    Default Celebs and Fams of Kennedy, MLK Demand New Probes ...

    Sixty prominent citizens are marking Martin Luther King Jr. Day by calling for new investigations into the assassinations of 4 men -- assassinations that changed the world -- John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X.

    The group -- The Truth and Reconciliation Committee (TRC) -- believes all 4 assassinations were the result of conspiracies that were covered up by the government.

    Members of TRC include Oliver Stone, Alec Baldwin, Martin Sheen, Rob Reiner, David Crosby, Mort Sahl, Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Kathleen Kennedy Townsend and MLK's nephew Isaac Newton Farris Jr.

    TRC claims, "The conviction of James Earl Ray [MLK's convicted killer] has steadily lost credibility over the years." They note following the verdict, Coretta Scott King said, "There is abundant evidence of a major, high-level conspiracy in the assassination of my husband."

    The JFK assassination has long been controversial and scores of experts and others including Dr. Robert McClelland, one of the surgeons who tried to save JFK's life, believe Oswald did not act alone.

    There has also been significant criticism into the murder of Malcolm X, suggesting the investigations was a massive coverup.

    Incredibly, Alex Baldwin and I agree on something...

    Then have a new probe. People who think the government is covering something up will never believe a government probe, so let them pay for it.

    Actually it was a few months ago. When that dump occurred there were some files that even Trump won't release. That's probably where the truth is.

    Probably goes to protecting informants that are still around or giving insight into how we got information.

    My theory is that it shows clear evidence of a government sponsored assassination, and the powers that be don't want the US to look like a Banana Republic. We're supposed to be above all that shit, remember?

    I imagine RFK was a lone wolf. All before my time, but my general impression was that the late 60's saw people about as wretchedly emotional and bat shit crazy as they are right now.

    It's always been like that. In the 1860's the Democrats got so pissed off that they left the union. That resulted in more dead Americans than in all the other wars combined.

    Only 40% of them were Americans. The remaining 60% were from the United States.

    General George B. McClellan was a Democrat. He contested the 1864 election against Lincoln and lost. That was before the Republicans were taken over by BIG $$$$.





    P.S. Do Oliver Stone and Martin Sheen want a new investigation into Lincoln's assassination?

    Small detail, they were CONSERVATIVE Democrats, you didn't think the Radical Republicans were conservative did you?

    They were liberals following in the footsteps of liberals Jefferson and Madison. Those so-called radicals were conservative, following in the footsteps of Hamilton.

    Keep in mind, the original GOP platforms of 1854 and 1856 called for a defense of traditional marriage. Which party wants to trash the institution of marriage in 2019?
