John Currington claims that H.L. Hunt had ties to the murders of JFK, RFK, MLK, and Jimmy Hoffa. According to Currington, Hunt was in constant contact with J. Edgar Hoover and used his media empire to smear King. Hunt reportedly received word of King's assassination within minutes and immediately moved to cancel derogatory radio programs to avoid being linked to the crime.
Percy Foreman, James Earl Ray and the $125,000 Briefcase
John Currington recounts delivering a briefcase containing $125,000 in cash to attorney Percy Foreman in Houston. The money was allegedly provided by H.L. Hunt to ensure that James Earl Ray, the accused killer of Martin Luther King Jr., would plead guilty. This maneuver was intended to prevent a trial where Ray might testify about who actually orchestrated the assassination.
A throwback clip from a previous episode explores how the Civil Rights Movement used media dramatization to reach white Americans. Congressman John Lewis and author Hank Klibanoff discuss how leaders put their bodies on the line to ensure cameras captured the violence in Selma. Mo Facts suggests this media narrative often obscured the fact that many Black people preferred improved separate facilities over forced integration.
Jeffrey Frank, editor at The New Yorker, discusses the political fallout of Martin Luther King Jr.'s arrest in 1960. While Nixon viewed intervening as "grandstanding," the Kennedy campaign stepped in to help, which shifted the Black vote toward the Democratic Party. Mo Facts questions why MLK initially considered Nixon a friend, leading to an investigation into their early relationship.
Mo Facts unearths a 1957 photograph of MLK and Richard Nixon meeting in Accra, Ghana, during the country's independence celebration. The photo, taken by Griffith J. Davis, was kept from the public for decades due to its potential volatility. The hosts note Davis's background as a foreign service officer for USAID, a frequent channel for intelligence operations.
Mo Facts plays a clip from Chronicles of Judah 144, which argues that the image of Martin Luther King Jr. is used by white liberals as a "trigger" to control Black Americans. The segment suggests MLK was a pawn used to bring Black people into the fold of globalism and communism. Mo speculates that Griffith J. Davis may have been an asset assigned to keep MLK within the parameters of American capitalism.
