Very good video, Zamb. 9/11 was designed for this. Bush himself slipped and called 9/11 as opportunity. That's rise of fascism 101. That's what I wrote about while ago, discussing with OrangeManBad. Naturally, movements as BLM being hijacked by "philanthrops", it's cointelpro strategy.
They want to make all their opposition look bad, label them as terrorists and, if needed, they will finance them. Even through Russia or Iran. To make foreign countries entangled in their plot against their own people. After all, that's how zionist helped to form Hamas. And zionists are in full control of the US policy...

yup.
They have perfectly split our entire population... brains are washed so completely that you're either 'us or them'. both controlled opps.

AJ+ @ajplus of course is Al-Jazeera... can't 'trust' them either... so many agendas out there...
but they did a good job with this analysis..... just gotta grab 'truth' where ya find it right?

You (zod) have proved yourself reliable across the many years (during&since GLP). w/ good moral and critical thinking skillset.
You also are able to dissemble 'passionate' propagandists like OrangeManBad w/o using straw man arguing or personal attacks.
good stuff. The site has remained stable and dependable and tolerant because of it... glad you're at the helm.
plus you get pissed at the same shit I do. hahaha.

Truly grateful for ALL input/minds that daily bring stuff to the banquet of clarity here.
Zodland remains free. Zodland rules.
