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...

Taken together it appears a significant step toward reducing tensions on the peninsula and reducing the risk of catastrophic war. You would think the US would be pleased at the developments and hopeful that diplomacy might take over from saber-rattling. But you would be wrong. US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley has poured cold water on the developments, screeching that North Korea must first give up its nuclear program before talks can even take place.

Now's a Great Time to Stop Meddling in Haiti

Image
Written by Ryan McMaken   Earlier this week, President Trump allegedly disparaged Haiti, describing it as "sh*thole." The response has been what you might expect. It's been a torrent of demands for apologies from the Trump administration and commentary on how "troubling" Donald Trump's views are.  Upon hearing of such comments supposedly directed at Haitians, a well informed person might be tempted to think "if  only  this were the worst thing a US president has inflicted upon the Haitian people."  But, as is typical for the American left and the mainstream media, uttering mean words is the worst thing a politician can do. Actively meddling in another country's internal affairs and undermining its elections? Well, that's no big deal — unless you're Russia, of course.  Indeed, anyone who has any familiarity at all with the history of US-Haiti relations knows that the US has a long, well-established habit of...
