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.

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.

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

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

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 :(

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"

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?

@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.

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