Thanks for coming through. It's good to connect again.
There is plenty of craziness in baby food, dairy products, and water to name just a few containing a main ingredient in rocket fuel.
Naturalnews.com is a good source for breaking developments in the fight against tyranny by poison, and Mercola.com sometimes has good information.

It can be something else to keep up with, but we have to be aware of the dangers so we can prepare ourselves and others by seeking and creating alternatives.

Shine on
