8/8/8 -- Olympiad to 2012 Strange timing of events point to illumined elite by David Flynn

On 8/8/08 this year at the opening ceremonies for the Olympics in Beijing, an all star cast of current and retired world leaders attended.

But why would so many illumined dignitaries attend the Olympics to celebrate this event. Was it out of convenience that they crashed the biggest party thrown on earth during 8/8/08 instead of celebrating on their
