It's more complicated than that. Retired naval intelligence analyst here. When you declassify documents you still have to protect 'sources and methods'. Meaning that you can release the main information. That is the important part. But you still may not be able to release it in it's entirety because some of the sources (which may be human beings still alive) and technical methods (which may themselves be extremely classified) would be put at risk when those two things do not materially change the core information being released. Does that make sense? And in the fullness of time, even those things will be released when they are no longer at risk.

Whether they directly pulled the trigger or not they hold responsibility for, at the very least, not only not having done their duty of trying to stop it but actually encouraging it.

I'm a 70 year old American white man, a Native of Iowa. In 1989 I was living in Nashville. I've been a Baha'i for 40 years. I went on bus to Memphis full of fellow Baha'is to march in the annual Martin Luther King Parade. It was a huge event, hundreds of buses and thousands of marchers. I got separated from my group and was walking around looking for them. I walked for an hour or so and suddenly heard the music of a marching band coming down an alley. I ran to the end of the alley and thrre was the parade, and hear came my group. Two Baha'is were leading the group carrying a huge banner promoting Racial Harmony. The banner holder nearest me recognized my name tag and waved to me to help carry the banner, which I did. A block later was a Network TV Camera. Friends across America told me later that they saw me on TV! It was an honor to march in this Parade remembering Dr. King. Years later I made a pilgrimage to Memphis and said prayers on the spot Dr. King was Murdered.

Disclosure to all - what Johnny and KZitemrs alike do not tell you about services such as incogni whom sponsor segments about taking their fans off data broker lists is that these services will indeed send out a large list of emails for you, you then have to manually respond to almost every single one of them as 90% of companies say that they do not deal with legal data protection requests through third parties and require verification from the customer themselves. There’s 2 problems with this. The first being that you are now doing the job of incogni quite literally. The second being that now you are given the choice now of parting with more personal information, or ignoring it and having achieved nothing but giving your data to another company, incogni. As well as this, you are likely going to be communicating on the same email chain as the one Incogni and companies alike initiated with their request meaning that personal data required to verify you, should you choose to send it, will also make its way to incogni who will be CC’d into the email chain. They make themselves sound a whole lot better than they are, in reality they’re pretty useless.

I don't like how Johnny talked as if the only problem the FBI's actions was that the USSR connection was unsubstantiated, this insinuates that if there was a connection to the USSR that all of the actions afterwards would be justified. Also the video seemed very revisionist in the way it portrayed the civil rights movement, from the way Johnny talked about it you would think that it only succeeded because of white people's pity where at the time of his death MLK did not have the moral high ground (political climate of the time) the white population was polled to have a 66% unfavorable opinion of him. I mean for context Johnny cut out the most important part of MLK's letter where he said that the largest stumbling block to the civil rights movement was not radicals like the KKK but the white moderates who prefers injustice to the tension created in the pursuit of justice.

I read it somewhat differently. I read it as a demonstration that despite a complete lack of evidence, under Hoover's leadership the Bureau decided to use illicit tactics to try and take down King anyway. It's not that the USSR connection would've justified anything, it's that the Bureau didn't care about justification. It just decided that it wanted to go after King anyway. And I think highlighting that (racist) abuse of power committed within (what should be) a publicly accountable institution devoted to protecting justice for citizens is what the video is all about. Which I also think goes to your point about the simplistic overview of the civil rights movement and MLK's role within it. It's certainly not the full story of the movement, but that's also not something it is attempting to be.

Martin Luther King Jr. inadvertently hindered the progress of Black America by emphasizing integration rather than concentrating on the development of the Black economy, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and businesses. His approach has contributed to many challenges that Black Americans encounter today. In my youth, I viewed him as a hero, but as I've matured, I've come to see him as shortsighted and lacking in critical analysis.

By the end of his presidency there were no more apologies and no more progressive policies. In fact there were several policies and laws that were not vetoed that made life regressive and worse.

MLK, 39 year old Nobel Peace Prize winner who empowered black Americans and people of color to ask for the right to some of the most basic things, like sitting where they please on a bus, vote in elections, etc. was murdered by the United States government. Hundreds of thousands of White Americans and many politicians fought him at every turn. Some of those people are still alive. The government killed, attacked or incarcerated other black leaders at the time and some of them are STILl imprisoned or rotted in there welllll past us knowing the truth. Those people’s children and grandchildren who hold the same racist beliefs are here on the internet and social media with us commenting racist things, hiding in plain sight. Awful people.

Your observation of MLK, America’s perception of him, and the nuances of the civil rights movement are ahistorical and nothing less than revisionist history. You completely quoted MLK out of context in the letter you cited to suit your whitewashed narrative. That letter was written about MLK’s disillusionment with moderate, liberal white people, because they thought oppressed people should wait their turn to get the same rights as everyone else. MLK’s strategy of nonviolence was not winning over hearts and minds. At the time of his assassination he had a 75% disapproval rating in America. That means 3 in 4 Americans thought he was a bad person, so not exactly winning hearts and minds. And finally to the extent that MLK had any success in influencing civil rights reform, it was mostly because white America/ legislators were afraid that denying the peaceful protesters of their modest reforms would fuel the more radical elements within the movement like the Black Panthers and lead to armed resistance.

Yes and no. The black panthers weren’t taken seriously as a movement. On the other hand kings non violent approach is largely what helped white people see eye to eye with black people. Yes the “status quo” is always an issue for change but he literally appealed to the status quo by choosing non violence. He rallied people behind his cause by telling them we shouldn’t be like the white oppressor. Unlike Malcom x who literally took pages out of racism.

Also the importance of including that communism or at least socialism indeed intertwined with the civil rights movement. Not only did the Black Panthers sway that way, but King started to see capitalism as useless. ""I imagine you already know that I am much more socialistic in my economic theory than capitalistic... [Capitalism] started out with a noble and high motive... but like most human systems it fell victim to the very thing it was revolting against. So today capitalism has out-lived its usefulness."

At my young age in adolescence , I previously read "I Have A Dream" book by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as it interested me in a fact. In my school days in WPSD (Western Pennsylvanian School for the Deaf in Pittsburgh, PA>), I finally heard that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968 at first. Then all of the girls including me in the girl's dormitory on 2 nd floor watched the TV News show about the funeral of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with the sign language interrupters on the duty. And then it really saddened me in heart breaking in reality. A few years, later, I found out that Mr. JC. Hoover, the FBI Director was a racist and antisemitic as he really hated the Afro-Americans, the deaf American citizens, Italian-Americans who got involved with Mafia families, and famous Nobel-Prize winning German-Jewish American-Albert Einstein, and the Jewish people in his real dark side of life. For 14 years in most of my college life, I have had been much experienced in the area of Washington, DC before my move out to be relocated in the area of Rochester, N.Y. on Sunday August 31, 1984. Still I have a best book-"I Have A Dream" at my home. Then I recently read several books about Black History, and famous & well-known Afro-Americans in our America including-"Forgotten Figures" in true story of the Afro-American women who were brilliant 'human computers" at NASA in early years and others. Our Federal holiday is: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday --Observance Monday in Januray 15 th after the US President Ronald Regan signed on the bill in the White House in a fact.

Johnny, CIA, Harris after his extensive research he conviniently ignored the part of MLK's letter where he talks about how hes disappointed by the white moderate and how the white moderate is the biggest obstacle for civil rights,then Johnny,CIA,Harris started telling us how MLK's peaceful demostrations (without mentioning that there was Malcolm X who advocated for a more violent approach who also worked with MLK) made the white moderate feel bad and thats why change happened which is literally not true. The white moderate in the 60s gave no fucks about black people and didnt feel bad at all. This is the liberal version of conservatives white washing MLK by using his dream speech. Johnny's conclusion is that Hoover bad, its just Hoover guys. The FBI were just following orders, its not that an entire institution deeply rooted in capitalism was opposing any emancipatory movement because it threatened the entire foundation of the system, its not that the American government with the white moderates and conservatives were strongly opposing those movements. Johnny's historical revisionism is so messed up and its something he does in almost all his videos. He always pins it down to a handful of people being bad instead of the entire institution and system that props those people up and how they serve it.

This video is ahistorical and revisionist either bc Johnny’s research was poor or more likely, and worse, because he’s intentionally misrepresenting the facts. 1. MLK did NOT have the moral high ground before his death, multiple polls show anywhere from 63%-68% disapproval ratings on public opinion up to his death in 1968. Johnny frames this entire video as if public perception was swaying MLK’s way due to the “success” of non-violent protests when the data clearly shows that was not the case. Many other black civil rights leaders at the time were also pointing out the Dr. King’s methods did not seem to be swaying public opinion of white moderates who saw the movement as radical and a disruptive force. 2. Johnny chooses very specific quotes from Dr. King’s Birmingham Jail letter without providing the full context and in so doing completely misrepresents what he was actually saying. It was the literal thesis of the letter. Dr. King in context: “First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says ‘I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;’ who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a ‘more convenient season.’” 3. Johnny paints Hoover as the singular evil force behind the espionage and violation of MLK’s rights as if to use “great man theory” to say that it wasn’t the act of a corrupt government institution whose literal job it was to spy on U.S. citizens but instead just one deranged man in charge of all these innocent agents. Johnny even references that Hoover’s name is on the building and acts like it’s so strange that someone who “perverted” the FBI would be on the building. That’s because he didn’t pervert anything, he did what the FBI would call a good job. This would be like saying the Nazi party was full of a bunch of people just following orders while Hitler was perverting the sacred institution of the Nazi party. It’s completely false and a misrepresentation of history. There’s more like the complete lack of mentioning King’s radical socialist ideology or using the sex scandal as a way to sow division for his cause rather than point out it’s irrelevance to the civil rights movement, but those are the big three. IMPORTANT: This video may seem like it is criticizing the government, but it is actually a form of controlled opposition, and a very ahistorical take on the facts in order to present a much more sanitized and moralistic view of the day . This kind of propaganda is very dangerous because it doesn’t seem like propaganda. Johnny presents himself as a truth seeker, which is very hard to believe.

You didn't bring up the gunman in the bushes. The FBI most likely did it.

There is a typo. Someone accidentally put "People Think" in the title.

MLK was the perfect example of an American. Standing up for his freedom and rights. Sad he died the way he did

This was so well done. Thanks for providing this video. I’m going to go look around and see what else you have to offer. Side note: it’s so scary to think that our government has and still does things like this to its very own citizens. 😞

No it was not, I urge you to watch FD Signifier on better takes of black leftist civil rights leaders. To think that communism had no use for the movement, is beyond ignorant considering how many of our civil rights leaders were Marxist. I am upset by this video. FD Signifier would have done better

@@cancelconservatism7041 FD is solid and well sourced. Great recommendation. MLK was a democratic socialist and there is no way around it. In fact if you listen to what Jesus actually advocated for in the Gospels, he really comes off as a peace loving socialist if not a full blown communist! That wasn't lost on many in the faith at the time, much to the chagrin of elite church leadership that of course wanted nothing to do with his actual teachings! Johnny simply misses far too much of the actual history and information when it comes to MLK. It's a super complex topic: not something that can be handled in a 30 min video, specially considering he doesn't even talk to the people that actually lived it that are still alive and reachable. Actually giving only 30 minutes to it almost ENSURES that you are misinformed on this subject. Do the work and learn for yourself who he was and just who he was turning into. Read the entire letter from Birmingham, not just a few quotations. It really gives you incredible insight into the man and where he was at the time mentally, right before he died. In no uncertain terms he lambasts the "moderate liberal" as the real enemy and stumbling block to progress.

I will never forget the day they shot him. It came across on the television. It was a terrible time. My mother was very upset about it. She knew immediately that the government shot him. Everyone has suspected this ever since then. People aren't stupid. He was a large beacon of hope. We are a white upper middle class family but even to us MLK was a beacon of hope for a more fair and free society that included everyone. My mother was ahead of her time. She was completely for equality. She made sure that her children were introduced to and friendly towards black people.
