I believe that Michael was being groomed by the illuminati earlier in his career, without his knowledge of what they had up their sleeves. However, I also believe that in his global travels, in his constant educating of himself in the different religions, in his talks and relationships with world leaders both faith based and political, in just sizzling and keeping his mind, eyes and ears open; he woke up and realized where his career was being led and at that time began his revolution and rebelled against them. That is when I fear all of his problems began. At one time Michael was the darling of the world, but once the attacks started they continued to get worse and worse. More allegations and accusations. More ridicule and character assassination. More horrendous lies that were allowed with no one challenging them, no one apperaring to be on Michael's side. I believe they tried to break Michael, and the reason he did not react in the way most people would have under such tress and attack, is that he had a plan, he had a direction, and he was not going to allow anything or anyone to change it. Cool under pressure because he alone knew the base of why these things were occurring. He knew what he was up against, and to lose control, would have possibly played right into their hands. Michael is smart. Smarter than most people give him credit for.
