In AS, the nervous system is well formed, but individual neurons do not function properly due to the lack of a key...

South Africa has so much to offer yet the small cabal of so-called leaders seem to lose all sense of why they are in office when they have all this power and wealth. I moved here because I believe the...

Dearest Donald, Now that that you made plenty of noise about restoring intergrity and honor to the government, can you please START NOW, and expose the past criminal activities of Jeb Bush including his covert drug money laundering for Raul Salinas (Mexico), Alberto Duque (Coolombia) and George Morales (Colombia) as well as the murders he arranged for Morales and Barry Seal to keep Daddy Bush from being exposed and prosecuted? http://www.globalresearch.ca/jeb-bush-the-mexican-drug-cartel-and-free-trade/5448747 http://barrysealmurder1986jebbusholivernorth.blogspot.com/ http://www.scam.com/showthread.php?684770-Are-Jeb-Bush-s-Drug-Dealer-Criminal-Contacts-For-Real-Or-A-Scam/page2 After he finishes dancing around the issue for an hour you can then ask him to remind all about...
