of the FBI and the CIA. All of this needs to be kept in mind by those who
are inclined to take a negative view of Martin Luther King. You can indeed
judge a man by his enemies.
I would add, though, that I have, in fact, discovered some interesting
items in William Pepper's books that do suggest, perhaps, that there is some
sort of Israeli connection, or, at the least, that there are some leads that
haven't been followed through (which do point, again, to an Israeli
connection of some sort or another. I will say, up front, that I realize that
this statement is going to cause a lot of people to say, "Oh come on now.
Piper's not satisfied with finding an Israeli connection to the JFK
assassination. Now he's trying to link the Israelis to the King assassination."
But bear with me. Hear me out.
First of all, as we already noted in the chapter on Jack Ruby, William
Pepper has noted, in his book, An Act of State, connections between Jack
Ruby and James Earl Ray's ubiquitous handler, "Raul," to a Mossad-linked
arms smuggling operation that was active at the time of the JFK
assassination. So that's a Mossad connection any way you cut it.
In his first book Orders to Kill, on page 435, William Pepper describes
his inquiries into the background of Canadian Eric S. Galt whose identity
James Earl Ray adopted during part of his wide-ranging travels. Here's
what Pepper reports:
"I learned that Galt, who as we know was the executive warehouse
operator at Union Carbide's factory in Toronto, had top secret security
clearance. The warehouse he ran housed an extremely top secret munitions
project funded by the CIA, the U.S. Naval Surface Weapons Center, and the
Army Electronics Research and Development Command. The work
involved the production and storage of 'proximity fuses' used in surface-toair
missiles, artillery shells, and LAWS . . . The company was engaged in
high-security research projects controlled by the U.S. parent . . . Union
Carbide's nuclear division ran the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak
Ridge, Tennessee."
(Don't forget, incidentally, in reference to the nuclear programs at Oak
Ridge, Tennessee, that, according to Dick Russell in The Man Who Knew
Too Much, writing on page 361, that on July 26, 1963 someone signed "Lee
H. Oswald, USSR, Dallas Road, Dallas, Texas" into the register at the
Atomic Energy Museum in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. However, according to
Russell, the FBI later determined that this was not Oswald's signature. So I
ask: Is that a connection between the JFK assassination and the King
assassination—or isn't it?)
In August 1967, reports Pepper, Galt was "cooperating with another
902 [Military Intelligence Group] operation that involved the theft of some
of these proximity fuses and their covert delivery to Israel." According to
Pepper, he obtained "a confidential memorandum issued by the 902nd MIG
on 17 October 1967 which confirms and discusses this operation, Project
MEXPO, which was defined as a 'military material exploitation project of
the Scientific and Technical Division (S&T) . . . in Israel.'"
