ABROAD AT HOME; THE REAL REAGAN

For all his years in the spotlight, Ronald Reagan is a puzzle to most of us. What goes on under that genial surface? We got a rare insight at his press conference last week when the President spoke about Martin Luther King Jr. It was a moment of chilling self-revelation.

Dr. King's meaning to this country - the reason both Houses of Congress have voted to make his birthday a national holiday - is not hard to grasp. The Wall Street Journal said Dr. King shared with Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill the ability ''to rouse a people from a state of despair that posed a serious threat to their societies.'' The editorial went on:

''Black U.S. citizens were not 'free' in the same sense that white U.S. citizens were free. The subject doesn't require elaboration. Everyone now knows it was true, and the reason they know it was true is that Martin Luther King made America see it.''

Opposing the King holiday was Jesse Helms, the nastiest man in the United States Senate, an embarrassment even to his conservative colleagues. As an argument, Senator Helms offered the product of what it would be kind to call J. Edgar Hoover's senile dementia: the charges that Dr. King was pro-Communist. And Senator Helms demanded access to files of this garbage, sealed by court order until the year 2027. That was the situation at the time of the press conference. ''Mr. President,'' a reporter asked, ''Senator Helms has been saying on the Senate floor that Martin Luther King Jr. . . . was a Communist sympathizer. Do you agree?''

''We'll know in about 35 years, won't we?'' That was Mr. Reagan's unforgettable answer: a nudge and a wink when dignity was necessary - and easy. He went on to say that he did not ''fault Senator Helms's sincerity.'' He had nothing to say about what Dr. King accomplished.

It could have been James Watt talking, so grotesquely inappropriate was Mr. Reagan's flippant tone. What we saw in that moment, putting it most generously, was a man utterly insensitive to the issues Dr. King raised and to the human feelings involved. We saw, under the geniality, a void.

The incident also went far to define Mr. Reagan's political instincts. His main concern in answering was political. And it was not to hold the conservative high ground, to help Republican leaders like Bob Dole and Howard Baker who had fought for the King holiday. His heart lay with Jesse Helms and the radical right. None of this is really surprising, given the views that Mr. Reagan has spread on the record in the past. But hardly anyone knows the record. It is one of the most amazing aspects of his political genius that he became President with very little public awareness of his expressed beliefs. A book to be published next month sheds much light on the Reagan record. It is ''On Reagan: The Man and His Presidency,'' by Ronnie Dugger. Mr. Dugger got one important source that the Reagan people had tried to suppress: transcripts of many of the punchy five-minute radio broadcasts that Mr. Reagan gave five days a week from 1975 to 1979. And Mr. Dugger goes back earlier. On the day of Dr. King's funeral in 1968, Mr. Reagan said that his death was ''a great tragedy that began when we began compromising with law and order and people started choosing which laws they'd break.'' In short, Mr. Reagan used the occasion to associate Dr. King's death with his campaign to arouse Americans to the evil of racism by civil disobedience. The theme of Communist conspiracy has also been a Reagan constant. In a 1978 radio broadcast he said that ''known members of terrorist organizations and even Communist Party members cannot only become civil servants in government but can rise to the most sensitive government positions.'' In another broadcast he spoke of people opposed to nuclear power. It was a ''fact,'' he said, ''that behind the scenes they are being manipulated by forces sympathetic to the Soviet Union.'' On the radio in 1978 he quoted some gutter journalism to denigrate Orlando Letelier, the former Chilean Ambassador killed by a bomb in Washington. He said Mr. Letelier had ''systematically taken advantage of the human rights impulses of liberal members of Congress'' to get legislation passed limiting aid to governments that brutalize their people. He criticized what he called a ''hard-line human rights campaign.'' Or there is Mr. Reagan on poverty. In another 1978 broadcast he mocked government help for the poor, playing out an imaginary scene between one Smedley and his boss. Smedley asked for a pay cut so he could get an apartment in fancy housing for the poor. ''Smedley,'' asked his boss, ''will you invite me over for tennis and a swim?'' No one who reads Mr. Dugger's illuminating book will be surprised again at the insensitivity of Ronald Reagan.

The best way to protect yourself from an assassination attempt is to limit the public information about your location. Never disclose your address to anybody, including the government. If you are supposed to be at an event, you should stay at a hotel that is two hours away in another town. In the case of Dr. King, they used the fact that the newspapers published his location to provide a plausible reason for James Earl Ray to find him. They will know your location at all times with their illegal surveillance but they need a plausible reason to know where you are located such as being printed in the newspaper.

Use an area code on your phone for a location that is completely different to where you are physically located. Note anybody that tries to pressure information about your location to them or the type of scheme that they use to get that information.

One of the first things I do when reviewing a murder or assassination is to look at prior setups like that. For example, OJ double homicide set up is eerily similar to the killings of the civil rights workers in Mississippi. White supremacist ideology believes that Jews are trying to undermine white race through civil rights, through the act of murder they want to publicly display this connection.

I noticed a couple of facts that are overlooked by other people reviewing the assassination attempt. One was the publication of his location in the newspaper, that allowed James Earl Ray to set up in his sniper nest outside his room. Another fact was his dire financial situation, when he died he literally did not have the funds to pay for his own funeral. This led him to make compromises with his security being unable to go to a more upscale and safer hotel, hiring bodyguards.

I noticed this same pattern with this aviation drug mule that was linked to the Iran-Contra affair. Towards the end of Reagan's presidency, he began cleanup work on evidence that could be used against him. He had all these law enforcement agencies raid this guys house who was very wealthy from delivering drugs and guns for the CIA. A high level federal government official intervened and he visited Oliver North who tasked him to collect evidence on the drug cartels by taking pictures to reduce his sentence or gain his freedom. He was actually being set up to get murdered by the government. He took these pictures per their request and they were used by Oliver North on TV (MLK publication of his location). After realizing this drug mule was a snitch, they put a contract on his life.

His house was raided again where they took all of his possessions and financial assets crippling his ability to protect himself. The court gave him a reduced sentence and only required him to complete community service. He was eventually killed by the cartels after being forced to stay in rundown hotels and having no security.

I just finished up the final points of my investigation into his death. It looks like Civil Rights was being used to hide their genocidal campaign against all non whites. A few whites would cloak themselves in it than pass harmful legislation such as crime bills, welfare reform, and free trade. MLK veered off course for some reason, getting involved in a Poor People's campaign and Vietnam, two economic systems which would be disastrous if implemented. The Vietnamese, Cubans, North Koreans, South America, Russia suffered due to us with hostility.

When does it end? How many people have to suffer?

Now they are threatening nuclear weapons against any country acknowledging my work or existence. I have no plans to remain in country for that long. Much the same way any country that interfered in their deranged plans of genocide suffered.

His death is relevant today, it shows you the lengths they will go to get rid of us including going to war with other countries killing millions. Somebody needs to send a peace delegation and talk some sanity into the U.S.

MLK might have knew and was dropping hints in his speeches. He was talking about both at the same time linking the two issues together.

I think their plan was stupid. Many countries has restrictive immigration and don't pretend to be an open country. I guess they sold the U.S. as a place to escape persecution when it is a genocidal extermination of native population.

You can come here but you will be throttled down.
