States and its citizens face bigger danger from
Israeli NSA and Zionists than anyone else. But one must ask why such
things were told differently to Muslims and to Christians it is because
their game can only work if these two religions keep fighting with each
other than work on the real problem.

NSA/NASA is very same thing, Israelies were not very happy about cutting
NASA?s funding at all, it means their agendas around the world
desperately need money to work. They were also not very happy about me
finding out reality of BenLaden, but I do admire the intelligent work by
others who exposed his reality. It should also be noted that NASA?s lies
were never ever questioned by media till today, we have only tiny bits
of stories here and there. Citizens of Europe and United states should
know that they are funding their own killer. It is very interesting to
note that since the creation of NSA faithless has reached its heights
around the world. Oh yeah and one more thing people of the world all
this is not complete you need to learn to analyse to find out more about
the reality of the world on your own.

Though these are my thoughts but they can be wrong, if so you only have
to prove me wrong. May God free the world soon.

thanks to NSA for planting more extremism. After all this at ordinary
level a version of extremism was created around the world where people
would hate each other. But the fact is all this got successful because
all of us forgot the boundaries created by God and thus l
