The report, which was recently discovered by historian and professor Beverly Gage, shows an unclassified version of the famous letter that the FBI sent King, suggesting that he should kill himself because they had so much dirt on him.

President Lyndon Johnson shakes hands with the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., after handing him one of the pens used in signing the Civil Rights Act of July 2, 1964 at the White House in Washington.

If you were watching the news in the 1960’s you would have seen that Martin Luther King was out to destroy America and that the good policemen were only doing their jobs by beating and arresting civil rights protesters.

At that time the civil rights movement was a serious threat to the establishment, so much so that government agencies developed a program to target and silence civil rights leaders, this program was called “COINTELPRO”. It is this program that many researchers believe is responsible for the deaths of Martin Luther King, Malcolm X and other civil rights activists.

Now, newly declassified documents published by The New York Times show the sickening depths that the FBI went to in their operations against Martin Luther King. The report, which was recently discovered by historian and professor Beverly Gage, shows an unclassified version of the famous letter that the FBI sent King, suggesting that he should kill himself because they had so much dirt on him.

The public had already known of this document for decades, but the version that was available was heavily censored, while the new version is a copy of the original uncensored letter.

Below you can see the censored version next to the copy that has been released this week:

As the Electronic Frontier Foundation pointed out this week, the newly released portions of the document show a deliberate attempt to blackmail Dr. King into abandoning his fight for racial equality.

As the EFF pointed out, one portion of the document mentions private information about King’s life that government agents learned through the heavy surveillance that they had conducted on him:

No person can overcome the facts, no even a fraud like yourself. Lend your sexually psychotic ear to the enclosure. You will find yourself and in all your dirt, filth, evil and moronic talk exposed on the record for all time. . . . Listen to yourself, you filthy, abnormal animal. You are on the record.

Then at the end of the letter comes a thinly veiled threat. It is subtly suggested that King kill himself within 34 days or he will be ‘exposed’ or killed depending how you choose to read in between the lines:

King, there is only one thing left for you to do. You know what it is. You have just 34 days in which to do it (this exact number has been selected for a specific reason, it has definite practical significance). You are done. There is but one way out for you. You better take it before your filthy, abnormal fraudulent self is bared to the nation.

The fact that Martin Luther King was an enemy of the state did not silence his message, and even in his death that message was not silenced.

Martin, Malcolm and Muhammad (The MLK they don't show you)

This video will show you the side of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. that the mainstream media wouldn't dare show. Toward the end of Dr. King's life, he was starting to realize the exact thing we realize today... Certain people refuse to change. It doesn't matter the facts presented, It doesn't matter the approach. There is a large majority of this country that are comfortable practicing evil and hate. If that weren't true, How is it a half century later and Racism is STILL one of the major problems on this globe. King started to realize that maybe he had been underestimating Malcom and the words he spoke. Maybe he was underestimating the teacher that had Ali fired up. Then his attitude started shifting, he became more aggressive in his approach. This new attitude is what caused his assassination. This video will give you a glimpse into this attitude when he was no longer buying into the "dream."

From Final call:

Study the last speeches of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and reflect on the evolution of his message—from one of an integrationist “Dreamer” in 1963, to one of a true wide-awake revolutionary in 1968 when he was murdered. It is clear that Dr. King began to consider that Elijah Muhammad had profound relevance to the struggle for Black freedom in America. Dr. King and his wife Coretta met with Elijah Muhammad at his Chicago home on February 24, 1966. Privately, Dr. King indicated a true shift in his belief that the pursuit of “integration” through “non-violent” civil rights struggle would be the answer to the righteous demands of his oppressed people. In the last days of his life, Dr. King confided in his friend Harry Belafonte:

“You know, we fought long and hard for integration…But I tell you, Harry, I’ve come on a realization that really deeply troubles me. I’ve come to the realization that I think we may be integrating into a burning house.”

In 1967, Dr. King, asked, “Why does White America delude itself, and how does it rationalize the evil it retains?” He said White people’s belief in the fairness of America “is a fantasy of self-deception and comfortable vanity.”

His indictment of White America grew harsher and unsparing:

“White Americans left the Negro on the ground and in devastating numbers walked off with the aggressor. It appeared that the White segregationist and the ordinary White citizen had more in common with one another than either had with the Negro.”

Incredibly, he even conceded, “there are points at which I see the necessity for temporary separation as a temporary way-station to a truly integrated society.”

By 1968, Dr. King was unequivocal about the country and the war to which White America and many negro leaders were irrevocably faithful:

“And I am sad to say that the nation in which we live is the supreme culprit. God didn’t call America to engage in a senseless, unjust war, as the war in Vietnam. And we are criminals in that war. We have committed more war crimes almost than any nation in the world, and I’m going to continue to say it.”

In his very last speech in Memphis in the midst of the striking sanitation workers on April 3, 1968, Dr. King was speaking of BLACK RETALIATION against the forces of wickedness using“the power of economic withdrawal.”

“Up to now,” he taught, “only the garbage men have been feeling pain; now we must kind of redistribute the pain.”

The United States government spied on Dr. King and attempted to make his life a living hell and ultimately, they were responsible for the death of our brother on that Memphis motel balcony at 39 years of age. His intellectual and spiritual journey into the mind of God may have been nearly complete. Among Dr. King’s personal effects were notes of a speech he was preparing to deliver on that Sunday titled: “Why America May Go To Hell.”

It is TRULY time that we acknowledge the brilliance of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, and to rescue his legacy from those who would misuse his words to send Blacks into that “burning building.”

This illustrates the deep ignorance of many Americans
