i sincerely beleive everyone should read the classic Vigilant Citizen articles. Read them to the point you start to think, as Benny says,
he really is onto something.

 

[luka]

then read them past that point to where you think, but not every girl with a butterfly tattoo can be a Beta Sex Kitten Slave, then read more until you think but what if they are!

Katy Perry’s “Chained to the Rhythm” Sells an Elite-Friendly “Revolution”

“Chained to the Rhythm” is your typical Katy Perry pop song but with a slightly subversive twist. However, there is intense “doublethink” going on here. Indeed, the “rebellion” presented by the video is actually accepting the global elite’s agenda that has been pushed for years. After Trump’s...
