  1. Yep, the Babylon System will sacrifice your children’s blood in their bogus wars to fill the pockets of the elite, as that is the only reason we are sending our children to have their minds, bodies and souls destroyed. We should be ashamed of ourselves. How much truth needs to be revealed about America and their bogus wars before we quit volunteering for this nonsense? How much death and suffering do we need to continue to see before we quit volunteering for a blood paycheck or a blood education? Why do we still volunteer to do the dirty work of the elite, as their children surely don’t do this work, and never have?
