This World is full of the HUNGRY. In fact, most of you I contact are in some way short on resources. I am hungry and this compels me to Fight. Economic depravity is Not new or unique to this current Crisis. DEPRESSIONS HAVE BEEN ARTIFICIALLY CREATED again and again throughout history by those who have used an UNFAIR system of currency (money) as invisible Chains enslaving the vast Majority of the Worlds Population. Our enemies are Not nameless or faceless. They are Not shadow men. They are the worlds BANKERS, the Rothschild's, Rockefeller's and many other families, individuals and corporations who are Responsible for the largest Fraud ever executed, Robbing the world of our Natural Resources and leaving us a Starving, Distressed, Traumatized and Confused society. We have been made into Cattle that serves and feeds a tiny Minority with NO LEGITIMATE RIGHT TO RULE. It is time to Rise Up and Demand the End. The Emcee has more than a 9 thousand year known history as Teachers of Knowledge through Divine Connections and Transference of Information. Hip hop is as Old as Humanity and far older still, we who are anointed have a Responsibility. Scientists have finally acknowledged the Existence of the 11th Dimension and PARALLEL UNIVERSES (google parallel universes). All of Reality is Connected by Vibrating Strings (like a web) in a Sea of incomprehensible Vastness. We are incredibly Powerful Beings, the Truth will set us Free. Let us take our Fate into our own Hands by removing the False authority of the ruling elite. To do this we must search inside ourselves and Commune with the Spirit World to learn our individual parts we are Destined to play in an action of Ancient Magic being used for the Greatest Revolution ever to be on Earth. Through this we will no longer be confined to Earth or even our Universe. Many things are to come. Deep Love, Smoke Signals, Tsunami
