The Beast as Saint: The Truth About Martin Luther King by Kevin Alfred Strom

Originally produced in 1994 as a National Alliance radio broadcast and mass

distribution booklet.

WHEN THE COMMUNISTS TOOK OVER a country, one of the first things that they did was
to confiscate all the privately-held weapons, to deny the people the physical
ability to resist tyranny. But even more insidious than the theft of the people's
weapons was the theft of their history. Official Communist "historians" rewrote
history to fit the current party line. In many countries, revered national heroes
were excised from the history books, or their real deeds were distorted to fit
Communist ideology, and Communist killers and criminals were converted into
official "saints." Holidays were declared in honor of the beasts who murdered
countless nations. Did you know that much the same process has occurred right here
in America?

Every January, the media go into a kind of almost spastic frenzy of adulation for
the so-called "Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr." King has even had a
national holiday declared in his honor, an honor accorded to no other American, not
Washington, not Jefferson, not Lincoln. (Washington and Lincoln no longer have
holidays — they share the generic-sounding "President's Day.") A federal judge has
sealed the FBI files on King until the year 2027. What are they hiding? Let's take
a look at this modern-day plastic god.

Born in 1929, King was the son of a Black preacher known at the time only as "Daddy
King." "Daddy King" named his son Michael. In 1935, "Daddy King" had an inspiration
to name himself after the Protestant reformer Martin Luther. He declared to his
congregation that henceforth they were to refer to him as "Martin Luther King" and
to his son as "Martin Luther King, Jr." None of this name changing was ever
legalized in court. "Daddy" King's son's real name is to this day Michael King.

King's Brazen Cheating

We read in Michael Hoffman's Holiday for a Cheater:

"The first public sermon that King ever gave, in 1947 at the Ebenezer Baptist
Church, was plagiarized from a homily by Protestant clergyman Harry Emerson Fosdick
entitled "Life is What You Make It," according to the testimony of King's best
friend of that time, Reverend Larry H. Williams. The first book that King wrote,
Stride Toward Freedom, was plagiarized from numerous sources, all unattributed,
according to documentation recently assembled by sympathetic King scholars Keith D.
Miller, Ira G. Zepp, Jr., and David J. Garrow. And no less an authoritative source
than the four senior editors of The Papers of Martin Luther King, Jr. (an official
publication of the Martin Luther King Center for Nonviolent Social Change, Inc.,
whose staff includes King's widow Coretta), stated of King's writings at both
Boston University and Crozer Theological Seminary: "Judged retroactively by the
standards of academic scholarship, [his writings] are tragically flawed by numerous
instances of plagiarism.... Appropriated passages are particularly evident in his
writings in his major field of graduate study, systematic theology." King's essay,
"The Place of Reason and Experience in Finding God," written at Crozer, pirated
passages from the work of theologian Edgar S. Brightman, author of The Finding of
God. Another of King's theses, "Contemporary Continental Theology," written shortly
after he entered Boston University, was largely stolen from a book by Walter
Marshall Horton. King's doctoral dissertation, "A Comparison of the Conceptions of
God in the Thinking of Paul Tillich and Harry Nelson Wieman," for which he was
awarded a PhD in theology, contains more than fifty complete sentences plagiarized
from the PhD dissertation of Dr. Jack Boozer, "The Place of Reason in Paul
Tillich's Concept of God."
"According to The Martin Luther King Papers, in King's dissertation "only 49 per
cent. of sentences in the section on Tillich contain five or more words that were
King's own...."!

In The Journal of American History, June 1991, page 87, David J. Garrow, a leftist
academic who is sympathetic to King, says that King's wife, Coretta Scott King, who
also served as his secretary, was an accomplice in his repeated cheating. Reading
Garrow's article, one is led to the inescapable conclusion that King cheated
because he had chosen for himself a political role in which a PhD would be useful,
and, lacking the intellectual ability to obtain the title fairly, went after it by
any means necessary. Why, then, one might ask, did the professors at Crozer
Theological Seminary and Boston University grant him passing grades and a PhD?
Garrow states on page 89: "King's academic compositions, especially at Boston
University, were almost without exception little more than summary descriptions...
and comparisons of other's writings. Nonetheless, the papers almost always received
desirable letter grades, strongly suggesting that King's professors did not expect
more...."

The editors of The Martin Luther King Jr. Papers state that "...the failure of
King's teachers to notice his pattern of textual appropriation is somewhat
remarkable...."

But researcher Michael Hoffman tells us "...actually the malfeasance of the

professors is not at all remarkable. King was politically correct, he was Black,
and he had ambitions. The leftist [professors were] happy to award a doctorate to
such a candidate no matter how much fraud was involved. Nor is it any wonder that
it has taken forty years for the truth about King's record of nearly constant
intellectual piracy to be made public."

Supposed scholars, who in reality shared King's vision of a racially mixed and
Marxist America, purposely covered up his cheating for decades. The cover-up still
continues. From the New York Times of October 11, 1991, page 15, we learn that on
October 10th of that year, a committee of researchers at Boston University admitted
that, "There is no question but that Dr. King plagiarized in the dissertation."
However, despite its finding, the committee said that "No thought should be given
to the revocation of Dr. King's doctoral degree," an action the panel said "would
serve no purpose."

No purpose, indeed! Justice demands that, in light of his willful fraud as a

student, the titles "reverend" and "doctor" should be removed from King's name.

Communist Beliefs and Connections

Well friends, he is not a legitimate reverend, he is not a bona fide PhD, and his
name isn't really "Martin Luther King, Jr." What's left? Just a sexual degenerate,
an America-hating Communist, and a criminal betrayer of even the interests of his
own people.

On Labor Day, 1957, a special meeting was attended by Martin Luther King and four
others at a strange institution called the Highlander Folk School in Monteagle,
Tennessee. The Highlander Folk School was a Communist front, having been founded by
Myles Horton (Communist Party organizer for Tennessee) and Don West (Communist
Party organizer for North Carolina). The leaders of this meeting with King were the
aforementioned Horton and West, along with Abner Berry and James Dumbrowski, all
open and acknowledged members of the Communist Party, USA. The agenda of the
meeting was a plan to tour the Southern states to initiate demonstrations and
riots.

From 1955 to 1960, Martin Luther King's associate, advisor, and personal secretary
was one Bayard Rustin. In 1936 Rustin joined the Young Communist League at New York
City College. Convicted of draft-dodging, he went to prison for two years in 1944.
On January 23, 1953 the Los Angeles Times reported his conviction and sentencing to
jail for 60 days for lewd vagrancy and homosexual perversion. Rustin attended the
16th Convention of the Communist Party, USA in February, 1957. One month later, he
and King founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, or SCLC for short.
The president of the SCLC was Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The vice-president of the
SCLC was the Reverend Fred Shuttlesworth, who was also the president of an
identified Communist front known as the Southern Conference Educational Fund, an
organization whose field director, a Mr. Carl Braden, was simultaneously a national
sponsor of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee, of which you may have heard. The
program director of the SCLC was the Reverend Andrew Young, in more recent years
Jimmy Carter's ambassador to the UN and mayor of Atlanta. Young, by the way, was
trained at the Highlander Folk School, previously mentioned.

Soon after returning from a trip to Moscow in 1958, Rustin organized the first of
King's famous marches on Washington. The official organ of the Communist Party, The
Worker, openly declared the march to be a Communist project. Although he left
King's employ as secretary in 1961, Rustin was called upon by King to be second in
command of the much larger march on Washington which took place on August 28, 1964.

Bayard Rustin's replacement in 1961 as secretary and advisor to King was Jack
O'Dell, also known as Hunter Pitts O'Dell. According to official records, in 1962
Jack O'Dell was a member of the National Committee of the Communist Party, USA. He
had been listed as a Communist Party member as early as 1956. O'Dell was also given
the job of acting executive director for SCLC activities for the entire Southeast,
according to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat of October 26, 1962. At that time, there
were still some patriots in the press corps, and word of O'Dell's party membership
became known.

What did King do? Shortly after the negative news reports, King fired O'Dell with
much fanfare. And he then, without the fanfare, immediately hired him again as
director of the New York office of the SCLC, as confirmed by the Richmond News-
Leader of September 27, 1963.

In 1963 a Black man from Monroe, North Carolina named Robert Williams made a trip
to Beijing, China. Exactly 20 days before King's 1964 march on Washington, Williams
successfully urged Mao Tse-Tung to speak out on behalf of King's movement. Mr.
Williams was also around this time maintaining his primary residence in Cuba, from
which he made regular broadcasts to the southern United States, three times a week,
from high-power AM transmitters in Havana under the title "Radio Free Dixie." In
these broadcasts, he urged violent attacks by Blacks against White Americans.

During this period, Williams wrote a book entitled Negroes With Guns. The writer of
the foreword for this book? None other than "Martin Luther King, Jr." It is also
interesting to note that the editors and publishers of this book were to a man all
supporters of the infamous Fair Play for Cuba Committee.

According to King's biographer and sympathizer David J. Garrow, "King privately

described himself as a Marxist." In his 1981 book, The FBI and Martin Luther King,
Jr., Garrow quotes King as saying in SCLC staff meetings, "...we have moved into a
new era, which must be an era of revolution.... The whole structure of American
life must be changed.... We are engaged in the class struggle."

Jewish Communist Stanley Levison can best be described as King's behind-the-scenes

"handler." Levison, who had for years been in charge of the secret funnelling of
Soviet funds to the Communist Party, USA, was King's mentor and was actually the
brains behind many of King's more successful ploys. It was Levison who edited
King's book, Stride Toward Freedom. It was Levison who arranged for a publisher.
Levison even prepared King's income tax returns! It was Levison who really
controlled the fund-raising and agitation activities of the SCLC. Levison wrote
many of King's speeches. King described Levison as one of his "closest friends."

FBI: King Bought Sex With SCLC Money

The Federal Bureau of Investigation had for many years been aware of Stanley
Levison's Communist activities. It was Levison's close association with King that
brought about the initial FBI interest in King.

Lest you be tempted to believe the controlled media's lie about "racists" in the
FBI being out to "get" King, you should be aware that the man most responsible for
the FBI's probe of King was Assistant Director William C. Sullivan. Sullivan
describes himself as a liberal, and says that initially "I was one hundred per
cent. for King...because I saw him as an effective and badly needed leader for the
Black people in their desire for civil rights." The probe of King not only
confirmed their suspicions about King's Communist beliefs and associations, but it
also revealed King to be a despicable hypocrite, an immoral degenerate, and a
worthless charlatan.

According to Assistant Director Sullivan, who had direct access to the surveillance
files on King which are denied the American people, King had embezzled or
misapplied substantial amounts of money contributed to the "civil rights" movement.
King used SCLC funds to pay for liquor, and numerous prostitutes both Black and
White, who were brought to his hotel rooms, often two at a time, for drunken sex
parties which sometimes lasted for several days. These types of activities were the
norm for King's speaking and organizing tours.

In fact, an outfit called the "National Civil Rights Museum" in Memphis, Tennessee,
which is putting on display the two bedrooms from the Lorraine Motel where King
stayed the night before he was shot, has declined to depict in any way the
occupants of those rooms. That—according to exhibit designer Gerard Eisterhold—
would be "close to blasphemy." The reason? "Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr." spent his
last night on Earth having sexual intercourse with two women at the motel and
physically beating and abusing a third.

Sullivan also stated that King had alienated the affections of numerous married
women. According to Sullivan, who in 30 years with the Bureau had seen everything
there was to be seen of the seamy side of life, King was one of only seven people
he had ever encountered who was such a total degenerate.

Noting the violence that almost invariably attended King's supposedly "non-violent"
marches, Sullivan's probe revealed a very different King from the carefully crafted
public image. King welcomed members of many different Black groups as members of
his SCLC, many of them advocates and practitioners of violence. King's only
admonition on the subject was that they should embrace "tactical nonviolence."

Sullivan also relates an incident in which King met in a financial conference with
Communist Party representatives, not knowing that one of the participants was an
infiltrator actually working for the FBI.

J. Edgar Hoover personally saw to it that documented information on King's

Communist connections was provided to the President and to Congress. And conclusive
information from FBI files was also provided to major newspapers and news wire
services. But were the American people informed of King's real nature? No, for even
in the 1960s, the fix was in—the controlled media and the bought politicians were
bound and determined to push their racial mixing program on America. King was their
man and nothing was going to get in their way. With a few minor exceptions, these
facts have been kept from the American people. The pro-King propaganda machine
grinds on, and it is even reported that a serious proposal has been made to add
some of King's writings as a new book in the Bible.

Ladies and gentlemen, the purpose of this radio program is far greater than to
prove to you the immorality and subversion of this man called King.

I want you to start to think for yourselves.

I want you to consider this: What are the forces and motivation behind the
controlled media's active promotion of King?

Our children are victims of propaganda.What does it tell you about our politicians
when you see them, almost without exception, falling all over themselves to honor
King as a national hero?

What does it tell you about our society when any public criticism of this moral
leper and Communist functionary is considered grounds for dismissal?

What does it tell you about the controlled media when you see how they have
successfully suppressed the truth and held out a picture of King that can only be
described as a colossal lie?

You need to think, my fellow Americans. You desperately need to wake up.
