you read the whole speech?

Satyr kindly gave me permission to copy and paste the speech below. Please take the time to read this speech which the President of Russia Vladimir Putin wrote and perhaps some of you may understand fully what is really happening. Citizens of Russia, citizens of the Donetsk and Lugansk people’s rep...

I've seen people wearing masks while driving in their cars. How ridiculous. It is well known that masks are inadequate. What these multiple vaccination people do not realise, they are guinea pigs for the pharmaceutical companies. How many can we give? Think of the profits we will make, (not the live...

What happened when the rods twisted? Did someone dig a hole in the ground and discover water? Or it was taken for granted water was underground.

Where exactly were you when you participated in the divining. Was it woodland with dense sh...

See above

But you know about them? Why would I say that? Reading up on it on Wiki....... Spiritualists in the United States believed that the dead were able to contact the living and reportedly used a talking board very similar to a modern Ouija board at their camps in the U.S. state of Ohio in 1886 to ostens...
