Jury Finds Conspiracy in MLK Assassination

King’s prophetic last speech


James Earl Ray- Clinton’s Gitmo Detainee.

Dexter King questions James Earl Ray 

Even though the slug that killed King was broken into three pieces, there were enough marks on it to allow a comparison, and that comparison showed the 12 of 18 bullets did not match.

Even after a Tennessee jury found the King assassination was the result of a conspiracy and not the act of a lone killer, the Clinton Administration refused to allow James Earl Ray his first trial, a Constitutional right Ray was denied since 1968. When questioning Ray, Dexter King made it clear that he and the King family itself believed James Earl Ray was innocent, and they wanted a trial as he had only a few months to live.  Ray was the Gitmo detainee of the Clinton Administration, but with one exception: he was not a foreign terrorist but an American citizen guaranteed those rights. After dragging their feet in the parallel federal investigation, they soon shut it down after the verdict citing “lack of new evidence”, all the while ignoring the compelling evidence presented in the civil trial, the new ballistics findings that challenged the official story, and a startling confession from Donald Wilson, a former FBI agent who searched Ray’s car. Upon Ray’s death, the King family said in a statement something you would not expect regarding the man arrested for the murder of a family member:

“This is a tragedy not only for Mr. Ray, but also for the entire nation… America will never have the benefit of Mr. Ray’s trial, which would have produced new revelations about the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. as well as establish the facts concerning Mr. Ray’s innocence.”

William Pepper- An Act of State; The Execution of MLK-1-29-03


“Truth forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever on the throne, Yet that scaffold sways the future, and, behind the dim unknown, Standeth God within the shadow, keeping watch above his own.”

James Russell Lowell

Back in 1999, a Tennessee jury determined James Earl Ray, the untried and “confessed” assassin of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., could not have acted alone in the assassination, if indeed, he was even involved. Ray had a surprising group of supporters: the King family itself. The King family believed James Earl Ray was innocent, and they wanted a trial, a Constitutional right Ray was denied since 1968. James Earl Ray was indeed the Gitmo detainee of the Clinton Administration, but with one exception: he was not a foreign terrorist but an American citizen guaranteed those rights.

An FBI agent, Donald Wilson, came forth with startling revelations of a cover-up and new ballistics tests exonerated Ray. Despite this, despite the fact there was physical evidence to support his claim, Wilson was senselessly attacked by peers and faceless minions of the Clinton administration. The administration’s faux Civil Rights division turned a blind eye. The VP, Al Gore, was a senator from this very state, but as the public interest in the King case and Ray’s first trial grew, it was Gore and Clinton’s silence- if not tacit obstruction of the trial- that was most disturbing. Once again, it was obvious both would choose to “protect their own” at the expense of the nation, once again appealing to their special brand of secret fraternal inbreeding to produce another stillbirth of justice.

It was a given ultra-conservative elements in Tennessee’s local government would try to stymie any investigation into the segregationist masons of 1968 who ruled by night, or in secret council, as Klansmen. What was not a given was that a senator so outwardly moral and friendly to the black community could be callous enough to obstruct, by deed or silence, a 31 year old murder of one of America’s most revered leaders. The King family believed Ray was innocent, and they wanted a trial, a Constitutional right Ray was denied.

Some of the leaders who hated King then are in office now, few have changed, what is curious is that they act like the truth would mark them all as accomplices, else why the effort to silence informed critics of the official story? At the time of King’s death, the Klan was embedded in the US military, particularly because of the draft. These elements, particularly officers and generals sympathetic to the Klan, became useful to segregationist leaders of the deep south via black ops and intelligence gathering.

The war against communism meant a war against integration, this was the official line of segregationist cabals and it is believed to this day. Moreover, many in the Klan were war profiteers. Many were also Democrats at the time, tacitly. It was 1968, the Civil Rights movement was about to reach it’s most violent moments. The was the setting of the assassination, without it little makes sense, but it is the first thing most people ignore. Despite this jury finding of conspiracy in the assassination of Martin Luther King, the Attorney General of the time under the Clinton Administration, Janet Reno, declined to investigate the King case, the clock was ticking, as a key witness to unraveling the case was dying of liver disease. What were they afraid we’d find? that Washington cabals make laws in secret, and hold themselves above the law of the land by virtue of a secret handshake or glorified decoder ring? Most of us know that, it’s probably why two-thirds of Americans hate Congress. In early July of 1997, a Memphis judge determined that ballistics tests conducted on the rifle of James Earl Ray, right, his convicted assassin; betrayed the possibility that another gun was used in the murder. Moreover, King’s own family was pressing for Ray’s first trial, which is a constitutional guarantee that was never honored.

Ray was dying of liver disease, and the state of Tennessee, in a transparent effort to hasten his death, had gone as far as to refuse him the opportunity to leave the state for a transplant operation. (The judge denying the motion for Ray’s first trial was Criminal Court Judge Cheryl Blackburn.) While the obvious implication is that now dead Ray will have nothing incriminating to tell about state and federal authorities, thereby maintaining the cover-up; the depravity and cruelty of the state officials who insured his death by denying Ray medical care will incriminate them more forcefully than any words could.

Jury Finds Conspiracy in Assassination

Even though the slug that killed King was broken into three pieces, there were enough marks on it to allow a comparison, and that comparison showed the 12 of 18 bullets did not match. In 1999, a Tennessee jury ruled that Ray could not have acted alone. Inexplicably, citing lack of evidence supporting a conspiracy, the Justice Department’s first act was to drop the parallel investigation into the assassination; its self-incriminating actions serving only to validate juror consensus of government (read that LBJ’s) complicity.

Days after the murder of Martin Luther King Jr., former FBI agent Donald Wilson, claims he searched the abandoned car of the one man who confessed to killing King — James Earl Ray. Wilson said a small white envelope fell from underneath a door panel in Ray’s car, but he never turned it over to the FBI and did not disclose its contents until last year. The FBI attacked Agent Wilson’s credibility, questioning whether he, as a rookie agent, even had access to Ray’s car.

However, the FBI has a credibility crisis of its own. After its handling of the Kennedy assassination under the reins of J. Edgar Hoover; which included unchecked evidence destruction and witness intimidation, and finally the total rejection of its conclusions in 1977-78 by the House Select Committee on Assassinations; the FBI is appealing to the results of a mock inquiry to assert its credibility. For example; former CIA Director Allen Dulles, a logical suspect in the assassination, reported directly to two other suspects, Hoover and Johnson, while a chair on the long discredited Warren Commission. Donald Wilson claims he didn’t immediately tell his superiors about what he found because he didn’t want them to know that he tampered with the crime scene, and because Ray had already confessed.

A telephone number at the top of one of those papers was that of Jack Ruby’s nightclub in Dallas. Ruby, of course, murdered Lee Harvey Oswald, a key part of insuring his trial wouldn’t expose Oswald’s status as an FBI employee at the time of his murder. Oswald, a double agent freshly culled from CIA operations in Russia, was hired by Hoover under the pretense he would infiltrate a communist conspiracy to assassinate President Kennedy. Part of the “play” included pro-Castro television and radio appearances on CBS and other network stations; where he discussed his Free Play for Cuba front organization. This made him the perfect “communist” patsy, particularly when Oswald realized there was a plan afoot to assassinate Kennedy in Dallas. Ironically, Lee Harvey Oswald tipped off the FBI on September 17, 1963 that an assassination was being plotted. Later, William S. Walters, a security clerk employed in the Bureau’s New Orleans office, gave D.A. Jim Garrison an affidavit stating that on the morning of November 17, 1963, he read a TWX that warned “an attempt to assassinate President Kennedy would be made in Dallas on November 22, 1963.” This was Oswald last unheeded warning. Jack Ruby, who had ties with mob and the Dallas police chief, was hired to “arrow”, or kill the patsy. And so he did.

The papers also contain the name Raul. Ray claimed a man with that name orchestrated King’s murder.

RFK’s Statement on the Assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.

by Robert F. Kennedy

Indianapolis, Indiana April 4, 1968

I have some very sad news for all of you, and I think… for all of our fellow citizens, and people who love peace all over the world, and that is that Martin Luther King was shot and killed tonight. Martin Luther King dedicated his life to love and to justice for his fellow human beings, and he died because of that effort… Or we can make an effort, as Martin Luther King did, to understand and to comprehend, and to replace that violence, that stain of bloodshed that has spread across our land, with an effort to understand with compassion and love.

For those of you who are black and are tempted to be filled with hatred and distrust at the injustice of such an act, against all white people, I can only say that I feel in my own heart the same kind of feeling. I had a member of my family killed, but he was killed by a white man. But we have to make an effort in the United States, we have to make an effort to understand, to go beyond these rather difficult times.

Or we can make an effort, as Martin Luther King did, to understand and to comprehend, and to replace that violence, that stain of bloodshed that has spread across our land, with an effort to understand with compassion and love. For those of you who are black and are tempted to be filled with hatred and distrust at the injustice of such an act, against all white people, I can only say that I feel in my own heart the same kind of feeling. I had a member of my family killed, but he was killed by a white man. But we have to make an effort in the United States, we have to make an effort to understand, to go beyond these rather difficult times. My favorite poet was Aeschylus. He wrote:

”In our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.”

What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence or lawlessness; but love and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or they be black

So I shall ask you tonight to return home, to say a prayer for the family of Martin Luther King, that’s true, but more importantly to say a prayer for our own country, which all of us love–a prayer for understanding and that compassion of which I spoke. We can do well in this country. We will have difficult times; we’ve had difficult times in the past; we will have difficult times in the future. It is not the end of violence; it is not the end of lawlessness; it is not the end of disorder. But the vast majority of white people and the vast majority of black people in this country want to live together, want to improve the quality of our life, and want justice for all human beings who abide in our land. Let us dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago: to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world.
