Not overly useful. Yet it marks the steady march of real jusice. Understand that this is the public face of the Sex Crimes takedown. It follows NIXI? in particular and all that. All through this we have been shown in the ALT media hard evidence of a vast global system that also harvests adrenochrome claiming tens of thousands of victims. I do not know if the public will ever be made fully aware. I knew a long time ago that the military has produced underground tunnels and spaces for good military reasons.

However, there is one complaint that most Glock owners (especially new ones) share. For a company that has produced handguns for less than 40 years, the Austrian-based Glock has managed to dominate the pistol market – overshadowing such notable manufacturers as Colt and Smith & Wesson – each founded in the 19th century, as well ...

Suze Wilson, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Suze Wilson* *Politics, New Zealand* The election outcome constitutes a compelling endorsement of Ardern, whose decisive response to the first wave of the coronavirus in March was a master class in crisis leadership.

Saving lives is, not surprisingly, a real vote-winner. Ardern’s Oct. 17 victory was a record-breaking landslide. Labour secured 49% of the party vote and an expected 64 seats in the 120-member Parliament. L...
