1
00:00:09,049 --> 00:00:03,830
well I hope everyone enjoyed a day off

2
00:00:14,509 --> 00:00:11,390
I was thinking about coming out with

3
00:00:17,810 --> 00:00:14,519
this episode the day of

4
00:00:19,849 --> 00:00:17,820
but in retrospect I decided it would be

5
00:00:21,590 --> 00:00:19,859
more respectful to wait a day to come

6
00:00:24,349 --> 00:00:21,600
out with it

7
00:00:26,689 --> 00:00:24,359
I think that's appropriate and it is a

8
00:00:28,730 --> 00:00:26,699
sensitive issue

9
00:00:32,749 --> 00:00:28,740
there's a lot to this

10
00:00:36,290 --> 00:00:32,759
but most importantly what if I told you

11
00:00:39,350 --> 00:00:36,300
one person could be connected

12
00:00:40,369 --> 00:00:39,360
to a variety of conspiracies the deaths

13
00:00:43,970 --> 00:00:40,379
of

14
00:00:47,450 --> 00:00:43,980
Martin Luther King Jr

15
00:00:51,770 --> 00:00:47,460
John Fitzgerald Kennedy

16
00:00:54,170 --> 00:00:51,780
Robert Kennedy and even Jimmy Hoffa

17
00:00:56,510 --> 00:00:54,180
at first this sounds far-fetched

18
00:00:59,150 --> 00:00:56,520
when I became aware of these connections

19
00:01:01,069 --> 00:00:59,160
it seemed impossible outside of the fact

20
00:01:04,210 --> 00:01:01,079
it was more than just connections from

21
00:01:08,030 --> 00:01:04,220
governmental intelligence organizations

22
00:01:10,910 --> 00:01:08,040
like the CIA or FBI

23
00:01:14,210 --> 00:01:10,920
no this is much more pronounced

24
00:01:16,490 --> 00:01:14,220
in that it was connections through an

25
00:01:20,749 --> 00:01:16,500
actual physical person

26
00:01:22,130 --> 00:01:20,759
an individual an oil tycoon named H.L

27
00:01:24,649 --> 00:01:22,140
hunt

28
00:01:27,050 --> 00:01:24,659
it's all true

at 605 pm

30
00:01:32,870 --> 00:01:31,320

was assassinated standing on a balcony

33
00:01:40,730 --> 00:01:39,720

lot of the things covered

58
00:03:18,830 --> 00:03:17,340
it would be nice to at least break

I greatly appreciate it now let's get to

66
00:03:41,030 --> 00:03:36,959
the business

67
00:03:45,649 --> 00:03:41,040
we have John F Kennedy Hoffa Robert

68
00:03:48,890 --> 00:03:45,659
Kennedy Martin Luther King Jr

69
00:03:51,890 --> 00:03:48,900
one person had ties to the murders of

70
00:03:54,649 --> 00:03:51,900
all of them or at least had the motives

71
00:03:56,449 --> 00:03:54,659
and opportunities to be involved in

72
00:03:59,750 --> 00:03:56,459
these deaths

73
00:04:00,890 --> 00:03:59,760
let's not say he was let's not say he

74
00:04:03,530 --> 00:04:00,900
wasn't

75
00:04:08,089 --> 00:04:03,540
but his tentacles of control

76
00:04:11,649 --> 00:04:08,099
were in opportune situations delving

77
00:04:16,670 --> 00:04:11,659
deeply within each of these events

78
00:04:19,390 --> 00:04:16,680
John Currington the former assistant

79
00:04:22,730 --> 00:04:19,400
to oil billionaire

80
00:04:26,629 --> 00:04:22,740
H.L hunt

81
00:04:30,770 --> 00:04:26,639
believes hunt was possibly involved

82
00:04:37,670 --> 00:04:34,430
hunt was involved behind the scenes

83
00:04:40,070 --> 00:04:37,680
talking to Lyndon B Johnson

84
00:04:40,790 --> 00:04:40,080
he was a gentleman who could pick up the

85
00:04:43,129 --> 00:04:40,800
phone

86
00:04:46,670 --> 00:04:43,139
and talk to presidents

87
00:04:50,990 --> 00:04:48,650
definitely an elite

88
00:04:54,290 --> 00:04:51,000
one of the wealthiest men in the country

89
00:04:56,930 --> 00:04:54,300
among the top eight

90
00:04:58,550 --> 00:04:56,940
he believed he needed Lyndon B Johnson

91
00:05:01,430 --> 00:04:58,560
to be president

92
00:05:04,010 --> 00:05:01,440
and to be able to do whatever he wanted

93
00:05:07,310 --> 00:05:04,020
this was ideal

94
00:05:09,469 --> 00:05:07,320
Not only was it ideal it aligned with

95
00:05:12,350 --> 00:05:09,479
his political view

96
00:05:14,570 --> 00:05:12,360
and Mr Hunt made no qualms or excuses

97
00:05:19,490 --> 00:05:14,580
about his political views in fact he

98
00:05:26,570 --> 00:05:23,749
that aligned with his politics

99
00:05:29,029 --> 00:05:26,580
at some point Mr Hunt lost faith in

100
00:05:31,129 --> 00:05:29,039
governance Mr Hunt was a man who

101
00:05:33,170 --> 00:05:31,139
reminded many of the Old West

102
00:05:35,990 --> 00:05:33,180
and was willing to do anything to

103
00:05:39,850 --> 00:05:38,090
Mr Hunt was friends with many of the

104
00:05:44,090 --> 00:05:39,860
anti-kennedy people of the time

105
00:05:47,450 --> 00:05:44,100
including Lee Harvey Oswald

106
00:05:51,950 --> 00:05:47,460
Mr Hunt also believed that if Lee Harvey

107
00:05:53,990 --> 00:05:51,960
Oswald ever was questioned in court

108
00:05:56,870 --> 00:05:54,000
that he would make it obvious that Mr

109
00:06:00,350 --> 00:05:56,880
Hunt was anti-kennedy and it would be a

110
00:06:03,230 --> 00:06:00,360
major situation for Mr Hunt

111
00:06:06,110 --> 00:06:03,240
Mr Hunt also believed he could be

112
00:06:07,370 --> 00:06:06,120
indicted if Oswald ever testified it in

113
00:06:11,450 --> 00:06:07,380
a court of law

114
00:06:14,930 --> 00:06:11,460
due to them being on a radio program

115
00:06:18,650 --> 00:06:14,940
on a Saturday afternoon around 3 or 4

116
00:06:22,249 --> 00:06:18,660
P.M Mr Hunt had his assistant and

117
00:06:24,290 --> 00:06:22,259
right-hand man John Curington go down to

118
00:06:28,909 --> 00:06:24,300
the police department where Lee Harvey

119
00:06:31,790 --> 00:06:30,710
not only to check the security around

120
00:06:34,249 --> 00:06:31,800
the place

121
00:06:36,890 --> 00:06:34,259
but to report on it afterwards to Mr

122
00:06:40,550 --> 00:06:38,450
coincidentally

123
00:06:43,550 --> 00:06:40,560
John Currington ran into a police

124
00:06:46,790 --> 00:06:43,560
officer a friend of his on the elevator

125
00:06:51,710 --> 00:06:46,800
named captain Fritz

126
00:06:54,469 --> 00:06:51,720
Captain Fritz had Lee Harvey Oswald

127
00:06:56,689 --> 00:06:54,479
and he was even introduced to Lee Harvey

128
00:06:58,969 --> 00:06:56,699
Oswald

129
00:07:02,210 --> 00:06:58,979
after it was all over John Currington

130
00:07:05,090 --> 00:07:02,220
did as he was instructed and went to Mr

131
00:07:08,090 --> 00:07:05,100
Hunt's home and reported on the security

132
00:07:12,350 --> 00:07:08,100
around the police department

133
00:07:14,330 --> 00:07:12,360
the same one Oswald was being held in

134
00:07:16,430 --> 00:07:14,340
no matter what time of night Mr Hunt

135
00:07:19,550 --> 00:07:16,440
told him and so it went

136
00:07:22,370 --> 00:07:19,560
he did exactly that and afterwards he

137
00:07:26,029 --> 00:07:22,380
was instructed by Mr Hunt to go to the

138
00:07:29,390 --> 00:07:26,039
house of Joseph Civello

139
00:07:31,969 --> 00:07:29,400
Joseph Civello or Joe savello was a

140
00:07:36,170 --> 00:07:31,979
native of Baton Rouge Louisiana

141
00:07:38,029 --> 00:07:36,180
who had moved to Dallas in 1928

142
00:07:39,710 --> 00:07:38,039
when he was arrested for the murder of

143
00:07:43,070 --> 00:07:39,720
Joe DeCarlo

144
00:07:45,529 --> 00:07:43,080
at the Saint Paul drug store in Dallas

145
00:07:47,330 --> 00:07:45,539
all witnessed in plain sight

146
00:07:51,290 --> 00:07:47,340
however

147
00:07:53,870 --> 00:07:51,300
reportedly decarlo's dying words were

148
00:07:57,890 --> 00:07:53,880
that the close range shotgun blast to

149
00:08:00,290 --> 00:07:57,900
his abdomen was accidental

150
00:08:01,969 --> 00:08:00,300
based on this information a grand jury

151
00:08:05,689 --> 00:08:01,979
did not issue an indictment against

152
00:08:10,070 --> 00:08:09,110
by the 1930s Civello had organized a

153
00:08:13,730 --> 00:08:10,080
crew

154
00:08:19,010 --> 00:08:13,740
a gang of sorts dubbed the Civello gang

155
00:08:23,510 --> 00:08:21,589
This Crew included cousins

156
00:08:25,309 --> 00:08:23,520
Sam Civello

157
00:08:27,350 --> 00:08:25,319
Louis Civello

158
00:08:28,969 --> 00:08:27,360
Leon savello

159
00:08:33,110 --> 00:08:28,979
Frank Lanny

160
00:08:35,930 --> 00:08:33,120
and Joe Cascio among others

161
00:08:40,610 --> 00:08:35,940
the gang operated as Associates of the

162
00:08:45,230 --> 00:08:41,990
and

163
00:08:49,009 --> 00:08:45,240
was involved primarily with bootlegging

164
00:08:53,990 --> 00:08:51,650
the Civello gang's biggest rival at the

165
00:08:55,670 --> 00:08:54,000
time was the Jewish gang known as

166
00:08:59,389 --> 00:08:55,680
beagler's gang

167
00:09:01,850 --> 00:08:59,399
headed by Nathan Beagler

168
00:09:03,290 --> 00:09:01,860
keep in mind Nathan Beagler was very

169
00:09:06,710 --> 00:09:03,300
familiar

170
00:09:11,210 --> 00:09:06,720
with Meyer Lansky and Carlos Marcelo

171
00:09:16,250 --> 00:09:13,370
when Beagler was sentenced to 10 years

172
00:09:18,769 --> 00:09:16,260
in Leavenworth

173
00:09:22,930 --> 00:09:18,779
another Jewish gangster

174
00:09:26,389 --> 00:09:22,940
Louie Big Daddy Ginsburg

175
00:09:29,150 --> 00:09:26,399
reorganized the remnants of bigler's

176
00:09:31,490 --> 00:09:29,160
gang and cooperated with the Civello

177
00:09:39,769 --> 00:09:36,050
in 1937 after a two-year investigation

178
00:09:43,190 --> 00:09:39,779
federal agents seized more than 150

179
00:09:45,949 --> 00:09:43,200
thousand dollars worth of drugs

180
00:09:47,990 --> 00:09:45,959
and arrested members of both crime

181
00:09:52,070 --> 00:09:48,000
families

182
00:09:56,389 --> 00:09:52,080
Ginsburg was sentenced to 50 years

183
00:10:00,350 --> 00:09:56,399
and savello to 15 years

184
00:10:03,829 --> 00:10:00,360
after his release savello resumed his

185
00:10:07,009 --> 00:10:03,839
organized criminal activities in Dallas

186
00:10:08,930 --> 00:10:07,019
and quickly moved up the peranio family

187
00:10:11,150 --> 00:10:08,940
ranks

188
00:10:16,430 --> 00:10:11,160
Civello assumed the Reigns of the crime

189
00:10:18,350 --> 00:10:16,440
family upon perania's death in 1956.

190
00:10:21,170 --> 00:10:18,360
which brings us to what took place

191
00:10:23,870 --> 00:10:21,180
afterwards

192
00:10:26,630 --> 00:10:23,880
John Currington went to Mr savello's

193
00:10:29,329 --> 00:10:26,640
home and asked him if he would come to

194
00:10:31,550 --> 00:10:29,339
Mr Hunt's home which was known as Mount

195
00:10:34,610 --> 00:10:31,560
Vernon

196
00:10:37,310 --> 00:10:34,620
John Currington got savello up at about

197
00:10:39,530 --> 00:10:37,320
2 30 in the morning

198
00:10:41,930 --> 00:10:39,540
this was on a Sunday

199
00:10:43,730 --> 00:10:41,940
and he got him ready to go to Mr Hunt's

200
00:10:49,310 --> 00:10:43,740
house

201
00:10:54,949 --> 00:10:51,410
what took place between there and 11

202
00:10:59,389 --> 00:10:54,959
o'clock nobody knows however

203
00:11:00,350 --> 00:10:59,399
at 11 o'clock Lee Harvey Oswald

204
00:11:02,750 --> 00:11:00,360
thank you

205
00:11:05,930 --> 00:11:02,760
was shot

206
00:11:10,850 --> 00:11:05,940
by Jack Ruby coming out of the police

207
00:11:13,449 --> 00:11:10,860
station which they had cased out earlier

208
00:11:17,690 --> 00:11:13,459
is that a coincidence I'm not so sure

209
00:11:21,410 --> 00:11:17,700
everything sure does seem to align

210
00:11:23,930 --> 00:11:21,420
there was definitely the opportunity

211
00:11:26,870 --> 00:11:23,940
and the correct

212
00:11:28,970 --> 00:11:26,880
people involved

213
00:11:32,269 --> 00:11:28,980
and this is where Martin Luther King's

214
00:11:35,870 --> 00:11:32,279
assassination comes into play

215
00:11:39,069 --> 00:11:35,880
there was a program called lifeline

216
00:11:41,630 --> 00:11:39,079
it was a six day a week very

217
00:11:45,769 --> 00:11:41,640
pro-american program

218
00:11:47,870 --> 00:11:45,779
aimed at getting people to cast votes

219
00:11:52,490 --> 00:11:47,880
not any vote but votes that would favor

220
00:11:55,910 --> 00:11:52,500
its owner's aim who was the same Mr H.L

221
00:12:00,290 --> 00:11:57,949
Martin Luther King Jr

222
00:12:03,110 --> 00:12:00,300
probably had more negative programs

223
00:12:08,590 --> 00:12:03,120
about him than anyone else at the time

224
00:12:13,430 --> 00:12:11,210
lifelines supposedly got a lot of the

225
00:12:16,250 --> 00:12:13,440
material for their show

226
00:12:20,030 --> 00:12:16,260
from none other than J Edgar Hoover

227
00:12:22,790 --> 00:12:20,040
among other government informants

228
00:12:24,470 --> 00:12:22,800
you can find out a ton more on this

229
00:12:27,170 --> 00:12:24,480
subject in the book

230
00:12:30,170 --> 00:12:27,180
motive and opportunity

231
00:12:33,769 --> 00:12:30,180
a book by Mitchell Whittington and John

232
00:12:40,069 --> 00:12:38,030
this is connecting Mr H.L hunt to the

233
00:12:43,550 --> 00:12:40,079
murders of Hoffa

234
00:12:44,509 --> 00:12:43,560
Robert Kennedy Martin Luther King Jr and

235
00:12:47,629 --> 00:12:44,519
even

236
00:12:55,190 --> 00:12:51,710
J Edgar Hoover and Mr Hunt believed

237
00:12:57,829 --> 00:12:55,200
Martin Luther King Jr was a detriment to

238
00:12:59,750 --> 00:12:57,839
the politics of this country

239
00:13:02,509 --> 00:12:59,760
and believed

240
00:13:05,509 --> 00:13:02,519
Martin Luther King Jr was being

241
00:13:08,930 --> 00:13:05,519
supported by the Communist Party

242
00:13:11,870 --> 00:13:08,940
Mr Hunt got word of the assassination of

243
00:13:14,990 --> 00:13:11,880
Martin Luther King Jr within 10 to 15

244
00:13:18,050 --> 00:13:15,000
minutes after it occurred

245
00:13:20,629 --> 00:13:18,060
Mr Hunt then proceeded to ask his

246
00:13:23,269 --> 00:13:20,639
right-hand man and assistant John

247
00:13:25,490 --> 00:13:23,279
Currington to gather as many young women

248
00:13:28,610 --> 00:13:25,500
as he could find

249
00:13:31,730 --> 00:13:28,620
and to call every Lifeline radio station

250
00:13:34,250 --> 00:13:31,740
they could and ask them not to play a

251
00:13:37,069 --> 00:13:34,260
Martin Luther King Jr program

252
00:13:39,949 --> 00:13:37,079
that was scheduled to play

253
00:13:42,170 --> 00:13:39,959
there were over 600 radio stations at

254
00:13:44,389 --> 00:13:42,180
the time with lifeline

255
00:13:46,129 --> 00:13:44,399
so this was a major operation in

256
00:13:47,990 --> 00:13:46,139
undertaking

257
00:13:51,769 --> 00:13:48,000
somebody knew

258
00:13:58,009 --> 00:13:54,949
whether this was the Communist Party

259
00:14:00,410 --> 00:13:58,019
or others involved with the MLK movement

260
00:14:02,269 --> 00:14:00,420
is uncertain

261
00:14:05,030 --> 00:14:02,279
what is certain

262
00:14:06,889 --> 00:14:05,040
is Mr Hunt began to receive daily

263
00:14:09,230 --> 00:14:06,899
threats on his life

264
00:14:12,829 --> 00:14:09,240
and shots were fired in the direction of

265
00:14:15,530 --> 00:14:12,839
his home and over his roofline

266
00:14:17,389 --> 00:14:15,540
Mr Hunt is rumored to have been so

267
00:14:18,710 --> 00:14:17,399
worried about the barrage of harassment

268
00:14:21,650 --> 00:14:18,720
and threats

269
00:14:25,310 --> 00:14:21,660
that he asked his assistant to get

270
00:14:28,250 --> 00:14:25,320
tickets to El Paso Texas in his name

271
00:14:30,889 --> 00:14:28,260
and then make arrangements to have them

272
00:14:33,350 --> 00:14:30,899
stay in a hotel room under the assumed

273
00:14:34,610 --> 00:14:33,360
name of the assistant instead of Their

274
00:14:36,829 --> 00:14:34,620
Own

275
00:14:39,470 --> 00:14:36,839
after this ordeal

276
00:14:42,310 --> 00:14:39,480
none other than Jay Edgar Hoover himself

277
00:14:45,050 --> 00:14:42,320
called Mr John Currington the assistant

278
00:14:47,629 --> 00:14:45,060
and asked him if he could bring Mr Hunt

279
00:14:50,750 --> 00:14:47,639
and his wife to Washington D.C

280
00:14:53,030 --> 00:14:50,760
and of course they headed to Washington

281
00:14:55,790 --> 00:14:53,040
although the meaning was extremely top

282
00:14:57,410 --> 00:14:55,800
secret and Mr Currington did not know

283
00:14:58,850 --> 00:14:57,420
what the meeting was about

284
00:15:02,150 --> 00:14:58,860
he assumed

285
00:15:04,250 --> 00:15:02,160
it was about Martin Luther King Jr

286
00:15:05,990 --> 00:15:04,260
given the time and proximity to current

287
00:15:09,290 --> 00:15:06,000
events

288
00:15:10,730 --> 00:15:09,300
he had just been assassinated

289
00:15:13,189 --> 00:15:10,740
keep in mind

290
00:15:16,129 --> 00:15:13,199
that Attorney General Robert Kennedy

291
00:15:19,850 --> 00:15:16,139
approved a request from the FBI director

292
00:15:22,370 --> 00:15:19,860
J Edgar Hoover to install wiretaps on

293
00:15:24,470 --> 00:15:22,380
the Home and Office of top advisors to

294
00:15:29,030 --> 00:15:24,480
Martin Luther King Jr

295
00:15:31,850 --> 00:15:29,040
one of which was Stanley David levison

296
00:15:36,829 --> 00:15:31,860
a New York city-based lawyer and

297
00:15:39,290 --> 00:15:36,839
influential member of CP USA

298
00:15:42,110 --> 00:15:39,300
the Communist Party of the United States

299
00:15:47,090 --> 00:15:44,930
the FBI heightened its surveillance of

300
00:15:50,990 --> 00:15:47,100
Martin Luther King Jr

301
00:15:53,090 --> 00:15:51,000
and of his advisors and confidence under

302
00:15:56,870 --> 00:15:53,100
its domestic counter-intelligence

303
00:15:59,629 --> 00:15:56,880
program called cointelpro

304
00:16:02,569 --> 00:15:59,639
under the premise it was a matter of

305
00:16:07,310 --> 00:16:05,449
the Relentless surveillance provided

306
00:16:09,290 --> 00:16:07,320
little information

307
00:16:10,850 --> 00:16:09,300
on any communist activity or

308
00:16:14,509 --> 00:16:10,860
affirmations

309
00:16:18,110 --> 00:16:14,519
it did however come across other dirt

310
00:16:22,910 --> 00:16:18,120
on Martin Luther King Jr

311
00:16:28,490 --> 00:16:25,970
it turned up substantial evidence of

312
00:16:30,829 --> 00:16:28,500
Martin Luther King Jr's extramarital

313
00:16:34,129 --> 00:16:30,839
affairs

314
00:16:36,110 --> 00:16:34,139
Jed gerhoover and other agents

315
00:16:39,290 --> 00:16:36,120
tried to Blackmail

316
00:16:41,150 --> 00:16:39,300
Martin Luther King into taking his own

317
00:16:43,790 --> 00:16:41,160
life

318
00:16:47,870 --> 00:16:43,800
they were unsuccessful

319
00:16:52,850 --> 00:16:47,880
but used many intimidation techniques

320
00:17:00,650 --> 00:16:57,410
J Edgar Hoover was a very smart guy and

321
00:17:06,049 --> 00:17:00,660
Rose quickly in government service

322
00:17:08,270 --> 00:17:06,059
although born in just 1895 by 1919 he

323
00:17:11,809 --> 00:17:08,280
led the general intelligence division of

324
00:17:15,890 --> 00:17:13,730
under director Hoover

325
00:17:18,169 --> 00:17:15,900
the Bureau of Investigation grew

326
00:17:20,569 --> 00:17:18,179
exponentially

327
00:17:23,750 --> 00:17:20,579
not only in responsibility

328
00:17:28,309 --> 00:17:25,130
but

329
00:17:32,450 --> 00:17:30,590
he was a master of domestic

330
00:17:36,789 --> 00:17:32,460
counter-intelligence

331
00:17:40,730 --> 00:17:36,799
counter Espionage and counter sabotage

332
00:17:42,289 --> 00:17:40,740
investigations and not someone to be

333
00:17:45,529 --> 00:17:42,299
messed with

334
00:17:47,390 --> 00:17:45,539
therefore when Mr J Edgar Hoover called

335
00:17:49,549 --> 00:17:47,400
Mr Hunt to Washington

336
00:17:51,650 --> 00:17:49,559
it must have been for something more

337
00:17:53,870 --> 00:17:51,660
important than merely a social call or

338
00:17:57,650 --> 00:17:53,880
visit

339
00:18:00,529 --> 00:17:57,660
with the death of Martin Luther King Jr

340
00:18:03,890 --> 00:18:00,539
James Earl Ray was arrested

341
00:18:07,070 --> 00:18:03,900
quickly after the assassination

342
00:18:10,190 --> 00:18:07,080
a lawyer named Percy Foreman

343
00:18:16,010 --> 00:18:10,200
wiggled his way into defending James

344
00:18:20,390 --> 00:18:18,350
Ray pleaded guilty in the Shelby County

345
00:18:24,590 --> 00:18:20,400
Tennessee Criminal Court

346
00:18:29,570 --> 00:18:24,600
to the murder of Martin Luther King Jr

347
00:18:35,930 --> 00:18:32,870
Percy Foreman a member of the Texas bar

348
00:18:39,650 --> 00:18:35,940
was attorney at the time of his plea

349
00:18:42,049 --> 00:18:39,660
earlier from July 5th 1968 to November

350
00:18:46,130 --> 00:18:42,059
11 1968

351
00:18:48,590 --> 00:18:46,140
James Earl Ray was incarcerated

352
00:18:50,090 --> 00:18:48,600
Ray had a previous attorney by the name

353
00:18:53,750 --> 00:18:50,100
of Haynes

354
00:18:56,450 --> 00:18:53,760
who had drawn up a lucrative book deal

355
00:18:59,090 --> 00:18:56,460
not any book deal agreement but one that

356
00:19:00,590 --> 00:18:59,100
went along with the rights for Rey to

357
00:19:04,070 --> 00:19:00,600
make a substantial amount of money

358
00:19:06,650 --> 00:19:04,080
during all of this negativity

359
00:19:09,230 --> 00:19:06,660
after Percy Forman wiggled his way into

360
00:19:12,890 --> 00:19:09,240
becoming Rey's attorney

361
00:19:14,990 --> 00:19:12,900
he wrote a letter to Rey which read

362
00:19:17,750 --> 00:19:15,000
if the plea is entered

363
00:19:20,570 --> 00:19:17,760
and the sentence accepted

364
00:19:22,970 --> 00:19:20,580
and no embarrassing circumstances take

365
00:19:27,110 --> 00:19:22,980
place in the courtroom

366
00:19:30,770 --> 00:19:27,120
I am willing to assign to any Bank Trust

367
00:19:32,870 --> 00:19:30,780
Company or individual selected by you

368
00:19:35,350 --> 00:19:32,880
all my receipts under the above

369
00:19:39,950 --> 00:19:35,360
agreement in excess of

370
00:19:46,130 --> 00:19:42,590
did Foreman pressure Ray with a payoff

371
00:19:52,190 --> 00:19:49,610
that is the conspiracy and that is a big

372
00:19:55,310 --> 00:19:54,289
after the preparations for the trial

373
00:19:58,130 --> 00:19:55,320
began

374
00:20:01,909 --> 00:19:58,140
again Mr Hunt was under the impression

375
00:20:04,310 --> 00:20:01,919
that James Earl Ray acted in

376
00:20:06,890 --> 00:20:04,320
assassinating Martin Luther King

377
00:20:09,110 --> 00:20:06,900
due to his listening ship of the

378
00:20:12,470 --> 00:20:09,120
lifeline radio program

379
00:20:15,470 --> 00:20:12,480
and again Mr Hunt believed as he did in

380
00:20:16,430 --> 00:20:15,480
the JFK proceedings that if James Earl

381
00:20:18,610 --> 00:20:16,440
Ray

382
00:20:22,490 --> 00:20:18,620
the one who was arrested for the crime

383
00:20:23,810 --> 00:20:22,500
testified It Anyway shape or form any

384
00:20:25,669 --> 00:20:23,820
information

385
00:20:28,010 --> 00:20:25,679
to any degree

386
00:20:29,630 --> 00:20:28,020
that legal repercussions and condemning

387
00:20:31,730 --> 00:20:29,640
fingers might be pointed in his

388
00:20:33,710 --> 00:20:31,740
direction that this would be very bad

389
00:20:36,830 --> 00:20:33,720
for him

390
00:20:37,970 --> 00:20:36,840
so Mr Hunt got Percy Foreman on the

391
00:20:43,070 --> 00:20:37,980
telephone

392
00:20:49,490 --> 00:20:46,010
they also met in person

393
00:20:50,529 --> 00:20:49,500
according to Mr Currington Mr Hunt gave

394
00:20:53,870 --> 00:20:50,539
him

395
00:20:58,610 --> 00:20:53,880
125 thousand dollars in cash

396
00:21:03,590 --> 00:21:02,270
and give the 125 thousand dollars in

397
00:21:10,310 --> 00:21:03,600
cash

398
00:21:15,650 --> 00:21:13,250
as the assistant said he gave Percy

399
00:21:18,470 --> 00:21:15,660
Foreman 125

400
00:21:22,909 --> 00:21:18,480
000 reasons as he put it

401
00:21:26,150 --> 00:21:22,919
as to why James Earl Ray should plead

402
00:21:27,890 --> 00:21:26,160
guilty to the assassination

403
00:21:30,590 --> 00:21:27,900
sure enough

404
00:21:33,350 --> 00:21:30,600
shortly afterwards

405
00:21:36,950 --> 00:21:33,360
James Earl Ray

406
00:21:40,190 --> 00:21:36,960
pleaded guilty to the murder

407
00:21:45,590 --> 00:21:40,200
silencing any possibility of testifying

408
00:21:52,610 --> 00:21:48,890
interestingly a few days later James

409
00:21:55,610 --> 00:21:52,620
Earl Ray wanted to change his plea

410
00:21:58,250 --> 00:21:55,620
he was adamant about it and the judge

411
00:22:00,950 --> 00:21:58,260
would not allow it

412
00:22:04,789 --> 00:22:00,960
James Earl Ray explained that he was

413
00:22:07,010 --> 00:22:04,799
railroaded and talked into this

414
00:22:09,950 --> 00:22:07,020
this was at little avail

415
00:22:12,710 --> 00:22:09,960
and did not help him

416
00:22:16,190 --> 00:22:12,720
sadly no member of the Martin Luther

417
00:22:19,970 --> 00:22:16,200
King Jr Camp of friends political allies

418
00:22:22,789 --> 00:22:19,980
or even family members believed that

419
00:22:25,549 --> 00:22:22,799
James Earl Ray was solely responsible

420
00:22:29,810 --> 00:22:25,559
for the assassination

421
00:22:32,870 --> 00:22:29,820
in fact Coretta Scott King described a

422
00:22:34,730 --> 00:22:32,880
major high-level conspiracy in the

423
00:22:38,690 --> 00:22:34,740
assassination of her husband

424
00:22:44,810 --> 00:22:41,510
the king children are sure that the

425
00:22:49,669 --> 00:22:44,820
government was included in ways and

426
00:22:55,010 --> 00:22:52,549
King's family did not trust the findings

427
00:22:56,750 --> 00:22:55,020
of the FBI which had continually

428
00:23:00,110 --> 00:22:56,760
surveilled

429
00:23:03,590 --> 00:23:00,120
stalked and harassed the Civil Rights

430
00:23:09,950 --> 00:23:06,470
after being shot fatally at the Lorraine

431
00:23:13,130 --> 00:23:09,960
Motel in Memphis Tennessee on April 4th

432
00:23:16,549 --> 00:23:15,649
many conspiracy theories would be

433
00:23:19,970 --> 00:23:16,559
floated

434
00:23:22,610 --> 00:23:19,980
by James Earl Ray

435
00:23:25,610 --> 00:23:22,620
none were ever taken seriously

436
00:23:28,190 --> 00:23:25,620
or let alone proven

437
00:23:30,950 --> 00:23:28,200
according to the mainstream narrative

438
00:23:33,649 --> 00:23:30,960
Rey stood in a bathtub

439
00:23:37,669 --> 00:23:33,659
at a shady flop house across the street

440
00:23:43,270 --> 00:23:41,029
this is where he fired one shot at

441
00:23:48,289 --> 00:23:43,280
Martin Luther King Jr

442
00:23:52,669 --> 00:23:50,270
after being caught

443
00:23:54,049 --> 00:23:52,679
Rey changed his story

444
00:23:58,070 --> 00:23:54,059
claiming

445
00:23:59,990 --> 00:23:58,080
that a man named Raul was the real

446
00:24:02,630 --> 00:24:00,000
assassin

447
00:24:05,090 --> 00:24:02,640
there's been some looking into Raul and

448
00:24:08,870 --> 00:24:05,100
a lot of avenues could be expressed here

449
00:24:11,990 --> 00:24:08,880
but let's stick to the story

450
00:24:14,330 --> 00:24:12,000
James Earl Ray was an interesting man

451
00:24:17,750 --> 00:24:14,340
this is to say the least

452
00:24:20,330 --> 00:24:17,760
and he wasn't one

453
00:24:22,549 --> 00:24:20,340
that was normal in any sense of the word

454
00:24:24,710 --> 00:24:22,559
an entire podcast could be made about

455
00:24:27,310 --> 00:24:24,720
this guy

456
00:24:30,110 --> 00:24:27,320
Ray had a string of incarcerations

457
00:24:33,409 --> 00:24:30,120
across the country

458
00:24:37,190 --> 00:24:33,419
a movie could be made about him

459
00:24:40,490 --> 00:24:37,200
in 1952 he was arrested

460
00:24:44,750 --> 00:24:40,500
found guilty and sentenced to two years

461
00:24:52,070 --> 00:24:49,850
in 1955 he was arrested found guilty and

462
00:24:55,070 --> 00:24:52,080
sentenced to four years

463
00:24:56,630 --> 00:24:55,080
in Leavenworth Kansas this was for

464
00:25:00,529 --> 00:24:56,640
robbing a post office

465
00:25:08,270 --> 00:25:04,789
in 1960 he was arrested found guilty and

466
00:25:10,850 --> 00:25:08,280
sentenced to a 20-year sentence

467
00:25:13,850 --> 00:25:10,860
in the Missouri State Penitentiary in

468
00:25:18,830 --> 00:25:16,250
now this is a prison I visited with my

469
00:25:21,470 --> 00:25:18,840
close friend who lives in the area

470
00:25:23,630 --> 00:25:21,480
and it was a horrific place to say the

471
00:25:24,590 --> 00:25:23,640
least we did some ghost hunting there at

472
00:25:27,169 --> 00:25:24,600
night

473
00:25:28,430 --> 00:25:27,179
it is freaky

474
00:25:33,289 --> 00:25:28,440
however

475
00:25:39,470 --> 00:25:35,830
on April 23

476
00:25:43,310 --> 00:25:39,480
1967 Rey escaped the Missouri State

477
00:25:45,769 --> 00:25:43,320
Penitentiary by hiding in a bread truck

478
00:25:48,049 --> 00:25:45,779
a bread truck none other than from the

479
00:25:50,930 --> 00:25:48,059
prison Bakery

480
00:25:52,430 --> 00:25:50,940
this was his third attempt and it was

481
00:25:54,769 --> 00:25:52,440
successful

482
00:25:58,250 --> 00:25:54,779
he escaped

483
00:26:00,590 --> 00:25:58,260
Ray was on the run after his Escape

484
00:26:03,110 --> 00:26:00,600
he went to St Louis

485
00:26:06,769 --> 00:26:03,120
and Chicago

486
00:26:09,890 --> 00:26:06,779
then Toronto Montreal and then

487
00:26:09,900 --> 00:26:14,450
he then went to Acapulco

488
00:26:20,690 --> 00:26:17,810
then Puerto Vallarta

489
00:26:24,230 --> 00:26:20,700
in Mexico Rey took on a different line

490
00:26:28,669 --> 00:26:26,570
he took up a career as a pornographic

491
00:26:32,090 --> 00:26:28,679
film editor

492
00:26:35,510 --> 00:26:32,100
wild to say the least

493
00:26:38,029 --> 00:26:35,520
after that Ray went to Los Angeles and

494
00:26:40,310 --> 00:26:38,039
worked on jobs

495
00:26:42,049 --> 00:26:40,320
he then volunteered to work on the

496
00:26:46,010 --> 00:26:42,059
presidential campaign of Alabama

497
00:26:51,649 --> 00:26:50,390
on March 5th 1968 he had his nose worked

498
00:26:52,909 --> 00:26:51,659
on

499
00:26:58,070 --> 00:26:52,919
surgery

500
00:27:04,370 --> 00:27:00,409
he left two weeks later

501
00:27:06,529 --> 00:27:04,380
headed for Atlanta and then finally to

502
00:27:08,930 --> 00:27:06,539
Tennessee

503
00:27:10,909 --> 00:27:08,940
the Martin Luther King family still

504
00:27:13,490 --> 00:27:10,919
believes it was more than just Rey

505
00:27:17,630 --> 00:27:13,500
involved in the assassination

506
00:27:20,570 --> 00:27:17,640
in 1968 Mr Hunt had an opinion that

507
00:27:23,090 --> 00:27:20,580
Robert Kennedy would be elected

508
00:27:26,149 --> 00:27:23,100
he considered both Robert Kennedy and

509
00:27:29,390 --> 00:27:26,159
Martin Luther King Jr to be two of his

510
00:27:31,730 --> 00:27:29,400
worst political enemies

511
00:27:33,289 --> 00:27:31,740
now Mr Hunt had an informant in

512
00:27:36,590 --> 00:27:33,299
California

513
00:27:37,909 --> 00:27:36,600
as to who Bobby Kennedy was meeting with

514
00:27:40,549 --> 00:27:37,919
Etc

515
00:27:42,230 --> 00:27:40,559
just a few weeks before Bobby Kennedy

516
00:27:44,870 --> 00:27:42,240
was assassinated

517
00:27:48,049 --> 00:27:44,880
Mr Hunt went out to California and

518
00:27:50,510 --> 00:27:48,059
stayed at The Ambassador Hotel

519
00:27:55,010 --> 00:27:50,520
coincidence well

520
00:27:58,010 --> 00:27:55,020
Mr Hunt meant with an unknown man

521
00:27:59,149 --> 00:27:58,020
during his time there and for unknown

522
00:28:01,730 --> 00:27:59,159
reasons

523
00:28:04,970 --> 00:28:01,740
during his time there

524
00:28:07,970 --> 00:28:04,980
of course the Ambassador Hotel

525
00:28:12,529 --> 00:28:07,980
is the spot

526
00:28:15,710 --> 00:28:12,539
where Bobby Kennedy was assassinated

527
00:28:17,870 --> 00:28:15,720
a gentleman named Mark Deering took

528
00:28:20,330 --> 00:28:17,880
forty thousand dollars to California to

529
00:28:22,669 --> 00:28:20,340
pay someone in California

530
00:28:25,010 --> 00:28:22,679
by Mr Hunt

531
00:28:28,730 --> 00:28:25,020
the money changed hands and none other

532
00:28:32,090 --> 00:28:28,740
than the Ambassador Hotel

533
00:28:34,669 --> 00:28:32,100
now Jimmy Hoffa was another integral

534
00:28:38,269 --> 00:28:34,679
character connected to the tentacles of

535
00:28:42,769 --> 00:28:38,279
control possibly operated by the one and

536
00:28:46,190 --> 00:28:42,779
only oil tycoon Mr Hunt

537
00:28:48,350 --> 00:28:46,200
Mr Hunt purportedly furnished twenty

538
00:28:50,210 --> 00:28:48,360
five thousand dollars to get Jimmy Hoffa

539
00:28:53,029 --> 00:28:50,220
out of jail

540
00:28:55,310 --> 00:28:53,039
Jimmy Hoffa also had connections to

541
00:28:58,610 --> 00:28:55,320
Bobby Kennedy

542
00:29:04,490 --> 00:28:58,620
finally Richard Nixon gave Hoffa a

543
00:29:09,769 --> 00:29:07,549
Jimmy Hoffa was loudspoken after getting

544
00:29:11,810 --> 00:29:09,779
out of prison instead of staying quiet

545
00:29:13,610 --> 00:29:11,820
and living a peaceful life

546
00:29:15,529 --> 00:29:13,620
this bothered a lot of people and

547
00:29:17,930 --> 00:29:15,539
ruffled a lot of feathers

548
00:29:20,149 --> 00:29:17,940
According to some Jimmy Hoffa was

549
00:29:22,850 --> 00:29:20,159
practically out of control

550
00:29:27,049 --> 00:29:22,860
and according to others he knew too much

551
00:29:33,230 --> 00:29:29,389
according to insiders and the knowledge

552
00:29:36,289 --> 00:29:33,240
they had Mr Hunt as well as many others

553
00:29:39,409 --> 00:29:36,299
including the CIA and Mafia

554
00:29:41,810 --> 00:29:39,419
wanted Jimmy Hoffa gone or at least

555
00:29:44,450 --> 00:29:41,820
disappeared

556
00:29:46,430 --> 00:29:44,460
according to people in Chicago Jimmy

557
00:29:50,269 --> 00:29:46,440
Hoffa was picked up

558
00:29:53,630 --> 00:29:50,279
and taken to a meat processing plant

559
00:29:57,110 --> 00:29:53,640
he was thrown into a meat grinder never

560
00:29:59,930 --> 00:29:57,120
to be seen again

561
00:30:01,730 --> 00:29:59,940
now this would explain why they never

562
00:30:06,110 --> 00:30:01,740
found him

563
00:30:07,610 --> 00:30:06,120
Mr H.L hunt may or may not have had

564
00:30:09,169 --> 00:30:07,620
something to do with all these

565
00:30:12,590 --> 00:30:09,179
assassinations

566
00:30:16,370 --> 00:30:12,600
but one thing one thing is certain

567
00:30:19,490 --> 00:30:16,380
he had connections to all of them and to

568
00:30:22,730 --> 00:30:19,500
some of the major players involved

569
00:30:24,529 --> 00:30:22,740
a lot of money was circulating all of

570
00:30:27,769 --> 00:30:24,539
these deaths

571
00:30:29,810 --> 00:30:27,779
and Hunt had plenty of money to go

572
00:30:32,149 --> 00:30:29,820
around

573
00:30:34,730 --> 00:30:32,159
he made his fortune by trading poker

574
00:30:37,090 --> 00:30:34,740
winnings for oil rights

575
00:30:40,789 --> 00:30:37,100
he also had a very successful

576
00:30:43,130 --> 00:30:40,799
speculation in oil leases

577
00:30:46,789 --> 00:30:43,140
he even secured the title to the very

578
00:30:49,789 --> 00:30:46,799
lucrative East Texas oil field

579
00:30:51,110 --> 00:30:49,799
one of the world's largest oil deposits

580
00:30:53,269 --> 00:30:51,120
around

581
00:30:55,549 --> 00:30:53,279
and he acquired those rights initially

582
00:30:57,110 --> 00:30:55,559
through a thirty thousand dollar land

583
00:31:00,590 --> 00:30:57,120
purchase

584
00:31:08,090 --> 00:31:05,210
he later founded Hunt Oil in 1936 and in

585
00:31:10,909 --> 00:31:08,100
the 1950s he began supporting

586
00:31:13,610 --> 00:31:10,919
highly conservative newspaper columns

587
00:31:16,549 --> 00:31:13,620
and radio programs

588
00:31:19,310 --> 00:31:16,559
interestingly Mr Hunt was homeschooled

589
00:31:21,529 --> 00:31:19,320
and he didn't go to elementary school or

590
00:31:26,690 --> 00:31:21,539
even high school

591
00:31:31,850 --> 00:31:26,700
in 1957 Fortune Magazine estimated Mr

592
00:31:34,250 --> 00:31:31,860
Hunt had 400 to 700 million dollars

593
00:31:37,430 --> 00:31:34,260
and was one of the eight richest people

594
00:31:45,950 --> 00:31:41,750
700 million dollars in 1957 was a lot

595
00:31:49,070 --> 00:31:45,960
more than 700 million dollars today

596
00:31:52,070 --> 00:31:49,080
regardless of opinions Mr Hunt was an

597
00:31:55,250 --> 00:31:52,080
octopus of power and control

598
00:31:58,130 --> 00:31:55,260
and at the very least he had ties to all

599
00:32:00,769 --> 00:31:58,140
the people and therefore untimely

600
00:32:04,789 --> 00:32:00,779
assassinations

601
00:32:08,090 --> 00:32:04,799
somehow Mr H.L Hunt's name

602
00:32:11,750 --> 00:32:08,100
comes up time and time again

603
00:32:13,970 --> 00:32:11,760
but as is usually the case with the

604
00:32:16,850 --> 00:32:13,980
extremely wealthy Elites

605
00:32:19,490 --> 00:32:16,860
and those in power and control

606
00:32:20,810 --> 00:32:19,500
he was never able to be reasonably

607
00:32:23,450 --> 00:32:20,820
connected

608
00:32:26,570 --> 00:32:23,460
in any way shape or form

609
00:32:28,970 --> 00:32:26,580
to any of these assassinations

610
00:32:32,029 --> 00:32:28,980
or murders

611
00:32:34,909 --> 00:32:32,039
it's almost as though he was more likely

612
00:32:36,409 --> 00:32:34,919
one of the Puppet Masters behind the

613
00:32:39,110 --> 00:32:36,419
curtain

614
00:32:41,990 --> 00:32:39,120
until next time keep your eyes to the

615
00:32:55,150 --> 00:32:42,000
skies feet on the ground but don't
