J. Edgar Hoover, the head of the FBI who worked relentlessly to undermine Martin Luther King and others in the civil rights movement in the 1960s, had black ancestors whose existence he desperately tried to keep secret, according to a new book.

Millie McGhee, the author of Secrets Uncovered, J Edgar Hoover - Passing For White?, is an African-American who says she was told as a little girl in McComb, Mississippi, of her family's links with Hoover.

She writes in the book that her grandfather told her of this "very powerful" man in Washington who was related to the family but did not want the links to be known and passed himself off as white.

Ms McGhee, a former teacher in Los Angeles, explains that she contacted a genealogist in Salt Lake City, Utah, for help in tracing her family's history back 200 years.

She says her research shows that Hoover's grandfather and great-grandfather lived in a segregated black area of Washington and were classified in a census as "colored".

Hoover, who was born in 1895 and died while still head of the FBI in 1972, was apparently anxious that no one should know of his origins.

According to Ms McGhee, relatives were warned of dire consequences if they spoke publicly of his background. As a little girl she believed that they would be killed if they mentioned the secret.

"Is this man so ashamed of his race that he would spend his whole life passing for white?" she asks. "How has our race offended him?"

She believes that his obsession with King and other black civil- rights leaders stemmed in part from his repressed anger about his secret life.

She said this week that members of the Hoover family who had contacted her had not been angry about the disclosures, but that her own family were unhappy with her decision to go public. "They're very upset. I never wanted to be related to him," she said. "I never even liked him."

Hoover came from a family that had always worked in government service in Washington. He entered the Justice Department after graduating in law, became acting director of the FBI in 1929 and was confirmed as director shortly afterwards.

He was associated throughout his career with a fierce paranoia about the left and the civil-rights movement, and an obsession with pursuing what were seen to be enemies of the United States. A powerful figure during his life, he became the subject of much mockery after his death when it was claimed that he had enjoyed cross-dressing.

Hoover's wire-tapping and hidden surveillance practices took the FBI's involvement in the private lives of US citizens to new levels.

After his death it was accepted that no FBI director should ever have such power again.

Ms McGhee says that the book is not an expose of Hoover's dishonesty, but more of a cross between "Roots and Danielle Steel", in that it catalogues her search to discover the family's secrets.

Yes...I actually have the book - this is going to be fun reading on the train...

Just found a blog dedicated to this topic - Native Son

MARTIN LUTHER KING - THE FATAL SHOT CAME FROM A DIFFERENT DIRECTION

This image was sent to me by my bud, Travis Kelly! In his own words,:"And you can get that image and others on T-shirts, mousepads and other stuff at my CafePress site (cheap!)":

In my opinion, Travis is underselling his merchandise! Let's go to it, folks! Show some love!

Now, just a few short words from me before I get to the topic of my posting. Everyone knows about the Mountaintop speech; we all know that he wasn't faithful to Coretta; and we all know that he was shot on the balcony of the Lorraine Hotel.

But did you know that:

James Earl Ray was a patsy for the real murderers, simply because the shot was IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE?

The Director of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover, was a hypocritical cross-dressing, self-hating queer (and something else that he kept hidden from America...read on) who loathed MLK, Jr., possibly because King was granted the one accolade he would NEVER be able to obtain; the Nobel Peace Prize? Though, now that Albert "Global Warming? Oh...I just meant my newly-fattened pockets!" Gore has been awarded such for his fraudulent promotion of a phenomenon that HAS NO BASIS IN REALITY, the award's prestige has been cheapened in my eyes.

The Memphis police department, on that day, removed ALL BLACK OFFICERS from patrol, reassigning them to tours and duties that would take them far away from the scene of the crime?

Well, a lot of that information is included below.

Now, I'm sure that some of you who may come across this page might be scratching their craniums, "What the hey - I thought this was a 9/11 conspiracy page! Why do I have to read about Martin Luther King, Jr.? I'm not even Black, or even remotely related to anyone who would care? In fact, I'm the Grand Dragon of the KKK! I just wanna read about dumb space lasers melting the buildings, so I can laugh at you idiots! The Gubbermint has benn berry good to me!"

Well...here we go...the lies of Pearl Harbor begat Operation Paperclip, which begat the Red Scare, which begat the Cuban Missile Crisis, which begat the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, which begat the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., which begat the assassination of Robert Francis Kennedy, which begat the Gulf of Tonkin, which begat the Vietnam War, which begat the Six-Day War, which begat the OPEC crisis, which begat the Iranian hostage crisis, which begat the Iran-Contra/crack scandal, which begat the 1987 stock market crash, which begat the 1993 WTC bombing, which begat the Waco siege, which begat the Oklahoma City Murrah Building bombing, which begat the Ruby Ridge siege, which begat...the myriad and unexplained events of September 11th, 2001.

In other words...what you did not care about in the past has transmogrified to an unimaginable state of being at the present time.

One last bit: "Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it."

Before you check out the information from MR's MLK section, here's the rest of Reverend Jeremiah Wright's speech...the part you DIDN'T hear:

MARTIN LUTHER KING - THE FATAL SHOT CAME FROM A DIFFERENT DIRECTION

This information was originally reproduced from Michael Rivero's What Really Happened news/errata blog - please give it a visit if you haven't done so - I promise you it's also good for real belly laughs once in a while! But buy some stuff from him, too!

Okay...I promised to remove Michael Rivero's posting and come up with one of my own...so here goes (this is the only posting that WRH has ever promoted, and that came with a snarky comment; IIRC, the comment was, "comments on my comments!" Ah, such is life...):

I listen to WBAI (99.5 FM) whenever I can. There are a number of shows that I prefer over the others - I'm an on-and-off listener of NiteShift, The Expert Witness, Off The Hook, Building Bridges, The Personal Computer Show, Radio GBE/The Global Beat Experience, Cat Radio Cafe, Any Saturday with David Rothenberg, Hour Of The Wolf, Back Of The Book, Citizen K (when it was on, as well as Gary Null's show and Robert Knight's program, as well), On The Count, Al Lewis Lives, Radio Free Eireann, Everything Old Is New Again, Free Time For Equal Thought, As I Please, Through The Opera Glass, Here Of A Sunday Morning, Counterspin, Taking Aim, The Christmas Coup Comedy Players, Weaponry, Under The Learning Tree, Burn Baby Burn/Clappers, Mass Backwards, All Mixed Up, The Liquid Sound Lounge and Morning Dew.

But the show that most concerns this posting is The Caldwell Chronicle, featuring Earl Caldwell.

Earl Caldwell is a world-renowned journalist who has worked for The New York Times, the New York Daily News and The Amsterdam News. He was also the only reporter on the scene when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated. At the time, the murder was blamed upon James Earl Ray.

It has since been proven that James Earl Ray was a patsy - William Pepper had won a case for the King estate proving that his assassination was the result of a conspiracy, including one Loyd Jowers, the owner of Jim's Grill, where it was purported that the plans for the act took place.

Simply put: the assassination COULD NOT HAVE TAKEN PLACE AS THE OFFICIAL NARRATIVE STATES.

I'll refer you to Michael Rivero's page for the pictures that you'll need to map out the scenario in your head...but just remark upon the extraordinary lengths that were undertaken to ensure that the story could not be challenged:

The bushes where some witnesses saw smoke were CUT DOWN THE NEXT MORNING;
The branches of the tree that originally obfuscated the view between the boarding house bathroom window and the balcony of the Lorraine Motel were removed;
All of the Black officers of the Memphis Police Department were ordered to report away from the scene of the crime;
Charles Stephens was purported to be a witness to James Earl Ray's shooting of King; however, his wife Grace countered his eyewitness statement with the information that Charles was thirteen sheets to the wind! The authorities sided with Charles, and had Grace committed to a mental institution (I believe that she has sought asylum out of the United States);
As in the John Fitzgerald Kennedy assassination, there were doubles of James Earl Ray to dissuade unforeseen elements from derailing the action;
Most importantly...THE ANGLE OF THE PURPORTED SHOT WAS IMPOSSIBLE, MUCH LESS THE ACTUAL FEASIBILITY OF THE SHOT.

In short...what we were told by the government was a GODDAMN LIE.

And to top it all off...it has come to light that the mighty J. Edgar Hoover was born to a Black family!

How bloody crazy is THAT?!?

Ding! Fries are done.


Additional information on the assassination of Martin Luther King and evidence of a cover-up can be found HERE - just so you are all aware, Mike Rivero doesn't promote this blog. That's okay - I'm not doing this for fame; I'm doing this because someone needs to do the right thing. He does a terrific job in illustrating the absolute impossibility of the "official narrative", so read on, dear readers.

I don't know...would you call J. Edgar Hoover a "self-hating nigger"?

A good resource for some of the "factoids" mentioned therein is Paradox Press' Big Book Of Conspiracies, written by Doug Moench and illustrated by some of the best cartoonists illustrating sequential fiction.
