| "There's been a whitewash in the media over the past couple days over what the U.S.'s role in the world is, and the fact that they kill hundreds of thousands of people per year to protect profit. Now how can I get to the point where I could be saying that on the world stage, and interrupt the lies that CBS, CNN, NBC, and everyone is saying? In my view, that [would be] by keeping the cover. Not because I think by looking at the cover you get all of this message that I'm telling you, but as a way to have a platform to interrupt the stream of lies that are being told right now." |
Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370: Crabs
I Quote The Enemy:
The second theory for the virtual disappearance of 269 people from the site of the crash is suggested by Soviet correspondent Andrey Illesh in his book, The Mystery of Korean Boeing 747. This theory proposes that the bodies were eaten by giant crabs. There is even a picture of one of those crabs that supposedly populate the sea bottom where KAL 007 finally came to rest.
The crab theory has been persistent and been echoed by the Soviet interceptor pilot Gennadie Osipovich himself (though evidently not with full conviction).
“…I heard that they had found the ‘Boeing’ when I was still on Sakhalin. And even investigated it. But no one saw people there. I, however, explain that by the fact that there are crabs in the sea off Sakhalin that immediately devour everything… I did hear that they found only a hand in a black glove. Perhaps it was the hand of the pilot of the aircraft that I shot down. You know, even now I cannot really believe that there were passengers on board. You cannot write off everyone to the crabs… Surely something would be left?… Nevertheless, I am a supporter of the old version: It was a spy plane. In any event, it was not happenstance that it flew towards us.”
Professor William Newman, marine biologist, explains why the crab (or any other sea creature) theory is untenable: “Even if we proceed from the supposition that crustaceans, or sharks, or something else fell upon the flesh, the skeletons should have remained. In many cases, skeletons were found on the sea or ocean floor, which had sat there for many years and, even decades. In addition, the crustaceans would not have touched bones.”
In addition, the crab theory could not account for the lack of luggage.

China and Islam
You can't break Chinese Communism (what's left of it) with Christianity, Shock Therapy or Levi jeans.
You can break it with Islam.
The British Empire learnt this lesson by the 1830s.
Islam literally (of course) means "submission".
Islam is by it's nature anti-colonialist, psuedo-socialist and anti-masonic.
The British, for example invented the Ba'hai faith in 1838 because the Muslims of the British Raj would not submit to British rule or acknowledge Imperial hedgemony and authority.
The structure of Freemasonry, the Secret Structure and Shadow Government of Empire would not take in Muslim nations, where Secret Oaths, pledges and pledges of subservient submission to those things other than Allah were haram - only in Turkey, and only in Metropolitain Northern Turkey were the British networks able to get a lodge system established in under the "modernising" wave of the Young Turks in the twilight days of the Ottoman Empire.

Here's where all the Muslim majority regions in China are, along the Russian border regions.
Exactly where all the oil is.
Right by Afghanistan and Tibet.

Quotes from The Grand Chessboard (1997)
"Moreover, they [the Central Asian Republics] are of importance from the standpoint of security and historical ambitions to at least three of their most immediate and more powerful neighbors, namely Russia, Turkey and Iran, with China also signaling an increasing political interest in the region. But the Eurasian Balkans are infinitely more important as a potential economic prize: an enormous concentration of natural gas and oil reserves is located in the region, in addition to important minerals, including gold." (p.124)

"...To put it in a terminology that harkens back to the more brutal age of ancient empires, the three grand imperatives of imperial geostrategy are to prevent collusion and maintain security dependence among the vassals, to keep tributaries pliant and protected, and to keep the barbarians from coming together."
(p.40)
"Henceforth, the United States may have to determine how to cope with regional coalitions that seek to push America out of Eurasia, thereby threatening America's status as a global power." (p.55)
"Uzbekistan, nationally the most vital and the most populous of the central Asian states, represents the major obstacle to any renewed Russian control over the region. Its independence is critical to the survival of the other Central Asian states, and it is the least vulnerable to Russian pressures." (p. 121)
"Uzbekistan is, in fact, the prime candidate for regional leadership in Central Asia." (p.130)
"Once pipelines to the area have been developed, Turkmenistan's truly vast natural gas reserves augur a prosperous future for the country's people.” (p.132)
"In fact, an Islamic revival - already abetted from the outside not only by Iran but also by Saudi Arabia - is likely to become the mobilizing impulse for the increasingly pervasive new nationalisms, determined to oppose any reintegration under Russian - and hence infidel - control." (p. 133).

VINE: Ehud Barak is also here, the former Israeli Prime Minister. What did you think, Mr Barak, watching those pictures again?
EHUD BARAK: It's a clear act of war. I believe that Tony Blair put it correctly. It is a time for action, not for just interviews, and a time for action by the whole world community, co-ordinating a concerted effort in on the level of diplomatic economy, but more than anything else, intelligence and operations to launch a full-scale struggle against world terror. It is all our Western civilisation is now under attack. No way to ignore it, we know the names of these rogue countries, we know the names of the organisations. The intelligence community know to tell us where they are deployed and it is a time for action, even if it is going to be a very tough and painful and maybe struggle that will stretch over a few years.
VINE: Were you surprised it could happen?
BARAK: I was not surprised by the attempt to destroy the twin towers - it already happened. But the combination and simultaneous effect of different places or different kind of aeroplanes were hijacked at the same time in a co-ordinated way is quite surprising.
NATO Nation Building
Operation Gladio: CIA Network of “Stay Behind” Secret Armies
The "Sacrifice" of Aldo Moro
Through NATO, working with various Western European intelligence agencies, the CIA set up a network of stay behind “secret armies” which were responsible for dozens of terrorist atrocities across Western Europe over decades. This report will focus on the stay behind army in Italy, as it is the most documented. Its codename was Operation Gladio, the ‘Sword’.
An Overview
The Purpose of the ‘Stay Behind’ Armies
In the early 1950s, the United States began training networks of “stay behind” volunteers in Western Europe, so that in the event of a Soviet invasion, they would “gather intelligence, open escape routes and form resistance movements.” The CIA financed and advised these groups, later working in tandem with western European military intelligence units under the coordination of a NATO committee. In 1990, Italian and Belgian investigators started researching the links between these “stay behind armies” and the occurrence of terrorism in Western Europe for a period of 20 years.[1]
‘Secret Armies’ or Terrorist Groups?
These “stay behind” armies colluded with, funded and often even directed terrorist organizations throughout Europe in what was termed a “strategy of tension” with the aim of preventing a rise of the left in Western European politics. NATO’s “secret armies” engaged in subversive and criminal activities in several countries. In Turkey in 1960, the stay behind army, working with the army, staged a coup d’état and killed Prime Minister Adnan Menderes; in Algeria in 1961, the French stay-behind army staged a coup with the CIA against the French government of Algiers, which ultimately failed; in 1967, the Greek stay-behind army staged a coup and imposed a military dictatorship; in 1971 in Turkey, after a military coup, the stay-behind army engaged in “domestic terror” and killed hundreds; in 1977 in Spain, the stay behind army carried out a massacre in Madrid; in 1980 in Turkey, the head of the stay behind army staged a coup and took power; in 1985 in Belgium, the stay behind attacked and shot shoppers randomly in supermarkets, killing 28; in Switzerland in 1990, the former head of the Swiss stay behind wrote the US Defense Department he would reveal “the whole truth,” and was found the next day stabbed to death with his own bayonet; and in 1995, England revealed that the MI6 and SAS helped set up stay behind armies across Western Europe.[2]
The Birth of Operation Gladio
A ‘Strategy of Tension’
In 1990, the Italian Prime Minister had confirmed that Italy’s “stay behind” army, termed “Gladio” (Sword), existed since 1958, with the approval of the Italian government. In the early 1970s, Italy’s communist support was growing, so the government turned to a “Strategy of Tension” using the Gladio network. At a top secret 1972 Gladio meeting, one official referred to making a “pre-emptive attack” on the Communists. As the Guardian reported, links between Gladio in Italy, all three Italian secret services and Italy’s P2 Masonic Lodge were well documented, as the head of each intelligence unit was a member of the P2 Lodge.[3]
Setting up the Network
In 1949, the CIA helped set up the Italian secret armed forces intelligence unit, named SIFAR, staffed in part with former members of Mussolini’s secret police. It later changed its name to SID. At the end of World War 2, a former Nazi collaborator, Licio Gelli, was facing execution for his activities during the war, but managed to escape by joining the US Army Counter-Intelligence Corps. In the 1950s, Gelli was recruited by SIFAR. Gelli was also head of the P2 Masonic Lodge in Italy, and in 1969, he developed close ties with General Alexander Haig, who was then Assistant to National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger. Through this network, Gelli became chief intermediary between the CIA and General De Lorenzo, Chief of the SID.[4]
Gladio Creates ‘Tension’
Gladio was involved in a silent coup d’état in Italy, when General Giovanni de Lorenzo forced the Italian Socialist Ministers to leave the government.[5] On December 12, 1969, a bomb exploded at the National Agrarian Bank, which killed 17 people and wounded 88 others. That afternoon, three more bombs exploded in Rome and Milan. US intelligence was informed ahead of time of the bombing, but did not inform the Italian authorities.[6] In 2000, a former Italian Secret Service General stated that the CIA “gave its tacit approval to a series of bomb attacks in Italy in the 1960s and 1970s.”[7] The bombing was linked to two neofascists and to an SID agent.[8]
Testifying in a court case trying four men accused of involvement in the 1969 bank bombing in Milan, General Gianadelio Maletti, former head of military counter-intelligence from 1971 to 1975, stated that his unit discovered evidence that explosives were supplied to a right wing Italian terrorist group from Germany, and that US intelligence may have aided in the transfer of explosives. He was quoted as saying that the CIA, “following the directives of its government, wanted to create an Italian nationalism capable of halting what it saw as a slide to the left and, for this purpose, it may have made use of rightwing terrorism,” and that, “I believe this is what happened in other countries as well.”[9]
The Report
The Italian government released a 300-page report on Gladio operations in Italy in 2000, documenting connections with the United States. It declared that the US was responsible for inspiring a “strategy of tension.” In examining why those who committed the bombings in Italy were rarely caught, the report said, “those massacres, those bombs, those military actions had been organised or promoted or supported by men inside Italian state institutions and, as has been discovered, by men linked to the structures of United States intelligence.”[10]
The Red Brigades
The Red Brigades were a leftist Italian terrorist organization that was formed in 1970. In 1974, Red Brigade founders Renato Curcio and Alberto Franceschini were arrested. Alberto Franceschini later accused a top member of the Red Brigades, Mario Moretti, of turning them in, and that both Moretti and another leading Red Brigade member, Giovanni Senzani, were spies for the Italian and US secret services.[11] Moretti rose up through the ranks of the Red Brigades as a result of the arrest of the two founders.
The Red Brigades and the CIA
The Red Brigades worked closely with the Hyperion Language School in Paris, which was founded by Corrado Simioni, Duccio Berio and Mario Moretti. Corrado Simoni had worked for the CIA at Radio Free Europe, Duccio Berio had been supplying the Italian SID with information of leftist groups and Mario Moretti, apart from being accused by the Red Brigades founders as being an intelligence asset, also happened to be the mastermind and murderer of former Italian Prime Minister, Aldo Moro. An Italian police report referred to the Hyperion Language School as “the most important CIA office in Europe.”[12]
The Murder of Aldo Moro
Moro Makes Powerful Enemies
Aldo Moro, who served as Italy’s Prime Minister from 1963 until 1968 and later, from 1973 until 1976, was kidnapped and murdered by the Red Brigades in 1978, while still a prominent politician in the Christian Democrat Party. When he was kidnapped, Moro was on his way to Parliament to vote on inaugurating a new government, of which he negotiated, for the first time since 1947, to be backed by the Italian Communist Party (PCI). Moro’s policy of working with and bringing the Communists into the government was denounced by both the USSR and the United States.
Kissinger’s Threat
Moro was held for 55 days before his eventual murder. The reasoning was for his plan to bring the Communist Party into the government. Four years prior to his death, in 1974, Moro was on a visit as Italian Prime Minister, to the United States. While there, he met with US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who told Moro, “`You must abandon your policy of bringing all the political forces in your country into direct collaboration… or you will pay dearly for it.”[13]
Moro was “Sacrificed”
Steve Pieczenik, a former State Department hostage negotiator and international crisis manager, “claimed that he played a critical role in the fate of Aldo Moro.” Pieczenik “said that Moro had been “sacrificed” for the “stability” of Italy.” He had been sent to Italy by President Jimmy Carter on the day of Moro’s kidnapping to be part of a crisis committee, of which he said was “jolted into action by the fear that Moro would reveal state secrets in an attempt to free himself.” The action the committee took was to leak a memo saying that Moro was dead, and to have the memo attributed to the Red Brigades. The purpose of this was to “prepare the Italian public for the worst and to let the Red Brigades know that the state would not negotiate for Moro, and considered him already dead.”[14] In a documentary on the subject, Pieczenik stated that, “The decision was made in the fourth week of the kidnapping, when Moro’s letters became desperate and he was about to reveal state secrets,” and that, “It was an extremely difficult decision, but the one who made it in the end was interior minister Francesco Cossiga, and, apparently, also prime minister Giulio Andreotti.”[15]
Moro’s Letters
Among Moro’s released letters, which he was writing while in captivity, he stated that he feared that a shadow organization, with “other secret services of the West … might be implicated in the destabilisation of our country.”[16] During his interrogation while in captivity, Moro even referred to “Nato’s anti-guerrilla activities.” However, the Red Brigades did not use this information,[17] perhaps because, according to the founders of the Red Brigades, the leader of the organization at the time of Moro’s kidnapping, Mario Moretti, was working for the Italian or US intelligence services.[18]
Maverick Journalist Killed by President?
Shortly after Moro’s death, Italian journalist, Mino Pecorelli, a man with “excellent secret service contacts,” voiced his suspicion in a 1978 article that Moro’s death was linked to Gladio, which was not officially acknowledged until 1990. A year after Moro’s death, Pecorelli was shot dead in Rome. He claimed that the kidnapping of Moro was committed by a “lucid superpower.” In 2002, former seven-term Prime Minister, Giulio Andreotti, was convicted of “ordering” Pecorelli’s murder.[19] Pecorelli was about to publish a book “containing damaging criticisms of [Prime Minister Giulio] Andreotti by murdered Christian Democratic leader Aldo Moro.”[20]
The Bologna Bombing
On the morning of August 2, 1980, Italy experienced its worst-ever terrorist attack at Bologna train station, which killed 85 people, and wounded more than 200 others. A long and complicated investigation was undertaken, and eventually, a trial began. In 1988, four right-wing terrorists were sentenced to life in prison. Two other defendants were convicted of slandering the investigation, “Francesco Pazienza, a former financier linked to several criminal cases in Italy, and Licio Gelli, the former grandmaster of the so-called P-2 Masonic lodge.”[21] This is the very same Licio Gelli who happened to be a CIA intermediary for the head of Italian intelligence for the Gladio network. Although later on, Gelli was acquitted of the charges.

Gallo
"First came God, then came Gallo"
Dr. F. Wong-Staal, AIDS researcher
"By 1975 his [Gallo's] lab had finally isolated a retrovirus from human leukemia cells. [HL23V] Gallo... faced humilation when he presented the finding at the Virus-Cancer program's yearly conference. Other scientists had tested his virus and discovered it to be a mixture of contaminating retroviruses from woolly monkeys, gibbon apes, and baboons. Gallo tried to save his reputation, speculating wildly that perhaps one of the monkey viruses caused the human leukemia. This excuse did not fly, and he later described the event as a "disaster" and "painful," admitting that it placed "human retrovirology, and me with it, at a very low point."" (Inventing the AIDS Virus, p.124)
"In 1980 Gallo was finally credited for discovering a genuine human retrovirus, HTLV-I, which he blamed for a leukemia in blacks from the Caribbean. But he ran into trouble trying to find the virus in American leukemia patients. At the same time, a Japanese research team reported isolating a human retrovirus from leukemic patients, which they named ATLV. After they courteously sent Gallo a sample of the virus to compare with his own, Gallo published the genetic sequence of HTLV-I. The sequence of Gallo's Caribbean virus proved to be nearly identical to the Japanese virus; it contained a mistake identical to the one made by the Japanese group. Since all other non-Japanese HTLV-I isolates differed much more widely from the Gallo-Japanese twins, some retrovirologist suggest Gallo may have offered the Japanese sequence as his own. No formal investigation has probed this incident, and Gallo was awarded the prestigious Lasker Prize as the presumed discoverer of the leukemia virus."
(Inventing the AIDS Virus, p.160)
"Gallo did not stop with his first human retrovirus. He isolated a second one in 1982, from a cell line derived from a patient... But since that time HTLV-II has been retrieved from only one other patient with a similar leukemia, while plenty of cases have been found without the virus. (p.127)... William Haseltine,... had copied the genetic sequence of HTLV-II, the second known human retrovirus, from a presentation at a science conference. He then published the sequence, unknowingly including a deliberate error planted by the Japanese research team who had actually done the work."
(Inventing the AIDS Virus p.164)
In 1984 'Honest Bob' presented the world HTLV-III, which was renamed HIV later, and which became known as 'the AIDS virus'.
'The Godfather' or 'Pope' of AIDS, Dr. Robert C. Gallo, protected by bodyguards at AIDS conference.
"Powerfull placed colleagues have rushed to Gallo's defense... several of these researchers have developed such a close alliance with Gallo that they privately call themselves the "Bob Club." Among its informal members has been Gallo's longtime friend Max Essex,... Harvard retrovirologist William Haseltine,... Dani Bolognesi, a retrovirologist at Duke University (p.225)... Sam Broder, the man in charge of Gallo's laboratory at the National Cancer Institute,... [who also] became known as "Mr. AZT" (p.312),... [and] Howard Temin."

Judge Joe Brown
Judge Brown Slams Memphis Over the King Case
As recorded by Dick Russell
The following is a transcription of Judge Joe Brown’s remarks made on the 30th anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King on April 3, 1998 at the Centenary Methodist Church in Memphis. The remarks were transcribed by author Dick Russell who will be writing an article for High Times this fall on this conference. Russell is also the author of the current book Black Genius which was published by Carroll and Graf earlier this year. Our thanks to Dick for letting us share this transcription with our readers.
In this case involving James Earl Ray, I found one morning that it was on my calendar. I had been totally unaware of that until the prosecutor in this case, Mr. Campbell, came to attempt to approach me and discuss this case off the record which is, of course, improper. I declined to do this. That was the first of a number of ex parte approaches by the state to engage in what are basically improprieties. In any event, I was ultimately confronted with a question: with the application of modern scientific methodology, is this in fact the rifle? As the rifle was excluded from the [unintelligible] of being the murder weapon, does this fact alone—based on an assessment of the entire body of evidence—cause James Earl Ray to be innocent, therefore mandating a new trial? In other words, if the weapon was excluded, I was to conduct an analysis and an evaluation of the entire case—and then write an opinion relative to my assessment.
James Earl Ray, even in the event that the rifle [had] been excluded, might have still been found legally guilty of being an accessory, an aider and abettor, or a conspirator. I won’t touch upon that. But I do know what I saw in terms of the hard evidence, in terms of what’s in that file relative to those things that the untrained might never notice. I would remark initially upon the category of so-called "experts" that everyone has been relying upon in this case. The level of expertise, if they had any such, was extremely low. They had long histories of being able to look at bullets under a microscope and using relatively primitive technology to make an analysis subjectively as to whether in their opinion such-and-such a bullet matched a sample that they were attempting to compare it with. That was the extent of their expertise. They had very little knowledge—if any—about rifles and firearms in general.
They found me with the knowledge that I just happened to have had as an individual. Amongst other things, I have read in the record the big to-do about the mark in the window sill at the boarding house where the rifle was supposed to be fired. Well, let’s talk about the rifle. It’s a 760 Remington Gamemaster, a pump action, just like a 12 gauge pump shotgun. There is very little call for this weapon in any other part of the country other than the eastern seaboard, where certain states forbid the use of semi-automatic weapons for deer hunting. It’s a fast action but it’s not as powerful a weapon. There’s a peculiar thing about this weapon. If you do not rest, if you’re attempting to use a rest when you shoot it—the weapon does not shoot where it is sited in. Any hunter will tell you that if you are attempting to use a rest to shoot game, you put your coat, your hat, your pack, something under the rifle barrel—and you do not allow the rifle barrel to touch hard wood, rock or anything else because your weapon will not shoot where you have sited it in to shoot. Assuming you’ve sited the weapon in. If anyone placed the weapon on that window sill, sufficient to cause an indentation in the window sill, you can guarantee that whatever they were shooting at would not have been hit. Because the weapon would not have hit where it was sited in to hit.
Now Preston Battle, the honorable late initial judge who handled this case, said this on the record. He was firmly convinced that if James Earl Ray in fact did the killing, he did not act alone. Now James Earl Ray in the record is said to have gone to a gunshop and purchased a .243 caliber weapon. It says he was told by others that this was not a suitable weapon for the purpose. "Others", o-t-h-e-r-s, I’m assuming that means the same to everyone else that it does to me. He returned the .243 to exchange it for a 30.06. Whereupon he had a scope mounted on the weapon in the gunshop.
There’s an interesting thing about the Remington 760 Gamemaster. The breach of the weapon is closed by the receiver—don’t worry about what this means, it’s rather arcane. It means that you can’t simply do what you would do with a bolt action, which ordinarily would be the weapon of choice if you were going to commit any sniping activity because its far more accurate. It means that you can’t simply take the bolt, prop this weapon up on some cushions and sandbags, anything that does not move, look down the bore at some object a hundred yards distant, center that object in the bore and then take your scope site using the adjusting screws, move your crosshairs until they center the object approximately 100 yards away while that object is centered in the bore. That’s called bore siting. What you’d have to do is colonate the weapon. That means you stick something that looks like a small telescope in front of the muzzle of this weapon with an adapter and you attempt to get the crosshairs of the scope registered on the crosshairs of this colonator device that is inserted into the muzzle.
The gunshop in question did not possess such a colonator. So the scope was simply bolted to the top of the rifle. Now it has been my personal experience when siting in more than 60 rifles in my lifetime...if you colonate a weapon, bore-site it or whatever, and you take it to the range to continue to calibrate it so that it hits what you’re trying to hit, and you place a target which is maybe 4-5 feet square on a target rack at 25 yards, you will probably be lucky if the weapon hits paper. And then you crank in 25-30 clicks to the right, 15-20 up, and you get it approximately to the center of that paper at 25 yards. Then you back off to approximately 100, and then you fire again, and you keep adjusting your sites until you hit what you’re trying to hit.
That was not done in this case. It would be the most profound accident I’ve ever heard of if you simply bolted a scope to the top of that weapon and you were able to achieve sufficient accuracy at 100 yards to hit your target. I won’t speak on the number of times that just out of curiosity I took people who had little experience in firearms to arrange or to a measured 100 yard stretch of open ground in the country, set up a silhouette target, and allowed them the opportunity to attempt to hit the head of that target. I can tell you that, with the exception of certain experienced riflemen, there was zero success.

MLK - Truth in Lyrics
The Assassination of Martin Luther King
April 4 of 67 Martin voiced opposition against the Vietnam War,
He also planned to march on Washington addressing the struggles of the poor,
Trying to inspire America to help citizens they generally ignore,
One year later it inspired America to murder him, because America is evil to the core.
America has had over 30 years to come clean,
Now here̢۪s the truth about who murdered Martin Luther King.
J. Edgar Hoover tried to force Martin to commit suicide,
By threatening him with pictures where his image was compromised,
They sent audio tapes of him with other women to Coretta to remove her from his side,
When none of this worked Hoover and the f.b.i. used homicide.
America has had over 30 years to come clean,
Now here̢۪s the truth about who murdered Martin Luther King.
J. Edgar Hoover felt he had this King problem solved,
When they decided to replace King with out being directly involved,
Sullivan said he knew an educator that would help this evolve,
He chose Samuel Proctor to groom a replacement if they could make King̢۪s leadership dissolve.
America has had over 30 years to come clean,
Now here̢۪s the truth about who murdered Martin Luther King.
In the â€Å“Bureau†Sullivan said King’s replacement Samuel R. Pierce is an outstanding educator,
The only problem is that Pierce was a lawyer he̢۪s closer to being a legislator,
When approached about this he had never talked to anyone about being such a perpetrator,
What Sullivan really meant, Dean Samuel Proctor would groom a replacement who would be an infiltrator.
America has had over 30 years to come clean,
Now here̢۪s the truth about who murdered Martin Luther King.
In 63̢۪ at North Carolina A&T Samuel Proctor took Jesse Jackson under his wing,
Dr. Proctor was teaching Jesse how to be like Martin King,
When Jesse was there it wasn̢۪t books he was studying,
It was Martin 101 and the science of informing.
America has had over 30 years to come clean,
Now here̢۪s the truth about who murdered Martin Luther King.
f.b.i. field office requested to wiretap the S.C.L.C. office in Chicago,
The f.b.i. headquaters response was no,
The f.b.i. already had Jesse in Chicago telling them all they wanted to know,
Jesse had been groomed for Martin̢۪s replacement as mentioned in the f.b.i. memo.
America has had over 30 years to come clean,
Now here̢۪s the truth about who murdered Martin Luther King.
Martin snapped on Jesse days before he was shot,
No one had ever seen Martin get upset and hot,
In short he told Jesse leave me alone I know you want my spot,
To save their investment Jesse Jackson, the government carried out the assassination plot.
America has had over 30 years to come clean,
Now here̢۪s the truth about who murdered Martin Luther King.
Martin̢۪s original plans were to stay at the white Holiday Inn,
The f.b.i. and the media made it look like a sin,
To save the sanitation protest he chose the black Lorraine motel again,
His room was changed from 1st to 2nd floor by white Jack Youngblood in blackface,
posing as an advanced security man.
America has had over 30 years to come clean,
Now here̢۪s the truth about who murdered Martin Luther King.
Jesse sent a message to the Invaders that they had to check out,
Because they would have to pay for their own rooms it sent the invaders in route,
Jesse then checked the rooms doing a last minute scout,
Because the Invaders had guns too and would have shot back without a doubt.
America has had over 30 years to come clean,
Now here̢۪s the truth about who murdered Martin Luther King.
Samuel â€Å“Billy†Kyles was an informant for the Memphis police,
King and his staff were headed to Kyles house for a feast,
He made sure that King had on a necktie and came out in one piece,
Then as he said moved from King’s side for a â€Å“clear shot†from the beast.
America has had over 30 years to come clean,
Now here̢۪s the truth about who murdered Martin Luther King.
Going to dinner Jesse refused to wear a necktie,
Memphis police inspector Sam Evans tells us why,
The memo said those without ties are one of our guys,
So Judas Jackson dressed his part and Martin King dies.
America has had over 30 years to come clean,
Now here̢۪s the truth about who murdered Martin Luther King.
America has always been sick and deranged,
So Martin sought to help the poor by giving us change,
He was said to be shot from a rooming house which is strange,
Because there were powder burns in Martin̢۪s wounds which means the shot was close range.
America has had over 30 years to come clean,
Now here̢۪s the truth about who murdered Martin Luther King.
New York Times April 5, 1968, Jesse said if Martin hadn̢۪t been leaning over the balcony he wouldn̢۪t have been shot in the face,
At the time of the shooting Ernestine Campbell said she saw something that looked out of place,
She saw Jesse with one foot on the stairs bent over looking up shoving something in a handbag type case,
Maybe whatever is in the bag is what left the powder burns trace.
America has had over 30 years to come clean,
Now here̢۪s the truth about who murdered Martin Luther King.
Solomon Jones and Earl Caldwell̢۪s testimony went ignored,
Because in light of the conspiracy it would bring discord,
They said the shot came from the bushes as swift as a sword,
At the time of the shooting the operator had a heart attack at the switch board.
America has had over 30 years to come clean,
Now here̢۪s the truth about who murdered Martin Luther King.
Dr. King had at least 2 entry wounds of the jaw and the throat,
Hospital attendant said there were 5 or 6 dime sized wounds something we should note,
Jerry Francisco found races of powder burns in the autopsy that he wrote,
Judge Joe Brown said â€Å“the bullets in the gun were not the bullets in Dr.King†end of quote.
America has had over 30 years to come clean,
Now here̢۪s the truth about who murdered Martin Luther King.
There were a team of army snipers in Memphis that day,
Ready to take orders from the green berets,
Invader infiltrator Marrell McColough worked for the c.i.a.,
The shot came from Raul not James Earl Ray.
America has had over 30 years to come clean,
Now here̢۪s the truth about who murdered Martin Luther King.
To get the shot from the rooming house the rifle̢۪s butt
would have to be 6 inches into the wall,
At the time of the shooting Charlie Stevens was drunk from alcohol,
The f.b.i. used money and liquor to get him to say he saw Ray running in the hall,
So the f.b.i. held his story up so it wouldn̢۪t stumble, pass out, or fall.
America has had over 30 years to come clean,
Now here̢۪s the truth about who murdered Martin Luther King.
Grace Walden proved the f.b.i. star witness told a lie,
She saw the man in the hall, it wasn̢۪t Ray standing before her eyes,
So Mark Lane she and Ray̢۪s attorney almost caused her to die,
By planning to send her to his other client Jim Jones to drink some cyanide.
America has had over 30 years to come clean,
Now here̢۪s the truth about who murdered Martin Luther King.
The Mafia connection can be traced through Frank Liberto,
Who had a brother in New Orleans that connected to Carlos Marcello,
Who was the New Orleans mob boss, which is where Raul and Ray would go,
Liberto over the phone said shoot him on the balcony and go to
New Orleans to collect your dough.
America has had over 30 years to come clean,
Now here̢۪s the truth about who murdered Martin Luther King.
There were 2 that got out of Memphis only 1 caught the blame,
Joseph Creighterdon put Jesse Jackson on his military plane,
James Earl Ray got out of Memphis in a white mustang,
Jesse left Memphis to replace Martin and acquire some new found fame.
America has had over 30 years to come clean,
Now here̢۪s the truth about who murdered Martin Luther King.
Glenda Grabo said Dr.King & J.F.K. was murdered by Raul,
James Earl Ray said the same some called him a fool,
Grabo identified Raul standing next to Oswald which is a researchers jewel,
Because as suspected he used Oswald & Ray as patsies and tools.
America has had over 30 years to come clean,
Now here̢۪s the truth about who murdered Martin Luther King.
They cut down the bushes in the middle of the night,
So when the sun rose again they were no longer in sight,
That̢۪s tampering with a crime scene that ain̢۪t right,
They destroyed the shooters nest and gave view of the rooming house before day light.
America has had over 30 years to come clean,
Now here̢۪s the truth about who murdered Martin Luther King.
Steve Cokely is an authority on these facts,
If you seek more information it̢۪s him you should ask,
He researched Martin King̢۪s assassination for the truth and for blacks,
He̢۪s black people̢۪s researcher that is sharp as a tack.
America has had over 30 years to come clean,
Now here̢۪s the truth about who murdered Martin Luther King

The Liars of 9-11 - The Anti-Defamation League of the International Order of B'nai Brith (Armchair Division)
The Anti-Defamation League: Dope, Inc.'s Public Relations Firm
In 1979, only a few months after the publication of the first edition of Dope, Inc., a scurrilous attack on the book and its authors appeared in a local Philadelphia Jewish newspaper.
The weekly charged that Dope, Inc.'s identification of the now deceased Meyer Lansky as the kingpin for the syndicate's dope operation in the United States, was an "anti-Semitic" attack on a great Jewish philanthropist. The source of this "information" was the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) of B'Nai B'Rith.
This was not a case of the ADL merely getting overzealous in its purported dedication to counter defamatory attacks on Jewish people in the United States. On the contrary, the Anti Defamation League was established for the express purpose of defending not members of the Jewish faith, but the mob.
Protecting the names of criminals was the ADL's preoccupation from the very beginning. In the first decade of this century, New York Police Commissioner Thomas Bingham, with his assistant Lt. Joseph Petrosino, was heading up a highly effective investigation into the criminal gangs of New York City. Bingham and Petrosino had dug up evidence showing that the mob was closely interlinked with terrorists and anarchists centered around Emma Goldman and her Henry Street Settlement House. In 1901, Petrosino forewarned the Secret Service of a New York City-based plot on the life of President William McKinley, run out of the Goldman networks. The Secret Service ignored the warning, and McKinley was soon assassinated by one of Goldman's anarchists.
In conjunction with Italian authorities, Bingham and Petrosino put enough heat on the mobs in New York to force Johnny Torrio-AI Capone's uncle and the man who would pull together Dope, Inc.'s national syndicate for more efficient drug and dope distribution-to hightail it out of New York to Chicago.
Suddenly, in 1908, Bingham found himself the target of attacks that he was "anti-Semitic." The source: a publicity committee for the London-based Jewish arm of Freemasonry, formed that year. The committee charged that Bingham, by going after Jewish mobsters, as well as the Italian and Irish gangs, was "maligning Jews." Within a year, the attacks on Bingham, in combination with a campaign against him by the city's so-called Reform Movement, forced his ouster from the New York Police Department.
In the spring of 1909, during the height of the frameup of Bingham, Lt. Petrosino traveled to Italy to set up a liaison between the New York police and the police authorities in Italy.
He brought back with him dossiers on several hundred Mafia leaders to build cases for their extradition back to Italy. But in March, while in Sicily, Petrosino was murdered by Don Vito Cascio Ferro-then chief ofthe Sicilian Mafia-whose descendants today include the drug-running Gambino family.
With Petrosino and Bingham removed from the scene, Don Vito's criminal operations expanded unimpeded in the United States. There were other beneficiaries: the fast-growing criminal network ofArnold Rothstein, the son of a dry goods wholesaler who would make the U.S. connection with Britain's dope trade in the Far East, and who would become the patron for mob partners Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lansky.
What was this public relations committee that had so conveniently smeared Bingham as "anti-Semitic"? It was formed and chaired by a Bavarian-born corporate attorney from Chicago, Sigmund Livingston, as the public relations committee for the Jewish branch of freemasonry. By 1913, it had dropped its public association with freemasonry to become the Anti Defamation League of B'Nai B'Rith.
Livingston had strange credentials for heading up an organization supposedly dedicated to combatting anti-Semitism. In his book Must Men Hate? Livingston favorably quotes as an expert on anti-Semitism, Count Heinrich Coudenhove-Kalergi. Coudenhove-Kalergi was a blueshirt fascist ideologue for the Hapsburg family, who was backed by Winston Churchill et al. when the British ended their love-affair with Adolf Hitler, and whose expertise on anti-semitism had been gained through experience in the trade. Adolph Kraus, the Chicago-based international president of B'Nai B'Rith during the ADL's creation, was also, like Livingston, a Hapsburg loyalist. Although Jewish, Kraus was close enough to the anti-Semitic Hapsburgs to be inducted into their Order of Saint Francis. Dope, Inc.'s Anti-Defamation League
The ADL is a wholly owned and operated subsidiary for Britain's Dope, Inc. It has never functioned as anything else. The mob and the ADL are there to perform the services which the dope trade's top-echelon controllers would never dirty their hands with.
There is evidence to show, for example, that even in its inception, the ADL was less the baby ofJewish freemasonry than it was of anglophile Morgan interests ensconced in the United States. When Livingston formed the ADL out of the Chicago B'Nai B'Rith Lodge #6, he was a prominent corporate attorney, one of whose clients was William Moore's Chicago and Alton Railway. Although Moore had become a successful "robber baron" in the 18908, he became important only after he had hitched his interests to those of J. P. Morgan and U.S. Steel.
The current base for the Moore family is the Nabisco Corporation. Moore's grandson, also named William, is today the chairman of the Morgan-controlled Bankers Trust, and is on the board of Morgan's IBM.
- The Moores are the biggest funders of the Anti-Defamation League today. Moore's Bankers Trust has more members of its board listed as ADL contributors than any other corporation in the United States.
There is also evidence that the Moores, and the anglophile networks they hook into, make many of the arrangements for the day-to-day deployment of the ADL. Along with Canon Edward West, Bishop Paul Moore, Jr., another grandson of old William, presides over the Episcopalian Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City. The Cathedral is not only the stateside control center for British intelligence, it is the U.S. headquarters for the British Knights of St. John ofJerusalem, one ofthe highest-level control points for the British dope cartel.
Canon West has been instrumental in deploying the ADL on dirty-tricks operations against Lyndon LaRouche his associates. When probed on this point by an undercover investigator, West responded: "We're going to send the Jews after LaRouche."
Immediately afterward, the ADL's "anti-Semitic" smear campaign against LaRouche escalated.
The Anti-Nazi Game
In March 1978, James Rosenberg, a.k.a. Jimmy Mitchell, was implicated in a plot to provoke the Pennsylvania Confederation
of Independent Orders of the Invisible Empire of the Knights of the KKK, or CIOIE, to bomb the Trenton, New Jersey, headquarters ofthe NAACP. Four months later, Rosenberg-Mitchell was named by right-wing sources as the key figure orchestrating a clash between KKK and "anti-Klan" forces in Jamesburg, New Jersey. It was found that Rosenberg-Mitchell had infiltrated himself as an agent provocateur into the Jewish Defense League, the left-wing Progressive Labor Party, and the International Committee Against Racism.
Rosenberg-Mitchell was also a self-admitted paid agent of the ADL, working under the ADL's Fact-Finding Division directed by Irwin Suall and Justin Finger. Rosenberg's case is only one ofmany that have come to light, in which the ADL has sent its own agents to infiltrate racist or neo-Nazi organizations and act as provocateurs. Today the ADL directs wholesale numbers ofneo-Nazi groups and sections of the KKK-the idea being that attacks upon Jews will give a boost to the ADL.
This underhanded use of anti-Semitism itself began when the ADL-having moved its headquarters to New York City in 1933-was incorporated as an asset of William "Intrepid" Stephenson's British Special Operations Executive (SOE), when Stephenson moved his operation to the United States in 1938 as part of British intelligence's "special relationship" with U.S. intelligence. Stephenson's first mission was to get the United States into the war-not so much against the Nazis but behind the British Empire, and to secondarily sink British intelligence's hooks deeper into the wartime and postwar American intelligence community.
To prod the U.S. into the war, Stephenson set about the infiltrate, take over, and in some cases create, U.S. Nazi, pro-Nazi, and Nazi-labeled organizations. Stephenson's provocateurs would then direct these organizations to praise opponents of Britain, for example, thereby smearing Britain's opponents with a Nazi label.
At the same time, Stephenson and the ADL created various organizations to combat Nazism, the most important of which was the World Non-Sectarian Anti-Nazi Council to Champion Human Rights, which in the United States was called the Non Sectarian Anti-Nazi League. At the top, the organization sported on its board of directors such notables as King Leopold of Belgium, Fiorello LaGuardia, and Sidney Hillman, president of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers. The ADL manned the staff.
One member of that staff was Dorothy Kahn Wurzburger, a.k.a. Dorothy Waring, Mary Garffney, and Charlotte Snowden Meade. Wurzburger was the director of the Anti-Nazi League's "Fact-Finding Division." A British agent who said she was never afraid to "lose what is most dear to a woman," Wurzburger had ghost-authored books for Otto von Hapsburg, and had been the wife of a member of Hitler's high command. In fact, she had been so close to Hitler herselfthat she was named in 1933 as the chief beneficiary on Hitler's Lloyds of London insurance policy. She was also the author ofLife and Loves a of a Woman Spy, and of Where Now Little Jew? the latter called one of the most viciously anti-Semitic books ever produced.
Another staffmember was Irving Rothberg, a.k.a. Alexander Redlick, L. K. Roller, and Col. Richard Collins. His specialty was infiltration ofNazis and others into opponent organizations to Stephenson. During the 1936 national election campaign, Rothberg was hired as the investigator for un-American activities for the New York State Democratic Committee, where he used the skills cultivated by Stephenson and the ADL. Just before election day, the New York World Telegram headlined one of his stories: "U.S. Nazi Attack on Jews Laid to Republicans."
Through the years 1932 through 1945, the ADL worked closely with Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau, Jr., father of Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau. Among Morgenthau's stable of operatives was George Mintzer, the director of criminal investigations ofthe U.S. Southern District Attorney's Office from 1926 to 1931. In 1933, Mintzer was using his private law offices to house the ADL's intelligence files. By the war's end, these files reportedly listed the names ofover 32,000 Americans whom the ADL accused ofsubversion. Mintzer's files were made available to the Office of Naval Intelligence, the State Department, the FBI, and to Stephenson's SOE. Irwin Sua"
It was during the war years, when the ADL was firmly under the arm of Stephenson's SOE, that the ADL picked up Irwin Suall, who now heads of the League's "Fact-Finding Division."
He is a leading figure in the U.S. branch of the Socialist International, and is a member of the National Committee of the Social Democrats, USA; the Workers Defense League; and the board of directors of the League for Industrial Democracy. Suall first rubbed shoulders with British Secret Intelligence circles during the war, while working as an organizer for the Young People's Socialist League in the merchant marine. He career training for placement in the Socialist network began in 1948, when he was awarded a scholarship from the Transatlantic Foundation to attend the guild-socialist Ruskin Labor College in Oxford, England. The College was a training ground for radical socialists, listing among its graduates Max Eastman, James Burnham, and Frank Meyer, all of them Comintern or Socialist leaders during the 1920s and 1930s who would later co-found William Buckley's National Review.
On his return from Oxford, Suall was hired by the International Ladies Garment Workers Union run by David Dubinsky. In 1961, while Suall was serving as national secretary for the Socialist Party, he ran a campaign to defame Ronald Reagan, then an employee of General Electric who made the company's motto "Progress Is Our Most Important Product" famous to all Americans. Suall authored a pamphlet, called "The American Ultras: the Extreme Right and the Military-Industrial Complex," in which he vituperatively attacked President Eisenhower and other ranking military leaders.
Operation Underworld
Once the United States had entered World War IT, the Anti Defamation League helped carry out an operation that was crucial to building Dope, Inc.'s $100 billion trade in the United States: Operation Underworld.
In March 1942, a meeting took place at the Manhattan District Attorney's office. In attendance were District AttorneyFrank Hogan, several officials ofthe Office ofNaval Intelligence (a stronghold of Stephenson's SOE), and Murray Gurfein, Hogan's top assistant and head ofthe rackets division. The agenda item was how to establish contact with, and deploy the mob for wartime purposes. The meeting decided that Gwfein, who would later become an official of the ADL and an official U.S. intelligence agent stationed in Britain, would be the key liaison between the DA's office and Naval Intelligence, and to the mob.
The meeting had been held as a consequence of a plan set into motion as early as 1940 by Lt. Commander Charles Radcliffe Haffenden, who directed the B-3 (mob unit) of Naval Intelligence in New York. Before resuming active duty in 1940, Haffenden had been an executive with the Moore family's Na
bisco. Haffenden's assignment, Operation Underworld, was to organize cooperation between the mob and the Allied powers for the planned invasion of Sicily. But the main aim, and major effect ofOperation Underworld, was to reshape organized crime for postwar use-to the benefit of the same crew the ADL had run the PR for in 1908 and continues to protect today.
Gurfein had little trouble in making contact with the mob.
Within a couple of weeks, he had recruited Joseph "Socks" Lanza, the waterfront mobster who ran the Fulton Fish Market, and had opened up the docks to Naval Intelligence and Stephenson's SOE.
By April 1942, Haffenden himself, through Gurfein, was in contact with Charles "Lucky" Luciano, Lansky's partner. Haffenden projected that Luciano, then in the New York state Dannemora Penitentiary, would yield control of the Sicilian mafia in exchange for a deal for early probation. Luciano agreed.
It had not been hard to link up with Luciano. Gurfein had simply spoken to Moses Polakoff, the former head of the criminal division of the U.S. Attorney's Office where he had made a name for himself as a "crimebuster." Then Polakoff left government service to become the attorney for both Luciano and Lansky. Polakoffs career points to a "special relationship" that has never been broken, between active and former officials of the U.S. Attorney's Office, sections ofthe FBI, and other crime busting entities, and the Lansky-Luciano gang.
April 1942 began Meyer Lansky's official employment by British and American intelligence, but Lansky's coordination with these authorities goes back much further, with the ADL playing a crucial role.
Both Luciano and Lansky had been proteges of mobster Arnold Rothstein, the man who had been given the British franchise into the Hong Kong dope trade to the United States. Two years later, Luciano and Lansky directed a top-down reorganization ofthe mob, clearing out the "Mustache Petes" and placing control of much of the centralized crime infrastructure in the hands of Dope, Inc. The 1931 mass executions of Salvatore Maranzaro and 40 other top mobsters had paved the way for the Luciano-Lansky power grab.
By 1935 at the latest, Lansky was directly offering his services to the ADL and its friends. In that year, Rabbi Stephen Wise, a Cincinnati official of the World Jewish Congress, asked Lansky to organize violent assaults against Nazi-style "Bundist" organizations in the New York area. Lansky agreed. Further down the road in his career, Lansky became one of the major fundraisers for the United Jewish Appeal, and a major funder for the ADL itself.
Lansky has another connection to the ADL. In 1929, his lieutenant Frank Erickson, whom Lansky had inherited from Arnold Rothstein, set up the Sterling National Bank. The bank was the service center for the mob's operations in the garment center, in part run through the unions like Suall and Dubinsky's ILGWU. Sterling is also the bank for the ADL, with a board of directors nearly indistinguishable from it.
From Operation Underworld to Appalachin
As a result of Haffenden's deal with Luciano, the mafia bOBS was moved from Dannemora to Great Meadows prison, where he was given special visiting privileges. Lansky, Frank Costello, Joe Adonis, and Polakoff would visit Luciano's prison office to lay plans for the entire East Coast mafia. Between spring 1942 and the end of the war, Luciano, Lansky, and company, while they reorganized the docks for Naval Intelligence, directed the execution of over 30 major waterfront figures.
When the Allies were ready for the invasion of Sicily, Haffenden was put in charge of dealing with the Mafia. Lansky began sending Haffenden a stream of Sicilian mafiosi and Italian freemasons, all of whom went to work for Naval Intelligence. One of Lansky's closest collaborators in Sicily was the son of Don Vito Cascio Ferro, the criminal who had "rubbed out" anti-mob investigator Lt. Petrosino.
Second in command of the OSS in Italy and working with Haffenden was Norman Newhouse, a member of the national committee of the ADL. Today, the Newhouse family, which runs the newspaper chain ofthe same name, is the central ADL family in New Orleans. Since the civil rights era, according to intelligence sources, the New Orleans chapter of the ADL, headed by Adolph Botnick, has been a conduit for contracting hits by the mob.
After the war, the top-down control of the mob passed from Naval Intelligence to the New York Waterfront Commission.
The Waterfront Commission was given power to license hearings, grant immunity, conduct criminal investigations, and exercise broad police powers. It was dominated by the same Naval Intelligence-ADL interface that had run Operation Underworld:
• Joseph Kaitz, "Mr. Waterfront," who had been in Naval Intelligence and was Haffenden's chief B-3 liaison to Lansky and Adonis;
• Paul Alfieri, another B-3 man on the Commission;
• Justin Finger, top investigator for the Commission, who today is chairman of the ADL's Civil Rights Division which oversees ADL intelligence.
The Commission used its powers to go after the International Longshoremen's Association and the Teamsters on the docks, while handing more control over the docks to the Lansky mafia.
In 1957, the New York State Governor's State Investigations Committee was set up, to specialize in attacking police departments for alleged corruption. Its most spectacular action was the discovery and arrest of nearly 50 mafia leaders attending a secret planning meeting in Appalachin, New York.
Present was every major syndicate family leader in the country save one-Meyer Lansky. One of the chief investigators responsible for the raid: the ADL's future intelligence officer,Justin Finger.
The stronger Lansky's power in Dope, Inc.'s national drugsyndicate grew, the more the ADL and its executive board members became thoroughly co-opted in the dirty-money-Iaundering side of the operation. From Sterling National Bank, to· the American Bank and Trust, to Robert Vesco, the ADL is in the thick of the dirty-money scams Dope, Inc. requires to launder billions of dollars of dope money each year. The task of cleaning up drugs in the United States, and of politically destroying the Anti-Defamation League, is one and the same thing.
