Imagine transcription: An image of Light Yagami, Misa Amane, and L from Death Note on a fiery background. The caption reads: “Did you know, in the anime ‘Death Note’ for copyright reasons, the milk has to be spelt ‘MLK’ on the cartons? Google ‘MLK Death Note’ to find out more!”. End transcription.
MLK: Racism and segregation is pretty bad, actually
Feds:
Ironic.
Especially considering the first attempted assassination of MLK came from a schizophrenic black woman who was never allowed to talk to the press after she left federal custody, and the assassination attempt came in the middle of the MK Ultra tests. Favorite test subjects: Disenfranchised schizophrenics.
Oh man I didn’t actually know about this, it’s enormously fucked up and absolutely unsurprising.
Can you explain?
It’s reasonably safe to Google, it’s about this letter where the FBI encourage Martin Luther King Jr. to commit suicide, using particularly abusive, dehumanising and degrading language. The content of the letter isn’t necessarily hard to read the if you want to read it, particularly as it didn’t work, but it’s still bad to know that this was an official government plot.
Is there something I’m missing, or is this letter nothing more than an old-timey version of modern internet comments and conservative “LGBTQ+ people are somehow pedophiles!” claims that are as outlandish as they are unfounded? Like, how is claiming a reverend has secret massive orgies he’s clearly not having going to get him to kill himself? He probably just read this, said “Well that’s a load of nonsense.” and threw it away without another thought.
They also sent him recordings of the supposed orgies, and were trying to blackmail him. So if he really was having orgies, it would have been pretty bad for his personal life and reputation. The tape recordings are sealed until 2027.

Huh, that’s interesting. Though, how do you pick MLK specifically out of a recording of an orgy, let alone definitively enough for it to be damning to his reputation?
True. And I feel like it would also be hard to tell if it’s actually an orgy. Could have just been a dinner buffet and the food is really, really good. Or maybe he was just watching adult films with the homies.
I’m guessing it wasn’t actually damning enough tho, according to wiki, “King’s wife Coretta Scott said the tapes comprised only ‘mumbo jumbo’”. And they didn’t end up releasing the tapes. Maybe we’ll see for ourselves in a couple years tho

But they were writing the letter under the guise of just being some guy. I’d believe the government could make the public think I’m some sexual deviant, but not a random person writing a letter to me.

Ohh, thank you kindly
If someone’s shooting at you, you must be following the right clues.
If FBI is shooting at you, you’re about to crack open something big.
This is why it’s wierd that Putin signs all his wetwork. It totally reveals he has scandals worth burying.
It’s so people fear him, not to hide the truth.

I’ve looked around but can’t find anything. Source?
Surely with it being a Japanese anime, the milk containers wouldn’t have English text on them but rather be in Japanese - which might make it harder for me to Google to find an article discussing it, as it’s probably not written up in English.
Are you joking?
Every time there is a “Google xy” it is usually porn or sth.
Someone else figured it out.
