Who Killed Martin Luther King...And Why?


Written by Daniel McAdams
 

Martin Luther King, Jr.'s own closest advisors begged him to avoid focusing on the Vietnam war. It will alienate President Johnson, who is doing so much for the civil rights movement at home, they argued. MLK ignored them, vocally opposed the war, and found much of the liberal establishment had turned on him. Is that why he was assassinated? Tune in to today's Liberty Report:

Saudi Arabia Admits To John Kerry That It Created ISIS... But There Is A Twist

Image
Written by Tyler Durden On the day Barack Obama is kowtowing to his Saudi allies , and just days after a senior Obama administration finally made the admission that has been a "conspiracy theory" for years namely that " a lot of the money, the seed money if you will, for what became Al Qaeda, came out of Saudi Arabia, " the FT is out with another stunning revelation.  The FT has written an article that supposedly focuses on the US sources of growing diplomatic antipathy between the US and Saudi Arabia. The source of disagreement: the treatment of Iran. As US President Barack Obama arrives on a valedictory visit to Saudi Arabia this week, that 70-year-old bargain looks frayed by fractious relations with a ruling House of Saud that is coming under unpredictable new management. The shale-based energy revolution meanwhile shows the potential to liberate the US from dependence on Saudi and Gulf oil. Mr Obama’s main foreign policy achieveme...

Protectionism Is About Much More than Nationalism

Image
Written by Ángel Manuel García Carmona   Freedom fighters around the globe are aware of the rise of new and serious attacks against free trade. There are bilateral agreements that "harmonize" regulations and may favor crony capitalism , European agrarian policy tariffs that protect farmers,  alt-right and populist nationalists claims against delocalization of companies , and so on. This short list of examples, reminds us though that protectionism is not only an issue of populist nationalist parties that stem from rivalry among nation states and fear of foreign "enemies."  They do not necessarily stem from nationalistic concerns, but may simply be a result of ordinary special interst politics as with the Common Agricultural Policy which which subsidizes European farmers to produce crops which are often grown more cheaply in developing countries.  Unfortunately, many people continue to be unaware of the multitude of lesser cases of commercial protecti...

NSA "Sincerely Regrets" Deleting All Bush-Era Surveillance Data It Was Ordered To Preserve

Written by Tyler Durden There is a growing consensus among many observers in Washington that the national security agencies have become completely politicized over the past seventeen years and are now pursuing selfish agendas that actually endanger what remains of American democracy. As Philip Giraldi notes, up until recently it has been habitual to refer to such activity as the Deep State, which is perhaps equivalent to the Establishment in that it includes financial services, the media, major foundations and constituencies, as well as lobbying groups, but we are now witnessing an evolutionary process in which the national security regime is exercising power independently . Nowhere is that "independence" of the 'state within a state' more evident than in the blatant and egregious news this week that The National Security Agency destroyed surveillance data it pledged to preserve in connection with pending lawsuits and apparently n...
