DOJ Moves to Unseal FBI Recordings of MLK; Family Wants Them Kept Private Because He Was A Womanizer

They want to hide what the FBI found out. MLK was both a communist and a philanderer. The truth is going to change a lot of views. It still won’t change that any MLK Blvd in any city is where the crime is.

(José Niño, Headline USA) In keeping with the Trump administration’s transparency promise, the U.S. government has filed a motion to unseal FBI surveillance records of Martin Luther King Jr. nearly two years ahead of schedule. 

The document in question is titled, “MOTION BY THE UNITED STATES TO UNSEAL TAPES AND DOCUMENTS” and it was filed on Monday by the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia. The motion was made in a lawsuit filed by King associate Bernard Lee and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference all the way back in June 1976.

The lawsuit stems from allegations that the FBI unconstitutionally monitored the conversations of King and other Conference members. In 1977, U.S. judge dismissed the lawsuit, but ordered the FBI to provide surveillance tapes and related documents to the National Archives as a “compromise.”

Those recordings and documents were sealed by court order in 1977 for 50 years, and were set to remain classified until January 31, 2027.

In its motion, the U.S. government referenced a January executive order issued by President Donald Trump. The order called for a review and release of documents connected to the assassinations of prominent figures, including MLK. 

The government said it believes there is strong public interest in understanding MLK’s assassination and sufficient time has passed since the records’ creation for the government to come clean about the FBI’s role in spying on the civil rights leader. 

“The Court should unseal the tapes and documents about the FBI’s surveillance and wiretapping of the Reverend King and the Conference so that the Attorney General may review them, identify any records about the assassination of the Reverend King, and release those records in compliance with the President’s executive order,” Justice Department lawyers said.

However, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference currently opposes the motion to unseal. According to a New York Times report, the SCLC is worried that revelations about King’s personal affairs could be used to damage his reputation.

America’s History Is Filled With Black Heroes Better Suited For A Memorial Day, As Corruption Comes Out On MLK

Firstly, why is MLK controversial as a hero? King did a great deal for Civil Rights and inspired millions, undeniably, but there is evidence he also did a number of morally reprehensible things in his personal life, including having affairs with as many as 45 women. And then there’s the fact that part of his most famous speech was plagiarized from another black Republican, Archibald Carey.  In 2019 it was reported that, “Secret FBI tapes that accuse Martin Luther King Jr of having extramarital affairs with ’40 to 45 women’ and even claim he ‘looked on and laughed’ as a pastor friend raped a parishioner exist.” Whether all those accusations are completely true or not — the FBI has sometimes been accurate in investigations — King was undeniably a philanderer and plagiarizer. He was not the best representative of black American heroism. So who is? Well, I don’t know if there’s one person in particular. But there are countless noble and essential black heroes in American history who deserve far more recognition than they now get. It is important to celebrate Americans of all ethnic backgrounds, but in light of tomorrow’s holiday, I will focus on black Americans today.

Trump has indicated that he’ll release the files on MLK, RFK and JFK. We’ll see how much of a quality citizen he really was. I imagine some folks are going to be disappointed.

Tomorrow is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. It has been corrupted by the radical left, which tries and push CRT while playing up the accusations of America as a racist country. But even apart from that Democrat framing, I’m going to make the controversial argument that Martin Luther King, Jr. is not the ideal representative of civil rights heroism in American history. 

It is long past time that Americans on both sides of the political aisle faced the truth of the racism in America’s past and honored the black American patriots of our history. In terms of its founding principles and ideals, America, of course, was not founded to be a racist country. The opposite is true. As Frederick Douglass once observed, slavery could’ve been abolished without changing a word of the Constitution. Black Americans could vote in most states when the Constitution was first ratified. But unfortunately, as with any great endeavor, America did not always live up to its own ideals, and thousands of people suffered for it. So today, let us take the opportunity to learn about some of the largely unsung black heroes of American history, whose courage and virtue made this nation what it is. You probably haven’t heard of many of them, so perhaps pick one or two out of my list below for further study. James Armistead Lafayette, Booker T. Washington, Elijah Anderson, Joseph Rainey, James Baskett, Hiram Revels, Augustus Tolton, Samuel Lee, Bill Robinson, Phillis Wheatley, Medgar Evers, William Still, Milton Olive, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams… every one a hero.
