Why did he get killed?

He made speeches, which some racist schizo took as a personal attack so he shot him before fleeing the country he was not-defending, thus proving MLK right

>>17823422
judge ruled that this literally didnt happen tho?

>Why did he get killed?
Could have been a few things...

Since we know he was a massive drug addict, he might not have paid his dealer.
Since we know he was a massive pervert, he might not have paid the pimp for the homosexual prostitutes.
Etc....

>>17823414 (OP) Because he wasn't the Gov't and he was leading the masses.

James Earl Ray wanted to kill niggers

>>17823414 (OP)
MLK was becoming more radical by flirting with other civil rights movements such as the Africans and Palestinians, enemies of the Israelis, who through the ADL spied and sex blackmailed him through the FBI (whose boss was also sex blackmailed by the ADL through the Mafia). He was killed so this wouldn't end up becoming public and he could be a martyr for the black community.

The Civil Rights movement was astroturfed by Washington in the 60s to end the most flagrant cases of segregation because they needed to look good in the eyes of the newly independent African nations, that could turn to the soviet sphere of influence if America was so overtly racist, MLK and the likes were only pawns in Washington's game in the context of the Cold War. I mean just picture an African diplomat arriving in New York for United Nations assembly for him to be denied access to restaurants and hotels. That could cause the US to lose a lot of support at the UN, they couldn't just risk that so they were thr ones pushing the Civil Rights movement and using the Negroes as their pawns.

The ADL thought he was a "loose cannon". One of their former employees, Henry Schwarzschild said, "He was a Baptist preacher and nobody could be quite sure what he would do next. The ADL was very anxious about having an unguided missile out there". And James Earl Ray implicated them in his assassination, citing fears that he would take up the Palestinian cause. Ray's handler, "Raul" has also been linked to Jacob "Jack Ruby" Rubenstein. The King's family attorney, William F. Pepper, wrote a book about this revealing that "Raul" was Portuguese. Because Portugal was one of the last European countries with African colonies and allied with Rhodesia and South Africa. ADL agents worked for them Intelligence and Israel gave nuclear weapons. James Earl Ray fled to Portugal and wanted to escape to Rhodesia/South Africa.

Fix'd.

>Back in 1919-1920, Hoover's Bureau, in conducting its nationwide raids and arrests, “coordinated its work closely with a 250,000 member right-wing vigilante group, the American Protective League,” supported by business leaders. In later years Hoover continued to augment the FBI's spying networks and files with other business-supported organizations, above all the American Legion' and its postwar offshoot the American Security Council (ASC). The second major network supplementing the FBI was the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). According to its prominent critic Alfred M. Lilienthal, “the ADL... works closely with the Israeli intelligence agency, Mossad, and sometimes with the FBI or CIA.”

>The author and Village Voice journalist Robert Friedman agrees:

>At the onset of the Cold War, the ADL was running perhaps the largest private spy agency in America, regularly feeding the FBI information not only on anti-Semitic groups like the KKK and the American Nazi party, but also on Jewish leftists and members of the Communist Party... It supplied not only the FBI, but, according to the Congressional Record, the Commerce Department, which reviewed the files ofapplicants for government jobs, searching for “subversives.”... In the '50s and '60s, the ADL continued to penetrate and expose racist and fascist groups. It also championed the civil rights movement, speaking out for fair housing and against job discrimination. Yet as always, there was a darker side. The ADL spied on Martin Luther King and passed its files to J. Edgar Hoover's FBI, according to Henry Schwarz[s:lit]child, who was an ADL officer from 1962 to 1964 and is now an official with the ACLU

>>17823527
>“It was common and casually accepted knowledge,” Schwarz[s:lit]child told the S.F. Weekly

>At the time of King's death, the New Orleans ADL was headed by Adolph Botnick, a longtime friend of Chicago FBI special agent Guy Bannister who was implicated in the assassination of John F. Kennedy

>Bannister was closely tied to New Orleans' local crime machine, as well as to anti-Castro Cubans, the CIA, and the shadowy front company Permindex

>Permindex, also referred to as Permanent Industrial Exposition or Permanent Industrial Expositions, was a trade organization headquartered in Basel, Switzerland. Allegations that Permindex was a front organization for the Central Intelligence Agency have been advanced by advocates of some John F. Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories

>Businessman Clay Shaw, head of the International Trade Mart in New Orleans, represented the United States on the board of directors for Permindex. On March 1, 1967, Shaw was arrested and charged with conspiring to assassinate President John F. Kennedy by New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison

>The International Trade Mart was chartered in 1945, first opened in 1948, and in 1968, merged with International House to form the World Trade Center New Orleans (WTCNO), a private, non-profit organization with a membership of 2,000 corporations and individuals dedicated to improving international trade with New Orleans

>The World Trade Center of New Orleans is the founding member of the World Trade Centers Association, a worldwide association of over 300 World Trade Centers in nearly 100 countries

>It's astounding how there is such a clear line connecting two of the most defining events of deep politics in the 20th and 21st centuries. Quietly acknowledged, but never emphasized - probably because of where the trail leads

>>17823537
>The idea was suggested by David Rockefeller to help stimulate urban renewal in Lower Manhattan, and his brother Nelson signed the legislation to build it

>Prof. Donald Gibson ("The Kennedy Assassination Cover-up", p. 172):

>The principal speaker for the 1948 opening of Shaw's Trade Mart was William McChesney Martin. Martin later became Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board and then a supervisor of the Rockefeller family's trust fund

>The whole WTC complex has its roots in the International Trade Mart of New Orleans, a CIA front that surfaced in the JFK and MLK assassinations:

>(1) Oswald purchased his ticket to London - the first part of his trip to the Soviet Union - from an office in the Trade Mart

>(2) Oswald handed out pro-Castro leaflets in front of the Trade Mart, and the Trade Mart's executives inexplicably called news cameras to document this tableaux - which later became the basis for describing Oswald as a "communist", rather than what he quite plainly was: a government agent, infiltrating subversive groups

>(3) After Oswald returned to New Orleans, multiple witnesses described seeing him in the company of the Trade Mart's director, Clay Shaw - who denied ever meeting him. Several of these witnesses claimed to have overheard Shaw discussing plans for the assassination, with Oswald and other men

>Shaw, who was also said to have known Jack Ruby, was said to perform sadomasochistic rituals at his home. Following his arrest, his lavish residence was searched and police found a long black robe and hood along with whips, chains, and hooks affixed to the ceiling of one room, with what appeared to be faint impressions of bloody handprints. Shaw's maid told them that there was an incident - apparently covered up - where someone had been killed in the house. Shaw's address book was, curiously, filled with members of the European aristocracy - including a Princess Anne Jacqueline de Riquet de Caraman-Chimay

>>17823549
>In the wake of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., journalist Louis Lomax was tracing James Earl Ray's movements and discovered that he'd met with a New Orleans industrialist at the same International Trade Mart. Lomax died in a vehicle 'accident' soon afterward, the industrialist's name was never published

>The FBI documents (given by ADL who spied MLK) say King had a conversation in which he "discussed which women among the parishioners would be suitable for natural and unnatural sex acts," The Times wrote, citing Garrow's article

>According to The Times, a memo accompanying the tape alleges King "looked on and laughed" as a pastor of Baltimore's Cornerstone Baptist Church raped a woman in the hotel room

>"When one of the women protested that she did not approve, the Baptist minister immediately and forcibly raped her," The Times wrote, quoting the FBI documents

>According to Garrow's article, which quotes the documents: "At the same hotel the following evening, King and a dozen other individuals 'participated in a sex orgy.'"

>"When one of the women shied away from engaging in an unnatural act, King and several of the men discussed how she was to be taught and initiated in this respect. King told her that to perform such an act would 'help your soul,'" The Times quoted the memo as saying

>The memo says King said he launched the "International Association for the Advancement of Pussy Eaters," according to Garrow

>According to The Times, the memo says King called a friend to "get your damned ass down here because I have a beautiful white broad here."

>The FBI memo is said to have recorded the prostitute as saying that King and the two women had sex, and when King's friend showed up, King "watched the action from a close-by position" as they too had sex

>The memo quotes the prostitute as saying she was "getting scared as they were pretty drunk and using filthy language," The Times said

>>17823555
>She told an FBI interviewer it was "the worst orgy I've ever gone through," The Times wrote

>King screamed things "I'm fucking for Jesus!" and "I ain't no nigger tonight!"

One of King’s closest friends, Ralph Abernathy, wrote a book in 1989 in which he talked about King’s obsession with white prostitutes. King would often use church donations to have drunken sex parties, where he would hire two to three white prostitutes, occasionally beating them brutally

>But in an advance copy of the book, Abernathy staunchly defends his friend's morality, without condoning his activities. He explains that he felt compelled to write of "my friend's weakness for women," and devotes part of one chapter in the 610-page book to King's private affairs.

>King "believed in the biblical prohibition against sex outside of marriage. It was just that he had a particularly difficult time with that temptation," Abernathy wrote. "We all fall short of the mark... Sexual sins are by no means the worst. Hatred and a cold disregard for others are the besetting sins of our time."

>Abernathy said he might have avoided the matter had others not dealt with it in detail

>He said he wanted "to make some attempt to render justice to the dead without causing too much unnecessary pain to the living."

>Abernathy names none of the women with whom King allegedly was involved. He said extended travels during the civil rights movement were one reason, but not the main one, for King's extramarital liaisons

>"He was... a man who attracted women, even when he didn't intend to, and attracted them in droves," Abernathy said. "He was a hero - the greatest hero of his age - and women are always attracted to a hero."

>Abernathy praised his friend for courage, saying had King "been a coward rather than a truly brave man... we might still be riding in the back of buses and eating in segregated restaurants."

For being a real nigga

>>17823414 (OP)
He was a commie. Like a full blown commie. The idea that he was killed simply because he wanted niggers to go to school with whites is damage control to preserve his public image.
>>17823436
>>17823512
These posters aren't even American. What is it about American history threads that make foreigners avoid them for fear of outing themselves as /his/lets, yet as soon as niggers are mentioned they jump into the thread like they hold a Phd on the subject.

Why do black guys and jungle Asians look so similar? That's an Asian man with mosaic downsyndrome

>>17823414 (OP)
because he threatened the capitalist status quo. the feds hated the racial stuff and tried impeding him, but once he started talking about socialism, all of the sudden they had to take more drastic measures.

>>17823605
>What is it about American history threads that make foreigners avoid

Because Jim Crow also affected our equals in US. You talk about Communism, but who do you think non-white/mixed Latin America would ally with in the Cold War if this continued:

>In 1890, Louisiana passed a law requiring separate accommodations for colored and white passengers on railroads. Louisiana law distinguished between "white", "black" and "colored" (that is, people of mixed European and African ancestry). The law had already specified that black people could not ride with white people, but colored people could ride with white people before 1890. A group of concerned black, colored and white citizens in New Orleans formed an association dedicated to rescinding the law. The group persuaded Homer Plessy to test it; he was a man of color who was of fair complexion and one-eighth "Negro" in ancestry

>In 1892, Plessy bought a first-class ticket from New Orleans on the East Louisiana Railway. Once he had boarded the train, he informed the train conductor of his racial lineage and took a seat in the whites-only car. He was directed to leave that car and sit instead in the "coloreds only" car. Plessy refused and was immediately arrested. The Citizens Committee of New Orleans fought the case all the way to the United States Supreme Court. They lost in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), in which the Court ruled that "separate but equal" facilities were constitutional. The finding contributed to 58 more years of legalized discrimination against black and colored people in the United States

>Walter Francis White was the head of the NAACP from 1931 to 1955. Although only 5 of his 32 great-great-great-grandparents were black, America's "one-drop" rule made him black

>He had blue eyes and dark blonde hair of a Teutons, virtually no visible negroid or tawny features that are present in many of todays Italians and iberians and ottomans. One may have confused him from a Bavarian judge or lawmaker

>Passage from his book:

>A Man Called White (p. 3): "I am a Negro. My skin is white, my eyes are blue, my hair is blond. The traits of my race are nowhere visible upon me."

>They are just creating/becoming real mulattoes today, more in a cultural sense than a genetic one

>>17823773
>102 years ago today Fr James Coyle of Roscommon was sent to Birmingham Alabama to serve the growing Roman Catholic community. Within 9 months he was shot by the KKK. Coyle then had sectarian slurs carved into his body with a knife. After this his body was hanged in public and burned

>The klansman who led the lynching was the local Methodist minister E.R. Stephenson who was angered to discover Coyle had converted his daughter to Catholicism and presided over her marriage to a mixed race Hispanic man

>At the trial the lawyer defending the Klansmen, Hugo Black (a future supreme court judge and the grand dragon of Alabama) noted that Stephenson and other defendants were not guilty by reason of insanity. The defence was truly unique due to it's ridiculous nature. Firstly he noted that Stephenson was driven to insanity because 'the Mick warped his daughter's mind and made her a race mixing papist' Secondly he argued the other KKK men were driven to insanity by the smell of incense from the priest's clothes. Black also noted that Catholics are dangerous since they held dual loyalties and were cannibals. Unsurprisingly the all WASP jury acquitted the defendants

>After the trial Catholic homes in Birmingham were burned and Catholic businesses looted. Over two years the Catholic population of Birmingham halved

>Black a lifelong member of the democrats joined the GOP in 1960 following JFK's nomination. In his statement announcing the move he said the primary reason was he did not want to be in the party of a man 'who took orders from a nigger loving and kike loving transvestite in Italy'

Too busy doing coke and buying prostitutes, too much of a liability for the discord op

>>17823797
>At the trial the lawyer defending the Klansmen, Hugo Black (a future supreme court judge and the grand dragon of Alabama)

BTW He was the one who separated Church and State in the US.

>Beginning in the late 1940s, Black wrote decisions relating to the Establishment Clause, where he insisted on the strict separation of church and state. The most notable of these was Engel v. Vitale (1962), which declared state-sanctioned prayer in public schools unconstitutional. This provoked considerable opposition, especially in conservative circles. Efforts to restore school prayer by constitutional amendment failed

>He believed that the First Amendment erected a metaphorical wall of separation between church and state. During his career Black wrote several important opinions relating to church-state separation. He delivered the opinion of the court in Everson v. Board of Education (1947), which held that the establishment clause was applicable not only to the federal government, but also to the states

>Biographers in the 1990s examined Black's views of religious denominations. Ball found regarding the Klan that Black "sympathized with the group's economic, nativist, and anti-Catholic beliefs". Newman said Black "disliked the Catholic Church as an institution" and gave numerous anti-Catholic speeches in his 1926 election campaign to Ku Klux Klan meetings across Alabama.

>However, in 1937 The Harvard Crimson reported on Black's appointment of a Jewish law clerk, noting that he "earlier had appointed Miss Annie Butt, a Catholic, as a secretary, and the Supreme Court had designated Leon Smallwood, a Negro and a Catholic as his messenger." In the 1940s, Black became intrigued by the anti-Catholic writings of Paul Blanshard. Historian J. Mills Thornton emphasizes his close ties to the KKK. The top leader of the Alabama Klan ran his campaign for the Senate, when Black visited most of the KKK locals in Alabama
