7. vidoes are created for a purpose, sometimes as propaganda

Sep 2014

I cannot believe any thinking person would believe the US media, and believe after everything that has happened, that they care about Iraqis or anyone.

the GOP blamed poor people for all the money they wasted in Iraq killing millions of innocents after lying in order to bomb them, then hurt the American people even more with cuts to important programs

These is not about ISIS, this is about power, control and making more money at the expense of everything else in our nation.

I cannot believe that anyone believes this load of crap unless they are paid to pretend so.
