		<description>The Martin Luther King Assassination Investigation has found that James Earl Ray did not shoot MLK.  He was not the assassin as claimed by the Prosecution in the case and did not plead guilty to killing King but rather pled 'legally' guilty to being a part of a conspiracy to kill King.  He had been told by his attorney, Percy Foreman, that because he had been near the scene and was an escaped convict at the time that he would get the electric chair for King's murder if he went to trial. It made no difference to Jimmy Ray's attorney, the prosecution, the court or the US Government that he was not guilty.

		<description>I also have read the book by James Earl Ray, several years ago and it was very compelling for me as a criminal lawyer. It was clear to me he was fixed up with a lawyer working for the government to shut him up and it is clear he had nothing to do with the murder of King. He was a patsy. Set up to take the fall. When I heard Judy Woodruth on the Lehrer News Hour on PBS state that Ray had confesses to the murder I was shocked. Though I guess I shouldnt have been. He never confessed. He always denied it til the day he died. But as Aldous Huxley once wrote "You shall know the truth and it shall make you mad."</description>

		<description>I MET A MAN –OR, WAS IT JAMES EARL RAY WHO KILLED DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING? 

I met a man. His name was Tupper Saussy. He happened to have been the ghost writer for a book by James Earl Ray, entitled “ Tennessee Waltz” published in 1987. The book gives Ray’s account of the events to state that he did not kill Dr. King.

Saussy’s view, in his long conversations with me,  was that James Earl Ray was not Dr. King’s murderer and he explained to me in considerable detail why Ray was not the killer, then gave me a copy of the book which  I then read.

On Thursday, the 3rd April, 2008, I watched a CNN special on the eve of the anniversary of Dr. King’s assassination. The book came back to mind and I asked myself on conclusion of the CNN special – why is CNN trying to confuse the public?

Before I return to the book’s contents, I would invite the reader to look at the physical location at the Lorraine Motel, where Dr. King was shot, and consider the photographs of the positioning of surrounding buildings, the trajectory of the bullet, and the direction that the witnesses present were all pointing to when the single shot rang out that  killed Dr. King. The web site is worth a visit and it is at :-(http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/ARTICLE1/overlooked.html).

The reasoning at the web site is sound, the pictures are clear and the conclusions can  logically be drawn. 

Back to the book. Read Ray’s own story for yourself and draw your own conclusions. The points I would leave you with are these:-

A.	Why would the witnesses present all be pointing in the direction they heard the shot come from, and CNN be leading the unsuspecting public in 2008  towards some alternative belief that they were pointing elsewhere to a window at a rooming house  across the street, from where Ray is supposed to have shot Dr. King? 
B.	Is there anything to be made of Ray’s reference to an operative or handler called  “Raoul”, and if Ray was this perfect sniper shot who assassinated Dr. King – did he simply conveniently drop all his evidence outside the doorway of the rooming house, to link him to the crime?
C.	If, it was Ray’s doing from reference to B above – then why don’t the test bullets fired from the weapon attributed to Ray not ballistically match the bullet taken from Dr. King – so who did fire the weapon that killed Dr. King?

Conclusion 

A single person cannot be in two places at the same time. There are two (2) vantage points for the location of the sniper who did  the shooting (1) a window from the rooming house and (2) the Gattis penthouse ( to which Andrew Young and all other witnesses are  pointing at the time of the shooting).

Again, carefully review the photographic evidence at the web site:- (http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/ARTICLE1/overlooked.html).

Now – you decide – who killed Dr. Martin Luther King? 

When the state is confronted with legitimate challenges against its destructive polices:-

“…I knew that I could not ever again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greater purveyor of violence in the world: my own government.” Martin Luther King in his “Beyond Vietnam” 1967 speech.
it has the power to destroy those who dare speak truth to power. The agents of the government of the United States of America did first attempt  to destroy the reputation  of Dr. Martin Luther, and used its FBI's COINTELPRO program to try by criminal means to destroy the credence of those who fought for and sought equal rights and justice.  When that failed – well – simply stated, the agents of the state just murdered Dr. King.

		<description>I find the work of Bill Pepper credible based on what I have heard at TUC Radio i.e. this transcript.   I find Maria Gilardin a credible and trustworthy journalist, bringing countless valuable voices to the national audience. 

I find the Dept. of Justice lacking in credibility.  I find the U.S. government systematically lying to the American people, by both omission and secrecy, and overt lying and misrepresentation.   A government that continually twists the meaning of constitution, law and treaty, torturing people, snooping without warrants, holding prisoners without habeas corpus, lacks credibility.   

The track record of the U.S. government in past crimes is poor. We were told Oswald acted alone, a magic bullet hit both victims, we were told America was under attack in the Tonkin Gulf, that Saddam harbored Al Qaida and was preparing to detonate nuclear bombs in American cities. The entire federal government from Bush and Congress, down to the local IRS or FCC or military recruiters, continually talks to as if we were children or imbeciles.   Meanwhile killing millions of people in imperial wars of aggression.

So the DOJ can take their "conclusion" and shove it.  We have learned, long ago, not to expect any justice from the Dept of Justice.   And we are not surprised by their "opinion" that Bill Pepper and his witnesses are "not credible".  Lacking a real rebuttal they apparently fall back on smear and ad-hominem.   

I remain open to factual rebuttal if there is any.</description>

		<description>Maria Gilardin provides recordings of Pepper at her website. (Also available at the A-Infos Radio Project.)

TUC is among te very best independent radio programs in the world.  If one hasn't listened one has missed a lot!

Maria is herself one of the most brilliant, fascinating and beautiful people I've ever had the pleasure to meet.  

Here's a snapshot of her last year at an event in Oakland:
