Call me nutty, but I wonder if MLK would have been assassinated if this guy hadn't been an informant? (Because anyone without their head in the sands knows it wasn't just JER.)

Hey Karynthia,

It's late night in Melbourne and my brain's a bit mush after some vodka...can you confirm what you mean? That while he was snitching on MLK to the Feds, he was also snitching on the Feds to MLK?

I find it very interesting that for a paid informant he managed to create much of the positive myth surrounding MLK.

I never thought about it that way. Thanks for the insight.
