-> 😏 Maybe We’re The 1st Spiritist* Pop-Metal Or Rock Band In This World…
But Don’t Pay Much Attention To Our Neanderthal English, HaHa ❤️
*NOTE:
-> Spiritist is who professes Spiritism, the Gospel continuation
It has began with the books by Allan Kardec and continued in the books by Francisco C. Xavier, the greatest and more important medium/prophet of spirits of the last centuries…

Being grateful is a TOTAL GAME CHANGER! ❤️

“Monumental” is relative. Photographing famous people and turning them into “idols” is ridiculous.

WTF!? The second photo wirh two girls… are you kidding? LGBT defence??? One of them stuffed raw chicken in her own vagina in the store. Besides that they both danced in the church with agressive, vulgar songs. That an awfal example! People are obsessed with LGBT agenda, as if there are not real problems in the world.

푸틴 사진이 놀라웠어요. 그가 영어를 매우 잘하는 사람이라는 것, 비틀군단과 비틀즈를 구분하여 영어로 말한다는 것. 그러나 누군가를 on the floor 하도록 만드는 푸틴의 “Yesterday” 선호는 언어학적 지식을 모두 일으킨다는 사실에 저도 두려웠습니다. 나는 아베의 얼굴을 무척 좋아했지만 아베의 결론은 우익으로 절대 친하지 말라는 가르침을 그가 죽고서야 만날 수 있었습니다. 내가 얼마나 오류를 많이 가진 본능적이고 직감적으로 행동하는 사람인지 이 강의는 무서웠습니다.

It’s a cultural moment where all these satanic SoLLUMINATI the mob all the evil ones wanna take over America, they’ve been replacing a lot of politicians with actors and in the music industry pretty sure they’re killing them. America you need to stand up against satanic and all these evil liars.
