They hate Communists with, well, everything they got. And that includes the blood of every human being on the planet.

Dr. King became their enemy the second he stood up for the people of Vietnam. Weird how he also became an enemy of the state -- simply for opposing war.

Seems more and more professional historians are starting to stand up to the warmongers.

JFK’S WAR AGAINST THE NATIONAL SECURITY ESTABLISHMENT: WHY KENNEDY WAS ASSASSINATED, PART 1

It's vital history that explains why things never really change for the War Party. And why Dr. King also became an enemy of the state, as are we all who oppose "official policy," like peaceniks, OWS, environmentalists, etc., and why the armed nuts are always left alone or brought in as consultants when needed as snipers by the FBI.

but it seems they both rubbed the same people the wrong way, Kennedy of course, even more so, because of his position. Thanks for this.
