Rodney King (Netflix Trailer)
April 17, 2017
Spike Lee with another Joint. Can you believe it has been 25 years since the uprising over the “Rodney King” verdict (that exonerated the LAPD cops that beat the F**K out of him)? Given recent events, you likely think:Â ‘Damn. It has been 25 years since we thought the police beatdowns should have been over… and they STILL aren’t over.’ Watch this trailer and get ready for another hot-blooded summer, courtesy of Netflix and Spike Lee.
His story shook the world and lit LA on fire. Now it comes to life in a powerful one-man show.
Compelling presentation & performance by Roger Guenveur Smith.

L. Ron Hubbard’s Great-Grandson Spills The Family Secrets Detailing How Scientology Started (Video)
January 13, 2014
One of my personal philosophies is to ‘Question Everything’. I’m not a person who is big on religion, but I’m big on Karma, love, & spirituality. This story from the great-grandson of L. Ron Hubbard should remind people to keep thinking for themselves in every aspect.
“You wanna know how you really get rich? Start a religion.”
– Jamie DeWolf, recalling the words of his great-grandfather L. Ron Hubbard (Founder of Scientology)
