Although you cut.; more grass will grow.'

China's might is people based Why are they being so abased? Free expression under a ban The locked in souls; woman and man A nations tapestry; world known Where are its champions? Has all reason flown? An unyielding wall came down Through Dictates based On un-safe grounds The wall is cracking. now stress lines show' As army's of people aren't allowed to go To buy a vegetable; or stuff to wear, its so! Its not a place now; of debate or philosophy' But of fear, and; oppressive; autocracy.!

Felt the same helplessness during the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre (interesting, Google wouldn't "auto fill" suggested spelling) Joe, thanks for lifting your voice, facial recognition tracking is being tested here at airports, using the same tech, along with cashless society being pushed by the fed reserve, in cahoots with the un & wef... we're at risk of losing our freedom here 2...

We are at the brink, I am Burning inside with indignation I see how peoples trust has Been so abused Jimbo..And I Don't want to hurt anyone.' But I wish to wake them only; maybe.? And maybe We can hold onto something of freedom.? But is That then no freedom.? I hand it over the Lord 'take it from me' if you are willing? the zeal for your work is almost consuming me.'

Thank You Arlo.' I have been Dismayed by the situation in China, yet immediatly occupied By the problems back Home. I addressed that first I Ask forberance from the worthy Citizens of China, for my late Entry into support of their lives and Freedoms.' A motto below for all who Revere liberty.'

And greedy corporations, and sports conglomerates are giving the Chinese government profits to further commit abuse and murder. Coming to your local theater. Blessings Joe. God hears all. The greatest deception of Satan was giving these fools the impression that he does not exist. Even if martians put us here, it does not change one truth about God and Christ.
