Some of you, too, are following Alisa Valdes Rodriguez . . .

. . . and some, understandably, are skeptical about what she has written. I suggest everyone read this, let it sit with you for a moment and then question if perhaps we have become a member state of Putin.

We've often thought of Trump as a buffoon, a loser, a conman. He is all of those things and also an acolyte of Putin. A mycorrhizal-like network of interconnected entities not working for the common good of the Untied States, under ground and invisible, has been well established over many decades. Which is why Alisa's research and reporting has her in immediate danger.

This is real, this is dangerous and this is going to be hard to root out, if it ever can be. Too much power, influence and money is involved in keeping the many evil deeds underground.
