trying to pin the blame on unsung suchi for the persecutions of the writing is as if that somehow absolves the military of guilt even though it stands accused of carrying out many if not most of the atrocities and he said that the civilian government was straying into the orbit of china which seems to be an attempt to rebranded coup as being pro-west or very at the very least anti beijing and he's also admitted that there's a lot of money in this for him he says that there is a big bonus in it for him at the end of the day if he manages to get the sanctions against me in lifted so it's going to be interesting to hear what he has to say next ok. in the aftermath of january's capitol hill riots in washington conspiracy theories from the dark corners of the web have been dragged out into the light the q and on movement for example which contends that our world is somehow controlled by a cub all of satan worshipping cannibalistic paedophiles followers believe that q. is one or several senior military or intelligence officials who have been trying to expose a deep state plot against donald trum
