Any three-day holiday weekend is cause enough for us to offer subscription deals. But this one, marking the life of Martin Luther King, Jr., who died from a racist assassin’s bullet after a relentless, utterly vile, covert campaign against him by FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, especially moves us at SpyTalk. It’s the kind of secret world we like to roust about in—and would do more of if we had greater financial resources.

Don’t get me wrong: I’m thrilled, even pleasantly shocked, by the tremendous outpouring of subscription support we’ve gotten since we basically launched off a kitchen table with a MacAir in late August, 2020. It now allows us to pay our generous contributors at least not-ridiculous fees.

Journalism costs money. So sign up, please, to help support our efforts. Help us get better, to track down more of the story tips that come our way. Every single dollar goes to the work.

Thank you!
