Andre Malraux who was Minister of Propaganda for the Merovingian puppet Charles de Gaulle.


"The clergy converted the simple teachings of Jesus into an engine for enslaving mankind and adulterated by artificial constructions into a contrivance to filch wealth and power to e clergy Clelin Ferrell Jersey , in fact, constitute the real Anti-Christ.? ? Thomas Jefferson
