He was instrumental in destroying the black community. It was part of the larger scheme at work, including the assassination of Kennedy. I have this info from a former agency operative, who covert in Nam and later in Eastern Europe, although he admits some details are fuzzy even to those in the “agencies”. But the story is all quite simple really.

Phase one “The red menace”:

There was obviously some existing poverty disparity already, and because of this some early black movements were becoming influenced by socialist powers. The establishment was utterly terrified at having an instant mob at the hands of communist influence, so welfare and projects were implemented to dampen any potential commie radicalization within the community. At the same time the government wanted to introduce the draft, to backfill the troops going to Nam. The welfare/project system would help alleviate a main casualty of war, which is impoverished widows and children, look at the timing of both welfare legislation and when the draft started.

Phase two “Return of the Chain Gang”:

There was no specific plan to asymmetrically draft blacks, it was more about targeting the poor and those with criminal backgrounds …after all, cannon fodder is cannon fodder. The serendipitous moment came when heroin flooded into America, and caused a deeper wave of crime an poverty in the black neighborhood – and to a much smaller degree some poor white communities. This caused such a surge of offenders who went back to Nam to avoid prison or get paroled early, it unintentionally turned into a cycle of repeat offenders. The powers allowed a passive policy of allowing a situation not unlike the old chain gangs of the south, which got free labor by exploiting the poverty->crime->prison->repeat cycle. And we know certainly, one way or another the black population always gets f~~~ed hardest by that scam unfortunately.

And MLK was in fact assassinated by one of the agencies, most likely the CIA. His movement was being heavily influenced by communist interests in those later years, he even wrote in his memoirs about the dilemma of them infiltrating his cause, there was real possibility of them becoming a problem that he could not control – and may have to give in to them somewhat. The agencies simply could not allow this, the rest is history.
