It is an out right lie to say that the United States government assassinated Malcolm X.!
The Nation of Islam assassinated Malcolm X. and three followers of Elijah Muhammad were convicted for this heinous crime against our race by our own people!
Mr. Farrakhan is on videotape viciously condemning Malcolm X. and all that Malcolm X. spoke was the truth about Mr. Elijah Muhammad and his s*xual encounters with his young secretaries that he impregnated.

Harry, it's amazing how you are accusing the NOI of murdering Malcolm, yet I wouldn't be surprised if you were one of those knuckleheads who wated nothing to do with the knowledge Malcolm shared with us when he was alive.
Malcolm's assassination was greater and bigger than Islam. Malcolm's murder had everything to do with the government's concerted effort to avoid "a black Messiah".
When Elijah Muhammad suspended Malcolm from the NOI for 90 days following Malcolm’s public statements about the Kennedy assassination in November 1963 after Elijah gave Malcolm clear instructions not to say anything (positive or negative) regarding the assassination, Malcolm abided by that suspension.
Nonetheless, the suspension was extended and became permanent. Malcolm wanted to return to the NOI initially because his permanent suspension was unexpected (it caught Malcolm by surprise). Malcolm did write Elijah Muhammad a letter for reinstatement on the matter and shared with Elijah Muhammad his passion to rejoin, he didn't care what position Elijah offered him. However, for unknown reasons, those letters Malcolm wrote never reached Elijah Muhammad's hands. After several letters and no responses, Malcolm analyzed the situation and started out on his own course. Once he did this he did not turn back.
Meanwhile, J. Edgar Hoover was running a program called COINTELPRO (Counterintelligence Program), which was a secret, often illegal FBI campaign of surveillance and sabotage against a wide variety of right-and left-wing groups, including the Ku Klux Klan, the Black Panthers and the Fair Play for Cuba Committee. Among the key targets of COINTELPRO was the Civil Rights Movement, which largely emerged in 1955 with Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott. The Boycott was organized by Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., who was thrown into the national spotlight as a result.
COINTRELPRO feared an independent Malcolm, much more than a Malcolm that was controlled by Elijah Muhammad and the NOI. After Malcolm left the NOI, Malcolm forged friendships all over Africa and the Middle East, and they loved Malcolm. The moment Malcolm became an international figure, the government felt that Malcolm was getting extremely powerful and knew wayyyyyyy too much, so they began to plan his demise.
In Malcolm's autobiography with Alex Haley, Malcolm stated that he knew his assassination was inevitable and knew it was above and beyond Elijah Muhammad and the NOI. When Malcolm was poisoned in Cairo, Egypt he said, "My assassination is bigger than Islam."
Malcolm's assassination WAS INDEED bigger than Islam, even Kwame Ture (aka Stokely Carmicheal) spoke about how Malcolm's murder was the result of Cointelpro's concerted effort to avoid "a black Messiah".

COINTELPRO involved not only wiretapping, but as the investigation showed, attempts to disrupt, discredit, and defame perceived political radicals. Hoover targeted few figures as relentlessly as Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. The charge, Communist influence in the civil rights movement. This was the REAL REASON KING AND MALCOLM WERE ASSASSINATED!!!
