Nazionists are the ultimate commanders of U$A, not only the government, media, corporations and academics in this country but also in many other countries in the world. The Nazionists are operating from the hidden back stage, what we can see are only the front stage of puppets.

The Lord God Almighty will be the lifter of your head when you stand before Him on the day of Judgement and you will hear "Well done, good and faithful servant" on that day. Your stand is just, right and in accordance with a right conscience no matter if you believe in God or not. He believes in you and what you stand and are standing for to stop the slaughter of the innocent and continued oppression of a people who deserve justice, freedom and dignity just like we all do. May God bless the paths laid before you and lead you on your ways. Well done. Warrior on until that final day. 👏👏👏♾
