Jesse is right.
Occupy Wall Street is just like the Civil Rights Movement. He should be the first to know because Jesse was MLK’s own protege.
It was Jesse Jackson that brought MLK to Chicago. He was with King in Selma. He was with him in Memphis when he was assassinated.
MLK was a socialist who believed in wealth redistribution. When he was assassinated, he was working on his “Poor People’s March on Washington.”
Many of the famous scenes for the so-called “Civil Rights Movement” are nothing more than flash mobs that were lionized by the liberal media.
The mob that was repulsed on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma was a flash mob from the George Washington Carver Housing Projects.
“I believe that Rev. Jackson is doing a disservice,” King said. “My uncle, the whole [civil rights] movement, was founded in prayer, in crying out to God in a peaceful movement. And this [Occupy] movement is not peaceful.”
This is a lie.
MLK never repudiated Malcolm X or Stokely Carmichael. The Black Panthers were born in Lowndes County, Alabama. The radical violent wing of the “Civil Rights Movement” rose to prominence after the Selma campaign.
MLK was surrounded by known communists like Bayard Rustin. This can all be found in the Taylor Branch biography. His closest advisor Stanley Levison also had all kinds of ties to the Communist Party USA.
JFK and RFK authorized wiretaps on MLK because of his communist affiliations. Those records are sealed, but the FBI knew at the time what he was about.
