      🇵🇸 Raise Awareness
      To those who live in western countries:
      Western journalism often neglects the importance of preserving our inherent dignity and humanity subjecting us to severe and disturbing indoctrination. Propagating harmful false narratives It can promote ignorance and desensitize us to acts of severe oppression, making us unwittingly complicit through our silenceHistorical context After the conquest of Jerusalem in 637 CE, under Islamic rule, Jewish communities were rescued from the oppressive Byzantine rule. They were given recognition, refuge, and protection. In a lasting, mutually beneficial coexistence with the Muslims they thrived, sharing laughter, tears, and even babysitting each other's children until 1948 when the Zionist Israeli government was establishedTherefore it's not about "Jews vs. Muslims" It's about Zionism: Colonialism & Genocide
      As a muslim I condemn zionism and I condemn any use of violence against civilians

    What happened to that young soldier was haunting and heartbreaking. Abandoned by his mother, losing his father, then losing his life protecting the mother who abandoned him. His being there saved a lot of people’s lives by preventing an evil person’s egregious plan from being executed. But it is still sad.

    A 34-year old woman employed at Wal-mart claims a 16-year old pregnant girl is the evil witch leader of a dark coven. A 38-year old man watches Harry Potter and decides to become a warlock under this 34-year old woman's tutelage. If it wasn't a Mr. Ballen video, this intro sounds like the beginning of a comedy.

Jackie, the boyfriend of pregnant Lindsay was 23 and Irenia was 34 when this happened and they had been in a 4 year ‘relationship’ prior to him breaking it off and starting to date Lindsay. That means that Irenia was dating a 17 or 18 year old when she was 28/29. Not just jealous and batshit crazy, she was also a predator.

      A little strange to call her a predator, but not also call the 23 year year old with a pregnant 16 year old girlfriend a predator as well. 17 and 18 is the legal age in most states. And while it's true that some states have the age of consent at 16, there is no guarantee that she wasn't 15 when they started their relationship. Either way, it is really weird to call her a predator, but not him.

      What's the most ridiculous part about all of this, is the fact that a woman orchestrated this entire thing, simply because she was jealous of another woman's relationship. She basically made the entire thing up. There was no hex, and there weren't any other witches besides her and her ignorant sidekicks.
      Hell, I wouldn't even be surprised if she faked the entire "spirit world" session as well, that in which involved her voice apparently changing, and the proclaimed "5 demons."
      The "hex" in question, was literally just a breakup phase.

    The most heartbreaking thing is the Kid Josh never got to reconcile with his mother. Those evil monsters took that from them. I found the part funny about Rick wanting to join because of Harry Potter but I’m pretty sure breaking and entering and killing somebody in their house isn’t a Harry Potter thing….. Maybe if he makes porale maybe he can play Hogwarts Legacy for an authentic non nurseries Harry Potter experience without cults and murder.
