It’s about conditioning the population to accept first papers, then badges. Soon we’ll be hiding people

Like a head fund manager, it’s a hostile takeover and forced liquidation. Then some “lucky” investors will step in to bag all that incredibly valuable farm land at pennies on the dollar. China, Saudi, Qatari or Trump families is my guess.

Yep. We asked the same question 50 years ago when Reagan and Nixon used it. Hmm. Republicans

My resistance:
I just got 2 pairs of shoes. Work boots and excellent every day walking shoes. Great shape. $23. Total. For both. With tax! And, I made a donation to our local shelter program by doing it. Gift, thrift and barter. Starve the oligarchs!! No kings
