least the following books: 1) Murder in Memphis by Mark Lane and Dick
Gregory. Mark represented Dr. King's accused assassin, James Earl Ray, in
several of his legal battles and Gregory, like Mark, has investigated both the
JFK and King assassinations; 2) Orders To Kill by William Pepper, an
attorney who has been representing Ray in recent years. This book (and its
follow-up, An Act of State) demonstrate that there is much, much more to
the King case than meets the eye; and last but far from least: 3) James Earl
Ray's own book, Who Killed Martin Luther King?
I had some correspondence with Ray over the years and once had the
opportunity to speak with him over a radio show. Ray was quite a writer
and his book is absolutely fascinating. It's one of the most dramatic books
I've ever read, because it's written in Ray's own words.
As far as any connections between the King assassination and the
murder of JFK, there do seem to be connections between people tied to
Carlos Marcello, the New Orleans Mafia boss, to the King assassination.
And needless to say there are also indications of American intelligence
involvement on many, many levels.
When one considers the fact that the Israeli Mossad's American
conduit, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) of B'nai B'rith spied
extensively on Dr. King, one cannot help but think that there was intense
(covert) hostility to Dr. King within the upper ranks of the American Jewish
community. The ADL was turning its illicitly obtained intelligence on Dr.
King over to the FBI, so frankly much of the hype that we hear about the
FBI's persecution of Dr. King is evidence, indeed, of ADL involvement in
this scandal. We should not discount the idea that the Israelis likewise had a
hand in King's assassination in light of the ADL's complicity in waging
war against the Black leader.
King was most assuredly not a victim of a Ku Klux Klan or "hate
group" conspiracy. He was a victim of an Establishment conspiracy and
probably for the very reason that he was rocking the Establishment's boat.
King (along with another Black leader, Malcolm X, also slain, like King,
under mysterious circumstances) threatened to bring the Black community
out from under the heel of powerful forces within the Establishment who
preferred to keep Blacks under control—in the slave pen, so to speak.
There are more than a few who suspect that organized crime, too, may
have played a role in the King assassination conspiracy, for the criminal
underworld, best personified by international mob kingpin Meyer Lansky,
was making billions off the Black community through drugs, gambling,
prostitution, labor racketeering and other money-making enterprises.
King's push for Black self-assertion was a threat to Lansky and his
cronies, as well as to their partners-in-crime in the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and the Central Intelligence Agency, both entities we now
know have been rife with mob-influenced corruption. What's more, King's
growing respect among Third World leaders was a distinct threat to the
CIA's international intrigues. In fact, much of the allegations that King and
certain Third World leaders, Black and White alike, were "communists" or
under the influence of communism came right out of the propaganda mills
