How the FBI Killed Tupac Shakur

a thread by @bigmadcrab, based on the works of John Potash + Nick Broomfield

After a three-decade long investigation, last thursday news media broke the news that the FBI had raided the home of Duane Keith Davis, 60, in Henderson, Nevada. Duane Davis — also known as Keffe D — has already confessed to his involvement in the killing of Shakur while being questioned in connection with the murder of Biggie Smalls.

Now lead detective Greg Kading, seems to allege that Keffe D’s blatant confessions make him a reasonable suspect. But there’s way more to this story than Kading will suggest to the media. His colleague Russell Poole, who would die later in a sheriffs office of a heart attack in 2015, uncovering deep federal ties to the conspirators surrounding Tupac during the time.

LAPD is saying they have seized hard drives and laptops in relation to the murder. In 1996. I ask the audience, what valuable information could you possibly find on a HARD DRIVE when the murder occurred in 1996? A lot about these recent details reeks of a coverup, and looks like they are looking to finally close this case so people can forget about it.

Through this thread, I intend to make the case that the FBI was directly involved in the murder of Tupac Shakur, and was manipulated by outside forces throughout almost his entire adult life.

• Before his early death at the age of 25, Tupac had produced enough music for over a dozen CDs, several of which topped billboard charts, and even starred in 6 movies

• Mainstream media wont tell you a lot about Tupac's history , but his experience with activism goes all the way back to him at 18 years old, when he started the New Afrikan Panther Party, in inspiration of his mother Afeni and the Black Panthers.

• Here is Tupac at just 18 years old on Radio Free Georgia in 1989 talking about grassroots movements:

• Tupac was mentored by Afeni and the Black Panthers throughout his life, Chokwe Lamumba (NAPO's national chairman) became Tupac's national lawyer and business manager

• Sometime between Tupac’s 1st and 2nd CD Release, he would visit his imprisoned stepfather, Matula Shakur to devise their “Thug Life” plan to both appeal to and politicize gangs.

• Tupac and his father would soon develop a "Code of Thug Life" to help decrease the damage done by gangs to their communities.

• This was all in part of Tupacs extended Panther family plan to get the nation's largest warring gangs, the Bloods and the Crips, to call peace truces with each other and start engaging in leftist activism. It was so successful it spread nationwide with Tupac directly aiding them

• Tupac would hold truce picnics with gang leaders and was able to neutralize massive drug lords like the NY Latin Kings, to halt drug dealing and turn to leftism:

• You can probably recognize why Tupac became a target of COINTELPRO, because drug trafficking and organized crime is so central to the US economy, that the stock market would literally collapse. Drug money is often used as money laundering for restaurants and banks.

• Former CIA Director George Bush held massive federal forces against the gang truce movement. Congress formed a literal committee investigating "the dangers of radical political rap". They then transferred Tupac's father Matula, into a maximum security prison due to his influence

• Several attempts were made on Tupac's life prior to his death including two off-duty Atlanta cops using a gun stolen from an evidence room to shoot at him:

• There is also plenty of evidence to suggest Haitan-born Jacques Agnant was an undercover officer, including an entire rap sheet of dismissed charges. He would be the one to set up a sexual liaison with Ayanna Jackson who would later accuse him of "forced sex"

• Police erased taped evidence that would have exonerated Tupac. While they ultimately found Tupac not guilty on all major charges, a jury convicted him of "touching her butt against her will" after consensual sex. For this, they gave him 4 YEARS IN PRISON while he sits on appeal

• During his 11 months in jail, Tupac would undergo penal coercion in the form of extreme psychological manipulation coupled with COINTELPRO tactics, such as escalating the East vs West Coast Rap War (against Biggie Smalls, who was his friend) and also forcing him to sign the Death Row Records contract while in jail.

• Death Row Records was littered with police officers, particularly Reggie Wright Jr., who's father was head of the police gang division in the Compton area. Detective Russell Poole asked about the officers in Death Row. Superiors said they are considered "covert agents"

• Russell Poole exposed police reports of Death Row Records participating in both drug and gun trafficking, but were never charged. They also tried to end the gang peace truce. Death Row also produced the most negative 2Pac songs, mostly promoting the use of drugs and the rap war.

• Award winning filmmaker Nick Broomfield presents police detective Russell Poole in a press conference about his superiors blocking an investigation and his beliefs that his fellow officers aided in both Biggie and Tupac’s murders:

• Russell Poole would later die of a heart attack in 2015. Detective Poole’s investigation would reveal reports of Death Row’s drug trafficking and would cite the dozens of officers in the company, including Reggie Wright Jr. There are actually some theories ruminating that Poole actually may have been murdered, but there is no way to confirm.

• By the summer of 1996, Tupac would finally fulfill his Death Row Records contract and start his OWN record company, Euphanasia. Tupac would clean up his act by majorly decreasing his drug and alcohol use, and later get engaged to Quincy Jones’s daughter, Kidada Jones

• Former NY Black Panther Jamal Joseph stayed close with Afeni and Tupac Shakur, and corroborates the belief that Knight and others influence Tupac into doing drugs to manipulate him and take him down as he was leaving Death Row to become a more sober and positive leader.

• A Death Row Records guard Kevin Hackey (who was also working for the FBI) warned Tupac NOT to attend a Mike Tyson boxing match on September 7, 1996 in Las Vegas. Death Row fired Hackey immediately after learning about the warning.

• Tupac would then go to Las Vegas that night and get shot in a drive by incident. Hackey said he had documents to prove that the FBI was INSIDE Tupac’s motorcade the night of the incident, and watched as a car pulled up to Tupac’s motorcade in Las Vegas and fatally shot him.

• Filmmaker Broomfield reported on US Congressional Concerns about “radical political rap” years before Tupac’s death, and included Hackey’s statements that the FBI at the very least sat there watched Tupac’s murder:

A lot of this is sourced from both John Potash’s book “The FBI War on Tupac Shakur” and Nick Broomfield’s 2002 documentary “Biggie and Tupac”. I hope this served as a cohesive narrative/summary of the truth behind Tupac’s murder. Or, at the very least, a simple layout of the sequence of events.

Either way, at the end of the day, having the LAPD and FBI the ones investigating this is like asking the robber to investigate the robbery.

I promise mainstream media will NEVER bother to tell you the truth.

Perhaps I was blind to the facts, stabbed in the back
I couldn't trust my own homies just a bunch a dirty rats
Will I, succeed, paranoid from the weed
And hocus pocus try to focus but I can't see

And in my mind I'ma blind man doin' time
Look to my future 'cause my past, is all behind me
Is it a crime, to fight, for what is mine?
Everybody's dyin' tell me what's the use of tryin'

I've been trapped since birth, cautious, 'cause I'm cursed
And fantasies of my family, in a hearse
And they say it's the white man I should fear
But, it's my own kind doin' all the killin' here

I can't lie, ain't no love for the other side
Jealousy inside, make 'em wish I died
Oh my Lord, tell me what I'm livin' for
Everybody's droppin' got me knockin' on heaven's door

And all my memories, of seein' brothers bleed
And everybody grieves, but still nobody sees
Recollect your thoughts don't get caught up in the mix
'Cause the media is full of dirty tricks
