Scheer Intelligence: The FBI’s Crusade Against MLK Was Darker Than You Think
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 11 hours ago
“You are done. There is only one way out for you. You better take it before your filthy, abnormal fraudulent self is bared to the nation.” That’s the shocking ending to the infamous letter Civil Rights hero Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. received in 1964 essentially urging him to commit suicide. The letter and accompanying package containing blackmail were sent by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, as King quickly caught on. While the full, unredacted letter was finally published by the New York Times in 2014, the audio recordings of an extensive FBI wiretapping operation targeting...

Pelosi Declares That The 'Enemy Is Within The House of Representatives' In Call For More Security
Jonathan Turley, Peace and Prosperity - 13 hours ago
[image: undefined] House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been attacking Republicans members as traitors in a continuation of the reckless rhetoric from the last four years on both sides. Despite a desire for greater unity from voters, Pelosi has sought to capitalize on rather than close those divisions while other Democrats are calling for blacklists and retaliatory measures. The Speaker has now doubled down on these attacks by claiming that the need to increase security is due in no small degree to the “enemy within” in reference to the Republican ranks. As with her prior conduct as Speak...

Finian Cunningham, Peace and Prosperity - 13 hours ago
[image: undefined] The day after opposition figure Alexei Navalny was arrested in Moscow last week on his return from a provocative and prolonged decampment in Germany, Western media fell over themselves to condemn his detention.

One of the top RFE articles openly called for Russian people to take to the streets to demand the release of the activist.
