91. Marrell McCollough - agent provocateur

As both Time Magazine and ABC's Sam Donaldson have revealed since there was an agent provocateur in MLK's inner circle .. Marrell McCollough.

McCollough played a part in fomenting violence during the sanitation strike which forced Dr. King to return to Memphis...

By Jim Douglass

Coretta Scott King testified that her husband had to return to Memphis in early April 1968 because of a violent demonstration there for which he had been blamed. Moments after King upon arriving in Memphis joined the sanitation workers’ march there on [font color=darkred]March 28, 1968[/font], the scene turned violent – [font color=red]subverted by government provocateurs[/font], Lawson said.

Finally .. Marrell McCullough's mission seems to have wrapped up after he confirmed Dr. King's death..

Which now brings us to Merrell McCullough. McCullough was one of the informants masquerading as an Invader. Secretly, he was a police informant who was also connected to the FBI. It turns out that, before the murder, Merrell was introduced to Jowers as a policeman. (p. 184) Right before the assassination, McCullough had been in Jim's Grill meeting with four other men. (p. 188) One of whom was another member of the police force named Lt. Zachery. (p. 204)

One of the extraordinary disclosures made at the trial concerned Sam Donaldson, the reporter who originally broadcast Jowers revelations in 1993. As we will see later, there was a backup hit team in town from military intelligence. We also know from a famous photograph that McCullough immediately ran up to the balcony after King was hit.

In that picture, while others are pointing to where they think the shot came from, [font color=darkred]McCullough appears to be calmly checking King for vital signs[/font] while looking across the way...
