In his sermon (which was vilified in the U.S. press), King did not speak to his government, but to all Americans, and agonised over his not having spoken up sooner.
Martin Luther King had cried out"A time comes when silence is betrayal. And that time has come for us in relation to Vietnam." [1]
So what would Rev. King have said to or about Americans since his assassination continuing to bring massive death and destruction to so many more small countries and the use of dire health crippling sanctions against smaller countries seeking social reforms of the U.S. imposed poverty causing private corporate capitalist exploitation of their indigenous resources - as in the blatant case of U.S. and it's ally U.K. blocking Venezuelan oil deliveries and seizing outright Venezuela's $millions in bank accounts.[2]
And Now Has? "that time when silence is betrayal come for Americans in relation" to the American brought about severe suffering of the Venezuelan people and their children?
King would have most certainly bitterly condemned as did President Maduro, the horrific genocidal bombing of the now 24,000, (mostly women and children) of Gaza, and held 'American silence as betrayal.' Israel is using an awesome quantity of U.S. provided weaponry in a genocidal wiping out of entire cites of Palestinians after generations long murderously holding Palestinians captive under illegal UN denounced military occupation. King would also have held American silence on the the recent ongoing wars on the citizens and their children in Yemen, Syria, Libya, Somalia, Iraq and Afghanistan as acquiescent to mass murder of innocents.

If some salient voice of world renown and difficult for CIA-overseen U.S. and Western media[4] to ignore, could point out to the criminal media mesmerised world that the government of the United States of America was condemned as the most violent in the world by America's own idol, civil rights leader Martin Luther King, this writer believes it would be a sensation, and a most difficult moment for the U.S. government and America's wars supporting mainstream media - which has for 57 years totally suppressed all mention of King's condemnation of his government's wars to protect predatory investments. Ending or a least reducing CIA-overseen Western media[4] outlets would contribute immensely to the world (and the U.S.) being released from the awful life taking grip of wars promoting U.S. grand corporate private capitalism.
