Dr King was offered the vp position in RFK's bid for the presidency...
And those in charge of the JFK assassination 'investigation' (Dulles etc), the MLK 'investigation', and RFK 'investigation' (Special Unit Senator, Lt Manuel Pena being CIA and LAPD simultaneously) and the litany of coverup for the past 40 years...come on.
The trite 'mafia did it' just doesn't wash anymore.
Joan Mellen's book, A Farewell To Justice, and a look into William Pepper's An Act Of State, shows us that "governmental agencies" were involved, according to the Memphis jury that heard the Jowers case.
"In answer to the question, `Did Loyd Jowers participate in a conspiracy to do harm to Dr. Martin Luther King?' your answer is `Yes.'" The man on my left leaned forward and whispered softly, "Thank you, Jesus."
The judge continued: "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.'" An even more heartfelt whisper: "Thank you, Jesus!"
