Do not respond to me again as your mind is incapable of staying on topic.
It was on topic, as my overall post was about MLK, and expressing how I wasn’t sure whether his being a plagiarist would work in claiming he was a communist (since, again, the essay he wrote, whether plagiarized or not, specifically condemned communism), and I even pointed out that Levison writing that tract is even less likely precisely because he was a communist and thus wouldn’t even DARE claim Christianity was superior to Communism. And last I checked, the topic was about the transcripts on MLK apparently being amused at rapes. I covered those. That doesn’t mean I can’t use TJ or anyone else to back up any responses to that topic because they are still ultimately relevant to that point. MLK is a plagiarist, TJ is a plagiarist, ergo, both relevant to the topic at hand.
MLK’s wiretaps were indeed authorized by Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy after King refused to separate himself from known Communist members who were his top level advisors.
Bayard Rustin was King’s main advisor and mentor/handler in the late 1950’s. Rustin joined the Young Communist League in 1936; then (CPUSA) through the 1940’s.
The Soviets directed CPUSA to get active in civil rights movement for African-Americans. Following Stalin’s theory of nationalism, (CPUSA) favored the creation of a separate nation for African-Americans to be located in the south of the USA. However, after 1941 when Germany invaded the Soviet Union, Stalin ordered the CPUSA to abandon civil rights work and focus on getting the USA into WW2.
Disillusioned, Rustin began working with members of the Socialist Party instead. Rustin was a homosexual and was arrested in Pasadena, California in 1953 for committing sodomy in a car with two other men. He pleaded guilty to the crime of sex perversion and served 60 days in jail.
Rustin, the Communist and sexual pervert (that was the charge that he plead guilty to in 1953) then becomes Martin Luther King Jr’s #1 mentor, speech writer and adviser a few years later.
Another one of King’s most trusted advisors was Stanley Levison - he was another leader in the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) in the 1950’s. Yet another of King’s advisors and a director of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference was Jack O’Dell. During the 1950’s O’Dell was a member of the CPUSA.
Both Robert & John Kennedy tried to persuade MLK to separate himself from these communists that held powerful positions within his organization - MLK refused.
FBI Wiretaps of Martin Luther King Jr.
On October 10, 1963 Attorney General Robert Kennedy authorized the FBI to begin wiretapping the telephones of MLK. The Kennedy brothers were both liberal yet even they decided that the FBI needed to wiretap MLK because of his close connections to known Communists.
