Mae Brussell's research about the life and death of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
by Virginia McCullough © 2005

The great conspiracy researcher Mae Brussell often spoke about the conspiracy to assassinate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on her radio shows. For 17 years she broadcast from radio stations in Carmel and Pacific Grove, California. In March 1998, Mae Brussell received a death threat that she took far more seriously then those she had received in the past and she stopped broadcasting her weekly show. Shortly thereafter she was diagnosed with stomach cancer. On October 3, 1988 the amazing voice of Mae Brussell was silenced forever.

In the sixteen years since her death countless revelations concerning the assassination of the great civil rights leader have only served to substantiate the allegation that a conspiracy killed Dr. King.

In 1988, Dr. William Pepper, an attorney in England and in the United States, began representing James Earl Ray who had pled guilty to the assassination of King. For ten years Pepper tried to obtain a new trial for Ray who contended he was, in effect, coerced to plead guilty. The King family backed this effort which ultimately failed. In 1998, Ray died of liver failure.

On April 1, 1998, Pepper wrote a book about what he gleaned from representing Ray and investigating the case. He described a plot to kill King by a local mob operative, the Memphis police and military intelligence. This book was entitled Orders to Kill: The Truth behind the Murder of Martin Luther King, Jr.

Dr. Pepper approached King's widow, Coretta Scott King, about bringing a civil suit. She agreed. In 1998, Pepper filed a civil suit on her behalf in circuit court in Tennessee against unnamed conspirators and Loyd Jowers, whose restaurant Pepper alleged was used as a staging scene for the assassination.

In December 1999, a civil jury in Memphis , Tennessee returned a verdict that King was "murdered by an intricate plot that included government agencies". The facts found by that jury were the topic of an article by James W. Douglass published on March 15, 2000 in The Christian Century Magazine (pps. 308-313). That article is online. Click.

In January 2003, in his book Act of State. The Murder of Martin Luther King, Pepper elucidated the facts which came out in the trial and further explored all the avenues of research which he had worked on since April 4, 1968, the day King was assassinated. Click to read a transcript of a speech by Pepper about his work.

Mae Brussell's work laid some of the groundwork. Following are excerpts of Brussell's work on the King Assassination. Mae's research delved into King's life, the steps the U.S. government took against him and the Black race, including such matters as the King Alfred Plan murders in Contra Costa County, California and technical aspects of assassinations. These notes were excerpted from World Watcher's International bibliography sheets from November 3, 1986, the sheets for Tape #778 through June 13, 1988, Tape #862, one of Mae Brussell's last tapes. Read patiently. The gems of knowledge are within the notes, and the connections must be drawn by the reader

Continuation of repeated lies about the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Sen. Robert Kennedy and Rev. Martin Luther King, is going to destroy this country. When you fall victim to their lies, truth loses all meaning.

Frederick Tupper Saussy concluded that the people behind framing James Earl Ray and keeping the truth from coming out are involved in a form of Satanism. He calls this, "The politics of witchcraft".

The murders of Pres. John F. Kennedy, Sen. Robert Kennedy, and Rev. Martin Luther King were planned, covered up by the same people. I have studied their Nazi connections. Were these the Satanic Nazi links?

(By Mae Brussell:) If you celebrate this holiday and believe King's assassin was James Earl Ray, you are under their spell. If you don't want to know who killed Rev. Martin Luther King and don't care, then why celebrate his birthday?

We know King was against the war in Viet man, a war extremely profitable to interests that employed off-duty CIA men, and 30% of the U.S. soldiers who are Black.

King's death and Ray's imprisonment have taught us that covert action governments, ruling in darkness, are not interested in the truth. Soon after the death of JFK, the CIA opened a domestic operations office one block from the White House. the cover name was "U.S. Army Element, Joint Planning Activity, Joint Operations Group" at 1750 Pennsylvania Avenue, one block from Lyndon Johnson's White House.

Stanford University inaugurated the newly expanded Martin Luther King Institute on January 13, 2006. The Institute will preserve and protect the papers of the influential civil rights and religious leader.

The Institute was created in September 2005 but is being celebrated this month to coincide with the national holiday for the leader. It aims to build an enduring link between the King legacy and Stanford.

The ceremony - including awards to former Secretary of State George Shultz and folk singer Guy Carawan, who helped popularize "We Shall Overcome" as an anthem of the civil rights movement was free and open to the public. It kicked off two weeks of free King-related programs in the Bay Area.

Among them: The Freedom Train will carry riders from San Jose to San Francisco in time for a noon rally at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. Rather than the traditional march, participants will be bused to the rally from the Ferry Building, Yerba Buena Gardens and the Caltrain station at Fourth and Townsend streets.

Formerly known as the King Papers Project, the Institute has published five volumes of a planned 14-volume edition of the sermons, speeches and other writings of King, an internationally known Nobel Prize-winning advocate of nonviolent strategies for social change. The Papers Project was established on campus 20 years ago at the behest of Coretta Scott King to publish her late husband's papers.

"The Institute makes sure that the work we're doing to preserve the King legacy -- all of the materials related to King and the civil rights movement -- goes on in perpetuity," said its founder Clayborne Carson.

"The Institute has raised $4 million of a projected $12 million endowment to ensure that the documents and intellectual legacy of King are permanently protected," said Carson. Former NFL Hall of Famer Ronnie Lott has pledged $1 million toward this endowment.

Stanford provides about one-third of the base support for the Institute. The rest must be raised externally.

The fifth volume of the series, titled "Threshold of a New Decade, January 1959 -- December 1960," was released last year. It documented King's 1959 trip to India and his involvement in the sit-in protests and presidential election of 1960.

Soon the Institute will publish the sixth volume, focusing on papers that were the basis of King's religious sermons when he was a minister at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama. These boxes were found by Carson in boxes in the basement of Coretta Scott King's Atlanta home.

"I spent many hours going through dusty boxes," said Carson. "These documents, never before available, are part of his preaching files. When he was preparing a sermon, he would check his files for past sermons and from notes he had collected. It really opens up new windows into his early days as a preacher."

Sharing in the January 13, 2006 ceremony was Lawrence Bobo, director of Stanford's Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity, who came to the Stanford last year from Harvard.

The program addressed issues that affect African-Americans locally and in the United States, focusing on special topics such as the impact of hip-hop, as well as social problems such as drugs, gangs, HIV/AIDS and involvement in the criminal justice system, " said Bobo.

"The circumstances of African-Americans have changed enormously since King's time. The middle class is much larger and much more influential than ever before," he said. "But there remains a segment of the black population that is deeply mired in circumstances of poverty and extreme disadvantage that present a great challenge, not just for the black community, but for society as a whole."

"We have made enormous strides against racism in this country, but there are serious problems of prejudice and discrimination that we as a society, institutionally and culturally, have yet to fully rise to overcome," said Bobo.

THE PAPERS PROJECT GROWS UP

Stanford Magazine - The Farm Report

What started with a 10 p.m phone call in January 1985 this month becomes an endowed entity on campus -- the Martin Luther King, Jr., Research and Education Institute.

Coretta Scott King made that long-ago call of history professor Clayborne Carson, asking if he would consider heading up the Martin Luther King, Jr., Papers Project. Carson agreed, and to date has edited and published five of an anticipated 14 volumes of the civil rights leader's work. In the intervening years, he also has enlisted under-graduates in research projects, set up summer internships, done professional development for teachers and established www.kingpapers.org (which he calls "the most popular civil rights website"). "When you add all that tougher, it is an institute, and the new name reflects what we've been doing for some time," Carson says. "The reason for forming the institute is to broaden our mission from just doing King papers."

As an affiliate of the Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity, the King institute will fill niche between the King Center in Atlanta and the King memorial planned for the Mall in Washington, D.C. "In terms of who is actually going to be educating the public about the meaning of King's legacy that has to be something like [the institute]," Carson says.

He is seeking an endowment of $12 million, and already has found two $1 million donors in football great Ronnie Lott's nonprofit All Stars Helping Kids Foundation and the Mumford Family-Agape Foundation. "Lott was the first to step forward and say, "I understand that there should be an educational research institute devoted to keeping that legacy alive for future generations," says Carson.

The institute launches on January 21 with "Celebrating South African Freedom: A Symposium on the International Campaign to End Apartheid."
