The holiday for a cheater is once again upon us; a time of infamy when public school children across the United States make obeisance to the secular idol of the new religion, "Rev. Dr." Martin Luther King Jr.
Ronald Reagan, the conservatives' hero, signed the holiday legislation on behalf of a man he personally regarded as immoral and unworthy of the honor. "But," Reagan told a former New England governor with a monumental shrug of the shoulders, "image prevails over reality."
Indeed. It has been conclusively documented that Martin Luther King Jr. cheated to obtain a doctorate, but the national "civil rights" hoax perpetrated in his name must be shielded, and hence he's still "Dr." King.
King's leftist biographer, David J. Garrow, author of the standard reference work, "Bearing the Cross: Martin Luther King Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference," has stated: "Nothing can be gained by attempting to minimize or understate either the amount of King's plagiarism or the seriousness of the academic wrongdoing it represented."
King's plagiarism in his doctoral dissertation at Boston University is not the only academic fraud he perpetrated. Recent scholarship has disclosed that King plagiarized much of the writing of his entire career. The fact is, King cheated in one form or another throughout his life.
The first public sermon King ever gave, in 1947 at Ebenezer Baptist Church, was plagiarized from a homily by Protestant clergyman Harry Emerson Fosdick entitled, "Life is What You Make of It." The first book King ever wrote, "Stride Toward Freedom," was plagiarized according to documentation assembled by King scholars Keith D. Miller, Ira G. Zepp Jr. and David Garrow.
King's essay, "The Place of Reason and Experience in Finding God," written at Crozer Theological Seminary, pirated passages from the work of theologian Edgar S. Brightman. Another of King's theses, written shortly after he entered graduate school at Boston University, "Contemporary Continental Theology," was largely stolen from a book by Walter Marshall Horton.
King's Boston University dissertation, "A Comparison of the Conceptions of God in the Thinking of Paul Tillich and Henry Nelson Wieman," for which he was awarded the PhD. and upon which his title of "Dr." King is based, contains more than "fifty complete sentences" represented by King as his own writings, but which were actually lifted by King, without attribution, from Jack Boozer's doctoral dissertation, "The Place of Reason in Paul Tillich's Concept of God." The four senior editors of "The Papers of Martin Luther King, Jr.," state: "...only 49% of the sentences in the section on Tillich contain five or more words that were King's own..."!
Since the record of King's cheating is irrefutable, how is it that his doctorate has not been withdrawn? On Oct. 10, 1991, a committee of researchers at Boston University admitted, "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." ("Boston University Panel Finds Plagiarism by Dr. King," NY Times, Oct. 11, 1991, p. 15).
The message from the votaries of Kingolatry to their captive audience--the indoctrinated children in America's public schools--is clear-- cheat as you please, and as long as you are politically correct, the Establishment will protect you from the consequences of your fraud.
The King of Adultery
Both Attorney General Robert Kennedy and FBI director J. Edgar Hoover ordered King's rooms bugged with electronic surveillance equipment from 1963 onward. These tapes revealed that King, a married man, used tax-exempt money from his SCLC organization to hire white prostitutes for sex. These tapes were ordered sealed for fifty years by Federal Judge John Smith, Jr. on Jan. 31, 1977. They are scheduled to be released to the public in the year 2027. Some 90 Congressmen urged President Reagan to find out what was on those tapes before he signed the King Holiday into law. But of course, Reagan was well aware of King's notorious string of adulteries.
On the day before his assassination, King spent his last night on earth having sex with two women, neither of whom was his wife, and physically beating a third. (Ralph David Abernathy, "And the Walls Came Tumbling Down," pp. 434-437; NY Times, Oct. 13, 1989, p. 14).
King cheated on his wife for years. He cheated on his graduate school theses. He cheated on his doctoral dissertation. He does not deserve the title Doctor, was not a genuine Christian Reverend and his name isn't even Martin Luther (his real name was Michael; his preacher father, "Daddy" King, announced in 1935 that henceforth his son's name would be Martin Luther. The change was never legalized).
Nevertheless, King is the nationally revered icon of a government system that has reversed the biblical injunction and insists on only having strange gods before us. This is the man our children are taught to emulate from grammar school onward. This is the man feted by our corporations as representing "American excellence."
George Washington's birthday is mostly an excuse to have sales on used cars and furniture. No genuine philosophy or statecraft of Washington is imparted to students in February. In fact, Washington's birthday has been combined with Lincoln's to form a generic "President's Day," which has devolved into a celebration of the office itself, and on occasion, even some of its more recent occupants, such as serial rapist Bill Clinton and nascent Emperor George W. Bush.
Much more than Martin Luther King's sanitized biography is taught at this time of year. In actuality, the secular lib-con religion of "Civil Rights" has become the gospel of the public schools, and children are taught that the formerly immemorial Common Law rights of freedom of association and property (the rights to hire, house and serve whomever one chooses), were the wicked historic grounds for "racism and hate."
The annual, ritual intellectual and spiritual child abuse embodied in the King holiday, was made possible by that other secular icon, Ronald "Bonzo" Reagan, who continues to ride tall in the saddle of the blathering conservative talk show hosts, who, in their double-minded dementia, cast Reagan as the last shining knight of the American presidency. This too is a cheat and a fitting appendage of the Holiday for a Cheater which their hero, out of cowardice and compromise, has inflicted on our nation in perpetuity.
