    Character Dispute

    Martin Luther King pro-CCP suspect

    The FBI has accused Martin Luther King of being a dangerous subversive communist because he attended a Communist Party training class in 1957 and, in a speech, claimed that he was "basically a a Marxist". In addition, Martin Luther King has two friends with links to leftist groups. 

    Martin Luther King Private Life

    Former FBI Deputy Director Mark Felt chronicled Martin Luther King's "unbridled sexuality in a closed hotel room" in his 2007 book, "A Secret Life: A Deep Throat Memoir." behavior". The British "Daily Mail" published an article saying that former US first lady Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy Onassis disclosed in an interview that Robert Francis "Bobby" Kennedy told her that FBI records show that before the 1963 Washington parade, , Martin Luther King is also planning a one-off party. In addition, the report said that Martin Luther King had used the tax refund money of the civil rights organization he founded to recruit white prostitutes.
    Human rights pastor Ralph Abernethy, who was close to Martin Luther King, published an autobiography titled "Come Down with the Wall" in 1989, which also mentioned Martin Luther King's private life. But in this book there is no such content as "calling prostitutes", "having sex with white women" and "misappropriating organization funds to call prostitutes". Abernathy admits in the book that Martin Luther King had extramarital sex, but according to him, even the objects of extramarital affairs were not white women.
    Writer David Garro is an admirer of Martin Luther King. In his book "Bearing the Cross" published in 1986, he mentioned more and more details about Martin Luther King's "Peach Rumors", the book called Martin Luther King "has extramarital sex partners every day." For this book, the general evaluation of book critics is "very vividly written, but the detailed description of Martin Luther King's sexual life lacks evidence". Even so, there are no such descriptions as "calling prostitutes" and "sexual eccentricities". 

    Martin Luther King plagiarism

    The allegation about Martin Luther King's "graduation thesis plagiarism" has always existed. His thesis review tutor once accused him of "quoting too much", but at the same time pointed out that he did not deliberately hide it, and all citations were marked with the source, so the paper still passed the test. In 1991, a special investigative committee of Boston University deliberately reached an official conclusion on the rumors of Martin Luther King's "graduating thesis plagiarism", upholding the original supervisor's ruling that this is a "defective" paper due to excessive citations, but does not involve Plagiarism or unethical conduct, so the degree is valid. 
    The plagiarism accusation in "I have a Dream" is that Martin Luther King plagiarized a speech by black pastor Carey at the Republican National Convention in 1952. But in fact the two speeches have only one thing in common, that is, they both adopt and rewrite the parallel lines in the patriotic poem "America" ​​by Father Samuel F. resounding" and the following "from somewhere to a place", and the place names listed in the two are different. Obviously, the two speeches only coincided in one place, and they used the same allusions. 

    Martin Luther King excludes whites

    Although Martin Luther King's ideal has always been to create a just society with racial integration, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference he led was deliberately limited to black people and the South, not focusing on "black power". He has a very practical reason , that is, to avoid southern whites from thinking he was being manipulated by northern "bad whites", and to avoid the FBI's suspicion of Communist infiltration. His consideration actually created another "apartheid". 

    The Mystery of the Assassination of Martin Luther King

    ①The real name of the murderer who killed Martin Luther King was James Earl Ray . He was a robbery habitual criminal who was sentenced to 20 years in prison and escaped in April 1967. He moved into Mrs Bessie's rental apartment on the morning of April 4, 1968, and shot Martin Luther King to death in the evening. Earl Ray confessed to his crime and was sentenced to 99 years in prison. However, Martin Luther King's family is very dissatisfied with the hasty judgment of the court. They believe that Martin Luther King's murder is not only the murderer. And James Earl Ray denounced his confession three days after the verdict came into effect, claiming that he was innocent. He was framed by a CIA named Lauer, but the court ignored his denunciation. During the next 29 years in prison, Ray made eight appeals, all of which were dismissed.
    What is puzzling is the successful escape of James Earl Ray in 1967. He was thrown out of his car while driving away after robbing a grocery store, and left his passbook while stealing a typewriter, both unsuccessfully. But he managed to escape from prison in 1967 and lived a rich and decent life all at once. This casts suspicion on the FBI's involvement in the case. The FBI had paid attention to Martin Luther King's actions as early as the 1950s, and in 1964 developed the "Kill Miss King" program. At the press conference, FBI Director Hoover even accused Martin Luther King of being the biggest liar in the country. A few days before Martin Luther King won the Nobel Peace Prize; Norwegian, the FBI sent a letter to Martin Luther King, in which the FBI threatened Martin Luther King to commit suicide with insulting language   .
    ②In 1993, the retired owner of a restaurant in Memphis, Lloyd Joles, suddenly admitted on TV that he was the mastermind of the Martin Luther King case, saying that someone gave him $100,000 in assassination money. He did not describe in detail the day Kim was assassinated. He picked a room with a good shooting angle and had a police officer assassinate Kim.
    ③In 1995, an American named Pepper spent nearly 20 years quietly investigating the King case. An assassination plot has been proposed for the first time, involving the Mafia, the FBI, the CIA and the military. In 1999, a jury in the United States ruled that the death of Martin Luther King was a shocking assassination plot by multiple forces and was not planned by the gunman alone. Juror Murphy said he believed the stabbing was too complex to be committed by a single person. According to Pepa's evidence, many people were involved in the case, including everyone in the CIA and the military.
    ④In January 2001, the Florida pastor Wilson revealed to the "New York Times" reporter that the direct culprit in the killing of Martin Luther King was his deceased father Henry. Henry was the leader of a three-person team that shot and killed Martin Luther King in 1968. Wilson pointed out that although Henry was not a Racist, he felt that communism had something to do with Martin Luther King, so Martin Luther King had to be killed. But Wilson did not provide any other evidence for his claims.
