The Biloxi Sun Herald story includes a link to the Facebook post- which shows a picture of a map of Memphis in the post.

Landon Woodson’s death “from Covid-19” was also reported by the World Socialist Web Site on 9 Oct 2021.
(The death of Teresa Sperry and 2 other children were also cited.)

Perhaps coincidentally, an actor with the same name-Landon Woodson-played the part of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in a play titled, ‘The Mountaintop’ in Ithaca, NY in October 2015, as reported by the Cornell Sun.
4/ web.archive.org/web/2018062100…
“‘The Mountaintop’ is Katori Hall’s account of MLK’s last night alive, on April 3, 1968 (and) takes place in Memphis, TN.”
Another actor plays the part of Ralph Abernathy.
“MLK flirts with a young maid (a fictional character) named Camae.”
5/
“The poignancy of The Mountaintop arises from Hall's characterization of MLK. It is natural to assume that Dr. King lived perfectly by his Christian values, however, (some accounts
suggest) adultery committed by King.
Hall clearly bases her version of MLK on these accounts.”
6/
“Watching MLK smoke, curse and flirt with a young girl may be shocking to some, yet this characterization allows the audience [..] to see that MLK is similar to any *common* man.
Actor Landon G. Woodson portrayed
King with a high degree of dramatic professionalism.”
7/
“At the conclusion of the play, (the fictional character) Camae shows King a glimpse of the future, revealing a peaceful Promised Land… *on Earth*.”
🤔

Harvard Magazine, June 2020:
Katori Hall, playright of The Mountaintop, states:
“I'm very much committed to putting the city of Memphis on the map.”
9/ harvardmagazine.com/2020/06/montag…
“Hall has never lost sight of her original
mission-to populate the theater with
stories about and roles for African-
American women.”
Hall earned a degree from Columbia and a Master’s from Harvard.
“(Lynn) Nottage, a two-time Pulitzer winner was her mentor.”
10/
“While Hall started out focused on
black womanhood, she now (also) aims to portray [..] gay men or strippers.”
“Her 2015 play ‘Pussy Valley’ (was converted to a televised) Starz series ‘P-Valley’.”
11/
Katori Hall: “I do think theater is church.”
“I am spiritual. But while I don't go to church every Sunday, I do go to theater every Saturday.”
12/
Two likely sources for Katori Hall’s portrayal of MLK as an adulterer and ‘common man’ are:
1) the aforementioned Ralph Abernathy and
2) MLK biographer David Garrow- formerly of the University of Cambridge and also U. Pittsburgh.
Their accounts of MLK are disputable.
13/
NY Times, 13 Oct 1989:
“Supporters of Dr. King accused the Rev. Ralph Abernathy of maligning Dr. King's memory in a new book that alleges Dr. King engaged in extramarital sexual encounters on the last night of his life.”
14/ web.archive.org/web/2015052511…
A statement by 27 Black leaders, including Jesse Jackson, said:
“This is but another attempt to diminish the life and work of
the only spiritual genius America has produced.”
citing “the legacy that God has given to our time and to all time through Dr. King.”
15/
David Garrow defended Abernathy:
“What has to be understood is that these are people who've been having disputes with one another for 20 years, and to me that's 85% of what's going on today.”
Abernathy had disagreements with Dr. King's widow and ‘endorsed Reagan’ in 1980.
16/
“Abernathy alleged MLK had sexual encounters with 2 women, and a quarrel with a third the night before he died.”
The statement assailed Abernathy’s competence and “deplored that others with ulterior motives and large financial resources” put words into his mouth.
17/
Thirty years later, in 2019, Garrow was described as “irresponsible” by historians for publishing an article-based on FBI documents and sources- accusing MLK of “laughing and offering advice” during a sexual assault, along with other salacious acts.
18/ davidgarrow.com/wp-content/upl…
In the same article, David Garrow simply *asserted* that a woman named Dorothy Cotton was “the most important woman in King's life.”
Garrow seemingly dismissed the preeminence of MLK’s wife/widow, Coretta Scott King. Let’s now consider her side of the story…
19/
15 Jan 2017, NY Post:
“Coretta Scott King had ‘gut
feeling’ MLK was loyal despite
FBI findings”
20/ web.archive.org/web/2017011717…
“Before her death in 2006, Coretta Scott King told her life story to Dr. Barbara Reynolds…
The portrait that emerges here is of a woman of tremendous *faith*, resilience and pride; she considered herself an *equal partner* to her husband, Dr. Martin Luther King.”
21/
“She met MLK in 1951.”
“She was was nothing like the clingy wife we saw on the big screen in 2014's ‘Selma,’ weeping about King's infidelity. As Reynolds wrote in a 2015 Washington Post story, the real Coretta Scott King *insisted* that her
husband *never* strayed.”
22/
“Coretta: ‘Do I believe my husband was unfaithful?’
Despite the FBI *allegedly* having audio-recorded his infidelities, her answer was: ‘No.’
(MLK’s conscience) compelled him to confess wrongdoing. Minus (that)… Coretta reasoned that he must have been faithful.”
23/
“Recalling Ralph Abernathy’s account (of MLK’s last night alive), Coretta *tartly* declared:
"Scandal sells books; fidelity does not.'
“Her husband was ‘no saint,’ but his faults were confined to things like stepping out of his pajamas and leaving them on the floor.”
24/
“Coretta Scott King also believed [..] that the Memphis police, the US government and the Mafia all
conspired in Martin Luther King’s death.”
25/
“One of her favorite mottos was: ‘If you have not found a cause to die for, you have not found a reason to live.’
She died 30 Jan 2006. [..] More than 10,000 people and 4 US presidents attended the funeral of Coretta Scott King, a woman with a dream.”
26/
In what surely would be understood by Coretta Scott King as a malicious insult, a 2019 article describes Dorothy Cotton as MLK’s:
“Other wife”.
27/ web.archive.org/web/2019062703…
Where did this phrase “other wife” originiate?
The article states that: “*Many* subsequent scholars have even come to think of Cotton as King's ‘other wife’” and links to an LA Times article by… David Garrow. 🤔
28/
Garrow’s article was published the day *before* Coretta Scott King’s funeral.
“How long would it be before the
woman some King scholars have for years *privately* thought of as ‘the other wife’ steps forward?…”
Garrow did not name the “scholars”.
29/
web.archive.org/web/2021012805…
Garrow characterized Martin Luther King as “sexist” and insinuated he had inappropriate encounters with “both genders”.
Garrow describes Coretta Scott King’s role as a mother as “being saddled [..] with four small children”.
30/
Garrow states that MLK desired “tributes” which satisfied only himself-and not his wife- including “extramarital sex”.
Garrow states that details of ‘special friendships’ with women ‘fascinated J. Edgar Hoover’.
Could it be instead that Hoover *fabricated* those details?🤔
31/
Garrow asserts details that would have been very difficult for him to verify, suggesting that the woman (later said to be Cotton) “was warm, positive, sensuous, and reassuring”.
32/
Garrow dismisses Coretta Scott King’s role during MlK’s life, despite her claim to the contrary of an equal partnership and perversely implies a benefit due to his assassination.
Garrow spins Coretta’s deeply personal experience with MLK’s conscience as a ‘polite fiction.’
33/
Returning to the 2019 article, it delves into the last night MLK was alive with reference to an interview with Cotton.
Interestingly, despite having flown to Memphis from Atlanta with MLK earlier that day, Dorothy Cotton “did not attend (MLK’s) speech (The Mountaintop).”
34/
“(Cotton) took her already packed bags and left (Memphis) on a 1 PM flight to Atlanta with SCLC staffer Jim
Harrison- who was, at the time, an *FBI informant*.”🤔
What if Dorothy Cotton also worked for the FBI? 🤔
How would we know?
If she did, her story is likely false.
35/
In 2010, the Memphis Commercial Appeal found photographer Ernest Withers worked for the FBI.
After MLK’s murder, Abernathy “hardly blinked when Withers entered the room.”🤔
“Withers shadowed MLK the day before his murder.”
36/
web.archive.org/web/2011011809…
“In addition to spying on citizens, Hoover's FBI ran a covert operation, called COINTELPRO, a counterintelligence or ‘dirty tricks’ program.” 🤔
“David Garrow reviewed the newspaper’s findings.”🤔
37/
“Withers was lionized late in life and published 4 books…
The FBI still aggressively guards the secret of Withers' activities…
His informant file - remains sealed. The DoJ has twice rejected the newspaper's FOIA requests and won't even acknowledge the file exists.”
38/
In June 2018, Dorothy Cotton’s funeral was held… at Cornell in Ithaca NY- the same location where Landon Woodson played the part of MLK in The Mountaintop’. 🤔
Let’s take a closer look at David Garrow…
39/
web.archive.org/web/2019061108…
In 1987, a letter from David Garrow (on the topic of the then-new MLK holiday) was published by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
David Garrow is described as a member of DSA on page 17. 🤔
Let’s consider one leader of DSA at the time…
40/ democraticleft.dsausa.org/files/sites/6/…
Dorothy Healey was National vice-chair of DSA “after decades as a leader of the Communist Party in California.”
When asked if DSA should support Mondale, she replied “I would take the same position toward Mondale that Karl Marx took in 1848…”
41/ washingtonsocialist.mdcdsa.org/ws-articles/do…
Despite her leading role at D”S”A, Healey is described as a “lifelong Communist” in her obituary.
(When one says ‘socialism’, the ‘communism’ is often silent.)
“In the 1950’s, she was convicted of conspiring to advocate the forceful overthrow of the government.”
42/
In the letter, David Garrow leaves out any mention of MLK’s Christian faith. He also diverts honor away from MLK:
“…it is essential that we not focus too exclusively on the civil rights contributions of King alone.”
Garrows speaks of “an unfilled political agenda”.🤔
43/
Nov 2023:
A student in Wentzville, Missouri published an opinion piece in a high school newsletter, praising the “After School Satan Club”.
The student’s name is…
Landon Woodson
44/ web.archive.org/web/2024080301…
Landon Woodson:
“Satanism. (People) think it is full of devil worshiping, baby sacrificing, and evil. [..]
Now with any group of people, there will be a fair share of *bad apples*. 🤔
But Satanism is nowhere near that…”
45/
“We already have a Christian club so it's not breaking or bending any rules. I would go to it," said Rage Putzler, Senior & Satanist.
46/
Landon Woodson lists “tenets of the Satanic Temple” and adds that those who believe in Satan are not Satanists. 🤔
“Satanists advocate for religious
freedom, separation of church and state, bodily autonomy, compassion/empathy, scientific reasoning, and much more.” 🤔
47/
Nov 2018 Wentzville, MIssouri
“The ACLU filed a lawsuit against
the city of Wentzville for violating a
person's freedom of speech [..] after she raised concerns about a recently installed ‘In God We Trust’
sign on the front of the city.”
The city settled with the ACLU.
48/
Wentzville, Missouri was sued again by the ACLU in 2022. CNN covered the story:
“The ‘banned books’ engage readers with diversity of ideas and minority viewpoints, including with respect to race, gender, and sexual identity," the ACLU argues.”
49/ web.archive.org/web/2022022804…
A student reporter for the same high school newsletter covered the story.
The school librarian suggested the impetus may have been a “non-local third party political move” based upon the complaints she received.
50/ web.archive.org/web/2024080319…
“The federal court denied the injunction, however, and even questioned the notion that the district had actually *banned* anything.”
One of the books in question in Landon Woodson’s school district
In Wentzville, MO was titled:
"All Boys Aren't Blue"…
51/
In 2021, the Atlanta J-C published a story on “B-Boy Blues” which shares some traits with “All Boys Aren’t Blue”, including its LGBTQ theme in the Black community.
Turns out that *Landon Woodson* makes his feature film debut in "B-Boy Blues". 🤔
52/
web.archive.org/web/2022061414…
“B-Boy Blues is the directorial debut for former ‘Empire’ star… Jussie Smollet.”🤔
“Smollett pursued the project as he dealt with a controversial, high-profile case, in which he was convicted of lying to police about being the victim of a hate crime.”
53/
“Landon G. Woodson makes his feature film debut in ‘B-Boy Blues.’
‘Jussie was incredibly empowering,’ Woodson adds. [..] ‘It's such a nurturing environment having this *artistic refuge*.’”
“…stories about Black queer love and relationships will continue to be seen…”
54/
Back in Wentzville, MO in Oct 2023, the same student-Landon Woodson-who editorialized on Satanism composed an editorial on “a new bill banning access to gender affirming care to minors”.
The details of the editorial are in the link.
55/ web.archive.org/web/2024080301…
Landon Woodson of Wentzville, MO used the pronouns he, they, and she interchangeably in the bio of both editorials.
56/
I found the graduation video from Wentzville Liberty HS in May 2024.
The name “Landon Woodson” was called, though it seemed no one stepped up.
“Rage Putzler” was NOT called, but “Mason Putzler” was and a student did step up.
Times indicated.
57/
So… what to make of these 3 individuals- all named “Landon Woodson”?
The name is common enough that no one would be faulted for thinking it might be one big coincidence.
But I don’t think it is. There is overlap of geography and topics related to Martin Luther King, Jr.
58/
Nietzsche’s wished for “Art” to replace Christianity as “the proper metaphysical activity of life.”
Art is not limited to books or paintings, or plays.
Nietzsche’s Art can be comprised of a real-world demonstration of control over human beings to yield a desired outcome.
59/
Follow me:
Consider Landon Woodson playing MLK in The Mountaintop. Then attach MLK to each “Landon Woodson”.
Is it possible that 16-year-old Landon Woodson did not “die of covid” in Memphis? Could it instead be that “bad apples” were involved in causing his death?
60/
There have been efforts starting with J. Edgar Hoover to portray MLK as sexually deviant and a cheater.
Could it be that Landon Woodson was hired for a production with Black gay male characters to represent MLK with themes which counter traditional Christian teachings?
61/
Could it be that student Landon Woodson was persuaded by praise or reward to compose editorials supporting “gender transition” for youth and Satanism precisely because both stand in opposition to the Christian teachings of MLK?
62/
If Katori Hall was influenced to write The Mountaintop from David Garrow’s viewpoint rather than Coretta Scott King’s, please don’t judge her harshly.
Conservatives also cite Garrow b/c his biography of Obama is superficially critical.
Garrow is good at what he does.🤷♂️
63/
Did you notice that Ralph Abernathy’s endorsement of Ronald Reagan in 1980 had the same effect that Garrow’s negative comments anout Obama did?
Both led to conservatives giving credibility to men who wish to malign and smear Martin Luther King.
64/
I suspect David Garrow is a closeted Communist/Nietzschean and is part of a group whose goal is to eliminate Christianity.
If I am right, the best thing for him to do is to confess.
Honest confessions happen suddenly and sometimes unexpectedly.
65/
Why are FBI files surrounding MLK still sealed?
Considering Garrow’s actions after Coretta Scott King’s death, it seems the goal is to wait until those with knowledge of the truth die in order to change the history. Very Orwellian.
66/
I agree with the statement by Jesse Jackson and the other signatories:
“Martin Luther King is the only spiritual genius America has produced.”
Dr. King embodied what it means to be a Great Man- not a common man. And that made him a target of Communists/Fascists.
67/
The covid-related crimes have iliustrated multi-layered controlled deceptions. Now that I see how they work, it’s easy to apply to other scenarios.
Big targets like MLK, get more layers.
Clearly, Coretta Scott King’s depiction of MLK is accurate. David Garrow’s is not.
68/

Reference:
1. To understand why the Deep State wanted to eliminate Martin Luther King, read his speeches and sermons. Here is “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop”.
His Christian faith is inextricable from his leadership of the Civil Rights movement.
