CGI's Lulu: Conspiracy to kill Martin Luther King: Not a
Theory But A Fact
|
Truth is, the American government has been
assassinating American citizens for a very long time. Presidents, scientists,
Whistleblowers, judges, witnesses, Not to mention truthers. Perhaps with the
NDAA they can save some money on the cover up. The Conspiracy to Kill Martin Luther King: Not a Theory But a Fact By Prof. Ira Chernus Global Research, April 04, 2013 Information Clearing House Region: USA Theme: Law and Justice 46 14 1 127 Should the United States government be allowed to assassinate its own citizens? That question was in the air briefly not long ago. April 4 is an excellent day to revive it: On April 4, 1968, the government was part of a successful conspiracy to assassinate the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. That’s not just some wing-nut conspiracy theory. It’s not a theory at all. It is a fact, according to our legal system. In 1999, in Shelby County, Tennessee, Lloyd Jowers was tried before a jury of his peers (made up equally of white and black citizens, if it matters) on the charge of conspiring to kill Dr. King. The jury heard testimony for four full weeks. On the last day of the trial, the attorney for the King family (which brought suit against Jowers) concluded his summation by saying: “We’re dealing in conspiracy with agents of the City of Memphis and the governments of the State of Tennessee and the United States of America. We ask you to find that conspiracy existed.” It took the jury only two-and-half hours to reach its verdict: Jowers and “others, including governmental agencies, were parties to this conspiracy.” I don’t know whether the jury’s verdict reflects the factual truth of what happened on April 4, 1968. Juries have been known to make mistakes and (probably rather more often) juries have made mistakes that remain unknown. But within our system of government, when a crime is committed it’s a jury, and only a jury, that is entitled to decide on the facts. If a jury makes a mistake, the only way to rectify it is to go back into court and establish a more convincing version of the facts. That’s the job of the judicial branch, not the executive. So far, no one has gone into court to challenge the verdict on the King assassination. Yet the version of history most Americans know is very different because it has been shaped much more by the executive than the judicial branch. Right after the jury handed down its verdict, the federal government’s Department of Justice went into high gear, sparing no effort to try to disprove the version of the facts that the jury endorsed — not in a court of law but in the “court” of public opinion.
