EXPANSION OF A COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN CONSORTIUM NEWS
“Remembering the FBI’s Vilification of Martin Luther King”
It actually went far beyond “vilification” to threats and police-state behavior.
The FBI has such a shameful history in fact that I often am amused by those pointing to its recent election-period work against Trump as though it were somehow out of character for these well-dressed goons.
The FBI has always been bent to serving political interests and has demonstrated remarkably little concern for justice or rule of law over its history.
It is a tool of the establishment state and its plutocracy, not all that different in a good deal of its behavior from East Germany’s old Stasi.
The founder of the FBI, the man whose name is still up in large metallic letters on the FBI headquarters building in Washington, had a personal career of bending and intimidating legislators regularly with material from his “personal and confidential” files. He also worked cheerfully with a truly crooked President like Lyndon Johnson to dig up dirt on opponents.
It was J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI that did all of the investigating for the Warren Commission’s shabby report. Solid evidence often was discarded, weak evidence emphasized, testimony altered, and the conclusion of the report existed from the first hour in Hoover’s head.
Hoover was pretty much in bed with the Mafia, or at least badly compromised by it. The Mafia is said to have had Jeffrey Epstein-type compromising photos of closet-gay and cross-dresser Hoover. He never pursued the Mafia with vigor when it really started to grow to power during Prohibition and into the 1960s with other revenue sources.
He always busied himself with the virtually non-existent threat of communism inside America, a country where people have always shown little interest in left-wing ideology.
