Just starting "An Act of State" by William F. Pepper

About the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

From the inside cover blurb:

"....In 1999, Loyd Jowers and co-conspirators wre brought to trial in a wrongful death civil action suit on behalf of the King famiy. Seventy witnesses set out the details of a conspiracy in a plot to murder King that involved J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI, Richard Helms and the CIA, the military, the local Memphis police, and organized crime figures from New Orleans and Memphis. The evidence was unimpeachable. The jury took an hour to find for the King family. But the silence following these shocking revelations was deafening. Like the pattern during all the investigations of the assassination throughout the years, no major media outlet would cover the story. It was effectively buried."

Pepper is an international human rights lawyer.

1. new edition
came out in January. It has an afterword by Pepper and possibily a list of questions still outstanding. I have started to download the actual trial documents from the King website. I donated a copy of the latest edition to the local public library.
Its history that should penetrate the propaganda.

re: King trial
In testimony delivered on November 30, 1999 during the trial, "King Family v. Loyd Jowers and Other Unknown Co-conspirators" (aka The Martin Luther King Assassination Conspiracy Trial), co-publisher of Covert Action Quarterly, William Schaap reveals the history of US Government Approved propaganda and disinformation beginning in WWI, accelerating in WWII, going into full-swing during the Cold War.

This is original trial footage never before available to the public, now available to the public courtesy of the plaintiff's lawyer, Dr. William F. Pepper. A history of the trial in book form will soon be available in paperback form.

Schaap's testimony is in 8 parts;
