FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover called Martin Luther King the "most notorious liar" 50 years ago. At the same time, the FBI sent King an anonymous letter threatening to expose his extramarital affairs. The letter, believed to be written by one of Hoover's deputies, also hinted at an accompanying audiotape. The unredacted version of the letter was recently made public. The FBI had been wiretapping King's associates since the 1950s, and by 1963, they were wiretapping King himself. They had extensive information about his personal life and political activities. The reaction to Hoover's charges was one of shock and surprise.

Throughout history, the FBI has been used to spy on American citizens who disagreed with certain policies, such as Woodrow Wilson using it during World War I and both Democrats and Republicans using it during the Vietnam era. It seems that the FBI was specifically designed to monitor Americans who opposed foreign policy. While some of their investigations have been beneficial, the FBI's extensive record-keeping could be handled by state justice departments. On the other hand, the CIA, which has only been around since 1947, has a poor track record. It was utilized by Democratic administrations, but the details are not mentioned.

Throughout history, institutions like the FBI have been used to spy on American citizens who disagreed with certain policies. Woodrow Wilson utilized the FBI during World War I to arrest those who opposed his foreign policy. Similarly, both Democrats and Republicans employed the FBI to monitor various groups, including churches, during the Vietnam era and Central American policy disagreements. While some investigations may have been beneficial, the FBI's surveillance on Americans who express dissent, particularly regarding foreign policy, raises concerns. It is worth considering whether the FBI's role in investigating crime could be fulfilled by state justice departments, without compromising civil liberties. The FBI is known to maintain extensive records on individuals.

The first participant asks the second to identify who did each major event. For MLK Jr., the second participant says, “That was a CI operation because they considered him a dangerous communist. And but the FBI was bugging the, in churches where he was giving some of his speeches in churches. They were bugging the podiums and following him around. He was a top target, for elimination.” For JFK, the second participant states, “I think that was a CI hit. They they may have employed some mafia connections to carry it out because that was their mafia assassination program.” Concerning LBJ, the first participant notes, “LBJ was very involved in all that in Dallas. So,” and the second participant adds, “he an evil man.” The first participant affirms, “He was an evil man.” Turning to Pearl Harbor, the second participant claims, “They knew the attack was coming was coming. They knew where it was gonna happen in Pearl Harbor and when. And they they told no one, and they let it happen on purpose. That that's from the commander of the Pacific Fleet. I would say that's a pretty pretty credible witness.” He continues, “So, yeah, that that was a false admitted that. They admitted they had the and they heard it was gonna happen. And, you how know, else were you gonna get Americans to be on the side of this war that had nothing to do with us?” This leads to the discussion of 9/11. The second participant says, “My opinion. As a criminal investigator, as a former CI officer, nine eleven was not the act of a bunch of poorly flight trained terrorists that executed an unbelievably meticulous, piloting of those aircraft, even even pilots. There's there's pilots for nine eleven truth now, and they say, we could not have done that. Not possible.” He adds, “And then we go to the passport issue, and we go to the Tower 7, which was a controlled demolition.” The second participant further asserts, “You talk to any structural engineer, and and and I I have. And the fact I think George w Bush blacked out. I think it was 40 pages of the 09/11 report dealing with Saudi Arabia. So what wait a minute. This report was supposed to be for the American people on what happened, and you blacked all these pages out? What in the world?” He continues, “I do not think that it was a bunch of un poorly trained or untrained terrorists that did it. I think there was another source behind it. I think it was intentional, and I'm going just from a a criminal invest investigative perspective just looking at the evidence, what evidence we have, that that was an intentional act, And it would fall right into the MO that you and I are talking about.” He concludes that the event was “Horrible” and emphasizes that “the shadow government deep state or especially the CIA. It does not matter. Their pawns on their chessboard, they don't care that three thousand people were horribly killed that day, but it achieved the aim of gutting the US constitution, bringing in the horrific Patriot Act Mhmm. Giving the CIA unthinkable authority for secret prison prisons and torture beyond waterboarding and and secret renditions and all of that, the FBI, the ability to to, spy on Americans came out of the Patriot Act. So it was the perfect national security state, energizer that the Patriot Act was, and 70 of the congressmen and senators that read the Patriot Act didn't even read it. They just signed off on it without even reading the bill.”

Speaker 0: He delivered a speech at Riverside Church on 04/04/1967, a year to the date before he was assassinated. And that was a powerful anti war speech that he delivered. Speaker 1: What would you say was the significance of that particular speech? Speaker 0: The real significance was that it put him, his footprints heavily into the anti war movement for the first time. And he termed The United States the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today. And so he was rising as a severe principal critic of the government in that speech. Another negative significance is that he was attacked from all sides. He was called a traitor by mainstream media. Millions of dollars were withdrawn from his organization, Southern Christian Leadership Conference. So he lost a great deal by taking that position. All of that is significant. Speaker 1: What do think was the primary motivation behind the killing? Speaker 0: I think assassinations, political assassinations are a last resort, as a rule. But I think in terms of The United States from what I've observed and throughout its history, and there have been assassinations other than those in the sixties, remember, I think it's a last resort. I think if they can, if a person is troublesome to them and potentially can develop a following, I think they have to stop him. Now they can do that by rendering him unemployable, by having him set up in some kind of a scandal or sexual activity that destroys his credit or her credibility. They can buy him off by giving him a job or position. There are a variety of techniques by blacking them out in terms of the media. And so if they can't control any other way, and the person is that critical in terms of potentially mobilizing people, that's when political assassinations take place. Assassination is the last resort. Martin King was assassinated not only because he was bringing enormous thought to the whole Vietnam War effort opposing it and the corporate militarists of the society, the weapons providers, energy providers, all of that were going to lose huge fortunes of money if that war ended. So it was not only that but it was the fact that he was going to bring half a million people to Washington in the Poor People's March. And the military believed that they would see their mission as a failure because they would go to the congress, try to get them to change the the priorities for public funding from from the military, take some money from the military, and bring it into social services programs, and they wouldn't be successful. And that would that would radicalize the group to such a point where they might have a revolution on the streets of Washington with masses they couldn't control. They didn't have the troops. Westmoreland wanted 200,000 more in Vietnam. They didn't have those. They certainly didn't have the troops to put down that kind of revolution on the streets. So they had to kill King, make sure he didn't bring that kind of dynamic into Washington.

Deputy director Andrew McCabe and deputy assistant director Peter Strzok initiated the Crossfire Hurricane investigation without speaking to the sources of the information. The report by Durham suggests that the FBI showed favoritism towards the 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign compared to the Trump campaign. The FBI's handling of the investigation departed from their usual approach and was based on raw and unverified intelligence. It is important to note that these events took place during James Comey's tenure as FBI director. The FBI has since implemented reforms to prevent similar missteps.

Newly released CIA and FBI files contain documents related to Martin Luther King. FBI director Edgar Hoover detested King, suspecting him of being a communist, and his spies found evidence to support that claim. The FBI also discovered King's promiscuous sexual behavior, which divided some of his followers. This included an affair with folk singer Joan Baez. King was shot dead in April 1968, weeks after the FBI report was made. The reason for the release of the King documents is unclear, as they were not included in President Trump's order to publish files related to the Kennedy assassination.

In 1943, the following directive was issued from party headquarters to all communists in The United States. It read: When certain obstructionists become too irritating, label them after suitable buildups as fascist or Nazi or anti Semitic and use the prestige of anti fascist intolerance organizations to discredit them. In the public mind, constantly associate those who oppose us with those names which already have a bad smell. The association will, after enough repetition, become fact in the public mind.

The CIA was watching Oswald before the JFK assassination. A man connected to the CIA, Gary Underhill, claimed a small CIA group was responsible and was later found unalived. The FBI received an anonymous tip prior to Oswald's death warning that he would be unalived by the same group that unalived JFK, yet no extra security was provided. A CIA memo indicates that Jack Ruby and Lee Harvey Oswald met at a nightclub weeks before JFK's assassination. New reports surfaced that Ruby said he had to unalive Oswald due to a bigger picture and concerns for his family's safety. The KGB deputy director stated Oswald was never a KGB agent. The Soviets feared the assassination would be used by the U.S. to start World War III. Documents revealed the CIA had 34 secret bases worldwide.

There's no way they would run the same playbook twice. On 04/04/1968, Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. stepped onto the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee at 06:01 PM. Authorities say a single 30-odd-six rifle shot struck him in the jaw and neck, one shot, one kill. The police also find a bundle near the crime scene containing a Remington Model 760 rifle, binoculars, and personal items tied to one James Earl Ray, an escaped convict from Missouri. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover quickly pronounced Ray to be a lone, racist, hate-filled assassin and there were no co-conspirators, no second shooter, and no larger plot. Didn't something like that happen just recently? Years later, the FBI and also the House Select Committee on Assassinations both admitted they could never conclusively match the fatal bullet to Ray's rifle. So in other words, the single most important piece of forensic proof tying Ray to the murder does not actually exist. And then there were the contradicting eyewitnesses. This is from the Washington Post: some witnesses, including then New York Times reporter Earl Caldwell, said that they saw a man moving in the thick bushes behind Jim's grill, which is near the crime scene, but in a location not where Ray was said to be. Then they say, for reasons unknown, Memphis Public Works employees cut down the bushes and destroyed a possible crime scene the very next morning. As always, when you follow the evidence or lack thereof, things just stop adding up.

In this episode of Armchair Expert, Dax Shepard interviews Sam Pollard, an Emmy-winning and Oscar-nominated editor, director, and producer. Pollard discusses his documentary *MLK/FBI*, which explores the FBI's surveillance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the motivations behind it. He explains that the FBI, particularly J. Edgar Hoover, was obsessed with preventing communism and viewed King as a potential threat to American democracy due to his rising influence in the civil rights movement. Pollard highlights how Hoover's fears were compounded by King's relationships and extramarital affairs, which the FBI sought to exploit to discredit him. The conversation also touches on the complexities of cancel culture, particularly regarding historical figures like King. Dax and Pollard discuss the potential implications of releasing FBI tapes of King, questioning whether they would be edited or manipulated. They reflect on the societal tendency to judge public figures harshly for personal flaws, suggesting that while King had his shortcomings, his contributions to civil rights were monumental. The episode emphasizes the importance of understanding historical context and the nuances of human behavior, advocating for a more forgiving perspective on the imperfections of influential leaders. Pollard's insights encourage listeners to engage critically with history and its relevance to contemporary issues.

When The Mob Financed The CIA's Secret Army

In 1948, a surge in heroin supply in America led Harry Anslinger, the federal narcotics commissioner, to discover that Lucky Luciano, head of the mafia's national crime syndicate, was involved. Luciano was found preparing a large heroin shipment for the CIA, revealing his collaboration with the agency. This partnership stemmed from the Cold War, where the CIA sought to counter Soviet influence in Europe. They initiated Operation Paperclip, recruiting Nazi scientists for covert operations, including General Reinhard Gehlen, who formed a paramilitary organization called "werewolves" to resist communism. As communism threatened Italy, the CIA expanded its operations through Operation Gladio, which involved creating fear and instability to influence elections. They funded this operation using drug money, partnering with the Mafia to smuggle heroin into the U.S. and launder profits through the Vatican Bank. Despite the success of Gladio in manipulating Italian politics, it led to state-sponsored terrorism and violence, with many innocent casualties. The CIA's involvement in drug trafficking and covert operations continued to be controversial, with claims of complicity in drug distribution in black neighborhoods. Investigations revealed a pattern of deception and manipulation by the CIA, raising questions about the true nature of the Soviet threat and the agency's accountability. The narrative suggests a complex interplay between the CIA, organized crime, and political power, culminating in significant historical events, including the assassinations of JFK and RFK.

In 1964, Martin Luther King Jr. received a threatening package from the FBI containing blackmail tapes and a letter calling him a fraud and urging him to end his life. Despite this intimidation, King continued to lead the civil rights movement, advocating for nonviolent protest against racial injustice. Following his assassination in 1968, many Americans, especially Black Americans, doubted the official narrative of a lone gunman, James Earl Ray. Investigations suggested a conspiracy, with evidence of FBI surveillance aimed at discrediting King. Declassified documents revealed the FBI's efforts to undermine King's moral authority through personal attacks. Ultimately, the FBI's actions reflected a broader pattern of racism and governmental overreach against those challenging the status quo.

The CIA and The Finders with Elizabeth Vos
Guests: Elizabeth Vos
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Whitney Webb and Elizabeth Vos discuss the Finders cult, its extensive ties to U.S. intelligence, and the implications of a cover-up that spanned decades. The tale centers on the 1987 Tallahassee arrests of two Finders affiliates, Douglas Amerman and Michael Houlihan, who were seen with six dirty, unkempt children in a blue van. Police suspected trafficking and sought interagency help; initial assessments noted sexual abuse in the children, and Florida authorities pursued neglect and abuse allegations. Within weeks, Washington, DC–based Finders were recontextualized as a “hippie commune” or “alternative lifestyle community,” and the case largely collapsed with charges dropped in March 1987. A later FBI customs report by Special Agent Ramon Martinez claimed evidence of serious criminal activity and CIA interference, alleging the CIA rendered the investigation an internal matter and kept the case secret. DOJ inquiries in 1993 were said to exist, but documents show the investigation was funneled to FBI headquarters and then to the Washington Metropolitan Police, undermining claims of neutral oversight. Vos outlines concrete CIA ties: Marion Petty, founder of the Finders, claimed his son worked for the CIA front Air America; FBI vault documents show Isabel Petty, Marion’s wife, worked for the CIA for about twenty-one years (1950–71) and was granted passports to restricted countries, with some passports later described in the DC Finders properties. Petty’s military background and early open-house experiments—learning about money, sex, and power from visitors—mirror MKUltra-era mind-control contexts. The Finders’ activities included a Ragged Mountain Ranch in Virginia, front organizations, and mention of “fronts” and “Future Enterprises” linked to CIA funding according to some documents. Sergeant John Stitcher, a Washington MPD officer, reportedly informed Martinez the CIA “stepped in” and protected the Finders; Stitcher later died, complicating corroboration. The 1993 inquiry’s vault documents contradict officials who denied direct CIA interference, noting Isabel Petty’s CIA role and passport connections. Martinez’s corroborated observations include a “documents room” with communications across locations, files labeled “operations,” and references to obtaining children, including potential purchases from Hong Kong via contacts in the Chinese embassy. He also described a room for “indoctrination,” mind-control hints, and photographs of ritual abuse and goat disembowelment, with Finders members in white robes. Photos of nude children and ethnic-range clothing suggested additional, undisclosed children beyond Tallahassee. The evidence allegedly disappeared or was returned soon after, leaving Martinez’s testimony as a crucial, but isolated, thread. The discussion also contrasts Finders coverage with Dutroux and Epstein, noting media sensationalism around ritual abuse and the difficulty of obtaining victims’ public testimony. The international scope—China, Hong Kong, Panama—alongside overt CIA involvement, fuels questions about how a government-linked network could operate with limited accountability. Vos emphasizes ongoing independent reporting as essential to confronting potential structural cover-ups.
