The guest was Kevin Galalae, the top expert in the world on the UN’s covert genocidal depopulation agenda and the various methods being used on a global level. He described how the depopulation and genocide are being carried out through biological methods with GMO foods and pesticides, poisonous vaccines and the man-made pandemics and epidemics, as well as with chemical methods that include endrocrine disruptors such as fluoride and BPA plastics and the chemtrails being sprayed across the skies.

Like most of the promises made in …

She also admonished the U.S. for failing to protect …

Some years ago I worked for a mid-sized financial multinational. Towards the end of my tenure my employer merged with another company, and the senior executives in my department were replaced with Americans. (It was the smallest department in the division, and they felt they should give the Americans something.) There had been some… dubious… practices before, stuff that skirted …
