How the #$%# could anybody talk with a straight face about Bush’s ‘Freedom Institute’? The man is the blood enemy of free people wherever they are.
There is a bloody good reason why every known book about Bush up until now paints him as a either a dupe, a fool or a villain…
Because he is all three!
Amen Dupe fool and villan along wiith the world’s #1 terrorist
Brilliant work on the National Geographic cover story for Feb 2008. I’ve done extensive research myself and as an African American male I found it easier picking up my face myself because my college profs were numbskulls. I traced back the Egyptian empire from West Africa and Timbuktu and I realized that our history was covered up intentionally. But again thank you for your bravery and honesty your a trail blazer to the likes of many others who loves truth.
Thank you!!!
