A 20+ year-long investigation by INTERPOL is monitoring Jewish individuals who made potential insider-trading transactions on Wall Street soon prior and after 9/11. [INTERPOL] some of these stories have been dramatized on the Showtime TV show BILLIONS. The investigation focuses on Elon Musk. Investigators were getting close, which is why he sold a lot of his Cryptocurrency. Fast-forward to today, Elon Musk is being held hostage by White Nationalists who are attempting to hijack his weapon system. This is why he wants to takeover Twitter. Bringing Trump back on Twitter would cause a chain reaction where Trump could return to the presidency and install an Autocracy in America, there would no longer be any more Presidential Elections.

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 548 & BENKYO RADIO 548.

Lately, I’m watching the disturbing documentary “Keep Sweet Pray and Obey” about the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and the role of polygamy (you can watch it on Netflix). There’s also “Under the Banner of Heaven” on Hulu. Now, remember, when you watch this, you must remember that not all Christians are wackos, but that’s why it’s important for documentaries to investigate the scary Churches that have gone too far.

On a happier note, I am enjoying re-watching Major Dad on Netflix, and I highly recommend everybody to watch it if you have not. It would be great if it got a remake.

Until Next Time!

Let’s all take a moment to THANK PRESIDENT BIDEN for immediately getting to work once he got elected to slow down the COVID-19 pandemic that President Trump handled pathetically. I want to thank every man and woman at the Department of Defense (DOD) for the Warp Speed program which sped up exponentially to make sure we did not have over 10 million American lives dead from COVID-19. We are at 1 million dead, and we should be glad it’s not more.

Now, this video below is about the book and movie “Black Hawk Down.” It’s one of my most cherished movies, and I’ve talked about it many blogposts ago. I love the mantra of that movie (no man left behind), and especially at the end, where his fellow man says at the end of the day, “it’s about the guy next to you.”

Until Next Time!

I am immensely impressed with Razer’s sustainability campaign. The more it continues, the more they find innovative ways to be eco-friendly and plant more trees. It’s amazing.

Until Next Time!
