On the 18th of November, 1964, the FBI’s appallingly corrupt boss J. Edgar Hoover denounced Martin Luther King Jr. as “the most notorious liar in the country.” A few days later, a Hoover deputy named William Sullivan wrote King a letter posing as a disillusioned follower and using powerful, manipulative language to urge the civil rights leader to commit suicide before evidence of his extramarital affair became public. Enclosed was an FBI recording containing evidence of the affair.
Whenever America celebrates Martin Luther King Jr. Day we should remind ourselves that it is a known, undisputed fact that the Federal Bureau of Investigation engineered a psyop to manipulate one of the world’s greatest minds into committing suicide. It is also worth reviewing the compelling argument for the case that the FBI was behind King’s assassination as well.
Hoover, who headed the FBI for decades, obsessively despised King on a deeply personal level. He kept files on the civil rights leader in which he’d scribble hateful comments on memos he received about King, apparently for no purpose other than his own gratification and catharsis. On a memo about King receiving the St. Francis peace medal from the Catholic Church, he wrote “This is disgusting.” On the news of King’s meeting with the pope, he scribbled, “I am amazed that the Pope gave an audience to such a degenerate.”
FBI headquarters still wears the name of this childish pig, a brazen admission by the Bureau that it remains very much the same institution which tried to end Martin Luther King Jr.’s life, the same institution which assassinated Black Panthers leader Fred Hampton, the same institution which for years ran the unconstitutional COINTELPRO campaign to infiltrate and sabotage dissident political groups, and which has continued to infiltrate dissident political groups, including Black civil rights groups, to this very day.
We received yet another reminder of the FBI’s true face the other day in an interview with its former Deputy Assistant Director Terry Turchie on Fox’s Tucker Carlson Tonight. In a passing tangent largely unrelated to the rest of the interview, Turchie made the following shocking statement in relation to the ongoing Russiagate saga:
“And I think we can expect more of this, because quite honestly the electorate in some places is putting more and more progressives and self-described socialists in positions. And ironically, years ago, when I first got into the FBI, one of the missions of the FBI in its counterintelligence efforts was to try and keep these people out of government. Why? Because we would end up with massive dysfunction and massive disinformation and massive misinformation, and it seems to me that’s where we’re at today.”
Wow.
Uhhhhhhh….Fmr FBI Assistant Director just said "When I first got into the FBI one of the missions of the FBI in its counterintelligence efforts was to try to keep" progressives out of government pic.twitter.com/l1KqQMO914
— Andrew Lawrence (@ndrew_lawrence) January 19, 2019
According to his LinkedIn profile, Turchie joined the FBI in July of 1972. COINTELPRO, the program in which leftist groups were actively infiltrated and undermined, officially ended in 1971, and Hoover had died in May of 1972. This was after “Hoover’s FBI” stopped being Hoover’s FBI, yet a “counterintelligence effort” was still very much alive and thriving to undermine the will of the electorate and prevent them from electing leftists to office.
This one admission, by itself, is in my opinion more than enough to justify the FBI’s total dissolution. Leaving aside any of their other malfeasance that I mentioned earlier, leaving aside the rest of their other documented malfeasance that I haven’t mentioned, this one admission by Turchie shows clearly that America’s secret police should cease to exist.
Think about it. How can anyone justify the FBI’s continued existence after such an admission? There is an extremely powerful branch of the US government which is known to have been actively undermining the democratic will of the electorate through covert means. Even if you very trustingly subscribe to the belief that the FBI no longer engages in any such practices to any extent (and that would be extremely naive), how can you justify keeping it in power knowing that it did? Where precisely in the FBI’s history is a clear, clean, unequivocal break from what it was doing then declared, documented and evidenced? For what reason was it not razed to the ground decades ago and any of its actual necessary functions transferred elsewhere?
Imagine if the Ku Klux Klan had successfully cleaned up its image in the ’90s or something. Now you’re seeing members of the KKK interviewed on CNN and MSNBC as respectable members of society, holding powerful political positions, treated like heroes, all under the same banner it held when it was lynching people of color a few decades prior. Would that not seem weird? Would you not say something like “Wait, why are we keeping that organization around? At best they’re probably just putting a nicer face on their previous toxic agendas, especially since any good intentions existing within it could simply be taken somewhere with a less horrific history.”
The only reason the FBI is being treated any differently is because it’s got such good PR, namely the entire political/media class.
Journalist Mark Ames documents a short-lived push by the Carter administration to “transform the FBI from an extralegal secret police agency to something legal and defined.” This feeble proposition to give the Bureau an actual charter to clearly define what it is, what it does, and where the confines of its operations are was the closest America ever came to putting any kind of limitations on the powers of its secret police force, and by the time Reagan rolled around it was long forgotten.
And now you’ve got this same evil institution essentially criminalizing the act of the executive branch pursuing good relations with a nuclear superpower, launching a secret counterintelligence investigation into whether a sitting president is a national security threat for his Russia policy. This cannot be leading anywhere good.
The FBI has too much power and far too unforgivable a history to be permitted to control the reigns of the nation with the most powerful military force in the history of civilization. Get rid of it and move in a healthy direction.

assassinations (in the 1960’s) of :
– President John F. Kennedy,
– Malcolm X,
– Martin Luther King Jr., and
– Senator Robert F. Kennedy
I agree, our FBI has become something other then what it was intended to be when it first became some 100 years give or take. The exact can be said about the CIA. The one where most Americans keeping forgetting or don’t see at all is the one corruption that began over 200 years ago in the Executive branch of our government. 44 men have been elected to head that branch of government and it seems all 44 have done a great job of slowly corrupting the office into something that was not intended beginning in 1789. The Presidency has become a cult for nothing but power hungry individuals who demand more and more power to control American lives. The Constitution is nothing more than a piece of paper to be manipulated and/or avoided. When you do it slowly, it becomes less painful I suppose, and the American people for sure won’t know what happen to them, with enough time. I could go on and on but the sad part is how this country is changing slowly into something that was not intended. That’s the forrest, but we seem to be content in fighting and name calling each tree.
Good story except you left out the FACT about MLK being a plagiarist, a philanderer, drug abuser and a sex addict. He was a complete fraud.
What can I say except ‘All True.’
“The only reason the FBI is being treated any differently is because it’s got such good PR, namely the entire political/media class.” And Hollywood and tv.
Gary Webb’s Dark Alliance expose showed how the CIA introduced crack cocaine into U.S. Black communities. The whole Drug War/Mass incarceration of people of color is just business to the Anglo-Zionist imperialist.
The American imperial mentality is just a continuation of the colonial mentality of past empires. Rudyard Kipling waxed poetically about this mentality in “White Man’s Burden”. Within the U.S. it is taught as “Manifest Destiny”. It just boils down to a mentality of genocide and enslavement of others deemed lesser than yourself especially those who phenotypically are different from yourself. The folks who have this mentality live in fear of others because they believe everyone thinks like them thus the need to ‘get them before they get us’ nonsense. Therefore negotiating with these people is a lost cause(see all the broken treaties the Anglo-Zionist empire has committed with the native populations of the world).
The scary part is that these people would rather die( go to war) than ever allow any system to evolve where actual democracy was the driving basis of society.

Because it is an institution of the Anglo-Zionist empire that is built on a racial(phenotype) caste system and the exploitation of black and brown people of the planet. Therefore those who are a particular phenotype enjoy a ‘white privilege’ and continue to support such institutions.
Orlando, perhaps you can define for me, a White man, what exactly is this “White privilege” I keep hearing about?
You care nothing for facts or anything resembling objective reality, the internet is at your fingertips, quit being an obtuse moron and educate yourself.
Orlando, why do you use phrases you cannot define? I will ask again, how do you define “White privilege”?
Kennedy and King Family Members and Advisors Call for Congress to Reopen Assassination Probes. “We’re on the brink today because we’ve all been living this Big Lie for over half a century: that the United States is a democratic republic, where government is chosen by the people in their own best interests, guided by great movements of dissent, and always well-informed by a free press.
This lie was traumatically exploded by those four assassinations, which made all too clear that the United States was to be governed not by We the People, through their duly educated votes, but by hidden interests using violence to wipe out any candidate or activist who might dare thwart their plans.

The FBI, CIA, and other 3 initial clandestine services have gone off the rails. Where is civilian oversight? Mass surveillance should be abolished. These powerful and childlike invasions of our privacy is indecent and lack humanity. Automation and AI are turning all of us into robotic versions of ourselves. The matrix must constantly be interrupted. The good always wins in the end. Love and Mercy
It’s a very interesting point that Caitlin makes –
Martin Luther King Day should be remembered for:
1) The great leader that MLK was (in spite of the flaws which are claimed).
2) The corruption and criminal behavior which the FBI had demonstarted they are capable (and there is really no reason to think it is any less now than it has been in the past).
As a start, it would certainly have merit to remove the name of Edgar Hoover from and position of honor in the government. His name is a slur. He was a corrupt, bigoted monster.
The government would resist this initiallay because of the need to promote an image of integrity and service.
If William Barr is confirmed as Trump’s new AG, which now appears likely, the FBI will have yet another psychopath at the helm to champion and perpetuate its malignant reign of terror, extrajudicial killings and criminal cover-ups, with virtual immunity. Barr, we should recall, previously served as AG under George H.W. Bush and was senior in command at DOJ during the para-military FBI siege at Ruby Ridge, Idaho in 1992 that resulted in the cold-blooded murder of Randy Weaver’s wife and their 14 year old son by federal agents. The pernicious current DOJ Special Counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, served as Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division under Barr during the Ruby Ridge fiasco. Louis Freeh was Barr’s FBI Director. Larry Potts was the Deputy Director responsible for supervising the assault on Weaver’s home. Lon Horiuchi was the FBI sniper who was ordered to shoot and kill the unarmed and unsuspecting Vicki Weaver while she held her 10 month daughter, Elisheba. That child’s innocent blood will forever remain on the hands of the aforementioned government criminals. Five months after the Ruby Ridge Massacre, Janet Reno, the new AG under Bill Clinton, authorized the FBI terror attack on the Branch Davidian residential complex at Waco, Texas, resulting in the unmitigated slaughter of 76 people by their own government. The cast of degenerate characters responsible for the murderous assault at Waco mirrored the list of culprits who executed the Ruby Ridge massacre, augmented in force by Deputy Assistant AG, General Mark Richard, the ‘criminal’ head of the DOJ’s Terrorism & Violent Crimes Section of the ‘Criminal’ Division (TVCS/CRM). The Irony is palpable. In charge of the government’s subsequent internal investigations in 1995 of the DOJ/DOD/FBI/ATF militarized assaults at Ruby Ridge and Waco was none other than William Barr, who effectively exonerated every senior government official and degenerate tactical enforcer responsible for those despicable crimes–including, of course, himself. The only means to effectively eradicate such a pervasive malignancy as the FBI is to cut it out, but because the malignancy runs so deep through the entire U.S. federal government system, such radical action would expose many closely connected and tangential federal organs to the same terminal fate. The psychopaths who control the system will never tolerate such an invasion. They will die before ever releasing their grip on power. If the people don’t wake up soon, we will go down with them.
CB, yup. Barr and Kavanagh are both despicable swamp critters. As in all things, look for what a person actually does not what they say.
“The only reason the FBI is being treated any differently is because it’s got such good PR, namely the entire political/media class.”
PR is newspeak for propaganda. That’s not the “only reason” it’s treated differently. It is a very important component of the power it wields thru media control via leaks. Hoover developed leaking to a fine art. It was amazing to me that Comey just came out and sanctimoniously announced that he leaked to his prof bud just to trigger a special counsel! That was considered no news by the media. Unbelievable!
.
Comey publicly revealed one of the IC’s primary means of propaganda and nobody even expressed shock. They didn’t make a big deal of it (or any deal at all) because they very subjectively felt like it was justified. Why? Because any means necessary are acceptable in the quest to get Trump.
.
This is why it’s important to always think critically about any report wherein the reporter relies on anonymous sources. The IC is almost always behind the curtain. The question is why are they leaking this info. And this reveals why PR, aka propaganda, is not the only reason the FBI (and other IC agencies) are treated differently. The reporter sees his contact as a valuable asset. He sucks up to the leaker because that’s his ticket to the scoop. The IC plays reporters like a fiddle.
.
Secondarily, the IC work together. When Truman created the CIA, he inadvertently created competition for the FBI. The CIA was supposed to restrict its activities to other nations while the FBI was supposed to be for domestic intelligence gathering. Inevitably, overlap happened immediately. Then Truman, as a parting shot, created the NSA, aka No Such Agency. This covert operation has quietly ballooned into a behemoth of unimaginable proportions – and power.
.
The FBI and CIA had a lot of skirmishes as Hoover was thought the CIA was infringing on his turf. Those days seem to have mostly passed after his death and cooperation has replaced competition. Both rely heavily on data collected by the NSA. This is the massive metadata that it collects to this day. When the frontline agencies identify a target, the NSA is there to assist.
.
Hoover compiled data and created files on nearly everyone he perceived as influential. This is a fundamental building block of control and blackmail. So, this is another, and possibly the most important reason, the FBI is treated differently. When you hear someone, like that twit Schiff or that Nazi Swalwell mindlessly speculating on Russia “having something on” Trump, the truth is the IC likely “has something on” all of them, and you too. The NSA provides the data on which blackmail is built. Based on the data collected, they can make up stuff too. They’re all scared shitless of the IC. Nobody wants to get on their wrong side.
.
This is getting too long. I just meant to refute that one statement quoted. I could go on. Happy MLK Day!
Political interference with the electoral process by the FBI is certainly not new but in the anti-Trump campaign orchestrated initiated by then President Obama in support of the Clinton clan, a dam seems to have been finally broken. Clearly a federal investigative agency is essential, but sometimes, on an institutional level, conduct is so egregious as to make real reform improbable and the institution has to suffer the death penalty and be replaced by something completely new. Unfortunately, that revolutionary solution rarely occurs outside the context of revolutions, and revolutions are almost always extremely destructive. The Deep State, an obvious reality to anyone who has objectively observed the functioning of power and the constant distortions of reality reflected in both popular news and popular history, has become so powerful and so entrenched that only the patience of water versus rocks seems to provide us with hope for the future.
The King family won a federal court case in 1999 that proved Martin Luther King was murdered by a criminal conspiracy of the CIA, the FBI, which, like the CIA, has always been a hard core criminal organization, Army “Intelligence,” and the media. MLK, was like JFK, and RFK, murdered by the fascists who took control of the U.S. government during, and after WWII, when large numbers of Nazis were imported to the U.S. armed services, and “intelligence” communities. MLK, JFK, RFK, and the Black Panthers posed enormous threats to the fascists in charge of the U.S., and now most of the western world. https://ratical.org/ratville/JFK/MLKACT/
the covering up of crimes and atrocities by the FBI and lying to the public in order to influence the public to believing something that they know isn’t true ,is an act of treason. seams dishonesty has taken over the world ,USA on top Nr 1
Yes the FBI, like all government agencies is thoroughly corrupt and should be disbanded – with prosecutions. But the other truth is that MLK was indeed a total fraud.
Can you provide any proof that MLK was fraud?
Orlando, mlk plagiarized his doctrinal thesis which means he is not a “Dr”. He claimed to be a reverend yet he was a serial wife cheater. Hell mlk is not even his real name.
The FBI is as criminal and filthy as the CIA, NSA, and all the other spy agencies. The only difference is, that this organization focuses on US territory. “Mainly”, because the FBI for instance participated in the British Venona Project,
……..
Hoover was a cross dresser (Anthony Summers: The Secret Life of J. Edgar Hoover) and loved all-male parties. This would be his private business if he would not have used alleged sexual improprieties to pressure people who came into the FBI’s crosshairs (Lavender scare).
……..
Under Hoover, agents had to seize all pornographic materials and forward them to Hoover personally. He kept a large collection of films and photographs with a particular emphasis on nude photos of celebrities.
……..
In 1965 civil rights activist Viola Liuzzo was murdered by Ku Klux Klansmen, who opened fire at her car after noticing that her passenger was black. One of the killers was FBI informant Gary Thomas Rowe. The FBI then spread rumors that Liuzzo was member of the Communist Party and had abandoned her children to have sexual relationships with African Americans.
……..
In 1950 Hoover submitted to President Truman a plan to suspend habeas corpus and detain 12,000 Americans suspected of disloyalty.
……..
The FBI spied and kept files on Helen Keller, Charlie Chaplin, Truman Capote, Arthur Miller and Marilyn Monroe, Albert Einstein, John Lennon, Malcolm X, Lous Farrakhan, Jackie Robinson, Steve Jobs, and countless others.
……..
The murder of Black Panther Fred Hampton and other gut wrenching atrocities. Well, it all is dismissed as conspiracy theories by establishment media.
Is that you , Mr. Comey ?
.
Do you dress up when you post as “Cindy” ?
To see James Comey go before congress and the American people and express righteous indignation because it was being suggested that the Bureau was less than completely altruistic in all its endeavorswas nothing short of ludicrous.
J. Edgar Hoover was a black man.
Read “Secrets Uncovered, J Edgar Hoover – Passing For White?” by Millie McGhee, whose grandfather said Hoover is related to her family. She did genological studies and found it was true, Hoover was black, passing for white.
Maybe that onerous secret explains his intense obsession with targeting black men, especially Martin Luther King, Jr.

Funny.
Isn’t it amazing that some foreigner understands our government better than most who live here?
There is no brag to “Our”.
You have jumped the shark this time, Caitlin. You clearly don’t understand our system of government at all so quit pretending you are. Our justice system, for one thing, is nothing like yours, Canada’s, or the UK’s.
Is that you , Mr. Comey ?
.
Do you dress up when you post as “Cindy” ?
You’re correct, Caitlin understated how corrupt our fascist U.S. government is, and what a degenerate, reprobate POS, pedophile, cross dressing deviant psychopath and sociopath J. Edgar Hoover, was and she should have mentioned J. Edgar Comey the Clown, a total deviant creep. The CIA, and the FBI are criminal organizations, and have been from the very beginning. Both use fronts of public safety, and public security behind which to hide in the same way Al Capone used opening soup kitchens during the Depression to hide his criminal activities. Al Capone had more integrity than did pedophile, cross dressing deviant psychopath J. Edgar Hoover, or for that matter more than do Clap brain infected James Clapper, deviant Comey the Clown, John Brennan, pedo GHW Bush, who was a closet case who liked little black boys, according to Paul Bonacci, a victim of the Franklin scandal, who won a $1 million judgement in a civil suit, the Bush, or Clinton Crime Families, and Barack, bath house Barry, Obama. Are you a distant relative of J. Edgar Hoover? He looked like a cross between a pit bull, and a tiny little pug.
