The Assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.
This documentary shows how the American media portrayed MLK in the media, and how the FBI through its illegal and covert COINTELPRO demonized social activists as communist infiltrators, using intimidation, violence and murder. How the government used another coverup after the murder they committed, after MLK's Poor People Campaign for economic justice went too far for the authorities. In 2000, King was voted 6th in the Person of the Century poll by Time, when he was alive though, Time was demonizing him along with every other mainstream media outlet, though hey, how many brainwashed Americans remember that shit? King was also elected the third Greatest American of all time by the American public in a contest conducted by the Discovery Channel & AOL, yet during his life he was the enemy of all government, media and whites in general. Fucking hilarious. How is it that the USA doesn't spontaneously implode by its own hypocrisy?
