Mr Garrow said he had no idea of the scale or the ugliness of it, nor of King’s apparent indifference to rape until he saw the files. He said: “It poses so fundamental a challenge to his historical stature as to require the most complete and extensive historical review possible. [snip]
Last year, former FBI director James Comey unapologetically and openly criticised Hoover for spying on Dr King.
He said the Bureau unlawfully investigated his private life and used intimidation to decrease his growing support.

“FBI summaries of the various incidents.”
Well FBI summaries can be trusted as gospel as we’ve seen in recent years...
The human capacity for depravity includes doing awful deeds, as well as making up stories of awful deeds to blackmail others. Either, and even both, could be the case here. For Garrow to promulgate “FBI interpretations” when he knows the source tapes are sealed until 2027 is swinish. Is he that desperate for publicity?
Why is this happening?
What is this REALLY about..?
They’re trying to draw an association in the mind of the public between DECLASSIFICATION and SUFFERING.
Why? Because of SpyGate —THAT is what this is all about.
This follows the WJC pattern during the Monica Mess:
“THEY ALL DID IT..!!!”
They made an attempt to lessen the crimes of the (then) present by dirtying up the past.
If they don’t have a living hostage, then a dead one will do just fine.
I have long known all about MLK’s various foibles but that’s not what this is REALLY about.
The FBI had no warrant to conduct any wiretap. And the FBI was run by a prancing homosexual in women’s clothing.

Guess we have to rename those streets and take down those statues...../s

Probably a credible source. /s
This is why the FBI King tapes were put under seal in 1977 until 2027.
Services for the Rev. I. Logan Kearse, founder of the Cornerstone Church of Christ and a leader of the civil rights movement in Baltimore in the 1960s, will be held at noon Tuesday at the church, 4239 Park Heights Ave.
Dr. Kearse, who was 69 and lived on Chancery Road, died Monday at Union Memorial Hospital after a series of strokes.
Since 1980, he had also been national president of the Metropolitan Spiritual Churches of Christ, with which his congregation had been affiliated since 1969.
He started the church in 1958 as a Baptist church, and for many years it was located at Bolton and Wilson streets. The affiliation was changed after the first church was destroyed in a fire in 1969, and the congregation moved to Park Heights Avenue. In the early 1960s, Dr. Kearse became one of the leaders of the college students who fanned out often from his Bolton Hill church and from others to demonstrate for civil rights.
He was arrested seven times in Maryland and once in Albany, Ga., with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., whom he also accompanied to the Nobel Peace Prize presentation in Oslo, Norway, in 1964.
At his first arrest, he was wearing an Italian silk suit, which he gave away after sitting in a cell with his feet up to avoid the urine and the cockroaches on the floor.
In a 1982 interview he said of the gains of the civil rights movement, "In my judgment, in the '60s we made three steps forward and since then we've made two steps backward. So the net gain is one step. And unless we're very careful we might lose that one step."
Born in South Boston, Va., the son of a Methodist minister, he preached his first sermon at the age of 7 at a church in Lincolnton, N.C. His father was the pastor.
At the age of 14, he was an assistant at a church in Winston-Salem, N.C. He later served as pastor of another church there and of a church in Stamford, Conn., before coming to Baltimore in the early 1950s and serving for a time as pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church.
A graduate of Stillman College in Tuscaloosa, Ala., and a member of its board, he earned a doctorate at Boston University. He also held 36 honorary doctorates.
In 1962, he ran for the Democratic nomination for Maryland's 4th Congressional District seat.
His survivors include his wife, the former Dr. Wanda Maynor; a son, I. Logan Kearse II of Atlanta; a daughter, Deborah Ross of Baltimore; two brothers, the Rev. James Kearse of Baltimore and Samuel Kearse of Winston-Salem, N.C.; two sisters, Dr. Emma Kearse of Union Mills, N.C., and Rose Kearse of Baltimore; and six grandchildren.
MLK had several speech writers. I know many people will not believe it, But that is a matter of record. Two of them were card-carrying communists.
“Last year, former FBI director James Comey unapologetically and openly criticised Hoover for spying on Dr King.”
Wait. I thought Comey said the FBI doesn’t spy, only investigates?
What everyone should take away from this is that the FBI has spent more time on spying on IS citizens than in doing anything else. It’s historu is long and ugly. Spying on anyone and everyone was about all the FBI has ever done
Things they haven’t done. Stopped 9/11. Truly investigated TWA 800. Apologized for ruining Arthur Anderson acct firm. Apologized to Richard Kewel or Steven Hatfield
Never mind the truth about MLK, the American people accepted a lie years ago when President Reagan signed the King holiday bill into law in 1983.
As messed up as Hoover and LBJ were, they were spot on about
The Hypocrite Preacher Man.
They want a national holiday for him? Ridiculous.
I’m supposed to trust the FBI? Please
It was sort of hushed up, except for the outrage that the FBI was spying on him.
What they did not do is release the details to destroy his reputation.
Of course, back then, if a girl went up to a man's motel room, she was presumed to be agreeing to sex. So it's not exactly “rape rape”, to quote Whoopie Goldberg.
Things have changed: Bill Cosby asked girls to go up to his hotel room for sex and offered them “downers” to take first, and even though they agreed to these things, now the girls now claim they are victims. Things have changed.
Comey is a damned fool. If he had read all the King files, he would have kept his damned fool mouth shut, but being an narcistic egomaniac, he couldn’t resist putting his big foot in it.
This Willard Hotel sexcapade might only be the first revealed such event with Dr. King, and not just in this country.
If Garrow stops being a leftist fool and does apply his considerable skills as a historian to looking at the larger picture, he will know that he has to rewrite his book “The FBI and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr” because he left out so much about King’s associates, many of whom were either Communist Party USA members or supporters (at various times - ie. Wyatt T. Walker, Ralph D. Abernathy who later defected from the Soviet KGB front, the World Peace Council, Stoney Cook (limited contacts), Rev. Willie Barrows (hardcore red - Castro supporter), and Rev. Jesse Jackson.
King’s top advisors/aides were admitted CPUSA member and KGB asset, Stanley Levison (Sen. Committee (Church Com) hearings/files on FBI operations), and the other half of the KGB sandwich, Jack O’Dell, aka Jack Vesey, aka Hunter Pitts O’Dell (House Comm. on Un-American Activities, “Communist Infiltration and Activities in the South”, 85th Congress, 2nd Session, July 29, 30 and 31, 1958, including his testimony - took the 5th).
Jackson hired O’Dell after he was supposedly fired by King from his SCLC (Southern Christian Leadership Conference) for Operation Breadbasket, Op. PUSH and the Rainbow Coalition. O’Dell’s CPUSA and Soviet fronts record would be a book in its own right.
O’Dell was also Jackson’s key contact man with Papa Assad in Syria, Arafat (a KGB operative if you didn’t know already), behind the anti-Israel/pro-PLO Jackson platforms for the Democratic National Convention (and own presidential campaign plans for 1984 and 1988. One reason Jackson got his balls kicked in in 1988 was because one of the last true Roosevelt liberals put out the word that Jackson was a pawn for the Communists via O’Dell. Long story but maybe I can reveal it one day. I had a role in it.
Garrow started to expose the FBI’s top Kremlin penetration operation (Operation SOLO) in his books on the FBI and King, so the Bureau let former Naval Intelligence officer John Barron of the Readers Digest, release his long held book - Operation SOLO - about the FBI’s man in the Kremlin, Morris Childs, in 1995.
The operation was run by FBI Asst Dir for Counter-Intelligence Ray Wannall. I used to have lunch with both gentlemen and half the “spook” community from WW II and after (OSS, ONI, then the CIA, DIA, FBI etc).
Our guys knew what was going on and so did Hoover. McCarthy was a loose cannon but his information was accurate despite his nasty manner of running a congressional hearing. See the book “”Blacklisted by History”, M. Stanton Evans, on McCarthy. Stan was a friend and mentor, and published my second study on communism, the Senate being the first.
Talk about McDowell Luncheon Group/Accuracy in Media lunches. We had more prize winner writers in one room than most other places except the Press Club (that’s where I had lunch with some other Pulitzer Prize writers including Frank Kluckhon (sp), former Communist Party/then HCUA staffer Ben Mandel, a blessed memory, Latin American expert Daniel James (Guatemala), and others including Pulitzer winner Isaac Don Levine.
Today’s writers on the Left suck and always have. They were hacks back then and still are today, and some were just fools while others were traitors, but the NY Times and the Wash. Post kept publishing their trash as though is was the truth.
Today, with the new breed of journalists (Sullivan, Carter, Atkinson, Jarrett, DiGenova, Bongino, etc.), we are finally learning the truth about the Democrat corruption of the FBI, CIA, DNI and possibly the NSA. Their leaders range from incompetent to treasonous while the people I mentioned above (and didn’t mention such as my late father-in-law who helped stop any Soviet Bloc invasion of W. Germany, etc), are the real heros of America’s security.
One day all of this will come out IF the relevant documents are not DESTROYED at the National Archives. There is so much more to communist penetration of America than jut the civil rights movement, Hollywood, etc. The media was right up there as a target and willing disinformation/smear partner against real patriots, and if the files on scores of US congressmen/women/Senators and some of their staff were to be totally declassified, you’d be lining up for the firing squads needed to clean out the treason that has existed so long, protected by the Democrats and Soviet operatives posing as Democrats (Conyers Jr., Crockett, Hayes, Dellums (a Castro/Maurice Bishop man), the Burtons, etc.
This King/FBI story’s new turn is only the first step in exposing what the Democrats fear the most, that the American people will find out that they have been America’s “ENEMIES WITHIN” since the 1930’s, protected by FDR (Lauchlin Curie, Harry Hopkins, Hiss, White, Coe, Remington and some you’d never suspect as traitors), even Truman to some degree, then by Carter, Clinton and perhaps one of the Soviet’s top penetration successes, Barack Hussein Obama and some of his top staff.
The truth is out there, if you are willing to work and look for it instead of taking in leftist media slop and calling it Beef Burganion”.
