Heads up, ninjas. Listen, I got a story about a deathly soccer match in Brazil, and you're not going to believe that. Deathly.

You say, speaking of deadly, and then throw the knife.
Speaking of deadly, we're going to be talking about the genocide that happened in Rwanda in 1994 and the hidden agenda of the United States of America. There's a lake in Turkey that has a hidden fortress and a sea monster all hiding underneath the surface. Find out more.

Chapter 5: What controversial soccer incident led to a referee's death in Brazil?
And then we just slowed down because we said no. Oh, dang. All you got to do is just say some nice stuff about Israel. I'm just saying someone controls this world. I don't know who. God does. And his opposition would be the people who... Do you guys hear about this movement that's happening right now where people are doing federal income tax strike? No. How do you do that? How do I join?
Everybody. Don't pay federal taxes.
They can't get us if we're a unified front.
No, but... They really couldn't. That would be... Everyone just said... That's what everyone's saying. They said it would take at least one million people in the United States to say, I'm not paying federal tax because, one, the Pentagon has failed the eighth audit in a row.
Exactly.
Trillions of dollars are missing. This whole Doge thing, you know, like exposing the government of mishandling funds, the Minnesota stuff.
The stuff going on in Minnesota.
So people are like... Why are we paying taxes?
Literally, why are we paying taxes? We're all busting our tails out here, and Minnesota is giving millions of dollars away to empty daycares.

The police officer uniforms that NYPD found? She told me about it. Isn't that nuts? There's like 20 uniforms in a box on the side of the street in New York City. Legitimate uniforms. They found them and they're like, yeah, these are legit. And they belong to some police officer apparently. I also want to apologize to everyone that thought we got too political.
Because we're really not political people.
It's apolitical.
No, we're anti-political. We believe in an empire. Bi-political. We believe in the kingdom of heaven.
So you don't think it was a PSYOP? Why would one police officer have 200 uniforms?
I have no idea. Not a clue. I don't know. That's weird. Why drop those on the street? Especially if they're legit. Was it something like a plan gone wrong or something? It was the Rapture, but just the men in blue. Wow.
That'd be unique.

Chapter 8: What is the story behind the Lake Van monster?
Yeah, it was terrible. But ultimately, the Tutsi tribe, they were eventually able to create a safe haven and form a peace deal with the Hutus. But the conflict, it lasted a total of 100 days and over 800,000 people were killed.
Oh my gosh. Wow. 800,000.
800,000. And it wasn't declared a genocide until after it stopped.
Yeah.
How did it end?
Just a peace deal and stuff?
Yeah, just a peace deal. But they were able to negotiate who they put a Hutu as the president of Rwanda. And so they're like, oh, we won now. But it was just a formality. Yeah. Because the real person in charge was the vice president, who was a Tutsi. And he was actually aligned with the United States of America. And my whole thing was like, well, why didn't America get involved?
And did they actually benefit from this potential change in power with these people being wiped out? Like, I don't know. And basically what it did was Rwanda for the longest time was under French control. And after this genocide, it was now under U.S. control because the vice president was basically like buddy buddies with America and Western interests alike.
But what it did was it opened up trade routes from the Congo. So in the Congo, it was like newly discovered stuff of like cobalt, gold and tin. So now the U.S. had full access to the Congo resources through Rwanda. And so they were just waiting on that change of power. They won't say that. Yeah. But that's what happened. Yeah. You can't, you can't say that. Yeah.
