FREEDOM

by | Aug 6, 2019 | Christianity Today | 33 comments

When the racists call everyone else racist—when the fascists call everyone else fascists—when those who are full of hate—call everyone else haters, and society listens, then freedom is, truly, just a candle in the wind.

When the Left says that words can be the same as violence, and then they are found to be guilty by their own inflammatory words and actions, then freedom is a candle in the wind.

As John Daniel Davidson said, “Is it not divisive and inflammatory for Democrats to refuse to enforce our borders while promising to give taxpayer-paid health care to illegal immigrants? Is it not divisive and inflammatory for sports stars and corporations to denounce the Betsy Ross flag and the national anthem as racist? Doesn’t that exacerbate a feeling of helplessness and dispossession, and fuel a whole spectrum of responses—from ordinary patriotism to outright xenophobia and racism?”

When thugs don masks and beat innocent people in MAGA hats and these terrorists are coddled by Democrats and leftist media, then freedom is a candle in the wind.

Elizabeth Warren—who is still uncertain of her own race—blamed Donald Trump for “advancing racism and white supremacy.” She and the others on the Left are all but calling for a race war. When war is declared and the side that does not want war is blamed for the war, then freedom is a candle in the wind.

Worst of all, we see how evil they are, that they can immediately politicize a massacre.  They don’t care about the victims of the shootings. Bullets tore into the bodies of innocent people. Did any of the voices of manufactured outrage care anything for the families who lost everything in an instant? The shattered lives do not matter to them. The incurable sorrow will get no compassion from them.  To them, these families are just a photo opportunity—a prop to be used to alarm a nation into voting for them.

Instantly, Beto O’Rourke said that President Trump was a “racist” and had “a lot to do with what happened in El Paso yesterday.” Sen. Cory Booker was even more blunt, saying, “Donald Trump is responsible for this.” When masses of people can’t see how evil this is, then freedom is a candle in the wind. 

Most sane people reject the Right Wing conspiracy theory that says international corporate and political elites in the West are intentionally replacing their native populations with immigrants, in order to enrich themselves.

However, the Left isn’t trying to deny this.  The New York Times ran a Michelle Goldberg column under the headline, “We Can Replace Them,” which closed with this line: “In a week, American voters can do to white nationalists what they fear most. Show them they’re being replaced.”

Again John Daniel Davidson says, “This isn’t a new idea on the Left, and it isn’t relegated to the fringe. Back in 2002, Ruy Teixeira and John Judis came out with “The Emerging Democratic Majority,” which popularized and mainstreamed the idea that white Americans would be replaced by a permanent majority coalition of non-white voters. Ten years later, after President Obama’s reelection, Teixeira took to the the pages of The Atlantic to argue that things were playing out just as he had predicted, and that if Democrats could keep giving Americans what they truly wanted—more welfare, more regulation, more government control over daily life—then “the emerging Democratic majority could be here to stay.”

More recently, turning the white nationalists’ “replacement” rhetoric on its head has become commonplace among Antifa protestors chanting “we will replace you,” a sentiment powerfully reinforced by the anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement protestors who recently tore down an American flag outside an ICE facility and replaced it with the Mexican flag.”

When such utter tyranny can advance unchecked, and is protected by a news media that is corrupt to the core, then freedom is a candle in the wind.

However, freedom’s greatest enemy does not reside in the camp of leftists, but in the pews of churches. A soundly sleeping generation of believers is our greatest enemy. Their apathy is our deepest danger.

But all is not lost.

History shows us that God does not wait for the lukewarm to rise to their duty. Our God is a consuming fire.  Do you wonder, why God doesn’t do something? You see America being torn apart, battered into submission, and molded into some ugly weak version of her former self. All in the name of progress. When those who are the moral bottom of society become the loudest voices of influence, shouldn’t God act?

I believe He is acting. But it is happening in a wholly unexpected way. He is at war to save our nation. The real question is, “Are you ready to understand what your assignment is in His war to save America?”

In a last-ditch effort to save America, God will pour out His Spirit. It will not be within the “system” but outside celebrated circles. It will restore much of Spirit-filled Pentecostal churches from business-model-entertainment-centers back to a movement.  Many small churches will become ground zero for the Glory of God.

This event will not be painless. Wicked agendas will topple. False doctrine will die an early death due to the healthy appetite of young converts. Church empires will be given the ultimatum to return to dependency on the Holy Spirit or be brushed aside, and suffer total loss.

God’s miracle will be a great boon to some, but a horrendous event for others. It will be a day of rejoicing and a day of mourning. It will be a complete display of extremes. God will do what He has to do to save this nation.

In this hour, it is not enough to be saved and filled with the Holy Spirit—not nearly enough. Every soldier of God must know what God is doing in their time. The New Testament begins and ends with the drama of willing vessels having their lives interrupted, ruined for mortal pursuits, commissioned for great exploits, and then launched into an amazing adventure.

    Wonderful message, I am frustrated by the fact that there are no leaders in the Christian arena that are standing up for freedom. I think we always need to pray but God is looking for someone to stand up and be a voice in the wilderness. We need to be vocal in love and let our voices be heard, instead of the country thinking we are going along with this evil. If anyone knows of a organization that is willing to march for Jesus and speak a word of truth in love, please let me know. We need to Rise Up!!!

      Isaiah 33:14 The sinners who are in err in Zion (SPIRIT) are afraid; trembling has seized their godless souls: “Who among us can dwell with the Consuming FIRE? Who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings?” Zion’s Coming Salvation ] For Zion’s (Spirit) sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem’s (Souls) sake I will not be quiet, until her (souls) righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation (without spot or wrinkle) as a burning torch. As Jeremiah spoke so I feel exactly the same saying this: If I say, “I will not mention Him, or speak any more in His name,” there is in my heart as it were a “Burning FIRE” shut up in my bones, and I am weary with holding it in, and so I cannot. “For behold, the day is coming, “Burning” like an oven, when all the arrogant (puffed up so-called Christians) and all evildoers will be stubble. The day that is coming shall set them Ablaze, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch.

      “Therefore wait for me,” declares the Lord, “for the day when I rise up to seize the prey. For my decision is to gather nations, to assemble kingdoms, to pour out upon them my indignation, all my “Burning Anger; for in the Eternal FIRE of my jealousy all the earth shall be consumed. This is His plan but who can “See” it let them come forth Now in absolute wholeness of ones body-soul and Spirit set apart in His camp to go out from it in the POWER of His “Therefore wait for me,” declares the Lord, “for the day when I rise up to seize the prey. For my decision is to gather nations, to assemble kingdoms, to pour out upon them my indignation, all my burning anger; for in the fire of my jealousy all the earth shall be consumed. Life summoning the peoples (souls) to come in until His wrath subsides as it will and the Glory to follow will have swallowed up all His adversary’s for that glorious Day Amen

      • kingskid48

        Those who will receive His wrath are not Christians. They are the arrogant unbelievers and hypocrites.

        • mackeysback

          UNFORTUNATELY brother many are calling themselves Christians in name only NOT the Indwelling POWER of His Spirit as they oppose Christ installing a different spirit that is counterfeit or instead of Christ. God dear brother is not mocked if I a Christian am presently sowing my souls life to this worlds appetites of both good as well as evil I will reap the harvest or Good or wrath as God is NO respecter of person Amen

      Mario, an excellent word article today as our Freedom is on the chopping block of enemies that are against true Freedom, which is only and succinctly found in Jesus Christ HimSelf.
      Beto O’Rourke just couldn’t blurt out his hate for PR-Trump after the El Paso shooting fast enough, without first loudly blaspheming our Lord Jesus Christ’s Name?! Hardly a candidate for President of these United States…what a disgusting individual☹️
      And isn’t it interesting how the leftist media at large is incredibly silent when it comes to one of their own crazy left thinkers being a violent psychopath, even the New York Post had enough common sense left to speak about that obvious fact.
      From the New York Post yesterday evening;

      “Dayton shooter Connor Betts may be antifa’s first mass killer”
      Democratic presidential candidates Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders succinctly condemned white nationalism — the ideology espoused by the El Paso shooter in his purported 2,300-word manifesto.
      However, when it comes to condemning the Dayton shooter’s militant far-left views, all remain mum. Others, such as anti-police activist Shaun King, even claimed the Dayton shooter targeted blacks in a hate crime, though ­racism doesn’t appear to have been a component of his twisted worldview.

      While Betts, the Dayton shooter, didn’t leave behind a manifesto, his extensive social-media footprint provides clues as to what may have inspired him. Federal investigators announced Tuesday that they are looking into his exploration of violent ideologies.

      Betts had long expressed support for antifa accounts, causes and individuals. That would be the loose network of militant leftist activists who physically attack anyone to the right of Mao in the name of “anti-fascism.” In particular, Betts promoted extreme hatred of American border enforcement. https://nypost.com/2019/08/06/dayton-shooter-may-be-antifas-first-mass-killer/

    Many small churches where two or possible three are really gathered will become ground zero for the “FIRE” of who can Stand in it as the Glory of God. This event will not be painless. Wicked agendas will topple. FALSE doctrines will and must die an early death due to the healthy appetite of young newly being formed in Christ Jesus converts. Church empires will be given the ultimatum to return to dependency on the Holy Spirit from that Lying spirit that opposes Christ called ANTI-Christ or be brushed aside, and suffer total loss regardless of them saying we cast out Demons in your name and all kinds of other religious activities. It just is All empty of Substance MEANING: Christ Himself who is Jesus because He is NOT in it and He doesn’t “KNOW” them Spiritually after the Spirit although what these false believers do know is this!!! Jesus after the nature of their flesh which is the LIE because He was Crucified in that nature DEAD and is ALIVE today in the Spirit “SPIRITUAL” and those that truly are in fellowship with Him are in that same One Spirit where their souls are being changed TRANSFORMED” into our Fathers True image In Spirit as In Jesus. May God the only true and Living God quicken and AWAKEN the souls of His people at least the ones we know are to be set apart unto and In Him alone to FIGHT the good fight of Faith to it’s end goal which is our/your Souls deliverance called the Salvation that is come and keeps coming until He FULLY Manifests Amen

    Racist a term used now when someone disagrees with the Left, makes Church people upset for preaching the truth, when in fact is a word found to do the most damage to someone they want destroyed, if you tell the truth your homophobic, racist, or a bastard, as one prophet shouted at me on video yesterday, all for revealing the plans of the enemy, telling and preaching the truth, that hate and racism has no place in the body of Christ, and they want power and control, they are proud of there book learning, they don’t need God, or his presence or his Holy Spirit, there making money, the people are happy siked out on drugs, but happy being told there ok, Gods all Love you just keep doing like you are, grace covers sin, when nothing covers sin but the blood, there BLIND drinking the kool-aid of another gospel other than the ones the Apostles preached, they don’t know there place in the body, they don’t know they are called to fight or how to fight, there foundation is not built on the solid rock foundation of Jesus Christ, there being fooled by a people full of hate and murder, when any one that can half see, can see what Mr. Trump has done for this nation all good, but if they scream racism long enough people are going to get mad, and act out O. started this mess and this is why some are fired up at me, because I exposed him as head of the Coup when the Lord showed me, and he is some peoples god, see how twisted the church has become, even calling me an old testament prophet, which I never said I was any such thing, and there wasn’t any such thing today, I have never claimed to be anything but a servent of the Lord, who preaches what he say’s and reveals what he tells me, and just show me where I haven’t preached the true word of God, and I will lay my bible down and never preach again, but until then they will get what the Lord tells me to give them, we as the Church have the power to turn all this mess around, if we just do as the word commands, pray and fight, for we are the restraining force that holds satan back, and if we don’t force him back, well just look what a lazy powerlless church has done, you preach the full Gospel truth now and they scream you have no love, no I have plenty of love it’s just my love don’t allow sin or evil, to keep growing, when he left us the Holy Spirit to help us over come it, but preach and they hate you with a passion, when what kind of a parent does not correct his child, and lets it just do anything it want’s, thats a bad parent, and God our Father is not a bad parent, just a parent who corrects in love, the ones who are his, we just have a bunch of disobedent children who don’t want to mind these days, they want to do as they please, heaven is a wonderful reward and home for the ones who obey God, not for the ones who don’t, but sorry there is rules to follow to get there, The Church Must Wake Up, they think its bad now just wait until them Dems get control of the WH again, we must stop this from happening, what gets me is 1 John 4:6 says those who know God heartheth us, and those who know not God heareth us not, hereby know ye, the Spirit of truth and the spirit of Error [belial, Beliar, Beelzebub, prince of this world] in other words, we follow the Spirit of truth or the Flesh, [ Beelzebub] and we have a mess of people following the wrong spirit[ remember [Isaac the promise, The Christ, th Holy Spirit,] [ Ishmael the anti-christ the flesh and here is who most people follow the man from the east which is the anti-christ, SELF the flesh] When we should be following the promise the Holy Spirit, we best be waking up. Be Blessed

    Beloved you were called to REAL FREEDOM, brothers. Only do NOT use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. [ Christ Has Set Us Free ] For REAL Freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of Religious slavery.Why? because of false brothers (believers) secretly brought in—who slipped in to spy out our spiritual freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might bring us into their religious bondage which is absolute slavery— Live as people who have been set FREE from the INSIDE WHERE Christ is OUT where Christ also is manifested His presence and is continually coming, not using your Freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. These false Christians are wolves in external sheep like Christian garments promising you/ them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of (sin) corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved. Amen

  6. mackeysback

    Be enslaved to NOTHING but a prisoner of our Lord alone Jesus Christ Amen

  7. Gregory A Dean

    The more that the left, and Satan, push then the more conservatives, especially evangelicals, knee in prayer. It is literally 2 Chron. 7:14. We are seeing the beginnings of a spiritual revolution. This has a spiritual Renaissance among believers as well.

    There is always hope. Even in darkness. And much of what we are seeing is designed to scare us into inaction. It has the opposite effect.

    • Darlene W

      Yes ! I watch our President and how he stays focused and doesn’t back down in spite all the evil thrown at him.

  8. kingskid48

    A female Texas representative is running around the liberal news networks, accusing President Trump of “working his crowds at rallies into a frenzy till they chant for hispanics to be shot”. NBC is as bad as CNN. They ran the video and let her lies stand. This is nothing but dangerous. She is frightening people and someone is liable to get hurt. Cooler heads in Texas need to call her on the carpet and talk some sense into her. Can the furtherance of her political career really be that important to her? Or can she really be insane enough to believe her own rantings? We are in the day that , “Truth has fallen in the streets”, and, “Every man does what’s right in his own eyes”. We are in Matthew 24. I don’t believe we will see everything turn around and America return to what it was. I do believe that there will be a spiritual awakening, a huge revival that will bring in the harvest of souls. But God can do anything and He will do all His pleasure. I’ve closed my social media accounts. They are too time consuming, plus the rhetoric is too heated. I don’t need it in my spirit. It’s time to seek the Lord and grow in the Spirit.

    • Carolina

      Agreed kingskid48,
      The Texas Rep you mentioned is no friend of her state, this nation, or its true cause. Matthew 24 is in action right now and will be fulfilled, I too discern that there will be a Revival & a kind of spiritual awakening I hope of epic proportions. YES do NO more social media accounts, we never did Facebook or any of the rest. It is too unsecured, too unsafe, in far too many cyber space ways now. Many Twitter postings are frankly astonishingly foul, yet they won’t stop them, but they’ll block out a biblical scripture post or Christian view that is posted.

    • mackeysback

      I copy you here dear brother as you say with added emphasis if I may: I do believe that there will be a “Spiritual Awakening, a huge revival that will bring in the harvest of souls. “Yes brother it is happening Now for those whose WHOLE hearts or house of Spirit-Soul and body are FIXED on Him But God can do anything and He will do all His pleasure.Amen!! I’ve closed my social media accounts. They are too time consuming, plus the rhetoric is too heated.Yes ones mind if it is the Mind of Christ Jesus “MUST” be FREE from all the gossip war stories and endless speculations in His name. I don’t need it in my spirit. Actually it’s our souls the the enemy is at work on thru the spirit of the world NOT the Indwelling Spirit of our Jesus as Christ in our souls Gods Holy Place and our present Living Hope of Glory Amen It’s time to seek the Lord and grow in the Spirit. Yes it is while He may be found. Man must turn to Him and away from himself with all his or her religious Babylonian garments. Gods People are Hearing His Voice today WITHIN themselves Spiritually as you say Trumpeting this: COME Out of He (her being the Unfaithful soul) lest you receive of Her plagues for her err has been piling up even onto heaven (spiritual) and Now her fate is at the door of total annihilation . This is that foul Jezebel soulish spirit that Jesus spoke of at work in the body called the Church in Thyatira. Come out of Her WITHIN Amen

  9. Marilyn Schnell

    Thank you for your courage and boldness to say what so many know is truth but haven’t the vehicle or audience you have to do so. But we must say it, no matter how large or small our audience. And pray fervently that God guide and protect you and be your wind and wings and breath and hope as you venture into this arena. I say yes and amen!! Increase our boldness, O God. May we be strong and courageous as we step into territories to take back what has been stolen! We will do it because You have done it! All victory is Yours Oh Lord!!

  10. LuAnn Marie Morton-Earl

    I am from Colorado, where the American Flag was replaced by a Mexican flag at an ICE facility. I have to say… That whole thing was ludicrous. And, it is still unknown what they really meant by doing that. The State says the ones responsible are being prosecuted… but, I don’t see that either, and I live here!! So, what is being done to them and WHY?? That question has not been answered, YET in this state. So, if that ICE facility belongs to Mexico, then why are they against sending those illegals back to the country where they belong? The whole thing is CRAZY!! Okay, so maybe we should say that all the ICE facilities belong to Mexico, put Mexican flags on all of them and send them all back ASAP to where and whom they belong!! WAKE UP OH SLEEPER!!

  11. Darlene W

    Exactly! We must stay focused on what God is doing in this hour and not become distracted by all noise of evil. We trust God’s plan and pray.Terrible darkness is being exposed and is so contrasted to the Light that people will have to wake up.He told us it would be as the days of Noah,that dense darkness would cover the earth,that we would arise and shine.

    • mackeysback

      Sister this is what the Lord is saying today to Christians NOT Unbelievers: Circumcise yourselves to the Lord; remove the foreskin of your hearts, O men of Judah (Spirit) and inhabitants of Jerusalem (soul) ; lest my Wrath go forth like FIRE, and burn with none to quench it, because of the Evil of your deeds.” But they did not obey or incline their ear, but they Walked in their own counsels and the stubbornness of their Evil hearts, and they went backward to destruction and not forward into Life

      ANSWER: let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies (SOULS) washed with pure “living” water flowing from within out from the very midst of our INNER Most being where Christ is if He is as Lord Amen

      • Debra

        Yes, Yes and Amen!

  12. 4hiskingdomhere

    Yep! Here we are! Our lives disrupted for God’s Kingdom as we travel across the USA!. I have worked for Jesus, my Boss since the mid-1990’s. I love every moment of it! I can only say that I glory and boast in my weaknesses for His Strength.

    • mackeysback

      Yes dear brother because when He brings upon us many a trial and Tribulation for Righteousness sake then we are made weak as we are dying daily being made weak In Him alone so we also are made strong as we wait for Him as He applies His Grace to be the sufficient ingredient needed to manifested is glory Amen. Peter was correct is saying that it absolutely is with “MUCH DIFFICULTY” that those who are righteous in Christ alone are being Saved that what are we to think the outcome is to be with those who believe as the demons do and tremble? It is to be a terrible thing to fall into the hands of an angry God for rejecting the Work of the Spirit within ones own soul that He Himself died for to set free by the In-working Salvation that must be worked out as In Jesus Amen

    • mackeysback

      For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, (to the fleshly nature) we will certainly also be united with him in the likeness of his resurrection (resurrected nature) Oh that we may know him and the POWER of his resurrection (Which flows out from His death IN us) and the fellowship of His sufferings, becoming like him in his death, if somehow I may attain the resurrection · from the dead. Not that I have already obtained all this or have already reached my goal, but I press on in order to · make it my own because · Christ Jesus has made me his own Yes i/we press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus which is the total transformation of ones own soul from mortality to immortality as Peter is saying as I copy here in 1 Peter 1:9 because we/ you are obtaining the GOAL of our/your Faith—which is the Salvation of your souls. Amen. Yes what a joy to be ALIVE Spiritually In Him Amen

      • Carolina

        12 But now if Christ (the Messiah) is preached as raised from the dead, how is it that some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
        13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not risen;
        14 And if Christ has not risen, then our preaching is in vain [it amounts to nothing] and your faith is devoid of truth and is fruitless (without effect, empty, imaginary, and unfounded).
        15 We are even discovered to be misrepresenting God, for we testified of Him that He raised Christ, Whom He did not raise in case it is true that the dead are not raised.
        16 For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised;
        17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is mere delusion [futile, fruitless], and you are still in your sins [under the control and penalty of sin];
        18 And further, those who have died in [spiritual fellowship and union with] Christ have perished (are lost)!
        19 “”If we who are [abiding] in Christ have hope only in this life and that is all, then we are of all people most miserable and to be pitied.””
        1 Corinthians 15:12-18 (AMP)

        • mackeysback

          This is what I am Seeing as Paul saw in his day so I See through the same Inward eye of my Lord today as I copy:

          Philippians 3:10-18 English Standard Version (ESV)
          Oh that I Paul may know him and the Power of His Resurrection, and may share His Sufferings, becoming like Him (conformed) in his death, Why? that by any means possible I may attain the Resurrection out from the dead.
          Straining Toward the Goal
          12 Not -Not-Not that I have already obtained this or am already made Perfect, but I press-press-press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. 13 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind (as in my development in Christ) and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the Goal for the (ETERNAL) prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let those of us who are Spiritually “MATURE” think-think think (spiritually) this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will REVEAL that also to you/ME. 16 Only let us hold true to what we have already attained. “SPIRITUALLY IN Christ IN us”

          Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us. 18 For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, Walk as Enemies of the Cross of Christ. Today dearest Carolina we have masses of peoples calling themselves Christians that are absolute ENEMIES of the Cross and just won’t take it up to follow Jesus preaching a whole different doctrine that denies the Cross “NOT” in words but in their Walk they are enemies as I once was ignorantly for almost 40 yrs of my so-called Spirit filled Christian Life until He visited me likened to Saul/Paul and blinded my religious eye so as to Open His Peace I say to you always and at every turn in my Jesus my God is my earnest prayer for one and all Amen

  13. Noel

    If God does not pour out His Spirit and His people do not die to their self-serving ways, there is no remedy for this nation. The mouthpieces of satan keep vomiting their filth across the airwaves. The liars keep their father, the devil, happy as they fulfill his plans for this nation. This calls for boldness and courage on the part of the Saints to truly be the Church in this hour. May God break and empower us all for what lies ahead.

    • mackeysback

      You said it all right here dear brother Noel: If His people do “NOT” Die to their self-serving ways, there is no remedy for this nation.

  14. Desertstream

    Right… and it will come during the greatest hour of chaos and lawlessness this nation will ever endure. Amen, Mario

  15. free73735

    Reblogged this on free73735 and commented:
    In some ways, a portion of the church (at large) have joined the “snowflakes.” They want to follow Jesus, as long as doing so doesn’t make them feel “unsafe” or vulnerable, to opposition. I think some of this is tied to major drug use in our nation. An addict “feels”somewhat “safe,” until they get dope sick & need their next fix. This is not meant as a negative commentary on addicts. My only daughter died several yrs ago at 31, during an argument with her boyfriend. He shot her in the head with a 357. “Natgeo Investigates” has at least 60 vids on drug use. It’s called “Drug Inc- 300 Billion $$$ Business.” Anyone who wants to be better educated re: drugs would benefit immensely if watched. It shows drugs being made, sold, used, & transported worldwide, as well as here in America.

    Beautifully said, Thank you Mario!
