    Firstly, thank you to Mr Masterson for his service. Also, his wife sounds like a true angel & it was nice to hear him give her that credit.
    Secondly, thank you Larry, for always speaking about our loss of freedoms these days. Too many are still giving their freedom up & before we know it, it will be too late. The push to get rid of cash at the moment, here in Australia, is starting to awaken many people I know, which is a start. Thank you again for another great interview.

    • @VoicesofHistory
      @VoicesofHistory  4 месяца назад +3

      I always enjoy hearing from Australia. Thank you for your kind words and for watching Ed's second interview. I hope you've seen the first one I did in 2006. Ed needs our prayers. My hope was to someday travel to Australia but with the way the world is now it does not look very likely. Never let them take your guns away! Never let them take your freedom away!! I would love to come over and share a message like this with your country. Perhaps it could happen.

      @@VoicesofHistory thank you to replying to my comment, Larry. Let me tell you that I still know plenty of people here with firearms. My husband got a couple , legally, last year, so I like to think we are covered. I believe you would have a large audience here if that could ever be arranged. You have much wisdom & speak the truth of what’s really going on in this crazy world. I have adult children & 2 young grandchildren who live in California & I’ve not seen them in a long time, due to fearing being overseas when anything could happen. Look at 2020, one minute we are all just living our lives & next minute, locked down & in fear. Who knows what their next plan in. Luckily I was woken up at Easter in 2020, thanks to a friend who sent me that documentary by the Dutch lady, who has now mysteriously “suicided”. I was only panicky that first couple of months but since then, I try to talk to people I come in touch with about what’s going on. I was a support worker with the elderly during this time & quit that job before the mandates came in. I knew it was coming, but my friends & family did think I was nuts. We all know how these “conspiracy” theories have turned out, TRUE! The stories I’ve heard in the last 4 years have shocked me. I am so glad I didn’t get the experimental j a b that they forced on many. I know a lot of people who’ve been sick since. A friend’s 23 year old son dropped dead after his booster. He’d lost his sense of taste & smell prior then got the booster & lost his hearing then died. The coroner told the family it would be a year before any findings would be relayed to them. I’ve lost all confidence in the medical industry, although there are still plenty of doctors who are awake but are still fearful of speaking out due to the possibility of losing their licences. How horrific is that? My husband is type 1 diabetic & his specialist was appalled when he was told he wasn’t getting any j a b s. My husband has recently stopped 2 of his medications, not the insulin, & had his bloods done the other day & they are PERFECT. He feels like those meds weren’t needed & his blood test results proved that.
      Yes, I did watch this brave man’s first interview with you & enjoyed that as much as I did this one. They all have incredible stories of courage & strength. I feel very sad for them to hear how they were treated when they got home. I hope those that did this to them now feel ashamed of themselves for what they did. I’ve always felt drawn to the stories of these Vietnam Vets as I was born in 1966 & seeing how young they were, is just heartbreaking. The youth of today don’t realise how good they’ve had it & take a lot for granted. I doubt many of them would volunteer to go to war to fight for their county. Seeing how many have been this last 4 years, not only young people, but happy to give up their choices & freedoms.
