Dr. King's engineered assassination
DR. KING'S ENGINEERED MURDER
That Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s mountain-top assassination was not serendipitous, but was engineered, is evident from the mere fact of his convicted killer's, patsy, James Earl Ray's escape, from the Jefferson City, Missouri, penitentiary, was the only such escape in its 100 year + existence.
Its engineering marvel may also be seen in the facts that Ray's alleged ability to shadow Dr. King's rigorous travel schedule, without Ray's having any money, contacts, camouflage and identifying documents, for months, to Memphis, even to fly London later!
A man on the run is "heading for the hills" to hide out, till the coast clears ! Ray, by contrast, surged right into the midst of spies, plants, and of eavesdropping FBI agents, while still "on the run"--mind you--and to foist himself into the retinue of the most watched black man alive!
FBI agents were filing hourly reports on Rev. Dr. King's group movements, meetings, messages, speeches, with the late, notorious J. Edgar Hoover, founding FBI Director, who mortally hated King, who he called an "impostor" as he had Marcus Garvey in the 1920's.
I will stop there.
I have not read the a Congressional literature, nor rafter of published investigations on this epochal murder, that reshaped American society for decades . I do know this though: the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was engineered.
It was committed by wicked powers from on high with means, money, manipulative manpower, malevolence, cover, opportunity, plausible deniability, and determinative access to mass media . Ray Charles could see that! And James Earl Ray had none of that!
