    Half of Americans suspect there’s a conspiracy around the assassination of MLK, a lot thinking the FBI was involved. We wanted to look into that - why the FBI was interested in MLK, what they were really doing with the intel they were illegally gathering, and what this all means for the legacy of both the FBI and of MLK.

    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

    "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"

    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.

      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.

Nebo in full view of the holy land.

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.

The last poll in his lifetime was 63% unfavorable. This video just doesn't reflect the historical reality of the situation.

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

      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"...

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

      "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"

    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.

    • @BeeepBo0op
      @BeeepBo0op Месяц назад +14

      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.

      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.

    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.

      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:

      @juqual78 24 дня назад

      @@cancelconservatism7041 FD is solid and well sourced. Great recommendation. MLK was a democratic socialist and there is no way around it. In fact if you listen to what Jesus actually advocated for in the Gospels, he really comes off as a peace loving socialist if not a full blown communist! That wasn't lost on many in the faith at the time, much to the chagrin of elite church leadership that of course wanted nothing to do with his actual teachings!
      Johnny simply misses far too much of the actual history and information when it comes to MLK. It's a super complex topic: not something that can be handled in a 30 min video, specially considering he doesn't even talk to the people that actually lived it that are still alive and reachable.
      Actually giving only 30 minutes to it almost ENSURES that you are misinformed on this subject. Do the work and learn for yourself who he was and just who he was turning into.
      Read the entire letter from Birmingham, not just a few quotations. It really gives you incredible insight into the man and where he was at the time mentally, right before he died. In no uncertain terms he lambasts the "moderate liberal" as the real enemy and stumbling block to progress.

      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.

      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".

      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.

      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
