Will it depict St. JFK and St. RFK listening in on wiretaps of their lost brother St. MLK?

They decided to publish the legend, not surprising.

Oliver just doesn't get it!

Well, here's a clue-by-four, Ollie ..... check out that statue of MLK on the National Mall. It's institutional Communist "ort" (that's what we call public eye-aborting decorations in Texas), the kind only North Koreans and Chicoms and hidebound Stalinists love.

And the sculptor was a dyed-in-the-wool Chicom.

MLK wasn't a Communist, but that won't stop American Communists from stealing him!

Get it now, Ollie?

Oliver Stone is a crackpot. He is an avant-garde agitator for the comintern. Therefore I dismiss anything he says, right or wrong, because he has no credibility.

That's probably a good thing. MLK may well not have been a "saint", but his good works don't need the Hollywood pervert treatment, either. Good on his family.

I would suggest to Mr. Stone that he try writing a
script dealing with the questions of Obama’s record
and see what happens to him...

I can think of 50 Americans who are more deserving of a national Federal holiday than Martin Luther King. One would be Dwight D Eisenhower for winning WW2 and Henry Ford, the innovator of mass production.

Damned. The nutcase Stoned wants to tell some of the truth about Dr. King Jr. and Hollywood goes into coverup, fire-his-ass mode. Well golly gee whiz! I’ll be knee high to a horned toad.

The shit has hit the fan and a lot of people are ducking. Problem is, nobody will tell the truth about King.

He was many things, some great, some good, some not so good. You’ll find a little about his shady side in David Garrow’s “The FBI and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.”

The problem was that Garrow, a respected left-liberal historian/professor, found things that he didn’t know about, didn’t understand, and didn’t research further.

He stumbled upon the FBI’s most successful Soviet penetration operation in history, “Operation Solo: The FBI’s Man in the Kremlin”, (the book), by my late friend John Barron, Regnery, 1996. He could have blown the operation wide open but Barron finally got permission from the Bureau to write a real history of “Solo” and company. This prevented Garrow from exposing the deep penetration operation before it could be wrapped up and the people inside gotten out to safety.

Barron helped expose the Soviet/Communist Party USA backgrounds and allegiances of two of King’s top advisors - Stanley Levison (KGB money handler for the Party, CPUSA member, King’s financial and political advisor) and Jack O’Dell (Hunter Pitts O’Dell), CPUSA National Committee Member as of 1961 (See: “Structure and Organization of the Communist Party of the United States”, Part 1, Hearing, House Committee on Un-American Activities, nov. 20, 21 & 22, 1961, p. 576.

O’Dell was King’s personal secretary/advisor, a member of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference organization (New York Chapter), then he became Jesse Jackson’s top man as the head of the much-needed (sarc) “International Department” of Operation Breadbasket (Jesse’s first conjob), then its successor, Operation PUSH, and then the Rainbow Coalition.

O’Dell was involved deeply in the “Hanoi Lobby” and the “Anti-Defense Lobby”, including the 1982-83 Nuclear Freeze/Mobilization for Survival protests against the cruise missile and Honest John missiles for Germany to prevent any Soviet invasion.

O’Dell was also a US delegate/member of the KGB/Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union “peace” front, the World Peace Council, from at least 1977-1980, according to ther “List of Members 1977-1980” book.

In this book, O’Dell was described as “Associate Editor, “Freedomways” Magazine (the CPUSA’s magazine aimed at the American black population); International Affairs Director, “People United to Save Humanity” (PUSH)”.

O’Dell was one of the communists behind Jackson’s trip to Syria in 1983 to “bring back” an American pilot shot down over Lebanon/Syria (Goodman), and turn it into an anti-American propaganda operation.

I wonder if all of this would have been in Stone’s movie. Guess we will never no.

Re Dr. King’s “adultery”, it was reasonably well known within the King family that he was “fooling around” (but the extent to which has never been made public). Our new FBI director Comy referred to wiretaps on Dr. King (they were mainly for internal security reasons because of his extensive contact with CPUSA/KGB operatives (some of whom he probably didn’t know were such, as they used and played him like a second-hand violin).

Comy said that he didn’t the Bureau to ever do to anyone what they did to Dr. King. Comy is full of crap. Perhaps he should read all the files on Dr. King. he might learn a few things about subversion along the way.

He might also learn about something that reportedly happened overseas that could have exposed him to Soviet blackmail and/or would have wrecked his marriage and his organization. Or so my source told me, and he should know.

No wonder Hollywood had a leftist shitfit when Stone actually proposed telling some of the truth about Dr. King in his planned movie.

As Harvey Weinstein and other wealthy leftists would say, “We don’t need no stinkin’ truth in our movies. Lies and coverups will do just as fine”.

Gee, I can hear the papers burning at FBI headquarters right now. The King files up in flames. Crackle, crackle, crackle.

Sometimes the “truth will not out”.

In the old days you could be in the mix on internal security issues if you knew the right people and they trusted you. And I knew some of the right people, yessire’.
Good men, good patriots. Sorely missed!(Bill, Ray, Ray, and Richard, among others).

FReepers. You can try to guess who these men were, if you want, or just trust me, they were in the “know”.

When I was in grad school, I had a vet student tell me his dad was an FBI agent assigned to protect MLK in Dallas during some march back in the 60s. He caught MLK and some number of his entourage having an orgy in MLK’s hotel suite. He stated the entire room was full of naked Africans. We have seen similar pictures in national geographic. Go figure.

I have to ponder,which Affie preacher will be the next in line to have a national holiday declared in his honor? Sharpton, Jackson, or Wright?

Pretty much the same strictures apply to the way MLK is discussed and portrayed in the media here as applied to portrayals of Lenin and other "heroes of the revolution" in the Soviet Union.

I know its fashionable to love MLK and blabber on and on about white guilt like it is sophisticated and all, but in honest truth George Washington means more to me than MLK. MLK day has an expiration date that is soon coming up, it had great partisan use that is coming to an end. Washington will still be in the history books front and center MLK will be in the bargain rack.

>> "The script dealt w/ issues of adultery, conflicts within the movement, and King's spiritual transformation into a higher, more radical being," Stone continued. "I'm told the estate & the 'respectable' black community that guard King's reputation won't approve it. They suffocate the man & the truth. I wish you could see the film I would've made. I fear if 'they' ever make it, it'll be just another commemoration of the March on Washington. Martin, I grieve for you. You are still a great inspiration for your fellow Americans--but, thank God, not a saint." <<

Yikes. Now is the insane liberal conspircy theorist loon Oliver Stone has written a MLK Jr. biopic that actually sounds pretty historically accurate and compelling (at least on paper). I never thought I'd agree with Oliver Stone's version of history. I'm not sure what's more jarring -- this or Vladmir Putin standing up for western civilization against Obama.
