ded murder was investigated in a similar vein to Kennedy Martin Luther King was on the front line of fighting against social injustices Across America and further the gains he made in energizing a nation to fight racial prejudices with non-violence and opposition to the war in Vietnam made him a target for Radicals political assassinations go back centuries and are ingrained in the power struggles of our societies was this one more to add to the list or was a lone gunman capable of the atrocity

h it the spotlight to spread his message we the Negro citizens of Montgomery have been involved in a non-violent protest against the injustices which we have experienced on the buses for a number of years this is a non-violent protest we are depending on moral and spiritual forces using the method of passive resistance the protests lasted 381 days placing severe economic strain on white majority-owned businesses and the public transit system the consequences faced by King of wanting substantial

change in a racially inflamed Society were to follow him until his final day white supremacists targeted King sending threats even bombing his home this newly found Fame not only gave rise to threats from the far right but illegal surveillance from the nation's highest law enforcement body FBI notoriously headed by Jay Edgar Hoover each of the special agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation must be ready and capable to meet any challenge in his eyes King was a threat to the status quo thre

ats on Dr King's life and family became regular occurrences throughout his life oh I've been hit so many times I'm immune to it we have this illegal unconstitutional injunction or we say to America is be true to what you said on paper somewhere I read of the freedom of assembly somewhere I read of the freedom of speech somewhere I read of the freedom of press somewhere I read that's the greatness of America is the right to protest far right 1958 the preacher of non-violence was subject to a near

fatal stabbing confronting death he preached that murder could not stop the struggle for equal rights moving into the turn of the decade the political landscape was transforming with fresh ideas from a youthful president hope seemed just around the corner and I can assure all of you here who have reposed this confidence in me that I will be worthy of your trust we will carry the fight to the people in the fall and we shall win [Music] though filled with hope the 1960s proved to be a dangerous d

ecade the Civil Rights Movement was expanding exponentially I have the pleasure to present to you Dr Martin Luther King Jr the larger the protests the higher chance of Confrontation thank you I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation [Applause] do not be satisfied unto Justice rolls down like Waters and righteousness like a mighty screen [Applause] my four little children will one day live in a nation

where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character I have a dream to be November 22nd 1963 Ambassador Adelaide [Music] America mourned the world mourned conspiracy theories since that day of cast similar doubt on the official findings with the majority of Americans believing he was the subject to a conspiracy it's not beyond the Realms of imagination that similar plans befell King book Detroit building as you see right in front of the building almost P

Norms of society brought consequence even with the passing of the Civil Rights Act in 1964 riots and poverty raged on Martin Luther King Jr was on a perilous Collision Course with President Johnson plans to disrupt Washington with a Poor People's March and efforts to divert funds from the Vietnam war effort to the rundown communities Across America made him a threat to the president's plans Johnson had no intentions of defunding the military-industrial complex he wanted the opposite to expand t

heir presence in Vietnam civil rights leader Martin Luther King leads the procession to the United Nations where he urges U.N pressure to force the U.S to stop bombing North Vietnam the bombing in Vietnam has to stop as has been proved Time and Again by all Air Force studies bombing simply increases the resistance of people to come to the negotiating table this was true in Korea it was true in German we are achieving nothing in North Vietnam by the bomb the infiltration increases we are not brin

ging them to the table King's stance on the war scared much of the Secret Service and establishment they believed him to be a communist the law enforcement bodies of the land form the first line of defense against any attack that might be launched from within never before was there a greater need for Unity for a calm appraisal of the forces which work against us they seek to weaken law enforcement in every conceivable manner as their first step toward turning Law and Order Into Revolution and in

to chaos law enforcement will meet these challenges [Music] Hoover had escalated his illegal surveillance of King in the Years prior sending him sex tapes the FBI had filmed along with Anonymous threatening letters calling for him to commit suicide within 34 days or his image would be ruined with the release of his extramarital affairs symbolic of the continuous defamation campaigns on The Wider left on his journey of changing the social landscape of America Martin Luther King accrued many enemi

es motives for his death were palpable throughout America from the far right supremacist groups like the KKK to the political establishment April 3rd Memphis Tennessee the Memphis sanitation strike the day before the Fatal shot rang out the deaths of two sanitation workers eckel Cole and Robert Walker crushed in the back of a garbage truck served as the last straw for over 1 300 public sector workers demanding equality Martin Luther King Jr arrived on the streets of Memphis urging peaceful non-v

iolent demonstrations as the way to protest oh there's no doubt about the fact that violence is in the air there's no doubt about the fact that there's more talk about himself these days and and Years Gone by are there many reasons for this when a nation runs wild violently in the world it creates a climate for violence when it's within its own confines and one must never Overlook the fact that our nation is obsessed with the guns of war in Vietnam and it has created a climate of violence a clim

ate of confusion a climate of division and even a climate of hatred and I think we have to recognize this as we move on in the days ahead now this does not mean that it is not possible to have a non-violent demonstration I think we have to see that it's more difficult at this time consequently we have to take greater precautions and we have to train people in a rare discipline not over longer period to control elements that can become uncontrollable because of the nature of the situation [Music]

taking Center Stage King delivered the famous speech that eerily foreshadowed his untimely demise [Music] what would happen to me from some of Our Sick White Brothers well I don't know what will happen now but it really doesn't matter with me now in the Mountaintop and I've seen the Promised Land [Applause] [Music] we're with you [Applause] we'll get to the promised land posing the question for the third time in a decade following the murders of Kennedy and Malcolm X how could the murder of one

of the most influential figures of the 20th century feel vowed to happen Unearthed information since has indicated a cover-up of the highest degree that leaves Straight Into the Heart of government with the trial only lasting two and a half hours suspicions were raised at its immediacy and the coercion of his lawyer to force through a guilty plea the reason of which would provide perfect cover for any co-conspirators [Music] trade from what he thought was the leaking of case material Ray hired

the forceful lawyer and longtime close friend to president Lyndon Johnson Percy Foreman Percy Foreman the same lawyer who represented Jack Ruby the man at the center of the Kennedy conspiracy had turned up mysteriously at the opportune moment as Rey was firing his attorneys [Music] instead of having a lawyer who was in the process of mounting a strong defense which might have succeeded he was now in the hands of what some believed to be the conspirators of a cover-up [Music] information from Joh

n Currington the assistant of oil tycoon H.L hunt paints a Sinister picture of collusion that stops the case dead in its tracks although all hearsay hunt and alleged co-conspirator of Kennedy's assassination along with Johnson and Hoover had sent his assistant to Percy Foreman's office with 125 thousand dollars laying the loaded briefcase in front of him Currington said I have 125 000 reasons James Earl Ray should plead guilty to killing king the bribery can only be motivated by the clear and si

mple inside knowledge of Hoover and Johnson knowledge that the case against James Earl Ray was insufficient to put him behind bars [Music] no ballistic evidence linking the bullet with the rifle mysteriously found at the entrance of a storefront along with his belongings unreliable Witnesses and conflicting testimonies even potentially weak evidence that placed Rey on the scene if true the bribe along with threats to charge his brothers a co-conspirator worked the case never received the spotlig

ht it needed [Music] many similarities can be made between the two assassinations that deflated the decade Lee Harvey Oswald's guilty plea retraction led many to believe he was just a scapegoat there was they say a conspiracy more new evidence has come from the national archives in Washington where under the New Freedom of Information Act some hitherto's secret transcripts of the Warren Commission have now come to light and one of those transcripts shows a commissioned lawyer concerned about sup

pressing what he calls a dirty rumor suggesting that Lee Harvey Oswald had had close contacts with the FBI another report says the top FBI officials deliberately destroyed a threatening letter Oswald sent to the FBI in Dallas about 10 days before the assassination also released this letter from J Edgar Hoover which reveals for the first time that Jack Ruby who killed Oswald was an FBI Informer all of which says Mark Lane is evidence of a cover-up of Watergate style proportion what would you call

a 20 of the evidence of the files about the assassination of John Kennedy today are locked away in the vaults of the FBI the CIA or in the National Archives over 60 percent of Americans believe that more than one person enacted the assassination of the president with more than a few conspiracies pointing the finger towards Hoover and Johnson a consequence of their differences in foreign and domestic policies similar viewpoints that King endorsed [Music] in any assassination a lone nut is needed

the use of a crazed individual in assassination plots eliminates any possibility of the perpetrators needing to reveal a reason perfect cover alone nut doesn't need a reason according to Rey Once he knew he was the Fall Guy he made his escape to Canada James Earl Ray spent the next 29 years in prison fighting for a retrial 1971. Co Intel Pro is exposed the covert and highly illegal operations targeted high-profile figures from Jimi Hendrix to Malcolm X many of whom passed under mysterious and S

inister circumstances the illegal surveillance campaign that invaded King's life was intended to expose disrupt misdirect or otherwise neutralize groups the FBI declared subversive what better way to disrupt a group than removing the figurehead King's stance on the war was the last straw for the powers that be the dirty tactics used by the FBI highlighted a potential motive for the removal of King confidence has been shaken to its very Foundation by recent Revelations of the extent to which sort

ed activity on the part of our government in the name of our great people have simply shaken us the actual findings have never been made fully public there's never a trial of Rey he pled guilty but from what one knows about the case you've got to think they did a very extensive sponge-like job the kind of job they always do that is the physical factual evidence is overwhelming that Rey killed King oh oh 1979 the United States House select committee on assassinations revisits the case releasing a

report that entertained a likelihood of conspiracy in the assassination of King yes uh I have been threatened many many times there was a time that we received as many as 30 and 40 threatened calls a day and of course I received numerous threatening letters my secretary has come to the point now that she doesn't show me most of these letters but occasionally I come across them uh within the last few days I remember receiving a threatening letter and they say such things as uh this uh you uh you

are causing too much trouble in this town and if you aren't out within 10 days you and your family will be killed now in Montgomery our home was bombed twice and uh I guess these were the most uh severe instances of violence that we confronted but even today we still confront uh threats through telephone calls and and through the mail oh I'm convinced of that I was then and so was he it was a moment of pain and trauma and yet it was an inevitable moment in some sense we had prepared for such a

moment because we were clear that there had to be some um some suffering that had to be some crucifixion in order to get a resurrection in American society given the fact that our commitment was to stop the racial polarization to stop the economic exploitation and we were aware of the of the of the critical nature of of the forces that were against us in displaying the same humility as his father Dexter King supported by the wider family believed Rey's claims although he may be involved Rey was

not the shooter pointing to the alleged murder weapon left at the scene as validation for their argument who in their right mind would leave a mountain of evidence against them at the murder scene further suspicions were raised when FBI investigators made no ballistic investigation linking the bullet to the rifle falsely claiming the bullet was too destroyed to be examined [Music] I think this uh this biography significantly remarkable not so much for what it tells us about whether or not there

was a conspiracy but what it does not tell us it does not tell us for example uh though you look into his background on the question of his life in the Army how he whether he was a marksman whether he could hit a man at that distance in the right sheep in a fashion that you are assured to to break the spine you can go ahead and keep asking questions forever that is was there a policeman there was there they even have a grassy no man like in the Kennedy assassination Dallas there's supposed to ha

ve been a man on a bank there overlooking the Lorraine motor you can keep these questions up forever and you'll never answer them I what I try to do and I'm very proud that I did just what the congressman said that I devoted 300 mine is the first book written about American Assassin more is known about John Wilkes Booth than was known about James Earl Ray until I published my book and I'm very proud that I did stick to the motive and showed that Ray was a bigot that he passion the hated King and

he killed him for his own reasons MacMillan has not even mentioned the fact that Ray in a biography has not mentioned the fact that Rey made the the astounding statement that there was a conspiracy witness reports from the scene of the crime highlighted inaccuracies in the state's sequence of events Solomon Jones a volunteer who often drove King around town when he was in Memphis saw a hooded person in the thicket across the street he reported his sighting by 7 A.M the next morning the bushes w

they had a part to play Strange occurrences surrounding that short window of time indicate a cover-up those who who were removed from the scene who were security there's some statements here that I really question of course we will be questioning when we move into this area at 125 the motorcade moves into the downtown area death is six minutes away in a warehouse a sniper with a rifle poised Waits the chairs of the crowd almost muffle the three shots the Assassin's aim is deadly drawing compari
