      The cancers they slip into our food, water, air and medicines is aiding and abetting murder at the least.
      Cancer kills more than Covid, yet we should trust doctors who hide the cures to give us vaccines?
      Talk about insanity.....
      My son had cancer when he was 7. He barely survived their "cure".
      Most doctors are sadists with no SINCERE respect for any life.

    It was late October 1975 my first day to drive my first car to school in the 11th grade. 1964 Pontiac Catalina. At lunch time some friends and I cruised around the school and turned on the AM radio and this song was on and then we rolled down the windows, cranked up the 20 amp radio and leaned low in the seat and drove slowly and enjoyed every beat of the song! And I can still remember it as vividly as it was just the other day!
