MLK Files
- Thread starter GURPS
- Start date
I thought we already knew MLKJ was a lascivious horndog. Most charismatic leaders are.
Maybe I'm just a nerd but it's been out for decades that he was the P Diddy of his era.
Which means very little because I firmly believe you can be a sexually immoral douche and still have good ideas and a good message. I don't think too many of us in this day and age can argue with the public mission of MLKJ.
Meanwhile, PBS ran another terrific story yesterday headlined, “Trump mandates assassination records be released for the Kennedy brothers and MLK Jr.”
The President signed the new executive order yesterday. One person who will be thrilled is Robert Kennedy, Jr., Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services. Assuming it actually happens this time, it will be historic for both historians and conspiracy theorists.
But it will also help drain the deep state.
The backstory is that, in 2017, Trump ordered the JFK assassination records released. The agencies panicked and badgered the President into agreeing to various delays on full release, and before you knew it, Trump was out, and Biden ordered an indefinite delay. Yesterday, Trump gave the Attorney General (potentially Pam Bondi) and the Director of National Intelligence (possibly Tulsi Gabbard) fifteen days to come up with a plan to release not just the remaining RFK documents but also the assassination records of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr.
Many folks have read the order and found things to complain about. They are understandably skeptical that disclosure will really happen, this time. We’ll just have to wait and see. But I think there could be reason for hope. On the one hand, this might just be Trump over-delivering on a first-term campaign promise to release the JFK records.
But there could be a lot more here.
It is inarguable that the security agencies do not want these records released. By ordering their release, Trump is applying pressure to the agencies, by creating perception problems occupying their time and attention with damage control. It leaves them with less bandwidth to make mischief. Trump is showing himself to be a president in full control of his power and authority, and he is showing the deep state that he has the will and ability to apply discipline in a way that hurts them the most: disclosure.
It’s their own fault. If the agencies weren’t so secretive, Trump wouldn’t hold this power over them. To be clear, it’s an unnecessary amount of secrecy. I’m not the only one who thinks that. Behold this headline from Truthout.org, just three months ago:
Now you can see why one of Trump’s first-week moves is to order these assassination records released. To drain the swamp, you first have to shine a light on the swamp creatures.
Either way, one thing is clear: the lack of transparency surrounding these assassinations has been a stain on the nation’s character. It’s time to blot it out. But there was even more.

His Public Mission kept him from having to work for a living, Just as it did for Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.
I won't say that encouraging blacks to be equal and act in a peaceful manner to get their civil rights was not good.
Compared to Jesse and Al ,Martin was a saint. But in fact preaching was financially good for MLK.
If he spent some of it for his sexual deviance that could be expected.
Hoover had a file on him, but kept most of it to himself which was a smart move, since he wasn't above reproach himself.
That's okay. If people get paid for fighting the good fight, I have no beef with that. I never heard of him shaking down businesses and politicians and celebrities like Sharpton and Jackson have done.

So you're telling me "Diamonds and Rust" isn't really about Bob Dylan?
I've heard some of those rumors and allegations, as far back as the mid-70s, but never anything in print.

Like I said; I heard some of that stuff back in the mid-'70s, but almost nothing since. Then again, I was drunk for the '80s.
I forget who said it, but it came out during the Diddy exposes that were so prevalent on social media, but one brother said "Hell, half the brothers in Atlanta are on the down-low."
Things I heard in the 70's from a former EOD guy, CIA packing explosives in AK ammo and returning the rounds to Vietnam
Dude had lived in Charles County and worked at Indian Head 50's - 60's .... he also talked about the project sponsored to build a bomb thatcould NOT BE disarmed ... think something like the bombs in the movie
Juggernaut

My opinion for the last 50 years is that "the Company" has done more damage to the country in multiple ways than almost any other source. Plus, they spy on Americans because they're crap at doing it to other countries.

If I may ...
For your consideration ...
Time to end the federal and state MLK holidays? And as well to rename all those streets, buildings and parks, named after him?

This was a good book ... eye opening ... and you can get a cheap used copy of the paperback for $ 3 bucks ... apparently in a 3rd edition now
Confessions of an Economic Hitman

No way. More federal holidays, please. But all the streets etc should still be renamed because the shitholes they're always in are a disgrace. "Live like rodents in this shitty housing project, but see? We named your shitty school after MLKJ! Now you negroes move along and don't forget to vote Democrat, ya hear?"
I'm not going to get all vapory over MLKJ's extracurricular activities.
MLK's message transcends his personal life. Kinda like Trump.
Here's this great man, a true benevolent leader who stands for everything decent people believe in, with a glaring flaw. If MLKJ was encouraging people to blow up synagogues (*ahem* Sharpton) or blackmail and race bait for personal gain (*ahem* Jackson) or preaching hatred toward non-blacks (*ahem* Louis Farrakhan) I'd say, yeah, burn him. I feel about this like I felt when I learned Hank Williams was a drunk and drug addict who ODed in the back seat of a car: surprised and disappointed, but it didn't make me stop liking his music.
