U.S. Senate rescinds War Powers Act. Votes for many more years of unjust WAR's




I find it hard to believe that 100 U.S. Senators have the power to continue waging wars all over the world based on lies and deception for invading Iraq. This is amazing information and should be an education to all humanity. For a small group of people to have such power over billions of lives is so contrary to democratic principles espoused by our governments and media. Take heed humanity, you're in for a very bumpy ride regarding any peaceful resolution to the situation at hand in Ukraine and elsewhere. In addition, we have 5 cowardly Senators that abstained or did not vote for such a crucial bill. This Bill was initiated in February 2023. For those senate members that attended and voted "YEA" on this bill you should be enshrined in the book of true leadership and proclaimed a valid member of the human race. Your actions speak louder than the words of our mainstream media.

So, there you have it humanity as listed below for all to see and research at your leisure. We are doomed by a handful of zealots and puppets of the ruling class. May we all pray and maintain faith that the greater power of the universe has taken note and will bring forth true justice to our home on earth.
