Read up on Reagan's WAR on Drugs... Oliver North, Elliot Abrams and the Iran-Contra scandal. This will show you why the USA has so many asylum seekers, Rightfully So. It took 40 Years for the USA to sign on to the 1948 UN Genocide Convention... and it was the atrocities committed by the U.S. on the N. American Tribal Nations which fronted the delay. Ironically, it was a Congressman from Delaware who finally signed on for the U.S... none other than "acting" President Joseph Robinette Biden. "I mean, there might be a public outcry for awhile... but then, you know what happens? People forget. They don't remember, they don't care. They just don't care. It's just gonna' be another everyday, common tragedy." "Yeah, it's -- it's not common." "Don't do somethin' you're gonna' regret for the rest of your life... You're gonna' regret..." "I ain't got nothin' but regret, Bill..." "You have a family... Children. Don't make it more of a tragedy..." - Ernest Burkhart and Bill Hale talking in jail... Killers of the Flower Moon If you tell a Lie often enough, and loud enough... it becomes Israel. Also, read up on the Gaza Marine1 and Gaza Marine2 Natural Gas fields.... there is so much more to the WAR in Palestine.

Re Nessara, If the USA owes 33 trillion Who does it owe it to? Answer: The other 200 countries that were tied into using the us dollar. Since 1973 when USA came up with no gold backing, The rest of the world was pegged to the us dollar. Pegging means They would match their dollar to the USA dollar. So, if the USA could just print whatever it feeled ot could, the other countries were actually being deflated, and had lost its value as the USD was deflated. So the USA was actually using these 200 countries as their backing. So, now that the US can't pay its Dept, it is only fair that the rest of the world that backed them up, take what they can get while the US dollar is still being used. "The 200 countries probably haven't figured out its the USA that caused their deflation." Another thing is to note is. Bill Clinton was never a leader of the people, he was appointed by the cabal, so whatever any of those cabal leaders made a law, its null and void. The whole world has never been democratic, elections were always rigged, we are waking up now to witness this revelation. No illegitimate president or crown corporation pick called a prime minister can create a law for anyone, it's all illegal. Anyone arguing they had a right, is actually one of them, and if we follow the money, it will be proven. The system that was, is totally illegal. TRON

Decolonization is about “cultural, psychological, and economic freedom” for Indigenous people with the goal of achieving Indigenous sovereignty -- the right and ability of Indigenous people to practice self-determination over their land, cultures, and political and economic systems.
