James Earl Ray's brother claims federal government killed Martin Luther King

The dust has never settled since the shots that killed Martin Luther King Jr. were fired, as conspiracy theories continue to swirl around his assassination 40 years later.

For years, John Larry Ray has tried to reveal what he says is an uncovered page in history about his older brother's role in the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. He always has contended James Earl Ray was a government "patsy," the fall guy for a sophisticated government plot.

In his book "Truth At Last," released today, Ray says his brother was caught in a web of hypnosis, brainwashing and government-backed mind-control programs that all began with the shooting of a black soldier in 1948.

As a military police officer in Germany, James Earl Ray was directed to shoot the soldier, only identified as Washington, who had been arrested for beating up Jews. Army records showed that prior to the incident, Ray had received two spinal taps, which John Larry suggests may have been part of a drug experiment.

Also reminds me of the Manchurian Candidate

Nope, it was me. I killed MLK, JFK, RFK, Che, Jimmy Hoffa, Bob Crane, Sal Mineo, Buffalo Bob, Howdy Doody, Princess Diana, Amelia Earhart, Paul Wellstone, etc. I killed them all.

Did I miss anybody? Ronald McDonald? Bozo The Clown.

Sarcasm here folks.

Paranoia aside, the question is still open as to why the FBI will not allow the alleged murder weapon to be tested to match the ballistics to the bullet retrieved from King.

Well, you didn't miss J.R. Ewing - you just wounded him.

This was on The X-Files. MLK was shot by the Cigarette-Smoking Man, who worked for the US government....

Or why Hoover & the FBI went after him so hard via it's secret COINTELPRO program.

Now it's all starting to make sense.

In the end I don’t care anymore. The civil rights movement has been twisted by King supporters and democrats to prop up racism when it was the Republicans who pushed for it ( and still are ). When my kids come home every February with all the black history month junk they are given I spend days teaching real history and undermining the brain washing they receive at public school.
