The Truth About Martin Luther King Jr.

You Won't Look at the Leader of the Civil Rights Movement the Same Again

Before the week closes out, I wanted to take a moment to write about the man who became the face of the Civil Rights Movement. There is a dark and largely unknown side of Martin Luther King Jr. that the public may want to consider before praising his work and who he was as a person. It is truly upsetting to see how much society has been duped into believing the mainstream history and accounting of this man and the life that he lived. So, let us take a closer look…

Jumping right in, let’s just start with MLK’s blatant ties to Communism. In fact, the threat of MLK being a Communist sympathizer and orchestrator was so credible that the government authorized the wiretapping and surveillance of King and his associates. These wiretaps included the prominent Jewish lawyer Stanley Levison, who was a huge supporter and financier of the Communist Party of the United States of America (CPUSA). This, along with the strong support that the Civil Rights Movement has had from the CPUSA prior to MLK’s time, should be alarming enough, but there is more to discuss.

Before we continue, it is important to acknowledge that many will try to deny these Communist ties and make the claim that this is an unfounded accusation and point to the content of MLK’s speeches, where he has stated that Communism and Christianity were “fundamentally incompatible”. However, if MLK really felt this way, why would he allow another suspected Communist who was involved in both the CPUSA and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference to work so closely with him?? That man was named Jack O’Dell, and MLK was warned to cut ties with not only O’Dell, but with Levison as well. Publicly, the optics were that King did as he was told. Instead, he was still using middle-men to communicate and coordinate with these Communists. Why do that if there is nothing to hide?

In addition to these Communist ties, the surveillance also led to other revelations about King and his activities. In a recording that was captured in a 1964 hotel room encounter, MLK can be heard laughing and offering advice to a Baptist minister who was forcibly raping a woman. This recording, among others, was set under seal until the year 2027. However, some of this information was made available with the initial release of the JFK Files. Other researchers have tried to get this information to go public, and the media outlets refused to cover the bombshell revelations.

In addition to bearing witness to rape, King was a philanderer and a womanizer, having many extramarital relationships with women who included Dorothy Cotton, Dolores Evans, and Georgia Powers, who went on to pen a book about her relationship with the Reverend. The FBI file also alleges that King would take part in drunken sex orgies. Shortly after his death, MLK’s misdeeds would be publicly confirmed by his close friend and confidant Ralph Abernathy. I recognize that many would argue that the private activities of a man should not interfere with their political role, I disagree. People should have transparency from folks that are putting themselves in the public eye and trying to lead a movement of any type. The type of person you are outside of politics also says a lot about who you are as a person.

I also have my own thoughts about why someone like MLK was chosen to be the poster child for the Civil Rights Movement, and not someone like say, Malcom X. I believe it is because the Communists knew that King could be controlled and that he would toe their Marxist line. Malcom X was considered too controversial and too radical for their mainstream idea of implementing Communist agenda. Unlike MLK, Malcom X was a proponent of black separatism, wishing for blacks to have their own nation state and live away from whites. This was a sentiment that American Nazi Party founder George Lincoln Rockwell shared with regard to white separatism. The two men could be found supporting one another at various rallies and speeches. This sort of separatist ideology was dangerous for Communist exploits and I believe it has a lot to do with why MLK was the posterchild and not a man like Malcom X.

At the end of the day, my aim here was to expose the side of Martin Luther King Jr. that many, including myself until my research, are not aware of. We should not be having public holidays for this man and taking days off of work and school to raise his name in exalt when he is such a cretinous degenerate. I know others before me have put this information out as well, so I wonder why kids are still taught about this man in school or why entire cities and their councils plan parades and celebrations for him. At the very least, I hope anyone who reads this learns something of value and shares the information with another person.
