Global Research Displays Shoddy Research

A conspiracy-type site GlobalResearch has a piece titled “Propaganda, Disinformation and Dirty Tricks: James Earl Ray Was Innocent of the Assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.” It uses the usual dubious argumentative style and cites the fabricated Goebbels quotation as evidence that the “Deep State” is involved in all sorts of dreadful things.  The conspiracy allegedly involved:

Deep State operatives such as the afore-mentioned highly secretive conspiratorial groups such as the CIA, the infamous J Edgar Hoover, Hoover’s equally infamous and very racist FBI at the time, the Pentagon, the US military’s sniper squads, the racist Memphis Police Department, the Mafia, assorted war-profiteers, the mainstream media, and many elected and non-elected officials that exist at every level of government.

I’m always surprised at that those who believe that such a massive conspiracy involving thousands of people could be concealed.  That many people could keep the secret?  Truly, the “Deep State” must have astonishing control over its participants.

As usual, a site that assumes anything it finds on the Internet must be true should be disregarded.
