“REVEREND RAT” AND THE NEW PROMISE LAND (Part 2, “The arrival of Reverend Rat”) The civil rights movement, noted as taking place under Dr. King’s leadership, between 1955 and 1968, had a different focus than what has been attributed to it, in the aftermath of Dr. King’s death. There was, indeed, a change in Dr. King’s own focus, after a decade of leading the civil rights movement, which took place after passage of the Voting Rights Bill, in 1965. Passage of this bill caused a shift in King’s emphasis, away from the civil rights movement, necessitated by the fact that this bill, ironically enough, placed a seal on the civil rights movement’s mission. The bill’s passage was the civil rights movement’s death knell. Practically everyone, in the country, has been exposed to reports of Dr. King being in Memphis, at the time he was struck down by an assassin’s bullet, in 1968, but no writer has pointed out that what placed him there was the voting rights bill, passed in 1965. Dr. King’s civil rights career ended in 1965, three years before his assassination. His presence in Memphis, leading demonstrations, mind you, on behalf of garbage workers, is indicative of the fact that Dr. King was desperately in search of some additional civil rights work to do. Dr. King’s civil rights mission, clearly ended, in 1965. At the time of his death, Dr. King had turned to an entirely different matter, the unintended consequence being the civil rights movement’s present use of the civil rights movements pretended legacy as a tool to be used for all seasons, and for all complaints where race can be inserted into the issue being complained about. What has not been noted is that it is this three year window, between 1965 and 1968, through which Dr. King’s civil rights legacy is viewed as being completed, a view that cannot be sustained, when placed in context, which no writer had done so far, none seeing the context as passage of the above-mentioned bill. It was, of course, a “Johnny-come-lately” act, signed into law by Lyndon Baines Johnson, a repeat performance of Dwight D. Eisenhower’s earlier signature on a similar bill, in 1957, in response to the first “March on Washington,” which took place on May 17, 1957. The little noted “March on Washington, in 1957, was in commemoration of the third anniversary of the Brown vs. Board of Education decision, rendered by the Supreme Court, May 17, 1954. While standing in the shadows of the Lincoln Memorial, on that occasion, Dr. King called for the ballot, where Dr. King would stand, more notably, 6-years later, when he delivered his “I Have A Dream” speech, which has overshadowed his “Give Us The Ballot” speech, in 1957, not only because of the lofty heights reached by Dr. King’s speech, in 1963, but overshadowed, also, for political reasons. Dr. King’s speech, in 1957, has been deliberately downplayed by the Left, and by civil rights impostors, today, for different, but converging interests, which I will be discussing on the occasion of Dr. King’s 86th birthday observance, which will be held, this year, on January 19. For now, let it be noted that Dr. King’s 1957 speech, in Washington, actually stated the central mission of the civil rights movement, and no understanding of this movement can be complete without understanding that fact. Up to this point, no one has written about the civil rights movement, in that regard, with the above idea in mind, which has created a major distortion in public consciousness about the civil rights movement’s mission, which, in a real sense, is responsible for the hi-jacking of the movement that has taken place, in the aftermath of Dr. King’s death, and. If the truth be told, was even underway, while Dr. King was still alive. Black militants, for instance, had joined the movement, by the mid-1960’s, and had a different view of the movement’s intended trajectory than Dr. King had, and intended to take the movement down a different path, and was actually doing so, at the time of Dr. King’s death. And, as is always the case, and to be expected when movements of this kind are undertaken, there were socialist injections, into the movement, as we are seeing in demonstrations regarding events that took place in Ferguson, and New York, by those seeking more fundamental changes in American society, Karl Marx’s usual blessings being cast upon their embedded gatherings, on such occasions Add to the above, Dr. King’s own civil rights floundering, at the end of his life, and you have the makings of what happened after 1968, which is a total hi-jacking of the civil rights movement, which is a bit more extensive than has been discerned by the general public, or written about by authors who have broached the subject, mainly from the standpoint of what took place after Dr. King’s death on a more peripheral level. Seldom noted is that Dr. King’s legacy has been placed under what amounts to an annual assault banner, which even includes those who engage in community observances each year, not understanding they are paying homage to an impostor who has been put in Dr. King’s place, being used for multiple purposes, rather than the Dr. King, recorded by history, now discarded for political, as well as profiteering, purposes.. Books on the civil rights movement have done an excellent job of framing what happened in various places where civil rights work was done, basically, in southern States, which should be a trigger for understanding the true nature of this movement. But, actually, none of these books on the civil rights movement, and Dr. King’s legacy, have pointed out the centrality of Dr. King’s 1957 speech, to the centrality of the civil rights movement itself. As stated, it is impossible to understand this movement, without understanding that component of the movement, a point I will most certainly take up, and try to develop on January 19, the date, this year, for the national observance of Dr. King’s birth, that took place January 15, 1929. This year marks the 86th year since Dr. King’s birth, as incredible as that might seem since Dr. King’s age will always be his age, at the time of his death, 39 years old, kept forever young, ironically, by his martyrdom. Generally speaking, there is no clear focus on the actual mission of the civil rights movement, today, mostly by design, of a movement that was led by Dr. Martin Luther King, starting, in 1955, with the bus boycott, in Montgomery, Alabama, and ending, for all practical purposes, in 1965, although it is alleged to have ended with Dr. King’s death, in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1968, which, in my opinion, is a claim that is absurd. This vacuum of understanding, in my view, is what has allowed for the hi-jacking of the civil rights movement that has taken place, today, by so-called civil rights leaders, who are little more than hoodlums, and thieves, as well as by the Left, which has hi-jacked the movement for an intended socialist embrace, and an intended connection to an agenda of their own making. This lack of focus on the southern-based mission of the civil rights movement, therefore, has inadvertently helped set the stage for the hi-jacking of the civil rights movement’s mission, by the Left, as well as by opportunists who now claim to be carrying on the civil rights movement’s agenda, an impossibility since its agenda ended, as I have stated, in 1965. In other words, the civil rights movement is over, and victory should have been declared, and would have been declared, by now, if the Left, and civil rights vultures had not arrived on the scene, and stepped up on the national stage, to engage in what is nothing but civil rights theatrics, and socialist misdirection. The former is what has led to the rise of the person whom “The New York Post” referred to as “Reverend Rat,” Al Sharpton. “The New York Post’s” reference was in regards to Sharpton turning on his mob associates when the FBI used a tape of Sharpton seemingly engaged in a drug transaction, which has been alleged to have been used to rope Sharpton into the role of an FBI informant, assigned agent number C1-7, so that Sharpton’s “Rat status” could be concealed. Well, kind of, sort of, because, after all, there is Sharpton out here in public getting people to shoot police officers, and burn their communities down, although feigning surprise, and outrage when it happens, claiming to be clueless that his inflammatory rhetoric would lead to such ends, although it hs never led to anything else. In 1968, Dr. King talked about looking over, and seeing the “Promised Land.” You can trust me on this one: That is a different promised land that is promised by Al Sharpton, and it would be fitting if someone would hand this man some cheese, in keeping with the New York Posts characterization, when he is in front of the next camera. It would also be in keeping with his true role, which has nothing to do with the civil rights movement that ended 22 years before Sharpton perpetrated his first fraudulent claim, in the Tawana Brawley case. All we have been getting from Sharpton every since is promised land with no buildings. That’s what rats do, destroy buildings, the land notwithstanding. Reverend Rat, that about explains it.
