Mon 16 Aug: Exposium - Lindell Edition - Dirty Plants - Patriots Fight - Hold Backs - Affidavit Boom - Trigger Time: The Lindell Symposium proved it all, while under constant attack. The super patriot himself, Mike Lindell, covers what went on. Insiders showing themselves is part of the plan. Antifa, fake ID's, and the counter intel folks also operating. Complexity and media never go together. Vote data bases accessible by phone? Really? The snakes on the floor were easy to see. Code Monkee business. Getting the evidence into court is the key. The affidavit that leads the way. Truth never gets anywhere quickly. It's a war for our minds, and timing means everything. Relax in a prone position, watch, wait, and be conscious of scope shadow and trigger pull. God bless America. by The Tore Says Show
