MLK wiretapped by the FEDS

In an hopeless quest to prove that late Civil Right Leader Martin Luther King Jr. was a communist (bogus charge), The Federal Bureau released a 10,000 page memo to the public from the sixties confirming that they always had constant surveillance on Dr. King and even broke into his house and every hotels he was in to install some bugs. His every moves and conversations were recorded since the famous march on Washington, DC in 1963 and the charges end up being assumptions. The government assumed because he had friends with ties to the Communist Party that he was a member too. However the harassment wouldn't stop here, they tried to find any dirt on him and use it to tarnish his public image.
In some recordings, the Feds were surprised to record some of his sexual encounters in hotels and drunken parties, there was no evidence he was a communist. After his historical speech "I Have A Dream" the Government, according to the memo, qualified King as a very dangerous man. The investigation became a personal vendetta, FBI Director Edgar Hoover was personally following the case and then it got nasty. The Bureau was sending insults and threats to Dr. King trying to force him to commit suicide. In one note you could read "King, there is only one thing left for you to do," the letter concluded. "You know what it is ... You better take it before your filthy, abnormal fraudulent self is bared to the nation." and another had "You are a colossal fraud and an evil, vicious one at that." The letter went on to say, "The American public ... will know you for what you are -- an evil, abnormal beast," and "Satan could not do more."

The release of those documents have started a lot of conspiracy theories like The Government was behind his assassination. One thing we do know from this is despite the fact that he was watched 24/7 they failed to protect an American hero and failed to depict him as an embarrassment to the Nation.
We hope Obama is in good hands and that nothing will happen to him.
