WikiLeaks published a leaked email between two Stratfor employees from 2011 that shows the company may have an interest in who killed Tupac Shakur. Stratfor is an American-based geopolitical intelligence company that offers their services to those willing to pay for their strategic planning, proactive security programs, threat forecasting, and critical investment and or operational advice.
So it makes sense they’d be interested in anything interesting that’s happening worldwide, whether the information they get is from public or private sources. From the looks of the company’s emails, it reminds me of a privatized version of the CIA but without the reading room, so that’s unfortunate because I’d love to read the reports they used to compile information for their clientele.
Getting back to Tupac, he was shot in Las Vegas after a Mike Tyson fight on September 7th, 1996 by a gunman who fired four rounds into him, two of which struck him in the chest. Six days later, Shakur succumbed to the wounds received on that fateful day after the removal of his right lung which cascaded him into respiratory failure, and then cardiac arrest. Conspiracy theories abound as they tend to with high profile assassinations, yet to this day, his murder remains an unsolved mystery.
A Stratfor employee titled the subject line of the email: "FBI files on Tupac Shakur murder show he received death threats from Jewish gang." The email includes a link to a Haaretz article published on the same day the email went out. The article shines a light on an FBI report that exposes a protection racket combined with an extortion scheme that the Jewish Defense League used for targeting the rappers Tupac Shakur and Easy E.
In 2001 the FBI classified the JDL as a right-wing terrorist group. If you click on this link — you can access the relevant files mirrored on theblackvault.com, the FBI released those because of a FOIA request. Beginning on page 20 and moving forward into the 113-page document it delves into the JDL conspiracy to extort money from the two rappers.
Whether we’ll find out who killed Tupac this late in the game, well, your guess is as good as mine. I’m reporting on this WikiLeak because I don’t even recall the headline from 2011 and was unaware that the JDL was targeting musical artists with death threats and protection offers. It brings a whole new meaning to Randy Quaid’s claim about "star whackers."
