Would really like more videos about Hoover. He's probably the closest thing to a tyrant the USA has ever had and we're never taught about the way he tried to ruin the lives of his perceived enemies against the best interest of Americans. Man probably deserves his own video.
They got him to stop saying "Human rights" and started asking for "Civil Rights". Nobody wants civil rights. We want to recognized as human for starters.
Hoover was actually more powerful than the Potus. He served as the FBI director for almost 50 years. We have a huge problem with unelected bureaucrats to this day.
His last speech has always given me chills. Its almost like he knew someone wanted to take him out and soon. Of course he knew his life was in danger, but the way he speaks in that speech sounds like he knew he wouldn't live past the week. EDIT: Clearly he knew his life was in danger. What I am saying is that his speech sounds like he knew he would be shot within the next day or two. Obviously he didn't, no one knows that they'll be dead within the day. I am just saying its creepy with hindsight. FFS some of ya'll are so mad about my opinions....
That is exactly what my Mom said. He knew he didn’t have long to live when he made the “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop “ speech. The tragic thing is that we are currently going back to those dark days of division and hate. 😢
It's almost like he knew... Really? No way hose... Do you think that every politician who has ever risen through ranks has never had enemies trying to take them down? He knew from the moment he was gaining traction that there will be people coming after him. He knew it from the very beginning.
In France, there was a radio program in the 2000s, way before podcast existed called "Rendez-vous avec X" (meeting with X). X was a retired French intelligence officer whose identity was never disclosed. They talked about many historical figures, the underground world of spies, the secrets of States. I remember them discussing MLK and Edgar Hoover. Hoover was a terrifying man. He had so many ways to blackmail people, no president and no attorney generals dared to go against him. Hoover's racism was a fact and his hatred towards MLK was also discussed in this radio program. When MLK stood against the Vietnam war, he posed himself against president Johnson which was considered as the last act of treason by Hoover, which made it a perfect reason for a conspiracy. But there was one interesting take from X that adds context to this assassination: KGB was interested in tearing American society apart. KGB had spies in MLK entourage. They had spread misinformation to tear apart the black community (Malcom X called MLK Uncle Tom). And of course working to discredit MLK within the white community was also part of their plan. Using right extremists to kill MLK and blaming the FBI would be a perfect work for the KGB. Of course that was his pure speculation, no proof.
People will see this and say "omg this is crazy how could they do this" while they ignore the fact that these organizations still exist and are bigger than ever. These people are also pro big government and think their favorite politician isn't corrupt.
You took the words right out of my mouth, it’s insane to me that people think these organizations have somehow grown a conscious in the last 60+ years rather than more clever and deceptive in their tactics
It’s crazy how RFK is likely not goi my to win despite being antiestablishment and wanting to release classified CIA and FBI files. You say something like that they call you crazy yet it’s all the evidence in the world to show how corrupt and monstrous government organizations are
They may have turned into organizations infiltrated by America's enemies, including the CIA. Check out the book: DESTROYING AMERICA: The CIA’s Quest to Control the Government Paperback - by Anthony Frank
It’s crazy how many similarities MLK’s assassination has with JFK’s assassination, both random criminal lone gunman, who used a sniper at long range to take out the target. Both in the 1960’s. My guess is they were chosen and either threatened in some way (threatening to hurt family loved ones etc) or told that their family would be taken care of financially if they did so. RIP MLK & JFK
the 60s was the assassination era that paved the way for what we are seeing today, JFK - November 22, 1963 Malcom X - February 21, 1965 Martin Luther King, Jr - April 4, 1968 RFK - June 6, 1968 Fred Hampton -December 4, 1969
It's not so much people as much as a system that needs to be brought to justice. Only bringing individuals to justice does not address the root cause, so the cycle will only repeat.

you forgot to mention that mlk on his letter written from birmingham jail he expressed a grave disappointment toward the white moderate. I quote: "I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizens Councillor or the Ku Klux Klanner but the white moderate who is more devoted to order than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says, "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically feels that he can set the timetable for another man's freedom"
Well if we are all being painfully honest, white America in 2023 are the white clergymen to whom Dr. King addresses this letter. Perhaps you will see this in a few generations.
It's more complicated than that. Retired naval intelligence analyst here. When you declassify documents you still have to protect 'sources and methods'. Meaning that you can release the main information. That is the important part. But you still may not be able to release it in it's entirety because some of the sources (which may be human beings still alive) and technical methods (which may themselves be extremely classified) would be put at risk when those two things do not materially change the core information being released. Does that make sense? And in the fullness of time, even those things will be released when they are no longer at risk.

Crazy the lengths the CIA and FBI go to to purge the world of happiness and hope. But at least people like Chris Wray and Will Burns get to make a fuck-load of money off geopolitical instability and collective global sorrow.
Their job isn't justice, it's to maintain the status quo. MLK was a disruptive element who was starting to call for more inflammatory actions. Thus, it's an easy decision for them and we lose one of the most important figures of our history. (In case it's not clear, I'm not condoning the murder. Just explaining why they wanted to.)
They protect the few and their capital, it's no surprise, the elites have been playing this game for thousands and thousands of years, now they have super intelligence and drones though, so there's that, I guess.

I think a lot of people in the comments are missing the point of the video. This is about the fact that, whether or not they were actually directly behind the person who pulled the trigger or not, we have actual proof that a significant branch of the US government has been directly involved in harrassing and threatening the life of a peaceful US citizen based on the fact that they disagreed with that citizen's ideals. Whether they directly pulled the trigger or not they hold responsibility for, at the very least, not only not having done their duty of trying to stop it but actually encouraging it. That is a huge stain on our democratic system.

I'm a 70 year old American white man, a Native of Iowa. In 1989 I was living in Nashville. I've been a Baha'i for 40 years. I went on bus to Memphis full of fellow Baha'is to march in the annual Martin Luther King Parade. It was a huge event, hundreds of buses and thousands of marchers. I got separated from my group and was walking around looking for them. I walked for an hour or so and suddenly heard the music of a marching band coming down an alley. I ran to the end of the alley and thrre was the parade, and hear came my group. Two Baha'is were leading the group carrying a huge banner promoting Racial Harmony. The banner holder nearest me recognized my name tag and waved to me to help carry the banner, which I did. A block later was a Network TV Camera. Friends across America told me later that they saw me on TV! It was an honor to march in this Parade remembering Dr. King. Years later I made a pilgrimage to Memphis and said prayers on the spot Dr. King was Murdered.
As someone who was alive during that time, looking at america today...Would you say the average person is less racist today?? or are things more subtle these days???

@@dia.6213 Hi. Progress has been made! That said there are Powerful Elite who want to destroy America so they can rule the World. They control 90% of Global Media. A central strategy they use is to cause divisions between groups along many lines including Race. They present a highly exaggerated picture of Black/White Relations in America. For me Whites need to reach out to Blacks in sincere Love and Friendship and Blacks need to Forgive and Forget the past and accept that Love and Friendship and return them.

“You don't get freedom peacefully. Freedom is never safeguarded peacefully. Anybody who is depriving you of freedom isn't deserving of a peaceful approach by the ones who are deprived of their freedom." - Malcolm X
As much as I am a fan of Malcolm X, Rev King had a much bigger lasting legacy precisely because he used non - violence to get there. That being said, Minister Malcolm was an amazing writer and speaker.
@@rustomkanishka Of course, the legacy of MLK is greater: that's the function of the media. What is the point of a media conglomerate defending and propagating a less peaceful method of fighting the status quo? The peaceful method is a concession from the oppressor, and it is never more than he is comfortable giving you. Sorry for my english
@@MinoricioSerafim Thing is, violence doesnt solve shit. My country was the only one in the Eastern Bloc that overthrew communism violently, but we ended up with a more chaotic transition than the rest, one in which second-rate party members ended up in charge, anyway, so how did it help us?
If it wasn't for Martin Luther King there would probably be no civil rights marches in Ireland, he inspired the Irish people to form NICRA who marched on Bloody Sunday.
Looks like there going to need a new protest group in Ireland to stop another invasion of unwanted visitors from the third world unfortunately, the Irish people are second class citizens in their own country right now,love the Irish ☘️
I would say Ireland was and still is a very worldly society.. They took ideas from South Africa, Cuba, Algeria, Palestine, and many other colonized societies. Mlk played a role, and Malcolm X also played a great role as well. As MLK said, injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” Ireland also had many great thinkers themselves as well, like Connelly, so to say there would be NO marches are unlikely. It’s also important to recognize the importance the violent acts that the IRA committed had in getting the Brit’s to be willing to negotiate
Credible. Reminds me of that movie , when the band member kid is practicing his saxophone. Upon being approached by a couple infants , he fires back, “ I am black and I am praaaawwd “.
You missed a really interesting point in his final speech about being on the mountain top, but not being able to make it to the holy land, he was comparing himself to Moses, who led the Israelites from bondage and suffering out to the desert(and according to the bible) God told him that as a result of his sins he would see it, but die before they made it, and he died on Mt. Nebo in full view of the holy land. Its as if he new his life was soon to be cut short, but his movement would be successful in making progress for Black Americans, both of which he called correctly.
I don't like how Johnny talked as if the only problem the FBI's actions was that the USSR connection was unsubstantiated, this insinuates that if there was a connection to the USSR that all of the actions afterwards would be justified. Also the video seemed very revisionist in the way it portrayed the civil rights movement, from the way Johnny talked about it you would think that it only succeeded because of white people's pity where at the time of his death MLK did not have the moral high ground (political climate of the time) the white population was polled to have a 66% unfavorable opinion of him. I mean for context Johnny cut out the most important part of MLK's letter where he said that the largest stumbling block to the civil rights movement was not radicals like the KKK but the white moderates who prefers injustice to the tension created in the pursuit of justice.
The topic is all about to what lead MLK assassination. Not over the principles of MLK views of the civil rights movement , nor what whites saw it then. . The latter is a backdrop to the former.
Well said and good point, but remember this isn't a video about MLK it's a video about the Assassination of MLK. Mentioning that doesn't have anything to do with thr implication of his assassination directly i feel
I read it somewhat differently. I read it as a demonstration that despite a complete lack of evidence, under Hoover's leadership the Bureau decided to use illicit tactics to try and take down King anyway. It's not that the USSR connection would've justified anything, it's that the Bureau didn't care about justification. It just decided that it wanted to go after King anyway. And I think highlighting that (racist) abuse of power committed within (what should be) a publicly accountable institution devoted to protecting justice for citizens is what the video is all about. Which I also think goes to your point about the simplistic overview of the civil rights movement and MLK's role within it. It's certainly not the full story of the movement, but that's also not something it is attempting to be.
That's because there are still people that were involved are still alive that's why they won't release the classifieds for MLK,JFK ,RFK,AND THE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT ON president Regan and president Trump. 5 of the best President that united States ever had.that should tell you those that wants what is good for The United States of America are killed or trying to be killed
Everyone commenting about MLK's "disillusionment with the white moderate" in letters from the Birmingham jail is correct, but I also want to point out how incorrect Johnny is in saying that MLK was seen as being in the right during the Civil Rights Movement, around the 6 minute mark; Gallup polls clearly show that the general public had an unfavorable opinion of him. The last poll in his lifetime was 63% unfavorable. This video just doesn't reflect the historical reality of the situation.
some of those among us always try and use this to prove that "it wasn't the racists fault, king said it was the moderates and libs" which is not what he said at all. He simply voiced his dismay at "those" amongst modeates who constantly said they agreed with his ideas but couldn't back whatever methods as it says clearly. It was white moderates as a whole who helped keep the push alive for civil rights after he was gone. It wasn't all moderates because as always within such a massive group their are differing opinions but as a whole they were among his biggest supporters and he was thankful for it
These are the same liberals that thought slavery was normal, that didn't care if women didn't have rights, that thought segregation was normal, that didn't care for labor rights, that defend(ed) Israel/South Africa, etc. Throughout history, every disingenuous Liberal claims to love freedom, while defending its opposite. A Liberal's most famous weapon is to defend injustice and oppression when exists, and then immediately switch sides when a social movement succeeds. Then, because they control THE MEANS OF COMMUNICATION, they underhandedly set a false narrative: "we were in the right side of history all along". The biggest irony in history will be when Capitalism is finally defeated, and then Liberals will pretend like they were anti-Capitalist all along (forgetting that Liberalism literally is the ideological foundation of Capitalism). But that time is yet to come, and they need to trip over themselves 50 times in a row before "they get it"...
white moderates were policing what black people could do to fight for their freedom. White moderates condemned people like Malcom X and if MLK leaned too far into X's ideals they would check him too. I've read articles on MLK from moderate publications just because they weren't saying the hard r doesn't mean they weren't racist @@sidfromla213
Each blacked out block should have an alphanumeric code beside it - you can look those up in the declassification guide of the agency that created the document and see why specifically that section was exempted from release - it's likely that in this context its identifying information about a person who provided information or enabled surveillance or detailed information about methods used for surveillance but you can always look it up and see which exemption was applied to get a broad idea of the content removed.
Disclosure to all - what Johnny and RU-vidrs alike do not tell you about services such as incogni whom sponsor segments about taking their fans off data broker lists is that these services will indeed send out a large list of emails for you, you then have to manually respond to almost every single one of them as 90% of companies say that they do not deal with legal data protection requests through third parties and require verification from the customer themselves. There’s 2 problems with this. The first being that you are now doing the job of incogni quite literally. The second being that now you are given the choice now of parting with more personal information, or ignoring it and having achieved nothing but giving your data to another company, incogni. As well as this, you are likely going to be communicating on the same email chain as the one Incogni and companies alike initiated with their request meaning that personal data required to verify you, should you choose to send it, will also make its way to incogni who will be CC’d into the email chain. They make themselves sound a whole lot better than they are, in reality they’re pretty useless.
I am from the Uk and was 9 at the time of Kings assassination-King and his messages were very popular in the UK and King was also held in high esteem across the world. That’s why US government agencies saw him as a threat- they did everything they could to discredit him and cover it up. King was such a powerful force for good and he will live on forever.
@@bingus__ Honestly i still kind of like it in regards of their methods (undercover or spy operations, trickery).

The portion you showed where he gave his last speech gave me chills…he knew he was going to be murdered soon. You can see it on his face. He’s holding back tears. He’s terrified. Yet his words and steadfast demeanor showed strength in the end. Phew. I love America, but the more I learn about all we’ve done…it’s impossible to trust a single word that is uttered by our government. We are lost.
That alone is a dead give away that the tapes were bullshit. If they were real, the media would have had no problem releasing the tapes with all the publicity and monetary gain they could have gotten from doing so. They heard the tapes, realized they were most likely the most blackface thing they have ever heard and disposed of them.

maybe you guys can mention how he wasn't completely against violence (and was peers with Malcolm X) and the way he decried the white moderate which johny seemed happy to skip over.
Here is an important quote Jonny "forgot" that you should include if you want to make a good video about it. MLK: "I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizens Councillor or the Ku Klux Klanner but the white moderate who is more devoted to order than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says, "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically feels that he can set the timetable for another man's freedom"
A jury even found the that there was enough evidence that the government did it. The king family didn’t want money they just wanted to show the country what happened but it was buried by the media and the government
@@johnnyharrisThere was a case in the 90s where King's family sued for a dollar (not about money) to prove the U.S government's involvement in his assassination. They won the case, and a U.S Court declared that the FBI and other entities had a hand in King's assassination. This hole goes deeper and deeper.
All in all, this was an incredibly tragic loss especially for the king family but also for all of America. Well done Johnny and team for presenting this is such a beautiful yet respectful way.
By ignoring some of MLK’s mostly important words he skipped straight over and lying about MLK both being a socialist and approved by the overall population. It’s historical revisionism and whitewashing at best…
Your observation of MLK, America’s perception of him, and the nuances of the civil rights movement are ahistorical and nothing less than revisionist history. You completely quoted MLK out of context in the letter you cited to suit your whitewashed narrative. That letter was written about MLK’s disillusionment with moderate, liberal white people, because they thought oppressed people should wait their turn to get the same rights as everyone else. MLK’s strategy of nonviolence was not winning over hearts and minds. At the time of his assassination he had a 75% disapproval rating in America. That means 3 in 4 Americans thought he was a bad person, so not exactly winning hearts and minds. And finally to the extent that MLK had any success in influencing civil rights reform, it was mostly because white America/ legislators were afraid that denying the peaceful protesters of their modest reforms would fuel the more radical elements within the movement like the Black Panthers and lead to armed resistance.
Yes and no. The black panthers weren’t taken seriously as a movement. On the other hand kings non violent approach is largely what helped white people see eye to eye with black people. Yes the “status quo” is always an issue for change but he literally appealed to the status quo by choosing non violence. He rallied people behind his cause by telling them we shouldn’t be like the white oppressor. Unlike Malcom x who literally took pages out of racism.
Also the importance of including that communism or at least socialism indeed intertwined with the civil rights movement. Not only did the Black Panthers sway that way, but King started to see capitalism as useless. ""I imagine you already know that I am much more socialistic in my economic theory than capitalistic... [Capitalism] started out with a noble and high motive... but like most human systems it fell victim to the very thing it was revolting against. So today capitalism has out-lived its usefulness."
@@cancelconservatism7041 excellent quote. And perfectly emblematic of the aforementioned issues with @johnnyharris video and the whitewashed narrative that he presents as if it were true…
Great video Harris. I'm from Kenya but I enjoy listening to videos on American politics because they relate to a lot of politics in Africa, including assassinations. I would love to see you do more content on African politics as well, and how it relates to American politics; (not just how we were colonized) Good job though
This video is controlled opposition, using public information that the government has released themselves to paint a picture that sanitizes the reality of what was actually going on at this time. This video is ahistorical and revisionist either bc Johnny’s research was poor or more likely, and worse, because he’s intentionally misrepresenting the facts. 1. MLK did NOT have the moral high ground before his death, multiple polls show anywhere from 63%-68% disapproval ratings on public opinion up to his death in 1968. Johnny frames this entire video as if public perception was swaying MLK’s way due to the “success” of non-violent protests when the data clearly shows that was not the case. Many other black civil rights leaders at the time were also pointing out the Dr. King’s methods did not seem to be swaying public opinion of white moderates who saw the movement as radical and a disruptive force. 2. Johnny chooses very specific quotes from Dr. King’s Birmingham Jail letter without providing the full context and in so doing completely misrepresents what he was actually saying. It was the literal thesis of the letter. Dr. King in context: “First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says ‘I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;’ who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a ‘more convenient season.’” 3. Johnny paints Hoover as the singular evil force behind the espionage and violation of MLK’s rights as if to use “great man theory” to say that it wasn’t the act of a corrupt government institution whose literal job it was to spy on U.S. citizens but instead just one deranged man in charge of all these innocent agents. Johnny even references that Hoover’s name is on the building and acts like it’s so strange that someone who “perverted” the FBI would be on the building. That’s because he didn’t pervert anything, he did what the FBI would call a good job. This would be like saying the Nazi party was full of a bunch of people just following orders while Hitler was perverting the sacred institution of the Nazi party. It’s completely false and a misrepresentation of history. There’s more like the complete lack of mentioning King’s radical socialist ideology or using the sex scandal as a way to sow division for his cause rather than point out it’s irrelevance to the civil rights movement, but those are the big three. IMPORTANT: This video may seem like it is criticizing the government, but it is actually a form of controlled opposition, and a very ahistorical take on the facts in order to present a much more sanitized and moralistic view of the day . This kind of propaganda is very dangerous because it doesn’t seem like propaganda. Johnny presents himself as a truth seeker, which is very hard to believe. If you understand the context behind some of the sources he presents for his argument here, he leaves out so many crucial details, that it’s very hard to believe that this was unintentional.
Martin Luther King Jr. inadvertently hindered the progress of Black America by emphasizing integration rather than concentrating on the development of the Black economy, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and businesses. His approach has contributed to many challenges that Black Americans encounter today. In my youth, I viewed him as a hero, but as I've matured, I've come to see him as shortsighted and lacking in critical analysis.
The 60s are quite compèred to now,mass immigration and war seems to be destroying us, and don’t forget the trans ideology and its going to get worse unfortunately,planned and pushed by the elites and traitorous politicians
MLK, 39 year old Nobel Peace Prize winner who empowered black Americans and people of color to ask for the right to some of the most basic things, like sitting where they please on a bus, vote in elections, etc. was murdered by the United States government. Hundreds of thousands of White Americans and many politicians fought him at every turn. Some of those people are still alive. The government killed, attacked or incarcerated other black leaders at the time and some of them are STILl imprisoned or rotted in there welllll past us knowing the truth. Those people’s children and grandchildren who hold the same racist beliefs are here on the internet and social media with us commenting racist things, hiding in plain sight. Awful people. The U.S. is a mess.
Because they did. Montgomery resident here & I’m 26 and only just now realizing just how extensively his legacy has been blurred, whitewashed and rewritten. We barely have any appreciation for King here anymore, but the way they teach his story in school gives him no ounce of justice.
Im sick of the performative nature of Johnny‘s journalism, because he feigns making huge revelations about history and geopolitics with editing and production quality. He fundamentally whitewashed the legacy of MLK‘s teachings to provide a shallow, revisionist analysis that comforts the consciousness moderate liberals
I was under the impression that he was always in their crosshairs and it wasn't until he started saying that blacks and whites need to come together to fight a common enemy that they took the shot
Thank you for tackling in your recent videos large American conspiracies, and why people's beliefs are justified. The argument that "Even if the FBI didn't directly order the hit, they are guilty by lack of action to protect MLK's life" is correct. The FBI had both surveillance capabilities and the interest in MLK that they should have known about any conspiracies to end his life (they even sent that letter). Great quality video the team did here
I thought that there was solid evidence on the shooter getting away with it. Like apparently all the witnesses said they heard the shot from a nearby bush.
@@enryumazino3939 that's what's dangerous. it has to have an element of truth to be believable, and because of that element of truth it's harder to completely discount
Add it to the list of things, there are thousands more transgressions, from those days, till now. We don't need an apology, we need some change and more transparency.
I remember when Clinton first came into office and began apologizing for several things on behalf of the United States.... And he was called "The Apologizer in Chief". By the end of his presidency there were no more apologies and no more progressive policies. In fact there were several policies and laws that were not vetoed that made life regressive and worse. I remember when Obama first came into office and began apologizing for several things on behalf of the United States.... And he was called "The Apologizer in Chief". By the end of his presidency there were no more apologies and no more progressive policies. In fact there were several policies and laws that were not vetoed that made life regressive and worse. Wait did I just say the same thing twice? Well... At least Old Joe ain't apologized for nothing... That's... Something. Several policies have made things better, but I'm still waiting for those vetoes and sweeping changes.
@@StatusNulleasy. Denmark, Sweden, France, maybe Italy, any other country that doesn’t overwork their citizens with less pay, commit less atrocities worldwide, places like that
King, fred Hampton, mark clark, and probably Malcolm x. I wouldn't be surprised if they had a hand in what happened in Philadelphia on May 13, 1985 with MOVE
too bad that young black folks don't know his life and struggles, too distracted by flashy things and fast relations. he would be truly disappointed in our society today
That was actually very good analysis by Johnny. Becaue they were not transcripts at all. It was analysis/interpretation. The former is black and white (no pun intended). The latter is nuanced and colored by the analysts own biases. There are very good reasons to be skeptical of those reports. In the intel world, when asked about my confidence in source material like that I would report it as 'low confidence' because you can't trust it.
Since they’re not the main source, I highly doubt the validity of their statements. But with the advancement of AI and voice/visual alteration, I would not be surprised if the main source is altered as well when it’s (hopefully) released in 2027. We may never know the truth until we are all judged on Judgement Day
Well, MLK had his extra marital affairs . It is all public knowledge. But he was commited to social change. There are no saints or sinners. And as for Malcolm X, we don’t know all that well.
He was an adherent of NOI, that alone is enough to discredit him. NOI's 'teachings' are complete and utter lunacy. MLK on the other hand just had the same flaws lots of people have, doesn't discredit his work.
@Filthtron "Sincere" is the keyword. Reading comprehension skills please. He reverted to proper Islam once he learned of the truth (God is not man....) knowing this will get him killed. Nothing was hidden
This is crazy hearing about the media getting the tapes and not publishing them or anything. It took me back to when I was 9 and heard my friends uncle and grandpa talking about how they heard the tapes because his grandpa worked at New York times and that they didn't release them publicly because they were wildly embellished. It's crazy that hearing that back then didn't mean much to me but now it means everything. It speaks volumes about the power corruption and power in general of the FBI.
This was so well done. Thanks for providing this video. I’m going to go look around and see what else you have to offer. Side note: it’s so scary to think that our government has and still does things like this to its very own citizens. 😞
Everyone knows they did, and what? Who will get convicted?! Ill tell you no one, all we will do is know and watch videos about this and nothing will ever be done
