  1. The message was. Your vote worths nothing, democracy is a farse. What counts is the power of money, that can pay lawyers to produce mountains of corruption acussations, that owns the media, that buys judges … The people now disposessed from its elected representation has learned your lesson … this was expected .. as in Bolivia with Evo Morales

  2. On which side are the deaths?

  3. The country is literally in a revolution right now, an actual UPRISING is happening in your eyes! There is no government because the people are risen up against it! And the U.S. just put a travel warning 5 days into the chaos as "not recomended for travel?" While in Mexico they immediately hike the travel warning mere minutes after any shooting which has nothing to do with tourism. This despite the fact that the U.S. has mass shooting literally every week! Why is there no travel warning against going to the U.S. where anyone having a bad day can just flip out and mow down a crowd?

  11. Jesus Christ called people everywhere to repent, so if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe with all your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved and inherit the kingdom of heaven and eternal life. To this, people would accept Jesus Christ in life in their hearts and told other people how good he is, how he saves, heals and frees and gives eternal life for free 2
