The Lorraine Motel balcony just after the shooting of MLK.

Martin Luther King Jr was cut down by an assassin's bullet on 4^th April 1968. The murder was originally blamed on "lone nut", James Earl Ray, but he was never tried by a jury. A 1999 jury ruled unanimously that [unnamed] "governmental agencies" were involved in his murder.

Official Narrative

The televised confession by Loyd Jowers of involvement in the MLK assassination

Martin Luther King's killing was blamed by the FBI 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. This case illustrates the inconsistency of Wikipedia - since it minimises the importance of the official US government narrative that the courts are a reliable indicator of what has happened, and that therefore the US government was involved in the assassination of Martin Luther King.

Witnesses

Earl Caldwell, a New York Times reporter has consistently claimed that he thought the shot was fired from bushes below the balcony, not from the boarding house which the FBI claimed.

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."

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.

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.”
