Transcript

Everyone needs to go and look into Ghislaine Maxwell's project called TerraMar. The news isn't gonna talk about it, but in short, she partnered with the Clinton Foundation and found loopholes in maritime laws of poorly regulated international waters. She even had a submarine. And meanwhile, we're supposed to believe that she was in Haiti in 2010 for the disaster relief, even though she's in prison for child trafficking. You'd have to have the IQ of a worm to not think that that's weird, especially now American citizens are banned from adopting children from Tier, and I have a hard time believing that that's not related. You should look into Laura Silsbee. I'll make a video on it. But, Yeah. Anyways, this is my driver, and, I don't see anyone talking about Terramar. I feel like that's where a lot of this is coming from.
