Martin Luther King Jr.' was courting assassination not merely for his condemnation of U.S. crimes against humanity in the neo-colonized poor populations of the world, but for condemning the "unfair predatory investments" that US wars are meant to maintain for the wealthy elite that still rule America and most of the world today.
A
Memphis jury's verdict on December 8, 1999, in the wrongful death
lawsuit of the King family versus Loyd Jowers "and other unknown
co-conspirators," found that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated
by a conspiracy that included agencies of his own government. Take a
moment to put King's condemnation of U.S. wars to use during this
anniversary of his assassination documented as described above. (See previous OEN King assassination anniversary articles by clicking on links at below the end of this one.)
King's
condemnation of his country's government as "the greatest purveyor of
violence in the world" made headlines internationally. He frightened
the international community of investors, because this man capable of
arousing the indignation of the nation spoke not to his government's
elected politicians but to the American people who had agreed to
immorally accept, acquiesce and support these wars. What must have been
intolerable for the gang on Wall Street was listening to a beloved and
proven successful leader of the masses
rail against the injustice provoked by investors. This was something
ominously frightening for the stability of their investments, and to
their keeping their power to rule.
Though progressives expected commercial media to again ignore King's assassination anniversary as it has studiously as mainstream media always has, they needn't be silent about it. Our opportunity comes the day after we witness the calculated media silence. 'Their' media ignores King's assassination anniversary, just as its entertainment/news media ignores the millions of deaths of even women and children, who fall in harms way of American invaders. we must all the more emphatically raise our voices in condemnation of this blocking mention King's assassination and this colossal loss of life in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, taken Libyan lives in Libya recently taken and now our having the CIA and its five Middle Eastern branches see to what they can accomplish in Syria. This is what King Jr. would have wanted us do. This is what 'peoples historian' Howard Zinn spoke to in his radio broadcasts.

King
demanded condemningly, "Look across the seas and see individual
capitalists of the West investing huge sums of money in Asia, Africa,
and South America, only to take the profits out with no concern for the
social betterment of the country. This is a role our nation has taken, "
refusing to give up the privileges and the pleasures that comes from
the immense profits of overseas investments. This is not just."

Seems it is left to scholars to remember that after every popular revolution against investor controlled imperial rule, the overthrown politicians guilty of crimes against humanity were prosecuted in a reconstituted legal court system of criminal law, following their previous prosecution in the court of public opinion during the last days of their rule over society. The French, Mexican, Russian, Cuban, Chinese and Iranian Revolutionary Courts are examples of reconstituted courts prosecuting the very criminals that had already been prosecuted in the court of public opinion while investors had held power over the court system corrupted for their benefit and protection.
Another example to remember during the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.' assassination is that racist crime is now prosecuted in by the established legal system, but only after King led racist crime successfully prosecution in the court of public opinion (despite all the violence the racist criminals brought down upon King's non-violent prosecution of them in that court of public opinion.) In the manner in which King explained the history of investor generated wars, this new campaign, Prosecute US Crimes Against Humanity Now contains a country by country history of US crimes.

APRIL 4! ANNIVERSARY OF ASSASSINATION and ANTI-WAR OUTCRY Excerpts - An Obama Must Read
It has often been suggested that we reread King's Beyond Vietnam - a
Time to Break Silence substituting Afghanistan and Iraq for each time
Vietnam is referred to. But in parts of this sermon herein quoted King
speaks to a time beyond the end of the war that brought him to cry out
against in aguish insisting a breaking of our silence to demand moral
change - one year to the day on which he was shot dead.

MLK Was Murdered Exactly One Year After Condemning U.S. Imperialist War and Capitalism
(1 comments)
It is widely believed that King's condemnation of imperialist war
madness and the capitalist "insanity of putting profit above humanity"
cost him his life and cost the U.S. the loss of his much 'too effective'
leadership. Historian Howard Zinn supports awakening Americans today by
quoting from King's "Beyond Vietnam" speech. Read UN Ambassador Andrew
Young testimony in the King family's successful Memphis conspiracy
trial.
