I was 13 at the time, and lived 70 miles from Memphis.
I have been to the Lorraine Motel...................
“The KGB certainly had a motive to go after Hoover after the FBI nabbed a bunch of their agents and gelded the Communist Party. But for this, and for rolling up the Axis spy rings during WWII, he remains a hero to me.”
Well said.
Powerful story. Very sad.
Maybe the FBI told him.
JFK....blown away... Rock solid integrity my buttocks.
Are you claiming the FBI arranged the assassination of Kennedy? Even assuming his murder was a conspiracy and that Oswald was a fall guy, what evidence is there to assume FBI involvement?

There was a civil lawsuit filed by MLK Estate:
“The jury was clearly convinced by the extensive evidence that was presented during the trial that, in addition to Mr. Jowers, the conspiracy of the Mafia, local, state and federal government agencies, were deeply involved in the assassination of my husband.
The jury also affirmed overwhelming evidence that identified someone else, not James Earl Ray, as the shooter, and that Mr. Ray was set up to take the blame.”

Not sure if that is the person you are talking about or not though. 8>)

But I kept waiting for the "secret". I thought it was going to be something along the line that they witnessed hookers visiting the reverend King. But the "secret" was really just an untold part of their witnesses to history, untold but very interesting nonetheless.
He always hired a lot of Mormons.
Wow. God bless her, what an awful thing for her, her brother and father to live with. Can’t imagine.
FBI/CIA/Organized crime, all of them had a hand. The cover-up went all the way to the White House. LBJ had what he called his “trigger man” Malcolm Wallace who had killed LBJ’s sisters lover, and received a 5 year suspended sentence for it. LBJ was neck deep into organized crime, the FBI and the CIA both hated Kennedy. All of the above had the means, motive and opportunity to assassinate the President. Are you one of the few who actually believes the LHO lone nut story concocted by the Deep state?
As reported in the New York Times in 2002.
A Minister Says His Father, Now Dead, Killed Dr. King
By DANA CANEDY APRIL 5, 2002
Saying he could no longer keep his dead father’s secret, a minister is contending that his father — not James Earl Ray — fatally shot the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at a Memphis motel in 1968.
The man, the Rev. Ronald Denton Wilson, said in an interview today that his father, Henry Clay Wilson, led a group of three conspirators responsible for Dr. King’s death.
‘’My father was the main guy,’’ said Mr. Wilson, 61, of Keystone Heights, north of Gainesville. ‘’It wasn’t a racist thing. He thought Martin Luther King was connected with communism, and he wanted to get him out of the way.’’
George Wallace announced his candidacy for the Democrat nomination a week before the Kennedy assassination.
A Wallace-Kennedy fight would have given Nelson Rockefeller the presidency. Wallace probably would have beaten Kennedy. Wallace, a folk hero, would have beaten the oily Johnson too.
If Johnson ever was to be president, Nov. 22, 1963 was the day.
He almost got away with it. His plan was to fly to Rhodesia where he believed he would be treated as a hero by the Apartheid gov't of Ian Smith (in truth, they would've likely extradited Ray back to the United States).
Excellent page-turner of a book about the King assassination and ensuing manhunt:
went to Atlanta and then to Canada and England before being arrested in July 1968.
He was actually arrested in June of 1968. I recall the news breaking during the televised train trip of Robert Kennedys body preceding his funeral
But that doesn’t necessarily mean the FBI was involved in any aspect of the conspiracy. And it is not impossible the killers were tied to the KGB and/or Castro.
