Governments around the world are exercising their power to control their respective populations. It is not specific to any one country. I noticed this since last year. It seems to be a coordinated effort. Keep your eyes peeled and your ears to the ground. IMHO this far-right, Alice in Wonderland time we’re being subjected to […]

On that same note, what if Facebook modified posts for certain people who view them? Would be […]
