail" but was over taken by a barrage of "Advisors who'd constantly tell him that he was going thru a severe stage of paranoia?." Next thing he said he remembered w as that
 Elaine was out of his jail and had gotton Masai to get her back in the mix?.
All throughout these conversations, Huey made sure to mention Elaine brown's complicity as an fbi agent, including her occasional meetings w/the "same white dude". I remember stopping him to say that way back in 1970, Nsondi (aka Sandra "Red" Pratt) was the first to report to me about elaine's meeting w/this white fella at a LAX hotel.пѕ  We now know that the white dude was the same "Kennedy" super-mind-control CIA chief of psy-war operations against many key forces for Black Liberation?including SCLC !
There is much much more irrefutable evidence that continues to expose this sad sally for the COINTEL conspirators but do not lose sight of the fact that this girl  Elaine was brought to ucla for psychiatric treatment which seems to be a pre-requisite for patsies of elaine's type and that she was but one, tho a very important one, of so many others who were used, unwittingly, as moles, provocateurs, et cet ad nauseam.
It's a low down dirty and a doggone shame that here in 2007 elaine is still being used to now attack the beautiful Fighter for True Justice Cynthia Mckinney and if there is more I can do to assist, don't hesitate to let me know.

ELAINE BROWN WITHDRAWS FROM GREEN PARTY PRESIDENTIAL RACE
Renounces Green Party Membership
_____________________________

OPEN STATEMENT TO THE GREEN PARTY

       As of today, I am no longer a candidate for the Green Party nomination
for president of the United States, and I hereby resign from all
affiliation with the Green Party.  I believe the leadership of the Green
Party of the United States has been seized by neo-liberal men who
entrench the Party in internecine antagonisms so as to compromise its
stated principles and frustrate its electoral and other goals.  They have
made it impossible to advance any truly progressive ideals or objectives
under the umbrella of the Green Party, and, thus, rendered it
counterproductive for me to go forward as a Green Party candidate or
member.

        I believe this  small clique that has captured control of the Party has
transformed it into a repository for erstwhile, disgruntled Democrats,
who would violate the Party's own vision and sabotage the good will and
genuine commitment of the general membership.  Indeed, these usurpers
foster a reactionary agenda, supporting partisans in and backers of the
Bush wars and disavowing the Party's more progressive tenets in favor of
promoting high-profile participation in the politics of the
establishment.

        This became clear to me almost from the moment I announced my candidacy
in February of 2007.  I intended using my campaign to bring large numbers
of blacks and browns into the Party, particularly from the hood and the
barrio—as would come to be reflected in the lists of supporters and
delegates I've submitted in connection with my candidacy.  As I asserted
I would use the respect I enjoyed as a former leader of the Black Panther
Party to do so, some in the hierarchy seemed utterly fearful of the
prospect of a massive influx of blacks and browns into the Green Party. 
Soon, there was wide circulation of false rumors that I was a one-time
"government agent," which was intended to discredit my history in the
Black Panther Party so as to undermine my potential influence.—And, since
then, I have had to devote significant time and energy to addressing
these lies.—What this effort revealed, though, was how the Green Party,
while advocating "diversity," remains dominated by whites.  Indeed, the
Party is able to count less blacks, browns and natives in its membership
than our national population percentages and certainly less than the
Democrats themselves.

        In effect, the present Green Party leadership promotes a kinder, gentler
capitalism, a moderated racism, an environmentally-sustainable globalism,
which I cannot support.  They are dedicated to the underside of the
Party's platform, which falls short of repudiating the capitalist state,
source of all the social ills the Party would address.  They equivocate
by promoting "an economic alternative to corporate capitalism and a
socialist state," advocate a "re-formulation" of the IMF, NAFTA, so
forth, and advance the institution of "stakeholder capitalism."

        On the other hand, they demonstrate a willingness to override the best of
the Party's platform.  My sharp criticism of high-profile Party members'
support for the "three-strikes" crime laws, the sole basis for the
inhumane mass incarceration of people in the United States, particularly
blacks—the repeal of which the Party's platform advocates—has been met
with outright enmity.  And, to divert attention from this and other
critical issues, the leadership has employed chicanery in their
promulgation of defamatory lies about me—which they finally extended to
character assaults on my supporters and critics of their
unscrupulousness.

        It is my sincere belief that the Green Party as it now exists has no
intention of using the ballot to actualize real social progress, and will
aggressively repel attempts to do so.  To remain in the fray or in the
Party, then, would require a betrayal of my lifelong and ongoing
commitment to serving the interests of black and other oppressed people
by advancing revolutionary change in America.
