Fri 08 Oct: Memory Whole - DNA Stores - Phase Skip - Gain Of Fauci - VAXLocks - Cell Line- Stand Fast: Understanding the miracle of human memory, and related research, explains much about today. DNA as a storage medium is well advanced. Why not crystals? Eons of information passed down, until now. Protein memory blockers are real. Was it 2019 when things got started, or 2012? Fauci and killer virus planning go way back. Ike knew way back when. That's right, memories get passed on via neurons and the germline. Flower loops and super coils. Perfectly bred humans means smart enough to serve but too dumb to revolt. The winners write the history. Who would experiment on black people? The amazing cell line of Henrietta Lacks and her tragic, sad story. Frequency changes have made all that was invisible now painfully obvious. Stand fast patriots, because it's going down. by The Tore Says Show

As always, some are getting it and others never will. Why now with the premonitions? That is one well timed shooting. Lots of gear and training for grandma's tranny. it's a seamless transition from media to government. They call it the mark. Have you ever heard of the relay? There were major grid lines and related tech in '69. Intergalactic comms where a thing then too. One of the four had faith in humanity. We may know her. The DNA identifier. The global human experiment is going all wrong. Wray talks a good line. White hat or not? Obot's criminal FBI supervision. The evil in the WEF shows as the deep state plays their last cards.
