Adams Creek Associate must be stopped! And I pray for justice for the Reels Family 🙏🏽

If the original document was false, then doesn't that make the sale null and void ??? I'm confused as to why this has gone on this long !!!!

[@ministerkareemc]

@@sharongeter2345that’s what I thought. They need the Supreme Court involved. The officials who allowed this need to be investigated and charged with crimes. The judge need all his cases reviewed and disbarred

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS NOT GETTING THE ATTENTION ITS DUE😮

Black Americans are Indigenous to America. They are American Indians. Their identity was changed by Walter Plecker.

[@sharongeter2345]

these people took from the Indians too and called it Thanksgiving......They lie, steal and cheat for whatever they feel they want, always have.

I pray all works out for the Reels family. They took everything from them. Except their faith, love of family, strength, power and since of community. Their ancestors would be so proud of them all. I hope they get their land back as well as compensation for the life that was taken from them and all the money they have had to spend fighting this. I'm so sorry ... something has to change.

2023 and here we are again.....How do these people sleep at night that just take whatever they want, when they want ?

What I gathered: A will is very important. While you have the time, write one and be as detailed as possible. Pray about all things because you can’t trust everybody. I think most of us can agree that the LOVE of MONEY is the root of evil. There will always be those among us who want a quick dollar and are willing to sell out whomever and however they can to get it. I am a firm believer that whatsoever a man sows, that is what he shall reap. Those throughout history who have generations of liars, thieves, destroyers, and murders in their bloodlines and no repentance, will have their day with the Highest Judge. I pray this family and many other families have the tables turned in their favor. Most importantly, I pray that they will recognize the real value in being able to build from within and the wisdom to understand how to build and sustain generational wealth. We wrestle not against flesh and blood. This is a spiritual battle🌎🌍🌏🙏🏾
