Over the past couple months, a few of you have heard me talking (rambling) about conspiracy theories and/or purposeful dissemination of false information by the government. The 9/11 conspiracy, The Sandy Hook conspiracy, The government plan to disarm the public...etc. It's not that I necessarily believe in any of these idea exactly, but given their scope and prevalence, I think it's important to at least be aware and somewhat knowledgeable of them.
One of the most interesting stories (or lack there of), was that of the Martin Luther King Jr. civil trial in 1999. The trial was unquestionably one of the biggest stories of the century, yet there was virtually no press coverage. The civil trial brought to light some of the most damning conspiracy charges ever leveled against the government, and revealed a large scale cover-up operation, ultimately pinning the blame (and murder charge) on the infamous James Earl Ray. Turns out, he was just a patsy.
Given the fact that King is hailed as a national hero, and that there are chapters devoted to him in our scholastic history books, you'd expect that any new revelations about his story, would be front page. Christ, we have a national holiday devoted to him! But, as the story shows and goes, the public is utterly clueless to this next chapter in the story, and its already 15 years past due at this point.
Thus, I figured I'd share an article with you, as I think my preaching has run its course:
