Interview - Jim Douglass - MLK, JFK, RFK and the Unspeakable

[posimosh]

Wait, you are comparing MLKjr. to Ron Paul? lololol. They have nothing in common. All the men in this dude's book are (argueably) pacifists. Paul isn't even that, he is just to stingy to spring for the military. Furthermore, the authors thesis is that These people threatened the powers in the Military industrial complex, Ron Paul falls in line when ever these same powers that happen to OWN HIM get sick of his half brained schemes. Watch the interview next time before commenting @KyIeMcCIeIIan 

[KyIeMcCIeIIan]

I already know Ron Paul is going to meet the same fate. If he doesn't get assassinated, then thank god one libertarian finally dodged all the bullets. I'm piecing together an ugly picture :(

[cruisersism]

This Evil LBJ statement I believe refers to the murder of JFK

"It is the Melancholy law of human societies to be compeled sometimes to chose a great evil in order to ward off a greater evil"

[dutchog1]

30:13 even the white man say jackson and kyles set him up

[megawinterfall]

Did Jesse Jackson have any involvement in the King's assasination?

[glimmer2158]

KKK? Coincidence?

[ITILII]

Very interesting stuff,though he needs a little chronology for the assassinations...it's JFK, Malcolm X, MLK, RFK

[mrfester42]

@ITILII He didn't mention them with any thought to a chronology. He just listed them.

[glimmer2158]

One never knows, do one?

[fallspeed]

JFK and the Unspeakable is a fantastic book and I highly recommend it to everyone.

[mickeymbz]

why does he state that the period between may-dec 1998 was the only trial ever involving mlk? james earl ray was tried and convicted in 1969.

[danny12691]

@mickeymbz he entered a guilty plea to forgo a jury trial, so that he would not face the death penalty. He also tried unsuccesfully to withdraw his guilty plea and have an actual trial but never did

[translationwiz]

I think this guy is right about a lot of things. But the RFK assn.? Sirhan did kill him. He may have been brainwashed. He may have been hypnotized or both to do it. But he did it. RFK, saw him pointing the gun at him. He turned to run but the crowd behind him pushed him forward. Another security blunder....and Sirhan therefore, had a clear shot at the back of his head. Interesting though, how I found the 1 disagreement in his statements, to point out&comment on. LOL.

peace/paz/salam/shalom

[airevolt1]

@translationwiz How did you come up with this explanation of how RFK was shot in the back of his head from the front? I've never heard it before. Did you read it somewhere? How could you know that RFK saw Sirhan pointing the gun at him? He did not speak after being shot.

[FRTothus]

@translationwiz That is not what the autopsy shows, what the LA County Coroner nor what the witnesses, including the bodyguards, said. Read the autopsy report. Read Special Operation Senator. None of Sirhans' shots were fatal. The fatal shot was of a different caliber, the shooter most likely a rent-a-cop named Thane Eugene Caesar, point-blank, pointed upwards, from behind.

[HappyTeacherESQ]

just bought the book jfk and the unspeakable yesterday---tremendous work

and to think--this video happened before the 911 facade---just incredible

[cpmondello]

look what happens to those who "make waves"......

[pad1147]

I'm really looking forward to seeing these later books. James Douglass is in a wonderful American tradition of speaking truth to power. Americans can be very proud him.

[39tommyboy]

rev martin luther king was so powerfull in his words spoken that i was raised in a all white community and wasnt around my first black person in the south untill i went to work for the railroad at the age of 18 but his words brought tears to my eyes listening to the i have a dream speach. trully a man who could see the future and was willing to give his life for what he believed in. godbless the king familly

[ramazone2]

@39tommyboy It's up to all of us to recognize and take action. It doesn't matter to me that you were not in a position to recognize. It's more important to me that you recognized when it was clear what needed to be acknowledged.

[NSOG]

DEZE man weet wat hij zegt want in 1999 al met 10.000 2010 nu met(god bles) internet zeker 25.00000 mensen al wakker ik kan niet w8ten tot dat iedereen het brijp wat we moeten doen om deze bullshit crisis en onderdrukking en uitbuiting !! van de mensheid tegen te gaan .

[theseventhprotocol]

The more dead US presidents is a good thing ! I never liked any US president.They're all evil scum.Brainwashed fools idolize JFK !

[mcmchugh99]

And as usual, the American media is asleep on the job--at best.

[pkspalding]

this is a great posting and douglass' book is a very thorough, very persuasive overview of the assassination. it also, in my opinion, is indicative of a sea change in assasination scholarship. that there was a conspiracy to assassinate jfk, and that the cia and the military were most likely involved is now the accepted position, and not the lone gunman theory. no one who is intellectually honest can do a thorough study of the events inn dallas '63 and believe in the warren commissions findings.

[LondonPride25]

JFK and his brother were soft on Communism and anti-war. They had to die. The Reverend Martin Luther King was probably more intelligent than either Kennedy (he certainly came further in his life from much humbler beginnings) but towards his death he started to talk like a Maoist, and began to encourage Negroes (as they were called then) not to fight in Vietnam. For these reasons, he had to die. The governing principle of any society is to make war. Always has been, always will be.

[thomasg74]

@LondonPride25 ,confused here,who said they all had to die,are you in agreement with it and who the fuck are you then,as for the kennedys being uninteligent,on what do you base this.

[sboudreaux27]

Hoover, the CIA and other political figures who hated Dr. King wanted definitely wanted him dead from the very beginning and I heard after his assassination, Hoover had FBI agents spy on his widow, Coretta and the 4 kids.

[hansjalv]

Don't miss 24:50 - 25:45

[josephortizgarcia]

White men are devils.

[infrogmation]

@josephortizgarcia: No, it is not so simple. Douglass is a white skin man, and he is calling out the devils here.

The Devils are those who use murder and coersion to preserve their priviledge and hold back true freedom.

The Devils will divide and weaken those who oppose them any way they can, such as making them hate each other according to the color of their skin.

Malcolm realized this, before the Devils killed him.

[norr4636]

@infrogmation Black men kill Malcolm X.....One of the murders were just paroled this week....He admitted bing involved.

[ITILII]

@norr4636 sure a black man was involved, which doesn't necessarily mean black men organized and were behind this. Malcolm said Elijah Muhammad and others with him were't behind who was harassing him (and who eventually killed him) more likely it was J. Edgar Hoover, who was well known in his hatred of blacks, especially intelligent ones who posed a threat to this values, such as Malcolm and Dr. King

[Mobilecheese]

What does James Douglass say about Oswald?

Did he do it or was he a patsy - as he said?

[hubris4444]

good job on the interview. i've just finished reading jim's jfk and the unspeakable and the interview gives good background. i wonder how you were able to post such a long video when youtube supposedly limits length to 10 minutes.

thanks for your reply if you can.

[philnoll]

@hubris4444 Certain channels have special rights. Alex Jones posts full 3 hour movies on youtube.

[atypicalguy]

Good vid yet one question remains. If the government had assassinated King, why wait so long? Why not kill him before the civil rights movement took off if that's what they opposed.

[imskin]

because before the civil rights movement took off no one expected it to succeed in any way. In addition, the people who assassinated MLK were not concerned with the civil rights movement, but with King's burgeoning interest in both the peace movement and ending the war in Vietnam and wide ranging social change which would strike at capitalism itself.

[stellapena]

Here is a link to the speech that purportedly sealed his fate, "Beyond Vietnam", delivered exactly one year to the day of his murder, April 4, 1967, at the Riverside Church in New York City.

[shakaama]

what is your source for this information?

[npf2135]

Amen

[harryorgans]

"...his opposition to that war had little to do with ideology, with capitalism, with democracy. It had to do with money. It had to do with huge amounts of money that that war was generating to large multinational corporations that were based in the United States" - Dr. William F. Pepper

[seppstein91]

for every idiot who still believes 9/11 was bin ladens job should listen to this interview!!!

[ikekll]

atypicalguy, who knows....why ask why when it comes to motives. Maybe they wanted to get a civil rights movement going for a little excitement... then, for Kings' followers, what could be worse than him being murdered to take the steam out of the engine?

[ALifeConnected]

King's speaking out against war was the start -- then he spoke out for the rights of poor people (in planning the Poor People's Campaign -- a uniting of poor people of all races). THIS is what the US government is against -- stopping the flow of money from the poor to the super-rich.

War is the best way to make this happen (take our taxes, build billion-dollar toys, and blow them up so we can build more -- it's a money flow machine). JFK, King, RFK, X were threats to the upward cash flow.

[Gilliatt83]

thanks

[internationallawman]

[j0nw]
