Gerald McKnight, the FBI, the MPD, and the MLK assassination

[Charles Drago]

[T]he FBI remains top of my list of suspects for sure.

I've often wondered if Hoover let James Earl Ray escape. When they picked up the obviously planted bundle from the doorway of Canipe's, they had evidence that should have led them straight to Ray - a radio with his Missouri State Pen inmate number on it. They could have traced the serial number on the radio, found out where and when it was sold, and then the inmate number would have given them Ray's name. But they didn't. Instead they searched for Eric Galt, surely knowing that it was an alias, until Ray was safely out of the US. And then they made only a half-assed attempt to extradite him, supplying the British court with little more than Charlie Stephens' "identification" and the promise of some fingerprint evidence that the bureau never delivered. And I can't help thinking that the FBI were hoping the UK would refuse to extradite him on such flimsy evidence so that they wouldn't have to try him with such a weak case and could continue convicting him in the press.

"Suspects" for WHAT?

I swear to Christ, it's as if the Sponsor/Facilitator/Mechanic model never was presented.

Have we learned NOTHING from our studies?

"The FBI" and "the CIA" conspired to kill neither JFK nor MLK.

You conflate the hammer with the carpenter.

You conflate the carpenter with the architect.

You conflate the architect with the homeowner.

The Sponsors are wetting themselves from laughter.

In the spirit of true comradeship I would like to explain to Lauren and all other interested parties the reasoning and emotions behind the word choice, subtext, and tone of my post above.

After repeated attempts at engaging the correspondents herein referenced and others with well-reasoned, respectfully constructed and presented arguments urging deeper, better-informed, deep politics-directed appreciations of conspiracy theory in general and JFK conspiracy theory in particular, they continue to fall back on the most simple-minded, self-destructive positions imaginable.

And then, having contributed yet again to the slow strangulation of our allegedly joint efforts, they slap each other on the back and raise their glasses to shared triumphs.

Just look at the only response they've been able to muster:

"Meanwhile back at the ranch ... " [sic]

You can't put a dollar sign on such high-quality intellectual product.

I have had e-fucking-nough of this insanity!

I stand by my original post -- the questions it poses, the chain of errors it reveals.

Let all who disagree come forward with well-reasoned counter-arguments.
