Did you know that MLK was assassinated by the federal government?

#ConspiracyFact

MLK was killed by the federal government to put a stop to his mobilization of all poor people. This is not a conspiracy theory. This was proven in a court of law in 1999. Look it up. The King's won a wrongful death suit against the that year. The results of the trial were barely reported.

After Coretta King saw how lamely the trial was covered, she said.

“We have done what we can to reveal the truth, and we now urge you as members of the media, and we call upon elected officials, and other persons of influence to do what they can to share the revelation of this case to the widest possible audience.” – King Family Press Conference, Dec. 9, 1999.

The press did not comply.

The overwhelming evidence of US government complicity found valid by the jury includes:

US 111th Military Intelligence Group were at Dr. King’s location during the assassination.

20th Special Forces Group had an 8-man sniper team at the assassination location on that day.

Usual Memphis Police special body guards were advised they “weren’t needed” on the day of the assassination.

Regular and constant police protection for Dr. King was removed from protecting Dr. King an hour before the assassination.

Military Intelligence set-up photographers on the roof of a fire station with clear view to Dr. King’s balcony.

Dr. King’s room was changed from a secure 1st-floor room to an exposed balcony room.

Memphis police ordered the scene where multiple witnesses reported as the source of shooting cut down of their bushes that would have hid a sniper.

Along with sanitizing a crime scene, police abandoned investigative procedure to interview witnesses who lived by the scene of the shooting.

The rifle Mr. Ray delivered was not matched to the bullet that killed Dr. King, and was not sighted to accurately shoot.

The 1999 case you cite wasn't actually about any of this. It was a civil case filed by the King family against a Lloyd Jowers. Jowers claimed to have hired a hit man to assassinate King, but James Earl Ray struck before the hired gun did. The King estate sued Jowers for $100. Jowers, refused to testify about his remarks, and has actually in the past, made contradictory statements under oath. Given that he refused to defend himself, the jury found in favor of the King estate, however the only other party to the trial was Jowers, who lost $100. It was widely reported at the time. Despite some very dramatic statements made by both parties, a follow up suit was never filed, and the paltry sum of $100 doesn't seem to belie the kind of gravitas that you'd think such a case would.

Read a transcript of the case, you're cherry-picking facts. The ruling was in favor of the King family bc of die the overwhelming preponderance of the evidence, which included everything I mentioned. They didn't simply rule in their favor b/c Jowers refused to testify, that's ridiculous. He was named in the filing the one alleged to have set up the assassination, and the events described surrounding the case are irrefutable facts. Ray also withdrew his confession and the evidence presented in the trial actually exonerated him.
