Mon 19 Jun: Shaping Truth - Rebel Mindset - Frustrations - UN CDC Inc. - Info Intel - Distractions - WHO Controls: As the old saying goes, we've been around this wagon before. Our founding fathers fought a propaganda war too. Questioning the dominate narrative and independent thinking defines patriotism. Corrupting power results from the desire to conform. Subcultures grow around truth's different versions. Some people enjoy being slaves. Rare is the ability to receive concepts, revise info and change beliefs. Smoke, mirrors, the CDC, our Congress, the UN, the Salt Palace and corporate control. Pony shows and two party charades. A rights destroying uni-party is what we face. There is no way out for them. Spotting mind control methods. They are fighting for their skin. The dichotomy of control. Where fear exists, propaganda reigns. Those moves made by the idiot Bush son. Romania was a key. Even more Bidens were involved. It's not blackmail when they know we have it. It was all under Oba by The Tore Says Show

Mon 21 Feb: Corporatism (Part 2 of 2) - Patrick Byrne Joins Tore - Convoy Setup - Milgram Karens - Authority Complex - FDR Fascists - Protest Logic: Patrick Byrne joins Tore in the second half. They touch on tyranny's history, the cabinet model, a militant layer, aeroplane miles, and more. Why is the Dominion lawsuit being ignored? Has John Kerry been served? So many smart people are blinded by the scamdemic. The complex, vile contents of Hunter's laptop. Big victories are coming, lets don't blow it. Scammy Davis Jr. brings doubts to the coming trucker protest. A set up? How we're living thru a global Milgram experiment. Why do libs crave authority? Scratch a lefty, get a goon. Ask Chomsky. The beginnings of wokism and the loss of critical thinking. Citizen grand juries and a new strategy. Our future plans are for justice and freedom. That's why we should always aim above morality and strive to do good. by The Tore Says Show

Wed 29 Dec: Low Deals - Corner Working - Sad Karens - Take Downs - Fact Focus - Secularism - All Human: There are corners being worked and dark deals being made. Fake VAX cards and the go around tyranny industry. New Yorkers are fed up. We got groups. The meetup strategy unfolds. There is disaster in the air. Non compliance means a steep fine. Flipping and flopping on the boosters, variants and testing. Brandon takes some press heat. There are others being tried in relation to the Maxwell case. Malicious intent directed at our patriots. Massive ops meant to divide are occuring. Screw the drama, bring the facts. It's a simple test, are they pro-America or not? The evils of secularism are a working weapon of the deep state. The power of faith is rising strong as can now be seen in the East. This faith is why evil will never be able to cancel the truth. by The Tore Says Show

Mon 28 Mar: Freedom Flowers - Recompense More - Tainted Word - Boxed In - Georgia Mind - Question Always - Bio Lab Fever: More than any other teaching, we must learn to always question everything. The period of serious recompense is upon us. Editing history and the Bible. Cromwell's pact with the devil. The power and the Arc. The age of deception goes way back in history. Time to stop and look up. The guiding light means good or evil. When in doubt, search within. They can't stop this train wreck. All network devices can be compromised. Our country is no longer intact. We allowed them to prey on us. The dogmatic thinking channels that exist. Ours is an endless extension of love and allegiance. The real president speaks from Georgia. Some golden geese and Metabiota truth. Maxey is right, but doing it wrong. CIA investments and the big backers. Actual happenings in those labs. Why jump the gun?

Fri 01 Oct: Foundations - The Taking - Freedom Facts - Trial Runs - Bail In - PedoVaxr - 39 Booyah: History repeats itself, and also their evil plans. We're about to see another nasty round. It's Constitution time, with some rule of law please. Call it bail ins or capital controls, but bank theft is more accurate. Look to Cyprus and see our future. Bond holders go first. Fascists use lots of repeated slogans. Who's tired of giving in? Explaining away trillions is easy for Yellen. 39 states have filed Writs with almost zero media coverage. The circle tyranny of stolen elections and medical mandates. Cal vax psychos start after kids. One child's choice between hospital or heaven. What exactly is a hive mind failure?
