On Jan. 17, 1961, outgoing President Dwight Eisenhower gave the most important speech of his lifetime, warning his fellow citizens that the greatest threat to our democracy and our values was not a foreign foe, but the expanding power of our homegrown military-industrial complex. If unchecked, he predicted this cabal would transform our nation from the world’s exemplary democracy into a militarized plutocracy. The assassinations of my uncle, my father, Dr. King and Malcolm X were four of the great traumas that pushed America off its historical path of idealism and onto the trajectory of imperialism abroad and a national security state at home. Mountains of undeniable proof now support involvement by U.S. military, intelligence and police agencies in those murders — and their subsequent cover-ups. The process of recovering our national idealism must begin with an effort to acknowledge the truth about these assassinations.
