Boris Johnson How many million did you receive from Bashar al-Assad? This money was looted by the Syrian Baath Party from the Syrian people and then killed them with chemical weapons. And the British government secretly supports them for the criminals' home, in all of Syria it has become prostitution, mafia and drug trafficking.
Becouse of Arabs , Syrians
Armageddon: highly distructive event.
Pact:An official agreement.
Rampant: increasingly out of control.
Amazing isnt it. The propaganda right in your face, the real agenda..
Environmental issues shown, all the ones they can blame on the public, not that we have any control over how products we buy every day are packaged or how/where our waste goes once collected??
They make big statements, yes I agree rightly so as it needs sorting out but they are not here with solutions for the world as they claim.
Take a look at dystopia lake in Mongolia. Tucked away in a corner in the middle of nowhere, out of the public's eye This is a 5.5 mile wide lake, filled with nothing but toxic waste, all from big tech's manufacturing processes.
Funny how this environmental crisis is acceptable. Oh of course, it makes billionaires !
I had pact with my company to work 4 years for them.
Global warming is armageddon earth's future ? Is it correct
