There should be a full expose on King, especially the immorality and hypocrisy. I’m sick of lionizing this guy, the pandering, yet all the while the same people don’t have a problem calling out The Founding Fathers, Columbus, et al. Let’s hear ALL of what King was about, including the womanizing, orgies, plagiarism, FBI tapes instead of this annual “holiday” and creaming pants of the racial panderers
I always thought he was and I just looked it up. There is lots of info out there which says he was. One site said he had been one since the very beginning. He never rang true.
The reality is that there were communists in the civil rights movement. But I see them as an opportunistic infection. The segregation era gave communists a chance to appear and act like they championed the cause of individual freedom.
Those damn idiots blocking the school doors in Little Rock, and being violent in Selma, actually helped communists more than they will ever know. This is because they gave the communists a chance to act moral when nothing was further from the truth.
I see it as a guy sees a neighbor beating his wife, and he catches her somewhere and tells her what a shame it is, and how good HE would treat her, and how he’s always there to listen to her. We all know that he has other motives. But if the man isn’t beating his wife, this guy doesn’t get an easy angle to weasel his way in.
So sorry, the racist a-holes of the day might as well have been getting paid by Moscow.
And who was Martin King? In 1955 he was a big-dream utopian who euphemistically identified himself as an “anti-capitalist.” He was, in truth, a starry-eyed Marxist who only four years earlier had written this personal manifesto:
“…I am conviced [sic] that capitalism has seen its best days in American [sic], and not only in America, but in the entire world. It is a well known fact that no social institute [sic] can survive when it has outlived its usefullness [sic]. This, capitalism has done. It has failed to meet the needs of the masses.
“We need only to look at the underlying developements [sic] of our society. There is a definite revolt by, what Marx calls, ‘the preletarian’, [sic] against the bourgeoise [sic]…. What will eventually happen is this, labor will become so power [sic] (this was certainly evidenced in the recent election) that she will be able to place a president in the White House. This will inevitably bring about a nationalization of industry. That will be the end of capitalism. . . there is a definite move away from capitalism, whether we conceive of it as conscious or unconscious Capitalism finds herself like a losing football team in the last quarter trying types of tactics to survive.”
Martin King wrote this drivel at a time when communist totalitarians were condemning billions of people to lives of poverty, mediocrity and fear. The FBI had good reason to be concerned that someone who was so foolish as to embrace the false promise of Marxism might become the charismatic leader of millions of poorly educated and discontented black folks. Martin King was forever prattling about an imagined link between the needs of American blacks and the anti-colonial struggles of people in the Third World. King surrounded himself with dedicated Communists. King’s advisor Hunter Pitts (Jack) O’Dell was a veteran Communist Party organizer in New Orleans. Martin King’s advisor Stanley Levison was a financier for the Communist Party. King’s most trusted advisor and strategist Bayard Rustin began his activism with the Young Communist League.
All of these people understood the power of propaganda, invented history, staged events, deception and impersonation. Like their Soviet role models, these closeted communists sought to create power bases around cults of personality.

Anyone who thinks LBJ wasn’t plugged in to the spying on King hasn’t read the transcripts of LBJ’s tapes. Hoover was LBJ personal spy, and was used to keep with EVERYTHING and EVERYONE.
