  NOTE: People more intelligent than I have posted 2024 will be a significant year in human history, especially American history. While some say the foreboding evidence is merely circumstantial, I haven’t seen a position with comforting substance.

We're not allowed to talk openly about the obvious unless we want to be ostracized, fired or killed. As Bovard states: “’Government = truth’ ...
