Stri-King Numerical Markers

In his recent post about Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK), Mark astutely highlights key dates as potential “spook markers,” suggesting a deeper significance behind these patterns. Upon examining the deaths of MLK’s relatives, a peculiar trend of noteworthy dates and circumstances undeniably emerges. While I don’t intend to delve as deeply into this topic as Mark has in his excellent analysis, I’d like to share some passing observations for consideration.

A Timeline of Unusual Events Surrounding the King Family

1. MLK’s Grandfather: James Albert King
   MLK’s grandfather, James Albert King—a man reportedly of white descent—passed away in 1933. Though details of his death are sparse, the year itself stands out when viewed in the broader context of this timeline.
2. MLK’s Father: Martin Luther King Sr.
   MLK Sr. died on November 11 (11/11) at the age of 84 in the year 1984—numerical coincidences that are hard to ignore (the age and year both reducing to the number 3). Earlier in his life, in 1969, MLK Sr. experienced a dramatic incident when he was held hostage along with other trustees of Morehouse College by a group of students. Among those students was a young Samuel L. Jackson, who later became a famed actor.
3. MLK’s Mother: Alberta Williams King
   Alberta King was tragically killed on 6/30/74 (9/11), by Marcus Wayne Chenault. Alberta, who was playing “The Lord’s Prayer” on the church organ at the time, became Chenault’s target after he reportedly abandoned an initial plan to assassinate Jesse Jackson. He then considered killing MLK Sr. but ultimately targeted Alberta because “she was nearby”.
4. Chenault later died of a stroke at the age of 44—a number eerily tied to MLK Jr., who was killed on April 4 (4/4).
5. MLK’s Sister: Christine King Farris
   Christine King Farris, born on September 11 (9/11), passed away on June 29—a date that mirrors 9/11 when inverted. Her life and death further contribute to the striking numerical patterns surrounding the King family.
6. MLK’s Brother: Alfred Daniel King
   Alfred Daniel King died just (9) days shy of his 39th birthday, at the age of 38 (11). A bit of a stretch, but could one of these people not have an easily identifiable 33 or 9/11? His death was officially ruled as an accidental drowning, but the circumstances raised questions, even within the King family. MLK Sr. once remarked, “He was a good swimmer. Why did he drown?” Alfred’s widow, Naomi King, was more direct, stating, “There is no doubt in my mind that the system killed my husband. My Boaz was murdered.” However, given Alfred’s lack of interest in stepping into his brother’s political role, some argue that any assassination theory seems unlikely.
7. MLK’s Daughter: Yolanda Denise King
   Yolanda King, MLK Jr.’s eldest daughter, passed away on 5/15, 2007—a date that reduces to the numbers 11 and 9, continuing the trend of symbolic dates. In her lifetime, Yolanda collaborated with Attallah Shabazz, the eldest daughter of Malcolm X, on a theatrical project just months after their first meeting in 1979. Yolanda also acted in films alongside RaeVen Larrymore Kelly, for whom she was a godmother. Her stage work, particularly in the play “Achieving the Dream,” showcased her talent for embodying multiple roles through costume changes, voice modulation, and body language. It appears her mother? could do the same.

Closing Thoughts

As an overarching observation, the King family’s narrative is interwoven with unusual dates, theatrical aspirations, and intriguing connections. While society often views organized crime as laundering money through industries like construction or sanitation, it raises the question: Could similar practices occur within more “respectable” institutions, such as the “King Center for Nonviolent Social Change” or the “Southern Christian Leadership Conference”? God forbid.
