US corporate media lie about the most important death from racism: US government agencies were found guilty in the King family civil trial for assassinating Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

US government “leadership” lie when people like President Obama speak in empathy for Trayvon Martin, saying he could look like a son, while heartlessly drone-killing 16-year-old American Abdul al-Awlaki, wiping imaginary tears with middle fingerson such occasions.

Until the truth is told that the US government assassinated Dr. King to prevent all Americans coming together to end war and poverty, our 1% criminal oligarchywill use or create events such as a murder to encourage Americans’ division rather than unity.

All of us who recognize Orwellian crimes of US “leadership” creatively engageto communicate the “emperor has no clothes” obvious facts to the public. The most elegant solution is for Americans in military and government to recognize unlawful orderscentering in war and money, refuse them, and arrest those who issue them.

King family civil trial highlights:

“What then is, generally speaking, the truth of history? A fable agreed upon.” - - Napoleon Bonaparte (1)
“We have done what we can to reveal the truth, and we now urge you as members of the media, and we call upon elected officials, and other persons of influence to do what they can to share the revelation of this case to the widest possible audience.” – Coretta Scott King (Martin’s wife), King Family Press Conference, Dec. 9, 1999.
Anyone who wants the most important history of the Vietnam war, and American history, must be briefed of this stunning and game-changing “current event”:

Dr. Martin Luther King’s family and his personal friend and attorney, William F. Pepper, won a civil trial that found US government agencies guilty in the wrongful deathof Martin Luther King. The 1999 trial, King Family versus Jowers and Other Unknown Co-Conspirators(2), is the only trial ever conducted on the assassination of Dr. King. The King Center fully documents the case, with full trial transcript.

The King family’s attempts for a criminal trial were denied, as suspect James Ray’s recant of a guilty plea were denied. Mr. Ray said that his government-appointed attorney told him to sign a guilty plea to prevent the death penalty for his part in delivering the murder weapon for Dr. King’s assassination, and to prevent arrests of his father and brother as probable co-conspirators. Mr. Ray produced a letter(3) from his attorney stating the promise that Mr. Ray would receive a trial. When Mr. Ray discovered that he was solely blamed for Dr. King’s assassination and would never receive a trial, the King family’s and Mr. Ray’s subsequent requests were denied.

The US government also denied the King family’s requests for independent investigation of the assassination.

Therefore, and importantly, the US government has never presented any evidence subject to challenge that substantiates their claim that Mr. Ray assassinated Dr. King.

US corporate media did not cover the trial, interview the King family, and textbooks omit this information. Journalist and author, James Douglass(4):

“I can hardly believe the fact that, apart from the courtroom participants, only Memphis TV reporter Wendell Stacy and I attended from beginning to end this historic three-and-one-half week trial. Because of journalistic neglect scarcely anyone else in this land of ours even knows what went on in it. After critical testimony was given in the trial’s second week before an almost empty gallery, Barbara Reis, U.S. correspondent for the Lisbon daily Publico who was there several days, turned to me and said, “Everything in the U.S. is the trial of the century. O.J. Simpson’s trial was the trial of the century. Clinton’s trial was the trial of the century. But this is the trial of the century, and who’s here?” ”

For comparison, please consider the media coverageof O.J. Simpson’s trials(5):

“Media coverage of the Simpson trial, which began in January 1995, was unlike any other. Over two thousand reporters covered the trial, and 80 miles of cable was required to allow nineteen television stations to cover the trial live to 91 percent of the American viewing audience. When the verdict was finally read on October 3, 1995, some 142 million people listened or watched. It seemed the nation stood still, divided along racial lines as to the defendant’s guilt or innocence. During and after the trial, over eighty books were published about the event by most everyone involved in the Simpson case.”

The overwhelming evidence of government complicity introduced and agreed as comprehensively valid by the jury includes:
  * US 111th Military Intelligence Group were at Dr. King’s location during the assassination.
  * 20th Special Forces Group had an 8-man sniper team at the assassination location on that day.
  * Usual Memphis Police special body guards were advised they “weren’t needed” on the day of the assassination.
  * Regular and constant police protection for Dr. King was removed from protecting Dr. King an hour before the assassination.
  * Military Intelligence set-up photographers on a roof of a fire station with a clear view to Dr. King’s balcony.
  * Dr. King’s room was changed from a secure 1st-floor room to an exposed balcony room.
  * Memphis police ordered the scene where multiple witnesses reported as the source of shooting cut down of their bushes that would have hid a sniper.
  * Along with sanitizing a crime scene, police abandoned investigative procedure to interview witnesses who lived by the scene of the shooting.
  * The rifle Mr. Ray delivered was not matched to the bullet that killed Dr. King, and was not sighted to accurately shoot.
The King family believes the government’s motivation to murder Dr. King was to prevent his imminent camp-in/Occupy at Washington, D.C. until the Vietnam War was ended and those resources directed to end poverty and invest in US hard and soft infrastructure.

Mr. Douglass took what he learned from the MLK trial and wrote a book on the explanation and evidence that similar covert US government factions assassinated President Kennedy: JFK and the unspeakable: why he died and why it matters. Reviews for your consideration hereand here. Because the evidence for JFK being murdered by interests in our own government is so strong, AP US History teacher John Hankey created this DVD: Dark Legacy.

I highly recommend William Pepper’s An Act of State on the killing of MLK. Newsweek’s treatment of the King family in regard to this trial was obscenely offensive: those poor gullible black people being taken advantage of by a slick white lawyer.
