Did you know that James Éarl Ray, the alleged assassin of MLK Jr., never had a trial? He quickly pled guilty, and all the exculpatory evidence never saw the light of day (until the 1999 civil trial that basically posthumously exonerated him).
That’s why government, media & history books will tell you Ray was the assassin. In reality, he was just a small cog and the patsy for a sophisticated operation that involved elements from the FBI, US military intelligence, Special Forces, the NSA, the ADL/B’nai B’rith, israeli intelligence, the jewish mob, the Dixie mafia, and Memphis PD. Listen to Dr. William Pepper explain how they manipulated Ray into pleading guilty to take the fall for it all.
Listen to how when Ray made a last ditch effort to get a trial, the judge mysteriously had a heart attack and was found dead with his head resting on Ray’s petition. Listen to the final surprise twist. Anyway, in unrelated news, how do you think Tyler Robinson’s trial will go?
Why Martin Luther King’s Family Believes James Earl Ray Was Not His Killer
It’s not clear when Coretta Scott King, widow of King, began to believe in Ray’s innocence. But almost immediately after her husband’s assassination, she suspected that the FBI, which had investigated the murder, was involved in it.
“There is abundant evidence of a major high level conspiracy in the assassination of my husband, Martin Luther King, Jr.,” Coretta King said at a press conference in 1999, according to The King Center. It was a theory she maintained until her death in 2006 that has so far never been proven. Yet given the way the bureau had treated her and her family, her suspicion of the FBI and its conclusions about her husband’s killer came from a very reasonable place, says John McMillian, a history professor at Georgia State University.
During the 1950 and ‘60s, the FBI surveilled and harassed King, his family and his associates. The bureau wiretapped his phone and monitored his movements, taking advantage of times when he seemed particularly upset or depressed. In one instance, the FBI sent him a tape that allegedly contained audio of him having an affair. With it came a letter threatening King with public exposure if he didn’t kill himself, and claiming that the sender had evidence of other affairs.
The official RFK assassination story is also so dubious, it can’t be considered true.
He was shot in the back, not front where Sirhan Sirhan was standing; more bullets in the room than Sirhan’s gun held, etc.
To say the public has no reasonable interest in pursing every clue we can find in the Kirk assassination is to be totally ignorant of American history.
