I have been busy again these last few days.... But I was able to fire off some very important reports that absolutely blow the Sandy Hook fraud wide open..... I surely hope that everyone will look at those reports and understand that we are indeed at war with the criminals who run our corrupt governments that want to have our freedoms taken away.... The facts show that all of these shootings and bombings have indeed been false flag attacks using the psychological effect of fear on people so that they obediently surrender their rights for the lies of more security.....

Like it or not, alcohol is a poison. Even the doctor or nurse rubs alcohol on the body prior to an injection in order to kill any pathogenic micro-organisms which might be lingering on the skin.

In 1924, a grateful Congress voted to give a bonus to World War I veterans – $1.25 for each day served overseas, $1.00 for each day served in the States. The catch was that payment would not be made until 1945. However, by 1932 the nation had slipped into the dark days of the Depression […]

It went back and forth for almost the entire campaign. But, in the end, he refused to let us use his name and the Laesch campaign had no way of confirming if there was any truth behind the allegations.
