The Assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. Was An Act of State

A Post-Election Wrap-Up: Iraq, 9/11, Drugs, Cheney, and Watergate Two, by Peter Dale Scott, 27 Nov 2004    The 9-11 bombings Are Not Acts of War The 9-11 bombings Are Crimes Against Humanity Broadening Our Perspectives of 11 September 2001  by David T.

Moore with accompanying articles, 12/5/03 They have spent $13 trillion tax dollars since the end of WWII on this military/intelligence complex, and it cannot protect its own headquarters?... How were they allowed to come into the most restricted air space in the world with no challenge or defense? That is the question that answers both when Bush knew in advance and begs any rational response. --John Judge, 5/19/02 [T]oday the Bush Jr administration accelerates its plans for launching an apocalyptic military aggression against Iraq, deliberately raising the spectre of a US first-strike nuclear attack upon that long-suffering country and its people. ....     The Bush Jr administration is making it crystal clear to all its chosen adversaries around the world that it is fully prepared to cross the threshold of actually using nuclear weapons that has prevailed since the US criminal bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Yet more proof of the fact that the United States government has officially abandoned "deterrence" for "compellance" in order to rule the future world of the Third Millenium.     The Bush Jr administration has obviously become a "threat to the peace" within the meaning of UN Charter article 39. It must be countermanded by the UN Security Council acting under Chapter VII of the UN Charter. In the event of a US veto of such "enforcement action" by the Security Council, then the UN General Assembly must deal with the Bush Jr administration by invoking its Uniting for Peace Resolution of 1950. --Francis Boyle, July 2002 The Defendant is a convicted war criminal consequently unfit to hold public office; citizens, soldiers and all civil personnel of the United States would be constitutionally and otherwise justified in withdrawing all co-operation from the Defendant and his government and in declining to obey illegal orders of the Defendant and his administration including military orders threatening other nations or the people of the United States on the basis of the Nuremberg Principle, that illegal orders of Superior must not be obeyed.

• Beyond Vietnam
  Martin Luther King speaking at Riverside Church, New York City, 4 Apr 1967

            "A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death. . . .
            "War is not the answer. Communism will never be defeated by the use of atomic bombs or nuclear weapons. Let us not join those who shout war and, through their misguided passions, urge the United States to relinquish its participation in the United Nations. . . .
            "We can no longer afford to worship the god of hate or bow before the altar of retaliation. The oceans of history are made turbulent by the ever-rising tides of hate. History is cluttered with the wreckage of nations and individuals that pursued this self-defeating path of hate."
