I think this is an important read. This could be my own parents - NOT 'antifa,' NOT aggro. Just a couple octogenarians, one a Vietnam vet, who are concerned about the state of our country.

Will they be the next brutalized by our own forces in their small Oregon town?

SHOCKING. OUTRAGEOUS.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable.

This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed.

The only reason you assassinate every Al Jazeera journalist left in Gaza is because you don’t want anyone to document the genocide you are about to accelerate.
