Great vid -- Hope the people who need to see this WILL; I think MLK had a strong premonition of his forthcoming murder, which was evident in the extreme emotion he showed in his 'I have been to the Mountaintop' speech he gave to a full church on April 3 in Memphis, the night before his assassination. Many people have commented on it, as if he was preaching himself through fear. I always find it incredibly moving.

A coupla years ago I was astonished on learning the details of MLKs murder conspiracy which came out in the Civil Rights trial, almost as much as I was astounded at the total mainstream news blackout -- a large part of what has inspired my deep politics study and awareness.

Since MLK's murder and cover-up by agents of the PTB, they have become much more proactive in identifying and discrediting or neutralizing, if not outright disappearing, potential charismatic leaders capable of inspiring or organizing social-justice movements. The bastards are ruthless and vicious enough to eliminate all risks to their franchise on power regardless of such niceties as consideration for the value and self-worth of individual lives -- the exact opposite of basic Constitutional guarantees re: the sacredness and sanctity of each and every life, thus the absolute protections necessary for due process and civil rights (which the Obama Admin is formally renouncing).

MLK had the extreme courage and honesty to put his finger right ON the fraud, corruption, venality & hypocrisy of the US exporting war and terror on behalf of 'protecting' oligarchs and capitalist exploitation -- which is even MORE true today, including domestically.

"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death."
-MLK

I believe that the main reason that MLK was killed was that he was starting to forge an alliance between the civil rights movement with the peace movement. It probably freaked the PTB out to think of these two social justice movements joining forces.

And he was starting to unite blacks and whites - not just students & middle-class intellectuals, but workers above all - and he was speaking out ever more clearly about the evils of the capitalist system per se.

On the evening of April 4, 1968, while standing on the balcony of his motel room in Memphis, Tennessee, where he was to lead a protest march in sympathy with striking garbage workers of that city, he was assassinated.

That's why King had to be murdered. He wasn't content to propagate flabby uplift about Hope and Change, and they knew it.

I wish to god he was alive today. I wish he could see, and describe, what Robot Man has made out of his 'legacy'. And if there's ever going to be a General Strike in the US, then Martin Luther King Day (a day of nothing but flabby uplift, so far) would be an ideal day to start it.

Lisa Pease makes a similar case with respect to dividing the Peace Movement. The SLA, in the spirit of Operation Gladio, was a right wing front, ostensibly designed to alienate the middle/upper class peaceniks. The kidnapping of Patty Hearst, and the violence perpetrated by this group effectively did just that.

In this photograph, Coretta is upset with her husband, who had been attacked the night before by a disturbed white racist but had not defended himself. Though the police urged King to press charges, he refused. “The system we live under creates people such as this youth,” he said. “I’m not interested in pressing charges. I’m interested in changing the kind of system that produces such men.”
