Great post--linked!


I knew about Color Revolutions and how Sidney Powell said the CIA had used Dominion Cheatware overseas to rig elections.

But the car-bombing of Gov. Kemp’s “sonny”-in-law confirms it for me; this is another CIA/FBI Coup, just like they run overseas. And why not?

This is End-Stage Liberalism.

The Government is Overthrowing the People.

Pray for our nation.

If George Washington himself came back to Washington, D.C. today, they would have to put two slugs in his back at the city limits, like Seth Rich on a 3 a.m. sidewalk. Though they would let him keep his watch, just to send this message: "This was not a robbery."

Otherwise, he would smash them.

Fear not.
