Official Narrative
Martin Luther King Jr was fatally shot on 4th April 1968. At the time it was blamed on the "lone nut", James Earl Ray, who originally plead guilty to forego a jury trial, but later made many unsuccessful attempts to withdraw his confession and be tried by a jury. The official narrative changed in 1999, with the successful case by the King family. This commercially-controlled media not only ignored this case (only a single, local reporter was sent) but they quickly suggested that the verdict was suspect - although neglecting to initiate any legal challenge to it.
1999 Civil Case
In a 1999 the King family and William Pepper brought a civil case and the jury ruled unanimously that Loyd Jowers and others, including unspecified "governmental agencies", were all part of a conspiracy to kill Martin Luther King Jr. One juror, David Morphy, said after the trial, "We all thought it was a cut and dried case with the evidence that Mr. Pepper brought to us, that there were a lot of people involved, everyone from the CIA, military involvement, and Jowers was involved."[1]
Motive
Dr. King was planning a mass march on Washington to demand the end of the Vietnam War. He had also written in support of a universal income as a measure towards economic justice. Mark Gorton suggests that the corrupt establishment leadership had King killed because they saw him as a threat, having identified him as a potential leader who would not be silenced into covering up their past crimes.[2]

| 1960s | “After five decades, the mysteries behind the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X may finally get the scrutiny they deserve. A group consisting of relatives of the Kennedy and King families, as well as their confidantes and other prominent voices, is calling for a Truth and Reconciliation Committee to get to the bottom of these tragic murders.” | 19 January 2019 | |
| Encyclopedia of Domestic Assassinations | “[Martin Luther] King, ... your end is approaching.” | FBI | 1964 |
| Jonestown | “One of the persistent problems in researching Jonestown is that it seems to lead to so many other criminal activities, each with its own complex history and cast of characters. Perhaps the most disturbing of these is the connection that appears repeatedly between the characters in the Jonestown story and the key people involved in the murder and investigating of Martin Luther King.” |
