Happy Birthday Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.!!

Happy Birthday Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.!!

Dear Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,

My name is Tony Whitcomb. I am a forty-five year old, African
American Social Entrepreneur, Founder and CEO, of a Internet
start-up called, Expotera and on this very special day in our
Nation's History, I personally not only want to wish you a very,
"Happy Birthday" but I also want to humbly present you with this
Open Letter, as well as a Silent Prayer, on behalf of our Country,
and on behalf of the American People.

Dr. King, in 2008 our Country made history by electing the very first African/American, President of the United States, a False Prophet
among the People, by the name of, Barack Obama.

Since officially being sworn into the highest office in the land back
on January 20, 2009, Mr. Obama, and his fellow Elitist Connivers,
out in Washington D.C., and very dark places elsewhere, have now
managed to plunge our Nations economy into a very, very, deep
recession/depression, that can now only be historically described
and compared to, "The Great Depression" which began back in 1929
and lasted until the early 1940s.

Dr. King, during your lifetime, you gave an infinite number of
famous, passionate, historical, inspirational, truthful and quite
memorable, sermons and speeches, and on May 17, 1957 during
your, "Give Us The Ballot" Address in Washington D.C., you
delivered the following statements in your closing message to
your audience, and to the American People:

"I conclude by saying that each of us must keep faith in the future.
Let us not despair. Let us realize that as we struggle for justice and
freedom, we have cosmic companionship. This is the long faith of
the Hebraic-Christian tradition: that God is not some Aristotelian
Unmoved Mover who merely contemplates upon Himself. He is not
merely a self-knowing God, but an other-loving God forever working
through history for the establishment of His kingdom."

"And those of us who call the name of Jesus Christ find something of
an event in our Christian faith that tells us this. There is something
in our faith that says to us, Never despair; never give up; never feel
that the cause of righteousness and justice is doomed. There is
something in our Christian faith, at the center of it, which says to us
that Good Friday may occupy the throne for a day, but ultimately it
must give way to the triumphant beat of the drums of Easter."

"There is something in our faith that says evil may so shape events
that Caesar will occupy the palace and Christ the cross, but one day
that same Christ will rise up and split history into A.D. and B.C., so
that even the name, the life of Caesar must be dated by his name."

"There is something in this universe which justifies Carlyle in
saying: "No lie can live forever."

"There is something in this universe which justifies William
Cullen Bryant in saying: "Truth crushed to earth will rise again."

"There is something in this universe which justifies James Russell
Lowell in saying: "Truth forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever on
the throne. Yet that scaffold sways the future, And behind the dim
unknown Stands God, within the shadow, Keeping watch above His own."

Dr. King, our current President and his fellow morally, as well as
spiritually corrupt, Politicians in Washington D.C., may publicly
invoke your name and may choose to quote you from time to time,
especially when it is politically expedient and/or convenient, but
privately, all of them to a person, now subscribe and adhere to
the political teachings and philosophy of one Joseph Goebbels.

Mr. Goebbels was a German politician and Reich Minister of
Propaganda in Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945. He was one
of Adolf Hitlers closest associates and most devout followers
and in an article that was written back on January 12, 1941,
Mr. Goebbels stated the following, which I believe pretty much
sums up, "The State of Our Union" here in America, in 2011:

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will
eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for
such time as the State can shield the people from the political,
economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes
vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress
dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by
extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

Dr. King, in your 1967, "Trumpet of Conscience" Lectures for the
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, you delivered the following
statement and message to President Lyndon B. Johnson, and to
the American People:

"Somehow this madness must cease. We must stop now."

"I speak as a child of God and brother to the suffering poor
of Vietnam."

"I speak for those whose land is being laid waste, whose homes
are being destroyed, whose culture is being subverted."

"I speak for the poor in America who are paying the double price
of smashed hopes at home and death and corruption in Vietnam."

"I speak as a citizen of the world, for the world as it stands aghast
at the path we have taken."

"I speak as an American to the leaders of my own nation. The great
initiative in this war is ours. The initiative to stop it must be ours."

Dr. King, in your honor and in your loving memory, and on behalf of
our Country and the American People, and on behalf of all of the
incredibly brave and extremely courageous, Men and Women of the
United States Military, I now wish to directly quote you, with a few
new adaptations for 2011, in telling our current, less than brave,
as well as less than courageous, President and Politicians, in
Washington D.C., the following:

"Somehow this madness must cease. All of you must stop now!"

"I speak as a child of God and brother to the suffering poor of
Afghanistan and Iraq."

"I speak for those whose land is being laid waste, whose homes
are being destroyed, whose culture is being subverted."

"I speak for the poor and for the middle-class, in America who are
now paying the double price of smashed hopes at home and death
and corruption in both Afghanistan and Iraq.

"I speak as a citizen of the world, for the world as it stands aghast
at the path all of you have now taken."

"I speak as an American Citizen, to the deeply entrenched, selfish,
greedy and arrogant, false leaders, of my own nation. The great
initiative in these wars is yours. The initiative to stop it must be
yours!"

Dr. King, I now wish to humbly conclude this very sincere, "Happy
Birthday" wish to you, Open Letter and Silent Prayer, on behalf of
our Country, and on behalf of the American People, by quoting one
last direct statement from your, "Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos
or Community" Lectures for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation:

I am quite respectfully replacing the word, "Negro" in the very
first sentence of your statement below with the words, "Poor"
and, "Middle-Class" because here in America in 2011, the poor
and the middle-class, are all now considered by, "The Powers
To Be" as the new, modern-day, "Negro's" of the 21st century:

"Being poor and middle-class, in America in 2011, means trying to
smile when you want to cry. It means trying to hold on to physical
life amid psychological death."

"It means the pain of watching your children grow up with clouds of
inferiority in their mental skies. It means having your legs cut off,
and then being condemned for being a cripple."

"It means seeing your Mother and Father spiritually murdered by
the slings and arrows of daily exploitation, and then being hated
for being an orphan."

Dr. King, may you continue to rest in eternal grace and everlasting
peace, and may God, Bless America and the American People, in
spite of our highly dysfunctional, false idol worshiping, Government
and it's lowly criminal, false idol worshiping, Corporate enablers.

Sincerely,

Tony E. Whitcomb
Founder/CEO Expotera
