This of course comes as no surprise to those who have known for years what "Dr." Michael was. A known plagiarist, dedicated Communist, and sexual deviant.

This is a bombshell report, particularly here in the #MeToo age, but for some reason has gotten little traction within the mainstream media. I wonder why that is? The wording of this particular article is pretty revealing in itself as to how hard it tries to hang on to the legacy narrative. It's clearly suggesting that the FBI reports are questionable. I mean, how many times can you use the words "claimed", "alleged" and "reportedly" in three paragraphs?


Is it time yet to tear down the statues and rename all of the streets dedicated in his honor?

If we are to tear down all his statues and rename the streets named after him, then we should do this to all civil rights leaders who had their own faults.

Shall I expect some emotional ripple in the cosmos when people, who should already be mature, realize that "none, save God, is good?"

Wasn't the guy that transcribed the events the same guy who tried to get MLK to commit suicide?

Im sure many white supremacists are salivating over this.
It sounds like your position on this is anti-blasphemy.

The only public model I can think that I have rarely if ever heard a negative thing about and who definitely was civil rights leader material would probably be Mr. Rogers.

I wonder how far the "news" goes with this? Not one American "news" outfit would run this story? It had to go to a European outlet to get it to print?



The guy who wrote the piece (I'm going to read it in full soon) said when the tapes come out in 8 years society is going to be shocked. Hmmm. I hope I am around to hear/see how the "news" covers that.

WSJ has reported that it's accurate.


They also reported that not one American "news" outlet would print the guy's story, even though it's credible.


He had to get an English outlet to get it out.


How far American "news" has sunk.
