ttorney William Pepper befriended Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) in the last year of King’s life (1967-1968). It was William Pepper’s emotionally disturbing Vietnam photographs and personal recollections while a journalist there, shared with Dr. King, which were the impetus for MLK’s choice to begin strongly opposing the Vietnam War.
Many years after the 1968 murder of Martin Luther King Jr., the King family asked William Pepper to lead a legal effort on their behalf focused on finally revealing the truth of how MLK died. After talking for three (3) hours in prison to the publicly perceived, alleged “lone shooter” James Earl Ray, Mr. Pepper agreed to help the King family. After talking to Ray, he became convinced James Earl Ray was innocent.
The ensuing civil trial took place in Memphis, Tennessee and included over 70 witnesses; the jury finalized the trial in 1999. After all the testimonies and legal arguments ended, the jury returned a judgment declaring MLK was killed as a result of a secret government/state-sponsored assassination conspiracy – as occurred on 9/11, an “inside job”. Martin Luther King Jr. died in 1968, killed by a group that organized their covert operation from inside the U.S. government.
The history books America’s grades K-12 students are reading today in 2017, eighteen years after the Memphis trial, still record James Earl Ray as the lone killer of Martin Luther King Jr.. An unacceptable and major historical error, misinforming millions of young people nationwide about real events, has been somehow ignored and perpetuated.

William Pepper served as one of the moderators during the September 2016 conference in New York City – “9/11 Justice in Focus”. During his short address to the participants and attendees he drew a parallel between his experience and the ongoing, difficult efforts to reach the truth about 9/11. The time between the murder of Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968 and the Memphis civil trial in 1999 amounted to thirty-one (31) years, certainly a very long wait, but fortunately the truth was eventually uncovered.
The murder of MLK and the false flag terror events on 9/11 differ from the standpoint of time elapsed before truth finally becomes known. William Pepper didn’t begin the legal effort on behalf of the King family until the 1980-81 time frame, some 12-13 years after the crime. In the case of 9/11, in the first place the number of men and women who started looking into the events of that day were many, and so the push for truth was not dependent on one attorney. Second, in contrast to William Pepper’s experience, the investigative and research work began immediately, the next day on September 12, 2001.
Imagining a comparative mathematical analysis taking all contributing factors into consideration – number of people involved in investigations, total hours devoted to research, public awareness, etc. – leads one to understand the combined force or energy behind efforts to solve 9/11 add up to a vastly greater level than the power William Pepper had behind him and his associates. To put it another way, the challenges – in the form of those who planned and carried out the mass murder deception – presented to those determined to get to the truth about 9/11 are enormous and unprecedented, while at the same time moral force for justice has grown steadily, and become powerful enough now to decisively turn the tide.
William Pepper, his close friends and associates in the 9/11 Justice movement, and millions more everywhere on Earth are absolutely correct when stating 9/11 opened the way for “a paradigm of endless war”. The accuracy of the assertion has been proven repeatedly in the sixteen (16) years since September 11, 2001, continuously and unceasingly through wars and violence up until today.
Perhaps the time has come for something new on Earth: “a paradigm of endless peace” – and the manifested completion of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream.
A real investigation of 9/11 can place humanity on the truly blessed path of peace.

THE ONENESS of HUMANITY 
We of the “Evil Empiire” are entering the time of truth is stranger than fiction. Much can develop during the implosion of a global empire, much that is totaly unexpected. The old patterns of attack and reaction no longer hold. Americans (and Canadians, or “Americanadians”) still insist on believing they are living in functioning democracies- it’s so much easier to live with the delusion and ignore painful and disturbing facts. Even if it is proved conclusively that 9-11 was an inside job, run from CIA headquarters and backed by the White House, without a functioning justice system little will come of it.
Can “we” go back now? Undo the horrors of that day, and subsequently in Iraq and subsequently after, the Middle East and large parts of Africa? Can we silence the drums of war, recall the dogs, put the money and resources back into the pockets of the individual nations that were despoiled and destroyed? Mark my words Jerry, this steamroller is going ahead. Americanadians have their heads so far up their butts they would reject the truth if it slapped them twice and hard acoss the face. If they were told conclusively that 9-11 was a Deep State inside job they’d have an Archie Bunker rebuttal, a counter argument ready (with help from MS Media) and become even more belligerent. I’ve read stories of how most German people reacted to talks of “surrender” or getting rid of Hitler circa 1943 when it was obvious the 3rd Reich was morally, then militarily, finished. I’d like to be more “positive” about all this, but it would be like a kid who can’t swim looking at the deep end of the pool and saying, “It’s only 3 feet deep, really.” and jumping in… to drown.

Sha’Tara,
While fully understanding your perspective and legitimate expressions of pessimism after 16 years of a real life “Catch 22” nightmare regarding 9/11, after listening to attorneys in Lawyers Committee for 9/11 Inquiry discuss the options, the possibility of successfully taking down the criminals might be more favorable than imagined. One can see a great and extremely dangerous type of race between 9/11 justice and world war taking place, making it even more vital for people to support the legal team, and accelerate efforts in any way possible. Keep the faith.
Thank you.
Peace.
