As headlines swirl with rumors about Jeffrey Epstein’s “client list,” the American public is once again being led into the media circus of speculation, memes, and political baiting. But let’s be clear: the Epstein drama, as salacious and disturbing as it may be, has become a convenient distraction from a much more consequential truth—one the federal government has tried to bury for over 50 years: Who really killed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.?
On July 21, 2025, the Trump administration declassified over 230,000 pages of files related to Dr. King’s 1968 assassination. These documents included long-sealed FBI memos, CIA records, and details from the covert MURKIN investigation. This move came under Executive Order 14176, signed in January, mandating the release of documents related to the assassinations of MLK, JFK, and RFK.
What those files reveal isn’t just of historical interest—they are evidence of a coordinated, state-sanctioned campaignto surveil, discredit, destabilize, and ultimately eliminate one of the most powerful voices for justice in American history. This wasn’t passive observation. It was strategic warfare. And now that the files are public, we must go further. We need to know the names—the specific individuals in the CIA, FBI, or any elected office who signed off on the plan to neutralize Dr. King. Who gave the orders? Who authorized the surveillance? Who coordinated the psychological operations? And ultimately—who made the call to kill him?
The same FBI that now postures as a guardian of civil rights once labeled Dr. King a threat to national security. He was stalked, wiretapped, psychologically harassed, and sent anonymous blackmail letters urging him to commit suicide. This wasn’t the work of fringe racists. This was the United States government. And the question that still haunts these files is whether the government or its proxies were directly involved in King’s death.
Yet the mainstream media’s response to the release of these records? Minimal. Tepid. Evasive.
Instead, they pivot back to Jeffrey Epstein—an admitted sex trafficker whose suicide conveniently closed the case just before trial. They replay old photos of Trump at Mar-a-Lago, repeat tired speculation, and treat the phrase “Epstein client list” like a hashtag rather than a legal reality.
Let’s pause right here.
Even Epstein’s own lawyers have stated there was never a formal client list. The Department of Justice, under both Democratic and Republican administrations, has confirmed this in writing. And just this week, Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen—his enemy, not his ally—stated publicly that in 11 years of working side-by-side with Trump, he never once saw or heard the name Jeffrey Epstein. Not in the office. Not on the phone. Not in Trump’s world.
If Trump were on some client list, you can be sure it would’ve been leaked, weaponized, and plastered on CNN by now. The media had no problem slandering Trump with half-truths and anonymous sources for seven straight years. But suddenly they’re protecting the integrity of redacted court filings?
The Epstein spectacle has become a distraction masquerading as accountability. It’s political theater. Meanwhile, the actual documents proving the government’s psychological warfare and surveillance on a peaceful civil rights leader barely make the news crawl.
We’ve waited decades for transparency, and when it finally arrives, the country changes the channel. Why? Because the real truth is more uncomfortable than any island scandal.
Bernice King herself called for the release of the Epstein files—but we must be cautious not to fall into the trap of moral equivalence. The destruction of Black leadership through COINTELPRO, the suspicious circumstances around Dr. King’s death, and the ongoing suppression of truth are not tabloid stories. They are the foundation of distrust in this country’s institutions.
The public deserves full disclosure—not just about Epstein, but about the assassination of Dr. King, the government’s role, and why it took over 50 years to admit what many Black Americans already knew in their bones.
Let’s stop chasing shadows and start demanding truth.
The question isn’t just who Epstein trafficked.
It’s who silenced the dream.
Emotional Politics — Logical Failure is the book you need.
In this bold and unfiltered work, Damon K. Jones delivers the hard truths many are afraid to say out loud: Black America has been loyal to a system that has failed to deliver. We’ve mastered symbolism but forfeited strategy. We show up to vote, but not to fund. We speak out, but rarely build. And the result? Speeches instead of solutions. Visibility instead of victory.
This book is not about left or right. It’s about logic over emotion. Power over performance. It’s a call to wake up, re-strategize, and use our political currency with purpose.
If you’re tired of being used, overlooked, and sold out—this book is your blueprint for change. Your voice is powerful. Your vote is valuable. But your money, your mindset, and your political clarity are what will make the difference.
Read the book. Share the message. Challenge the tradition. And let’s finally start getting what we pay for
