LBJ in His HeyDay


Martin Luther King was an annoyance to the Lyndon B. Johnson administration when he fought for Civil Rights, but when he branched out and spoke for the unions, encouraging striking by the sanitation workers, he was going too far and had to be stopped. So they stopped him. They had already killed a popular president and his brother, so a black activist should be no problem at all. And it wasn't. All they had to do was frame one of the many, many racists for the shooting and the public would accept it. After all, the American people had become numb, used to seeing their heroes murdered at the hands of the CIA during this autocratic administration; surely they could squeeze one more in before it was over and get away with it. Just imagine how many assassinations Dumbya would order if he thought he could get away with it.
