As most people know from documentation, The Black Panthers started there first generation in the early 60s'. This first Generation was more like an AfroCentric Movement with the Dashiki's that were trying to expand the consciousness of young black men. Similar to what the Nation Of Islam does... Now, they started a good foundation, but the problem with them was that they were too much mist and not enough fist. The Other Extreme of this came about in 1969 with adequate fist but not enough mist to balance out the individuals that were easily impressionable by infiltration, corruption, get rich schemes.


That the CointelPro used head by J.Edgar Hoover "Illuminati Puppet" to Neutralize any efforts of Good that The Black Panther Movement was diligently representing... The CIA accomplished this by giving certain individuals within the movement financial kickbacks and other various rewards for "selling out their brothers" to the Illuminati Agenda.


This was further Promulgated in the 70's and 8O's by infesting the poverty stricken neighborhoods with Crack, Arms, and organizational ideas of Radicals that would further destroy the Panther Movement. They effectively did this by helping create the "Crip Machine"


.. Now the Crip Machine first started out by some individuals named: Stanley Tookie Williams, And Raymond Washington ..

⚫ ]


There whole goal was to emulate their older brothers, cousins, and sisters of the 2nd Generation of Panthers. They further emulated this style by their beret hats, and their favorite style of dress, Black Leather Jackets.. Raymond and Stanley wanted to create a 3rd Generation of Quasi-Political Groups within their neighborhood.... Their Group was called the "Avenue Cribs". Because of their youth and immaturity they were quickly outnumbered by youths that wanted to spread this idea but simply get into trouble via, robbing people, killing people for material goods and the like...
The '''Crips''', originating in ], ], are one of the largest, most violent and most notorious of ] in the ]. They have been involved in murders, robberies and drug dealing in the ] area. The Crips are mostly identified by the blue color worn by their members (most Crip sets have 2 colors, not necessarily blue). What was once a single gang is now a large number of sets in the Los Angeles area. Also, in several U.S. and Canadian cities other than Los Angeles, there are "copycat" Crip gangs. The gang is largely composed of ]s in Los Angeles County, but is ] in many other areas (e.g. ]), where "satellite" Crip gangs are present. The gang has an intense rivalry with the ]. They are also known to feud with ] gangs.


The FBI/CointelPro/Media quickly caught onto this 3rd generation of quasi-political youths and started promoting the Crib Machine in their Image.. The way the word Crib got transferred to Crip, happened in this fashion..
==History of the Crips==
The Crips were founded by ] and ]. Williams argued that the two established the gang after they became fed up with random violence in their neighborhood. Law enforcement officials dispute this, pointing to the extremely large number of violent crimes involving the gang members, even in early years.


There would be agents that would whisper things into these youths years about how they should organize better...
Along with friends, Williams and Washington gathered with the initial intent of continuing the revolutionary ideology of the ]. These aspirations were unendurable because of a general lack of political leadership and guidance. Washington and Williams were never able to develop an agenda for social change within the community and instead became obsessed with protecting themselves from other gangs in the community.
The original name of the gang founded by ] in ] at the age of 15 was the ''Baby Avenues'', derived from a gang of older boys in the 1960s, named the ''Avenue Boys'' with their turf on Central Avenue in South Los Angeles. This evolved to ''Avenue Cribs'' and then ''Cribs'' as nicknames for the age of the members. The name ''Crips'' was first introduced in the ''Los Angeles Sentinel'' newspaper in a description by crime victims of young men with canes, as if they were crippled. Though there is some discussion that it may have initially been a simple spelling mistake, the name stuck.


They accomplished this by using "Double Coat" crips that weren't of the Highest Good"
In addition to co-founding the gang in ], Williams started his own gang called the ''Westside Crips''. The Crips became popular throughout southern Los Angeles as more youth gangs joined it; at one point they outnumbered non-Crip gangs by 3 to 1, sparking disputes with non-Crip gangs including the ], ], ] and ]. The Crips eventually became the most powerful gang in California. In response, all of the other besieged gangs, including the ], formed an alliance that later became the ].


The kids terrorizing the neighborhood aided by the CIA Infiltration of arms, drugs and the like.. This Caused a Split in the 3rdgeneration Panthers/ Cribs..
==Expansion==
In the ] Crips moved into the sale of ], a highly-addictive and inexpensive form of the drug ]. It was developed as a simpler alternative to the process of ], which necessitates the use of controlled and dangerous chemicals such as ]. Crack was easily marketed by the Crips to lower-income brackets.


So now you had two Factions of the Cribs warring with each other.
The Crips made enormous profits from selling crack and gathered the capital to advance themselves in other regional illicit drug markets. Throughout the 1980s and ] the Crips developed intricate networks with other gangs across America and neighboring countries.


The media/CIA/cointelpro/FBI furthered this manipulations by starting calling the Cribs , CRips '' Due to their violent nature, infighting, and secret society nature....
To stem violence between the Crips and Bloods, a peace treaty was recently negotiated, most notably in Watts, the treaty being largely based upon the ideals laid forth by original Crip co-founder Stanley Tookie Williams in his "]". Though violence levels have been reduced somewhat after the conclusion of this peace treaty, ] killings and warfare persist in heavily gang-controlled areas.


The FBI further infiltrated the "Crip Machine" by planting seeds in these youths ideas about how they should change their name from Crib to Crips because Harlem’s can rest in peace mafia was a legendary because of bumpy Ellsworth Johnson .. ..
==Crip on Crip Violence==
In ] another Crip set, the ] in ], was formed. After two years of peace an in-set dispute began between the Piru Street Boys and another Crip set which would later turn extremely violent when members of the Pirus were killed by their own allies. This battle continued until the mid ] when the Piru boys wanted to call an end to the violence and called a meeting with other gangs that were targeted by the Crips. After a long decision, the Pirus broke off all connections to the Crips and started an organzation later called the "]", and a great war began. Other beefs and feuds were started in the gang to popular misconception. Crip sets do not feud solely with Bloods, but also other Crip sets — for example, 83 (8 tray) gangster Crip and Rollin 60 Crip in South Central Los Angeles have had an ongoing feud since 1979 and currently have the biggest rivalry in LA. Crip on Crip violence is also found amongst ] (Rollin 20 Crip and Insane Crip), ] (Nutty Blocc Crip and Farm Dog Crip), and in ](Grape St. Watts Crip and PJ Watts Crip) Crip sets, just to name a few of the better known rivalries. Almost every Crip gang rivals another Crip gang.


In Watts, C.R.I.P. stood for Community restoration of projects, so the FBI got the idea from the community project and conveniently used it to change the name of the Cribs.. The further promulgated this idea by telling youths to change the name by saying hey" you got an organization here, call it Community , Revolution in Progress. They youths ate this up big time and then on the flip side of the coin the FBI Broadbushed the whole Crip Movement by stating how insane they were crippling people in news reports on TV and throughout the newspapers..
==Gang identification==
For many years, Crips were characterized by their tendency to wear blue in order to easily identify each other. One suggested origin of the selected color is traced to the school colors of ] in ] Another theory is the co-founder, ], had a good and close friend called "Buddha", who wore blue shirts, khakis, shoes, and a blue bandana from his back left pocket. When Buddha died, Williams made blue the Crip color in honor of Buddha. A particular set of Crips, the Grape Street Crips, have been known to wear purple in addition to blue. The SGC's, (Shotgun Crips), are separated into three sub-sets: the Nine, 139th street; the Foe, 134th street; and the Deuce, 132nd street in the city of Gardena, California and have been known to wear dark-green, the city color of Gardena, in addition to blue to show that the Shotgun Crips are from Gardena. Hoovers are known to favor in wearing orange, or baby blue. Crips also wear blue ]s and ] sport shoes (using the company moniker BK, which the Crips use as a ] meaning "Blood Killas"). They usually refer derisively to their rivals, the ], as "slobs."


They further destroyed anything Good Coming out of the Crips Movement by subtly influencing it to destroy its quasi-political ties and become a street gang... This was perfect for the FBI/CIA and they loved this.... They gave them mystery school ideas such as : Stars, numerology, pyramids, crescent moons, canes, alphabets, prayers, handshakes, secret words, rituals very synonymous to mystery school traditions..
In more recent years, however, the Crips have begun to cease the use of colors as a means of identification, since it is likely to draw attention from police. Methods such as the use of college sport team jerseys and hats are sometimes used, but in general, what set a certain gang member claims can be determined solely by their tattoos.


They also planted seeds to start wearing colors such as Blue.. This type of Freedom Movement- Street Gang Infiltration has worked Numerous times..
==Origin of the name "Crips"==
There have been many different explanations for the origin of the name of the gang:


Then once they saw that the mystery school/street gang infiltration worked they moved this onto other nations such as the Bloods, Folks, Peoples, ad infinitum..
*The most well-known theories tie the current name with "crib" or "crib street" (alluding to an actual street or the young age of the members at the time of the gang's founding).


This simply gives people an overview of a Freedom Movement/ and how the government uses infiltration, divide and conquer, problem reaction solution, and stepping stones to take anything that has an ounce of good and use with their advanced political/media/financial/mystery school means to destroy Freedom Movements that are in Progress..
*Crip or crib originates from the carrying of a cane or stick — ''Los Angeles Times ] ]'': "Word spread about the tough-looking young men, who some said carried canes and walked with a limp — cripples, or crips, they were called for short."


It is my Hope That The Freedom Technology Movement.... does not get infiltrated by their sick tactics.. Ritual and Symbolism is not bad in itself, We just have to smell these people a mile away when they try to infiltrate ...
*Mis-pronunciation of "The Crypts."


*The rumor that to get initiated into the gang, a person had to have crippled someone.


*Some alleged ]s for the name include:
:*Community (or California) Revolution In Progress.


⚫ -->
:*Community Resources for an Independent People
⚫ ]

*Crip meaning cradle to the grave. C standing for Cradle, RIP standing Rest In Peace, a common phrase inscribed on tombstones.

*'''C'''alifornian '''R'''evolutionary '''I'''ndependent '''P'''istol '''S'''langers is the meaning, mentioned in Crip's rap.

The blue bandanas worn by most Crip gangs.

Entertainers with Crip affiliations

Crips, hip-hop, and C-walk

Many popular rappers, in particular West Coast rappers, have close ties to Crips gangs in L.A. County. Snoop Dogg is a former member of the Rollin' 20 Crips in Long Beach (as are Warren G, Nate Dogg, and Goldie Loc), while WC has an affiliation with the 111 Neighborhood Crips in South Central Los Angeles. The late N.W.A member Eazy-E reportedly had ties to the Kelly Park Compton Crips. Recently signed G-Unit rapper Spider Loc is a member of the 97th Street East Coast Crips. However, there are also many rappers who are not members of Crips sets, yet take on traits of the Crip image and behavior because they hope to self-promote and sell records by doing so.

It is said that the popular hip-hop dance, the C-walk (Crip-walk), is meant to spell out one's set as an insult to rival gangs. On WC's song "The Streets" from his Ghetto Heisman album, he and Snoop Dogg rap about the C-walk's popularity in the mainstream, warning suburban teenagers and other non-gang members that it is a dance for Crips only.
