Mon 27 Jun: Panic Mode - Freakouts - Med Data - Guilt Fear - Labor Crimes - Branch Four - Young Blood: The right people are scared, which means the truth is approaching. The MSM breaks down. Massive are the challenges to real faith. Having the citizen weapons to fight fraud. Why the governors met in 2019. Data is sent worldwide from private medical sources. Controlling people easily thru fear and guilt. Thought crimes and warped minds. It's all about narrative control. AFLCIO labor power, funding of the left, and complete systemic election fraud. How did they know all that? Every electronic machine is compromised. The real shadow government and the people in charge. Anti aging tech and human harvest. Collecting, consuming, studying and profiting from tissue, fluids and vanity. The reasons for today's Africa. It's modern science with golden blood. The Roerich family contributions. Our knowledge and faith will guide us, with history's help, safely into the future. by The Tore Says Show
