On Saturday, The Tree of Life Synagogue shooting occurred and is the deadliest attack on Jews in American History.

Only by becoming aware of the pervasive grip that globalists wield in promoting their emerging New World Order can we citizens of the world come together to make every effort to thwart the elite’s sinister design.

News of the NorthwestSpaceballs...Er...I Mean Space ForceConfidence is high that there is intelligent life in space and believing in extraterrestrials is no longer reserved for conspiracy theorists or people who are always maligned as having a tinfoil hat as a fashion accessory.
