They are Among Us

COINTELPRO, Snitches, and The Hidden War on Black Power

In They are Amongst Us: Seeing, Surviving, and Thriving in a World of Hidden Threats, Asinine AF exposes the hidden battles waged against Black leadership and community movements, from COINTELPRO to modern intelligence-led policing. This book reveals that the threats are not always outsiders—they can be your friends, your spiritual leaders, so-called brothers and sisters in the struggle, family, and even the toughest figures in your community.

Through a fusion of historical narrative, firsthand accounts, and spiritual guidance, Among Us teaches readers how to recognize infiltration, disruption, and sabotage while building resilient, empowered communities. With Ancestor Interludes, Case Files, Red Flag detection tools, operational security checklists, and actionable Field Assignments, this book is both a historical exposé and a practical playbook.

It equips organizers, activists, and everyday community members with the knowledge, strategies, and spiritual grounding to survive and thrive amidst forces designed to divide, discredit, and destroy righteous movements.
