Mon 24 Jul: Chemical Crimes - Plans And Vectors - Quinine Trap - Bayer Blood - Monsanto Myths - Phosphorus Fuel - Nuremberg 2.0: Have no doubt, we face dangerous chemical weapons in our war for justice. They are developed, perfected and sold by evil corporations. The hospital hell and a per patient bounty of 100k. A horrific mishmash of evil. The fear factors are how the gov't does everything. Malaria, HIV, and what discoveries they suppressed. The goal was to keep Africa in the dark. Hemophilia, blood chemistry and the clot shots. The history of I.G. Farben, German roots and Frankenfood. RNA serves as a prime vector. How could they delete something from WikiLeaks? You might as well include weather modification. Three things to fix are elections, state's sovereignty, and too many federal employees. Big pharma overrides local opposition. Looking forward to laboratory food. Targeting perfect genes.
