    Didnโ€™t we send $400 million in cash to Iran in 2016?

    feels like an excessive amount of money

  3. Alfred Hiltor says:

    Sounds like another psyop. Only the real ones know whoโ€™s really responsible for 911. The U.S. should start a Class Action Suit against Israel, and all the Jewish controlled corporations/monopolies that socially engineer societies into degeneracy with lies and propaganda through the Jewish controlled Hollywood movie/TV productions, News Outlets, and Music Industry. They also like to push poisons on us as safe and effective. Then they profit off of the cancer and other sicknesses it causes. It would be a good start.

  4. Deanna L. Weidner says:

    We should stop sending the Taliban up to $80 million per week. Find the info on the Sean Ryan Show. 3 confirmations from guests who affirm that information. Credible sources.
