"How the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) engaged in framing political leaders and activists and how it has worked to contain, neutralize and destroy political organizations has been documented by a former FBI agent, M Wesley Swearingen, is his book FBI Secrets: An Agent's Expose.

Here is a relevant excerpt from that book:

In February 1968, Bobby Seale and Eldridge Cleaver planned the merger of the Black Panther Party with the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). Stokely Carmichael was designated as honorary Prime Minister of the Panthers, H. Rap Brown as minister of justice, and James Forman as minister of foreign affairs.

FBI officials saw a strengthening coalition within the black community that they felt had to be stopped immediately. The FB[[iframe]]d Stokely Carmichael as an informer for the CIA by planting an informant report in his car where the other members could find it, with the help of another FBI informer. The report was discovered and the Panthers sent a "hit team" after Carmichael, who as a result departed immediately for an extended period in Africa.

The FBI's COINTELPRO had successfully neutralized the coalition between the Panthers and the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee, instigated by Hoover's paranoia of African Americans, but the Panthers were gaining respect in the black community across the country. Hoover wanted the Black Panther Party neutralized immediately one way or the other.

In November 1968, Hoover wrote to the various FBI field offices in cities with growing Panther organizations that a serious struggle was developing between the Panthers and the United Slaves Organization. Hoover write that the struggle had reached such proportions that it was taking on the aura of gang warfare with threats of murder.

Then in December 1968, Hoover ordered these offices to submit letters every two weeks outlining the counter-intelligence measures that were being taken to neutralize the Black Panther Party. These bi-weekly letters were to list the accomplishments achieved in attacking the Panthers.

Soon after I had been assigned to the Los Angeles racial squad, I was told by a fellow that another agent on the squad, Nick Galt, had arranged for Galt's informers in the United Slaves to assassinate Alprentice Carter, the Panther's Los Angeles minister of defense, and John Huggins, the deputy minister of Information. Following Galts's instructions, informants George Stiner and Larry Stiner shot them to death on the UCLA campus on January 17, 1969.

I had thought Joel Ash had been kidding me because this was beyond any corruption or wrongdoing that I had witnessed or heard by FBI agents.

I later reviewed the Los Angeles files and verified that the Stiner Brothers were FBI informants. I knew they must be real informants, even though the informant program was 75% phony, because Hoover wanted the Panthers in jail or dead. That was why he had ordered bi-weekly reports from the field about the campaign against the Black Panther Party.

Darthard Perry, a self-admitted and publicly acclaimed informer for the FBI, filed an affidavit in a Black Panther Party lawsuit against the government charging that he knew that the United Slaves members who were responsible for the murders of the Panthers were FBI informers. Perry claims that the murders of the Panthers were committed by the Stiner Brothers, who were convicted and sent to jail in 1969, and their subsequent escape in the 1974 prison break from San Quentin, were engineered by the FBI. I then discovered the unthinkable, that FBI informants had actually been instructed by FBI agents to assassinate several other Black Panther members.

As of 1992, the Stiner brothers were still listed as fugitives. Either the FBI has disposed of the Stiners or they are in the FBI's witness protection program. I know that Darthard Perry was an FBI informant and that he is telling the truth about the FBI….

United Slaves member Bill Stark, an FBI informer, shot and killed Panther member Al Holt, another FBI informer, on March 14, 1969.
