(Friends don't let friends go to Qanon sites and vote.) ------------------------------ "In fact, the first criminal case against the former president’s company features no grand schemes to launder money through Russia, hide millions offshore or commit other offenses commensurate with a self-described global business empire headquartered in a Fifth Avenue skyscraper. Rather, the details of the charges brought by a Manhattan grand jury have a rather low-rent feel that one might associate with a scrappy real-estate operation born in Brooklyn and Queens.

OH, CANADA! Fidelito Could Return Canada to Aborigines
"With Fidel Castro's bastard son as our Prime Minister, it should come as little surprise that much of what is happening bears a strong resemblance to events that took place during China's cultural revolution." In theory, the* UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous People* could mean that all non-indigenous people will be forced to leave Canada, as the whole country was some point the territory of one tribe or another. The problem is that all of this is very vague and can be interpreted in different ways, and with a lying and unpredictable government nobody knows what to exp... read more
Unmasking The Global Food Cartel: Is Massive Starvation and Population Reduction Their Next Move?
The Globalists who control the world today are not politicians. Politicians are puppets, chosen by the Globalists, who control the world's financial system. At the very top of the pyramid they are Satanists, specifically "Satanic Jews" which I defined recently in the article: "Identifying the Luciferian Globalists Implementing the New World Order – Who are the 'Jews'?" Their modus operandi is the world's financial system, and the Globalist companies that run the world. We recently published the very well-written commentary by F.

Achieving Air Superiority: How This American Squadron Commanded German Skies
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* Most fighter pilots developed a grudging respect, even admiration, for pilots of the opposite uniform. Shooting each other down was nothing personal.
