How do you drown in a swimming pool? Only little kids who are unsupervised and do not know how to swim drown in swimming pools? Did someone mysterious push him in and the hold his head down? The parallels between the escalation in the police killings of black and brown men that are mathematically working out to about one a week and Rodney King dying is a little unsettling --- More so, if the movement was thinking of bringing King back into the dialogue ....

LMAO, my twitter followers are all over the world right now googling Rodney Kings death. I'll have to give them all time to catch up. They're probably translating pages and all kinds of chit right now.

I have been out of touch for a while - I think I recall now hearing of Kings passing a few years back. When I saw the headline I thought it was recent - but if you ask me, I think Kings drowning is probably a "pre-emotive strike" - so that when the NWO signaled to the police in race tense cities and communities to start militarizing and targeting scapegoats to start the race war that NWO is egging on in US - King had to be taken out of the way. This would have to be done to prevent a " rallying hero" to emerge who successfully won his excessive use of force law suit - which has been virtually impossible to this day.

Also, note that the race baiting war escalated in the media AFTER Obama was in the second term and a lame duck so to speak. Where in even his "presidential power" as a black president would be impotent. I think Eric Holder did a great job with exposing the inherent racism in Ferguson, but this is just the tip of the iceberg and he is leaving office ... And once again, this effort to shed some light on racism in America will hang fire - when the plutocrats pack up Obama and move him out and put Jeb Bush back at the center of the NWO HQ.

My question is - who do these NWO facilititors, like police officers and government bureaucrats, think will protect them when they are no longer useful to their NWO nightmare agenda? This type of POWER (NWO) does not share - one is either one of them (very few per 100,000) or one of US/us.

At this time, my refuge is in my heart and mind. It gets lonely but at least I feel free - and why I am happy to have connected with like minded people here. I think the NWO agenda is to keep us isolated and in an invisible prison. We are living in a prison without walls and locked in without keys. If we gather in groups, we become suspect.

.. I so pray in my heart of hearts that something HUGE happens (a force of nature) that bring humanity back to its senses and reminds us that we are all in the same boat. No one is going to win this world war game... So what is the point?
