If Xi-Jinping Reminded that Martin Luther King Called U.S.”Greatest Purveyor of Violence in World?”

If, during the three day Martin Luther King birthday holiday, a world attention getting source, for example, a high enough profiled Chinese government official, pointed out that the government of the United States of America was condemned as the most violent in the world by America’s own idol, this writer believes it would be a sensation, and a most difficult moment for the U.S. government and America’s wars supporting mainstream media which has for 57 years totally suppressed all mention of King’s condemnation of his government’s wars to protect predatory investments.

What If the African-American Community Was Made Aware of Criminal Mainstream Media News&Entertainment Conglomerates’ 57 Year Blackout of King’s Condemnation of US Wars by an International Voice Too Prestigious for CIA-overseen Western Media to Be Able to Suppress Reporting?

(How strange it is that the African American community has either openly or indifferently been supportive of white racist regime change, imperialist bombings, invasions and bloody occupations in small nations of people whose skin color is of various hues even though MLK condemned those wars as 

“atrocity wars and covert violence on three continents since 1945 to maintain unjust predatory investments in countries overseas,” – )

King’s 1967 New York sermon, ‘Beyond Vietnam – a Time to Break Silence’ made bold headlines in newspapers across the world: 

KING CALLS U.S.”GREATEST PURVEYOR of VIOLENCE in WORLD”

In his sermon, which was vilified in the U.S. press, King did not speak to his government, but to all Americans, and agonised over his not having spoken up sooner.

So what would Rev. King say to or about Americans since his death as they have continued bringing massive death and destruction to so many more small countries and more specifically what would he have said about the recent ongoing wars on the innocent citizens and their children in Yemen, Syria, Libya, Somalia, Iraq and Afghanistan?

Martin Luther King had cried out“A time comes when silence is betrayal. And that time has come for us in relation to Vietnam.” 

And Now Has?   “that time when silence is betrayal come for Americans in relation”    to Gaza and Palestinians?

Israel is using an awesome quantity of U.S. provided weaponry in a genocidal wiping out of entire cites of Palestinians after generations long murderously holding Palestinians captive under illegal UN denounced military occupation.

One can only imagine the bitterly stern outcry King would have made about the difficult to stomach horrific and eye rebounding obvious genocide of now nearly 24,000 murdered encircled and blockaded captive illegally military occupied Palestinians, 70% of whom are women and children? There are another 3,000 buried under the ruble of their homes and other buildings that the American warplanes, bombs and shells that Israel has used to level the cities of Gaza.

However, there is no need for us to imagine what King thought and publicly stated during the last year of his life about the inhumanly unfair situation of Palestinians after Isreal’s Six-Day War against Egypt, Syria, and Jordan, which killed about 800 Israelis and around 18,000 Arabs in two weeks. gaining territory the entirety of Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip, West Bank and the Sinai peninsula, four times the amount of land it had before.

On June 18, 1967,  On ABC Sunday’s TV “Issues and Answers”, King said,

“I think for the ultimate peace and security of the situation it will probably be necessary for Israel to give up this conquered territory because to hold on to it will only exacerbate the tensions and deepen the bitterness of the Arabs.”

King’s powerful insight reveals his belief in what was and still is key to achieving peace in the Middle East.

Post Script

People that were fortunate enough to catch the intentionally vastly unreported news that the Memphis Circuit Court of Tennessee had officially found that King was “assassinated as a result of a conspiracy that included governmental agencies,” have been aware that King’s condemnation of imperialist war madness and the capitalist genocidal insanity of putting profit above humanity cost him his life – and cost America the loss of his much ‘too effective’ leadership.[1] In 1967, the huge investments in the Vietnam War were threatened by the second March on Washington King was planning to connect poverty at home with the huge expenditures of human and financial resources on the genocidal war in Vietnam – for which King held all Americans, including himself, responsible. But King was shot dead one year to the day after his blistering sermon in New York, ‘Beyond Vietnam – a Time to Break Silence.’ (Four years after his ‘I have a Dream’ speech at the first and only March on Washington.)

If some salient voice of world renown could point out to the criminal media mesmerised world that the government of the United States of America was condemned as the most violent in the world by America’s own idol, civil rights leader Martin Luther King, this writer believes it would be a sensation, and a most difficult moment for the U.S. government and America’s wars supporting mainstream media – which has for 57 years totally suppressed all mention of King’s condemnation of his government’s wars to protect predatory investments. Ending or a least reducing CIA-overseen Western media[2] outlets would contribute immensely to the world (and the U.S.) being released from the awful life taking grip of wars promoting U.S. grand corporate private capitalism.

End Notes

1. The jury that heard the case took only one hour of deliberations to reach a unanimous verdict: that King was assassinated as a result of a conspiracy. They found that “governmental agencies” were among the conspirators. Coretta Scott King said after the verdict: “There is abundant evidence of a major, high-level conspiracy in the assassination of my husband.” The jury found that the mafia and various government agencies “were deeply involved in the assassination. … Mr. Ray was set up to take the blame.
