I treat MLK Day like every other Monday: I take the trash to the curb and let it rot there until Tuesday. It is a fitting symbol of the “content of his character,” for King was a vicious fraud and operator who, in death, was turned into the whitewashed saint of America’s egalitarian civil religion.
Over the years, Counter-Currents has published or republished a number of important articles grappling with the lies and cant surrounding King’s life and legacy.
Among them are:
- Beau Albrecht, “The FBI Sheds Light on Who Martin Luther King Really Was.”

I remember his picture alongside with those of Nelson Mandela and Malcom X looking at me back in my school days, here in Poland. This was an english classroom, and those were the ‘heroes’ of our wonderful demo-crazy. The children were all white of course… So much for ‘based’ Poland…
Learning about the true story of Nelson Mandela as adult was eye opening. Watching Blessed Sacrament, the Catholic church and school my mother’s family and I attended turn into Nelson Mandela Elementary School was heart breaking and demoralizing.
I just saw that Sheila Jackson Lee, arguably the second dumbest member of Congress behind Hank Johnson, has introduced legislation that would effectively criminalize criticism of non whites.
(B) at least one of whom published material advancing white supremacy, white supremacist ideology, antagonism based on “replacement theory”, or hate speech that vilifies or is otherwise directed against any non-White person or group, and such published material—
(i) was published on a social media platform or by other means of publication with the likelihood that it would be viewed by persons who are predisposed to engaging in any action in furtherance of a white supremacy inspired hate crime, or who are susceptible to being encouraged to engage in actions in furtherance of a white supremacy inspired hate crime;

What do you think will be the reactions, if any, to this lunatic proposal? Criticism effectively meaning arrest. Cause it’s become extremely frustrating and burdensome to heavy hearts, the expectation of the usual mass disinterest, the feeble flag-waving and counter-signalings to nowhere year after year after year. And now this.
Hopefully it will be laughed out of Congress. If not, don’t tell anyone that I called Sheila Jackson Lee dumb.
I must confess to you Greg that I have stolen the rotting garbage line from you on numerous occasions. I didn’t think you’d mind.
It is a good line.
Memes are made to be stolen. Godspeed.
I recognize the King’s birthday. I thought they were celebrating Elvis’s birthday, so that’s what I observe.
Well, today is John Carpenter’s birthday and he directed a biopic about Elvis starring Kurt Russell, so cheers to John, Kurt and Elvis.
Martin Lucifer Koon…as some of us (and not a few) may say. It’s almost funny that in the age of Biden a statue remembering King was displayed in Boston. It is an enormous monstrosity of what looks like hands grabbing a penis, all in brown. Looking from afar, I’m reminded of a long shot of the star of the film Tarantula, although the tarantula looked much more attractive.
Naturally, it was sculpted (if you can call it that) by a black. This is surely Jim Goad territory, so I don’t mean to be stepping in on his turf, but it is another reminder that everything is just falling apart, and perhaps the holy King is one of them.
Blacks, like that ranting Lee, are showing a complete uselessness. I need not remind all that Johnson, on the Jan. 6 Committee trying to root out sedition, was the same dumb cluck who, as a Congressman, worried that our putting thousands of extra troops on Guam might sink the island.
You just wait for the something that will send everything crashing down on this tent show called America.
