Martin Luther King was above all a truth teller, the ultimate
whistle blower, and we can carry on his legacy by insisting on nothing but the
truth and settling for nothing less than the truth. King was far more than a
moderate reformer ~ King was a change agent who advanced strong policy changes
that went against the grain of the nation’s corporate state, and insisted that
“only by structural change can current evils be eliminated, because the
roots are in the system rather in man or faulty operations”: Allen L Roland
On
Martin Luther King Day, I look for the real King, not the white washed
image portrayed by the main stream press but instead the deeply concerned
revolutionary who knew the real meaning of his Nobel Peace Prize ~ as Paul
Street explains in Popular Resistance ; " Explaining why he had
turned against the Vietnam War, King noted that “a burden of responsibility was
placed upon me in 1964: I cannot forget that the Nobel Prize for Peace was also
a commission ~ a commission to work harder that I had ever worked before for
‘the brotherhood of man.’ This is a calling which takes me beyond national
allegiances …to the making of peace” Read full article:
King
today would be fulfilling his Nobel Prize commission and be working for the
brotherhood of man, not Wall Street and the Corporate State ~ which is why
we celebrate him today and this is what we should expect from fellow Nobel
Peace Prize Laureate Barack Obama ~ and see little visible evidence of.
Watch
this 7 minute video on If Martin Luther King Were Alive Today and
reflect on this great man and his message ~
Darkness cannot drive out
darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate ~ Only love can do
that : Martin Luther King Jr
