      ​​@@X9523-z3v Wilsonian Interventionism has been a disaster for US foreign policy.
      Woodrow Wilson set the precedent openly when he made his little speech about the "moral compunction" of the US to intervene in WW1.
      Sometimes war cannot be avoided, but Wilson set a precedent of attaching moral outrage to strategic goals within government, although the desire was very much already there within other individuals before him. They just weren't as top-down open about it, it was more just opportunism based around the media's own sensationalist lies (See: USS Maine)

    2 things not mentioned here are the roles of James C Hardin & Jesse Jackson. James C Hardin was the original suspect of the Dr.King assassination, connected to James Earl Ray, by an FBI until they were told that Ray was the lone assassin. There was even a composite sketch made & a known location where witnesses reported James C Hardin meeting with James Earl Ray, but the investigation into Hardin was quickly stopped in favor of the lone gunman theory. Many suspected Hardin to be "Raoul", with many reporters questioning Ray about the connection, but Ray refused to talk about Hardin. As for Jesse Jackson, he was rumored to have conspired against King, similar to the other undercover FBI aide, in order to take King's place as the leader of the black community (which he did after King's death). King was even heard questioning Jesse Jackson, saying he knew that he (Jesse) wanted his spot in the movement.

It's just that they do it with more plausible deniability and through agencies like the CIA. Just the confirmed ones, like the nayirah testimony, gulf of tonkin incident, WMD's in Iraq, cuban terrorism plot, etc show that "democratic" governments are more deceptive than most give them credit for, especially when it justifies a war.
      And then """sceptics""" refuse to believe the government ever does shady shit until the government literally admits to doing it, or until the evidence is overwhelming. Until then, they just passively trust whatever journalists/experts/politicians/bureaucrats/etc say unquestiongly.

      @joearledge 8 месяцев назад +12

      I mean, there are several reasons for the same model of rifle to have a different twist. If manufacturing tolerances and QC are bad enough, they might all be close-ish to the same twist rate. 60 years ago, barrels weren't made on CNC rifling machines, they were made on rifling machines that were 50 to 100 years old at THAT time. The specific quoted twist was 1:11.25". In a .308 bore(308 Win. & 30-06), usually(not always) a 1:11.25" twist is considered to be best for precision. This suggest that, if it was a Rem 760 GM, more than likely, it had been re-barreled. And that, whoever picked the barrel out, at least knew a little something about precision shooting. That said the shot that killed king wasn't really precision work. Popped him in the jaw at 100 yrds or less, that's roughly 4" low at very close range. So either the equipment sucked, or the shooter sucked, or both.
      Being lied to this whole time isn't wild.
      What's wild is the shockingly high percentage of the population that STILL believe anything the govt., the media, and both of their associated organizations, say, to this very day, despite all of the lies across all of decades and generations..... last few years have highlighted this fact extra hard.

      MLK wasn’t assassinated by the us gov cos they feared him he was assassinated by the gov to make him a Martyr as he became more valuable dead than alive as he has some me too style scandals and he was getting more radical and openly associating with communists and alienating white liberals and so on so he was killed so he would be remembered as a martyr. If MLK was the good guy and wasn’t a tool of the system he wouldn’t have a national holiday, statues, receive only positive coverage in the media, be supported by literally every corrupt politician, extremely controversial to criticise him.
      Anyone who is anti establishment isn’t treated like this. There’s a reason Malcom X isn’t treated like MLK.
      MLK was a nobody until he was contacted by communists who used him and gave him scripts to read, he was low intelligence and needed to Plagiarise and read scripts. He wasn’t a real Christian he didn’t believe in the divinity of Christ.

It took ages and a ton of effort to pull it all together because they put all of their effort into trying to silence people, though...

George Lincoln Rockwell even showed the Cops the damage on his car from a stray bullet fired at him weeks before his killing but they didn't follow it up, a lot of evidence relating to his death was also deliberately mishandled by law enforcement as well. What we’re seeing here was a US government program aimed at stopping ethnic separatism (black and white) which you can see through the CIA and FBIs attempts to infiltrate the KKK, The National Socialist Party Of America as well as various black political groups including the Nation of Islam in order to gain information on them (COINTELPRO). So your implied argument that the Government was exclusively targeting Black political figures during this time doesn't make sense when you consider how many white groups they were also targeting.

Upon revision it'll likely be added, though not explored in-depth for most classes. For example, in normal highschool history class I learned JFK was assassinated and that it's still debated today who truly shot him. In AP US history, I was taught specific details of the case - the magic bullet, the grassy knoll, etc. I'm certain this will be taught in AP US History once books are updated.

      Eating slaves(cannibalism) look up "the delectable ne*ro" it's a cookbook for it
      Thinking about how Malcom X and black panthers used violence and riots during Civil rights. But somehow only MLK is celebrated and has streets and a holiday.
      I wonder why the government would try and convince us the only way to protest is nonviolent? I wonder why the government would further try to convince us that MLK was unanimously well received at the time and that no violence or upsets happened at anything he did. I wonder why the government did all that and then killed him?
      Almost like they're trying to create a narrative and discourage violent effective protests from being a catalyst for change. Violence isn't always the answer.

People will be going crazy thinking it was the russians or chinese and when these goverments deny the fact they might begin looking closer to home. But when you have a identified shooter in public with a lot of "witnesses" (people who only heard the shot, those who didn't saw where it came from, etc.) the goverment can simply say "This nutcrack kill the guy" and people will be just fine because it makes some kind of sense. With JFK it was a "crazy commie" and with MLK a "crazy racist" and that way you answer who did it, how he did it and why he did it.
