WELP.
Stop what you are doing.
Read those.
Right now.
I’ll wait.
If you don’t want to read, I’ll explain the key bullet points, but please read them afterwords:
This is not “we didn’t protect him enough.”
This is not “the government screwed up some random detail or accidentally let his killer loose.”
The 111th Military Intelligence had a team taking pictures of his balcony during the assassination.
They brought in a Special Forces 8-Man Sniper Team from the 20th.
Memphis Police withdrew their regular protection detail from him.
A jury of 12 people, six black and six white, found the United States Government guilty of conspiracy to commit murder.
YOUR GOVERNMENT. MY GOVERNMENT. THE GOVERNMENT OF, BY, AND FOR THE PEOPLE, SHOT AND KILLED DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING. And the media never reported the case.
MLK was ASSASSINATED. By a government YOU PAY FOR.
I hate those posts where someone tries to pressure you into reblogging. I almost never ask you to reblog.
This shit is important.
Reblog this. I don’t care what kind of blog you have. I don’t care what you normally talk about.
Reblog this.
Does ANYONE bother to click on links??? The sources above are Wikipedia, The Examiner, Washington’s Blog, and two relatively shady websites with bare-bones material.
The story appears to be true. Apparently, hardly anyone attended the three-and-a-half week trial. It is tragic that this is not taught in the history books.
Ah, wait, LOL, you’re a CONSPIRACY THEORIST if you question the official story, lol what am I saying!
Move along, nothing to see here.
I’m requesting additional sources but this is pretty damning
A few more:

CNN reports the government-killing-King angle as a “conspiracy theory”. This is a common, convenient tactic used by government and media to dismiss actual evidence contrary to what is reported as the official story.
Also, here is a link to the official transcript:
http://www.thekingcenter.org/civil-case-king-family-versus-jowers
From the transcript:
I think the testimony here that you’ve heard and the proof that you’ve heard indicates clearly there is more than just Mr. Jowers involved. He was a small-time greasy-spoon cafe operator who played a very small significant part in this case, if anything. If you will study over the reports I’ve provided for you and the exhibits, think about all the testimony that has been given here and what really happened, ladies and gentlemen, your verdict would have to be that the United States government, the FBI, the Memphis Police Department and others were involved in this conspiracy to murder Dr. King.
…
THE COURT: I understand the jury has reached a verdict. I’m going to bring them out. They’ve indicated that they want a picture of themselves. So I’m authorizing this gentleman to take one picture. He is going to make sure there are no additional copies. I’ll have copies made of them and send them to the jurors.
(Jury in.)
THE COURT: All right, ladies and gentlemen. I understand you reached a verdict. Is that correct?
THE JURY: Yes (In unison).
THE COURT: May I have that verdict.
(Verdict form passed to the Court.)
THE COURT: I have authorized this gentleman here to take one picture of you which I’m going to have developed and make copies and send to you as I promised. Okay. All right, ladies and gentlemen. Let me ask you, do all of you agree with this verdict?
THE JURY: Yes (In unison).
THE COURT: In answer to the question did Loyd Jowers participate in a conspiracy to do harm to Dr. Martin Luther King, your answer is yes. Do you also find that others, including governmental agencies, were parties to this conspiracy as alleged by the defendant? Your answer to that one is also yes. And the total amount of damages you find for the plaintiffs entitled to is one hundred dollars. Is that your verdict?
THE JURY: Yes (In unison).

I’m not surprised by any of this. It’s just sad that it’s not talked about.
It’s probably “a bunch of BS, though”. Lol move along, keep going about your day.
Did you guys also know that MLK Jr plagiarized a lot of his work?
Source 1, Source 2, Source 3, Source 4
I don’t really care because I find MLK to be a great man and he gave his life for a cause that helped the entire human race, but still, he plagiarized his work.
Another fun fact that never gets reported.
As for the claim that MLK was assassinated by the government, yea, I thought this was common knowledge.
MLK had full-time FBI surveillance following him around and yet, somehow, he was assassinated. Well, golly me, how did that slip through the cracks….
MLK was a hero, a plagiarist and a target.

Typically, humans will only eat meat when it is cooked, seasoned, dressed, and served between buns. This has the delightful effect of making meat look nothing like the bloody hairy carcass that makes a true carnivores mouth water.
Because in some cases, we need to remove possible bacteria. Sort of how you’d wash a fruit or vegetable before eating it. Also some people are able to eat raw meat without any negative side effects.
I’m not surprised that information like that is frequently left out by vegans.
P.S. We’re omnivores you idiot. Lol vegan logic. If you’re not A you must be C. There is no B.

I like how this person conveniently ignores dishes made with cooked, seasoned and dressed fruits and vegetables.
If humans are naturally herbivorous, why do so many vegans and vegetarians like to create recipes intended to replicate the experience of eating meat?
and lol sushi
Also there are non-cooked meat dishes..Steak tartare comes to mind but I am sure there are others
There’s a reason that the invention of fire and the shift from nuts and shrubs to hunting and consuming meat helped pull man out of the cave and propel it into modern-day prosperity of both body and technology.
The fact is that in order to power our bodies and our minds, meat is a much better and more efficient source of energy than vegetation.
If it weren’t for humans becoming meat consumers, we’d have never advanced to the point were vegetarians could get on the internet and complain about meat consumption. You’re welcome.

The ancient Egyptians were black
Egypt is in Africa
Christianity was forced upon the Africans during slavery to “keep slaves in line”
Whites want to make Africa look bad so they can take it over
Africa is a BLACK continent
Although a large portion of Egypt is in Africa,…
>ancient Egyptians were black
oooooooooh boy good luck telling that to the average Egyptian.
The average Egyptian is not the ancient Egyptian . Ignorance is bliss!!!
The Egyptians were as black as the Romans were white. Ancient Egyptian civilization, culture, political structure, and religion all have roots in the areas of the Fertile Crescent, which were an Arab area. It was primarily through early Arab Imperialism that most of Northern Africa is Arabic today.
^ This. Let us not forget that some of the Pharaohs during the THREE THOUSAND YEAR dynastic structure were actually Nubians from upstream of the Nile in what is now Ethiopia. Not to mention that, as an empire, Egypt featured a variety of complexions, as most imperial powers tend to do once they begin mixing cultures through conquest and influence.
Some rulers were purported to be fair skinned, redheads, still others were “golden” and others still were, as I mentioned, jet-black Nubians. There is no one-true-face of Egypt any more than there is one-true-face of of a multiethnic society.
Also important to note that many Queens or Pharaohs came from the Middle East or Caucus regions as tribes or sects of people would inter-marry as to “keep the peace” among different empires.
For example, it is believed that Nefertiti is of Armenian decent. She was of the Mitanni tribe, the origin of the Armenian people.
besides, in the grand scheme of things, we are all African…
Dear Piers Morgan,
21st-century-classical-liberal:
If it weren’t for American guns, you’d be speaking German by now.
You’re welcome.
That’s not entirely accurate. The war was unwinable for the Third Reich when Hitler had this brilliant methhead idea to invade the USSR.
Lest we forget who made it to Berlin first….
One of my biggest pet peeves is when Americans completely disregard the fact that the Soviet Union had a huge impact on the outcome of the war…a bigger impact than the US.
Troof. Actually, if it weren’t for American intervention, I bet most of Western Europe would be speaking Russian.
Accurate.
What actually defeated the Nazi wasn’t a government or people, it was the Russian winter.

Imperium: The Crisis of Being details the cyclical nature of human history, and the rise and fall of all civilizations and cultures.
Here are some key points which are evidenced by brief glimpses into world history, ranging from ancient China to ancient Egypt:
- Every culture is imbued with its own ‘religious’ world-view
- As this idea is refined, it manifests itself as a multiplicity of cultural identities (nations)
- Each has their own, distinct interpretation of the world-view
- All energy directed inward [self-reflection in philosophy, art, science, literature) becomes directed outwardly towards politics, war, economics, and law.
- Final expression is idealism and expansion manifested as imperialism
- Culture is organic anddoeshave a lifespan (roughly 45 human generations)
It is a cyclical process and as more people move to urban centers, they become disconnected from the cultural tradition of the countryside. All knowledge once focused inward is instead turned outward: cultural critique, deconstruction of ‘social norms’ and appeals to the impractical “ideal.”
Expansion will always occur until it exhausts all avenues and the Civilization collapses upon itself. “World Wars” are categorized by a utilization of technology and mass (in numbers) without hesitation or regard for the human consequences. Leaders become increasingly populist and use plebeian words to appeal to the now-displaced poor and lower classes in the cities; “greater good,” “the working man,” etc.
I highly suggest you take a look.
Reblogging because I just updated the text of this post in order to hopefully induce more viewership :3
This was damn good. Wish it was voiced over, but it was worth my 27 minutes.
Everything has a life-cycle, including corporations and cultures. To think anything will last forever is foolish.
Why Ban Guns And Why Now?
Gun bans are ridiculous because they don’t even try to ban the right guns.
Almost all gun-related crime is done using handguns.
Only 3.7% of gun-related crime is carried out using a rifle (Semi and Fully automatic riles like AR15s and M4s included.) That’s 323 known offenses committed using a rifle out of the 8,583 gun-related crimes in America in 2011, according to the FBI.
Just looking at statistics, we see that gun ownership has increased for the last couple of decades. We also see that gun-related crimes have decreased. We can get further down into the details and see that gun-free zones is where all mass murders take place and gun-control cities have worse violent crime than gun-lax cities.
But the fact remains that according to the FBI, if we’re going to ban guns, we shouldn’t ban rifles — semi automatic or even fully automatic — the guns we should logically be going after are handguns and small, concealable weapons. I don’t advocate this but if politicians really wanted to pretend they where here for our safety, they’d start here. But they won’t.
We are living in turbulent yet remarkable times. Just look at all the protests, riots and revolutions around the world. Full on over-throws of government are in fashion. People are ousting oppressive regimes using none other than “assault” rifles. And they use those rifles to capture their governments tanks and rockets and larger weapons so that they can succeed.
Have we ever seen such a worldwide political unrest ever before? We are in the middle of historic times and yet, here in America, our government is building a totalitarian police state. The push for gun bans in America stem from the current affairs of the rest of the planet. Our government sees the writing on the wall and they want to act before the people have a chance to react.
Politicians want to ban “assault” rifles for one reason; They don’t fear for the safety of the public, they fear for the safety of themselves and their position of power.
Politicians fear that they will be tossed to the side using the guns that they banned in 1986 and the weaker, semi-automatic, versions that they are trying to ban now.
How can the gov’t roll out SS/KGB style full warrant-less surveillance? Gitmo style, NDAA backed, indefinite detention? How can gov’t slowly start to tax 50%, 60%, 75% of ALL (not just the top 1%, the top 2%, top 5% but 100%) of our income?
Who’s easier to control, unarmed citizens who depend on the state from cradle to grave or smart, independent citizens who are armed and vigilant?
So the next time you hear a politician say “we need to ban assault rifles” ask them three questions:
1. Didn’t we already ban “assault rifles” in 1986?
2. Aren’t almost all crimes conducted with handguns and not rifles and certainly not “assault rifles”?
3. If gun-related crime rates are decreasing, why is gun-propaganda increasing?
So, why ban guns and why now?
In short; to preserve the totalitarian state which our government has worked so hard to build over the last 100 or so years. They can’t let all of their hard work go to waste, not now, when they are oh so close to finally achieving absolute power.

I’m surprised that the Federal Government even retains this document anymore. I feel like they should send it to the Smithsonian where all the other outdated-yet-once-relevant pieces of American history are housed.
