Mon 03 May: Phase Four - Last Step - Precipice - Fear Faith - High Force - Parades - Our Terms: How we got here is a chilling story. All the nations and peoples who were once free. The exposure of those who manifest evil. The arrogance of the fooled is remarkable to watch. Shake ups and shake downs in the swamp. 1918 brought mask terror a century ago. Same tactics, same weakness. An iron fist for dissenters, while they bank on us forgetting. The Romans and the start of weaponized religion. For much of the world, it's a hijab for you. They don't care about our history. Stand strong for what you believe in. Remember, we are the children of freedom's rebels. by The Tore Says Show

Lastly, sexism in the media. How are female politicians, celebrities and astronauts treated differently? Also, we released this early because of the election. Oof. Good luck, America!
