There is a big attempt at merging America and Israel into one country. It suits the Israelis since it gives them an empire with unlimited money and military arms.
Does it suit the USA? I'm not sure. But it's really weird. I've never seen anything like this before.

Alcohol prohibition had a massive impact.
Restaurants make most of their profits on alcohol sales. So they all went bankrupt after this law was passed. Food quality didn't recover in America for 50 years.

It was the modern Boogeyman. It was supposed to scare you.
75 years old. The canary in the coal mine. You know he's on everything they got. TRT, HGH, NAD, Stem Cell injections. Who knows what else.
