On April 4th 1967, the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. spoke out against American involvement in the Vietnam War. King stated that the United States was "the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today."Time magazine called it "demagogic slander that sounded like a script for Radio Hanoi." To speak against evils in the present tense involves great risk, and it takes a man of courage and dedication to principle to do so. We look back at the loss and tragedy due to the Vietnam folly, and we can forget the resistance such words were met with as they were spoken.
On April 4th, 1968, the Rev. Martin Luther King was assassinated, and
he paid the ultimate price for his faith and convictions. "A nation
that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense
than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom", were
words as resonant in the 1960's as they are today. I wonder the
horror Reverend King would have experienced if he could have seen
forward to the present day. That illegal surveillance that monitored
him would be a fact of daily life for the average individual, and war
would be our greatest export. The budget for war would dwarf any
humanitarian social programs, and poverty and hunger would be a
concern for a large percent of the population.
As we celebrate the life of Martin Luther King, I feel extreme
sadness. It was only two months and two days after King was murdered
that Robert Kennedy also was felled by bullets. King and the brothers
Kennedy lifted ideals of peace and equality to America and the world. They challenged America to live up to the beliefs it espoused. The media often derides those who question the deaths of these true leaders, laughing at the
word "conspiracy". Is it really paranoia to question if a country's
military industrial complex would eliminate men who had the power to
end it's lucrative business measured in the billions of dollars? Is
it paranoia to wonder if the power structure that forced African
Americans to live as lesser humans would kill men calling for true
equality and freedom for all citizens?
"A lie cannot live", spoke Dr. King. We can see through the lies as
if we were glancing through cellophane today. It does not change the
truth if the media denies the obvious, and does not allow the hard
questions to be asked. It does not change the truth if unpleasant
facts are ignored. We still have to face the truth individually, and
as a people. It will roll over us if we do not own up to it.
If Dr. king could look forward to today and see our headlines, I can
only picture the man weeping. He had a heart for his Lord Jesus
Christ, and He had wept for the cold hearts in Jerusalem.
So as I remember him today, I think of his words that resonate in my heart,
and spur my conscience to care more deeply. "I have decided to stick
with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear." And I cling to the
concepts of love and nonviolence, and I think of how Dr. King spoke of
it. "Nonviolence is a powerful and just weapon which cuts without
wounding and ennobles the man who wields it. It is a sword that
heals." These words spoken then are so relevant today, and many good
people lament at how few of our leaders speak of similar sentiment
when we so badly need to hear it spoken.
We live in a climate that inspires fear at saying such things, but we
must count the cost. For we have been warned of the dangers of our
silence.
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that
matter." As we remember Dr. King today, remember to break the
silence. In his honor, speak forth words of truth, words of love, and
words of peace. We must not allow the dream he reminded us of to be
forgotten.
Retired FBI agent Don Adams calls the Warren Report “Nothing But a Bunch Of Lies.”
Retired FBI Agent and Police Chief Don Adams,
who was one of the original investigators in Dallas
examining the JFK assassination, stumbles upon records
and reports that were doctored. He knows, because he
filed the original reports. His decade long investigation
has taken him deep into history, to the National Archives
and beyond. Step by step he says he has learned and can
prove that Lee Harvey Oswald did not kill JFK.
Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future.

A VERY INTERESTING PHONE CONVERSATION
The lies and deceit in this phone conversation between 2 supposedly 'honorable men' are overwhelming. President Lyndon B. Johnson and FBI Director-J. Edgar Hoover conspire to keep the world in the dark as they have an ego pumping session shortly after JFK's killing.
