Ezekiel 7:23 (Ad)

Jim Rickards here - former advisor to the CIA, the White House, and the Pentagon - with an urgent warning regarding the 2024 election. I don’t want to frighten you. But as an American patriot, it is my Christian duty to share the illegal election plot I’ve just uncovered. See, the Kamala campaign may be planning something so egregious… so despicable… and frankly, so unconstitutional that it could completely destroy our country. I predict a 50% market crash… Violent riots in the streets… And the potential introduction of martial law.

It’s a scenario that only the Holy Bible could predict.
