Apropos of John H Doe

          A name we all know
   
        Just like Uncle Sam

Jennifer Proxenos April 28, 2025 at 9:38 AM Both have to do with hiding/using death, the former cannot prove his identity - a real John Doe he doesn't exist, but who can prove this, neither do the people from the graves, who are receiving retirement cheques for many years to come and those picketing in this regard, there is no face recognition because of masks and peak caps worn, all this has to do with enrichment - both benefit from hiding and death. Hopes this makes sense Gershon. Blessings Jennifer.

Joseph P. DiMino April 22, 2025 at 6:08 AM Lots of Does getting retirement checks for 200 years. Voting from the grave -- and picketing while wearing masks...getting checks as well...quite a suspicious smell.
