FBI to MLK: "You're an evil, abnormal beast."

You can't read this entire article and still wonder about the truths behind Rev. Wright's comments. I've commented a few times that I'd like to see our country go back and stand for what it used to stand for, now in hindsite I have to add . . . with a few exceptions.

Race is just a wedge issue our government uses to divide us so as to have their way with us. Its just industrial psychology taken to a national scale. We are easier to control and it makes governments job easier if we are fighting amongst ourselves.

If we can get a handle on this, we can take our country back. If we CAN'T get a handle on this, it's just more of the Oligarchy running things. And.....personally I think the Oligarchy is doing a very bad job.

Let me help you with this. Lou Dobbs is just dividing us with his illegal alien stuff!

race is a social creation. skin color is greatly related to eye pigmentation and other genes. we are all the same on a basic level.
find ways to connect rather than divide....

all those crazed lone gunman: like in JFK, Bobby Kennedy, MLK, John Lennon deaths.... were only patsies for those that need division to be profitable.

I think King's assassination was a C.I.A. hit.

i totally "would say" that 96th, but you said it so much better...
cheers

Yes, so true. Only one "race" - human.

People speculate about whether or not Dr. King was assassinated by the government.

Well, they seemed to be really, really worried about his activism! The FBI especially seemed to be really obsessed with this "most dangerous Negro." Is it really that hard to believe that if they were that terrified of King that they wouldn't feel justified in getting rid of him for the sake of national security?

Also, politicians are just people. Ordinary, fucked up people no more enlightened or tolerant than the rest of us. Haven't we seen in the last few years a dozen or more shocking scandals? Sex. Hookers. Senators molesting pages. Massive bribery scandals.

And then there's Bush who is literally working night and day with his lawyers trying to find legal ways to lynch, er, I mean "interrogate" brown skinned POW's at GitMo.

Politicians are just ordinary fucked up people who kissed enough babies to get into positions of authority. So why wouldn't a few nutjobs actually rise to positions of actual authority?

So is it really that hard to believe that the 50 year old white men in power in 1968 -- who grew up in the freaking 1920's and 30's! -- wouldn't really have some "backward" ideas about the role of African-Americans?

Like I said, we got hooker scandals, page molestation scandals, bribery scandals and we got Bush smiling ear-to-ear on TV and so proud of himself because he gets to break the legs of "evil" brown skinned Iraqi's who, eh, may or may not actually be guilty of anything. He wouldn't dream of doing that to a white suspect, but brown skinned suspects, no problem.

And Bush grew up in a supposedly MORE enlightened era than the folks in power at the time King was fighting for dignity and equality!

So, yeah, I think a couple racists bastards in government took it upon themselves to "solve" the King problem once and for all.

The sad thing is that it just doesn't shock me at all.

We would rather segregate or seperate ourselves thinking ourselves unique and different, but we can't deny we are all the same.

Lots of theories and conjectures above, but more informative is doing some research.
There is lots of solid information and research on theories of who really killed Dr. King. Both Coretta King and Martin's son Dexter, met with James Earl Ray and actively sought to have the case investigated more thoroughly.

The King Center website - www.thekingcenter.org is a good source for information on Dr. King's life and the continuation of his work.

Saw "BOBBY" last night.
The "angry lone nut who acts out for attention" myth is so weak that i really do not understand how it managed to mislead people 'til today.
Gandhi, JFK, MLK, John Lennon, Bobby ... many others.
People HAVE to know NOW.
I want to know NOW.
It's so sad that the greatest souls of our time have been assassinated and still truth is hidden from us.
We deserve to know the answers, we should stand up and firmly ask for them.

Transcript of King Family Press Conference on Trial Verdict - December 9, 1999

KING FAMILY STATEMENT ON THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT "LIMITED INVESTIGATION" OF THE MLK ASSASSINATION

ATLANTA . . . On behalf of The family of Martin Luther King, Jr, Martin Luther King III today issued the following statement on the U.S. Justice Department's release of its report on their "limited investigation" of recent evidence regarding the assassination of Dr. King.


"We learned only hours before the Justice Department press conference that they were releasing the report of their results of their "limited investigation," which covered only two areas of new evidence concerning the assassination of Dr. King. We had requested that we be given a copy of the report a few days in advance so that we might have had the opportunity to review it in detail. Since that courtesy was not extended to us, we are only able at this time to state the following:



1. We initially requested that a comprehensive investigation be conducted by a Truth and Reconciliation Commission, independent of the government, because we do not believe that, in such a politically-sensitive matter, the government is capable of investigating itself.



2. The type of independent investigation we sought was denied by the federal government. But in our view, it was carried out, in a Memphis courtroom, during a month-long trial by a jury of 12 American citizens who had no interest other than ascertaining the truth. (Kings v. Jowers)



3. After hearing and reviewing the extensive testimony and evidence, which had never before been tested under oath in a court of law, it took the Memphis jury only 1½ hours to find that a conspiracy to kill Dr. King did exist. Most significantly, this conspiracy involved agents of the governments of the City of Memphis, the state of Tennessee and the United States of America. The overwhelming weight of the evidence also indicated that James Earl Ray was not the triggerman and, in fact, was an unknowing patsy.



4. We stand by that verdict and have no doubt that the truth about this terrible event has finally been revealed.



5. We urge all interested Americans to read the transcript of the trial on the King Center website and consider the evidence, so they can form their own unbiased conclusions.



Although we cooperated fully with this limited investigation, we never really expected that the government report would be any more objective than that which has resulted from any previous official investigation. In a reasonable period of time, when we have had an opportunity to study the report, we will provide a detailed analysis of it to the media and on the aforementioned website."

I have wondered how the supposed assassin knew Dr. King was going to be on that balcony at that particular time. Was someone in Dr. King's own organization involved because they wanted him gone to take his place? Or did the FBI put someone in his organization to infiltrate it? I don't believe we will ever know the real truth behind this assassination, or Jfk's, or Rfk's...that is, unless the next generation demands it.

For those who didn't live through the assassinations of JFK, Malcolm, MLK, Jr., Mrs. Martin Luther King, Sr., and RFK, it is hard to understand how these violent acts that eliminated our inspiring leaders impacted our country.
Watch Z by Costa-Gravas and The Candidate with Robert Redford to get some idea about how powers behind the scenes manipulate people on the edge to enact their violent plans and assassinate leaders who propose change and threaten the status quo.
Read William Whyte's THE ORGANIZATION MAN writing.upenn.edu/~afilreis/50s/whyte-main.html for an understanding of how the corporate mind works and manipulates the masses through the media and propoganda.


Here's a 21st century take on THE ORGANIZATION MAN via Slate.com - http://www.slate.com/id/2706/

MLK posed (and, by way of legacy, still poses) a threat to the supremacist movement and he had to be stopped. In a way, it was one weapon that murdered him...with hundreds of thousands of fingers on the trigger.

Consider this; there are still people in our government, FBI and CIA who are just like that screw ball J. Edgar "Hitler" Hoover.

There is a serious problem with politicians, judges and all other people in positions of power who make their service to the public a personal issue with personal agendas.

I know a few people very much like J. Edgar Hoover. They seek power, they seek to manipulate people, perception and they have an agenda, and it's not a good one.

I wonder why Robert Kennedy went along with Hoover on tapping MLK. Perhaps, he figured the FBI would do it any way and then he'd be out of the loop.

It is still dangerous to work for peace.

allegory and the cave. Google it if you don't know what it is.

I look at this way MLK would not have been such a well known historical figure if it was not for all these people trying to bring him down.. alot of advancement comes out of adversity, I hear alot of "theories" when it comes to MLK but its history and he made such huge impact on history that we need to just focus on the positives things he did and leave the rest in the past.. I am not sure why this is always in the news.. Is there a deeper conspiracy in that???

new evidence are you joking, talk to any old black person anywhere in the US who served in the military.

any black person from the south. any part it don't matter.
its the same story.

hahahaha thats funny new evidence.

people still think the tuskeegee experiments were an urban legend.

horrible

you know whats fascinating? how out of touch with reality some of you are.
