I wouldn't say the government, more like Wall Street and the bankers. See MLK was a bit of a economic populist which scared the living daylights out them should MLK ever become a power in the political sphere beyond his agenda for AA's.
He had to die because of this.
See the bankers don't give a flying fuck about social issues, they know the real prize is control of the money and economy. Social issues have always been a red herring in politics. They serve only to distract and divide the people while the boss class carves up the economy.

It's just like you said in another thread, waltc. It's all about the porch monkeys for the rich factor. This group versus that, all provoked and managed by the masters of wealth.

I think it had more to do with the Military/Industrial Complex that Eisenhower warned us about. They saw MLK as a direct threat because by '67 he had shifted his focus away from civil rights and became increasingly anti-war. He was planning a 500,000 people march on DC, so they whacked him. But Wall Street was involved, too.
The Gulf of Tonkin incident was made up, as well. In the documentary "The Fog of War", McNamara admits to making it up. He was near death and probably wanted to get some guilt off his shoulers.
Our gov't has lied to us so many times that no rational person can trust anything they say.

Pres. Johnson said in 1964 that a little war would be good for the economy...
