🚨🇺🇸MLK FILES: FBI FEARED “MASSIVE CONVERGENCE” AT INAUGURATION  -  MONITORED EVERYTHING FROM COLLEGE KIDS TO COFFEEHOUSE PEACE GROUPS

FBI Situation Report lays out a coast-to-coast surveillance campaign in fall 1968, anticipating protests, uprisings, and what it called a “major confrontation” in D.C. by Inauguration Day 1969.

The memo tracked draft card returns, high school SDS cells, and peace marches planned by military personnel. 

Agents logged conferences of Indigenous leaders, evangelicals, even police chiefs - all flagged as potential protest flashpoints.

They feared the sentencing of Black Panther Huey Newton could “set off violent action” and claimed Britain was crawling with American student “extremists” planning embassy seizures.

The final warning? A full-blown alert about the Yippies’ planned “Festival of Life” to disrupt the President’s swearing-in.
