The Silence of Clergy Today versus Rev. King's "Silence is Betrayal!"

We rarely hear even a peep from Clergy regarding US invasions and ongoing bombings in seven countries. Is this for its observing the doctrine of 'Separation of Church and State' or because the Church has become BOUND to the State and SEPARATED from its faith?

It would seem that given King's example, mainstream clergy in America has a clear choice. Continue to be silent, copying the shameful role of the Church during the Vietnam War almost to the end, or quote the documented words of a martyred giant the establishment has felt forced to honor with national holiday, the only American so honored.

King was made a saint of civil rights to shut down the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, who condemned American invasions and bombing and was murdered by his government.*

No church is going to lose its tax status for quoting a fellow Reverend Doctor with unassailable national recognition no less! MLK is an icon. King has stature. His words bite true! Only to put King's words in Sunday sermons now in the nation's and the world's hour of need. "For the sake of the hundreds of thousands trembling under our violence, I cannot be silent."-- King followed these words with a horrific description of U.S. crimes against humanity. Click on, and read it!

This is also the advice of former US Attorney General Ramsey Clark, who King gave a copy of his blistering sermon to.

Martin Luther King was shot to death on April 4th, in 1968, in Memphis Tennessee.

On December 8, 1999, a jury in Memphis, Tennessee returned a verdict that civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. was the victim of an assassination conspiracy and did not die at the hands of a lone gunman. The verdict:

THE COURT: "In answer to the question did Loyd Jowers participate in a conspiracy to do harm to Dr. Martin Luther King, your answer is yes. Do you also find that others, including governmental agencies, were parties to this conspiracy as alleged by the defendant? Your answer to that one is also yes."

THE JURY: "Yes!" (In unison).

This verdict followed a three-week trial of a wrongful death lawsuit which the King family filed - but not for money.
