UPDATE

Blog Posted:10/13/2023 9:52:00 AM

Hi everyone. I want to thank you for all your comments and support through this challenging time. I am unable to answer or post more yet in this chaos. Doctors don't want me to be at my house anymore and the toxins have affected my dog and I. I got critical things and paperwork out of there recently. In addition, now I am being harassed by the criminals involved with doing the burn of toxins in the Ohio Train Derailment because I exposed the truth. I will write when I can, but there is a major amount of work to do. Thank you!
