12:52 pm
has fingers and actresses and picked up liberty to be trying to get that kind of portion. for me, she's showing me how to make another type of question. this portion is only for women, so women can use it. so that they can feel how amy a mar. 2 thinks only men can get that kind of power. that in fact, women can also kind of power by using that portion so you can get more confidence in the r d v that charlotte believes we saw showed her this recipe because they believe inequality in the ways there's no discrimination against gender. that's why we want to encourage women. that's why they trying to get that kind of portion. well, present for me. thank you so much. this is going to make me power. charlotte says she 1st saw away when she was just 7 years old. her mom can also communicate with
12:53 pm
them and my family and my sister. some people practice ways that we believe that they became ways after that. that's why in all family we can communicate with them very easily. that her gift comes at a price. she tells me that every person has to make a sacrifice in order to strengthen their power. and ha, ha, it's a big one for me, i can marry. if i marry, if i get merry with some when my power will be lost. so this is the fest commitment is lie, i must be single. i must be verging why you're trying to communicate ways i you must be pure, not only the spiritual part, but also the physical part as much as yukon. charlotte tells me she had wanted a normal life, but came to realize she had a duty to help people with

12:56 pm
the army has been accused of arresting, torturing, and killing thousands of people, charlotte says she is now refusing to help any one connected to the military, but others are not so discerning. the commander in chief men on klein's belief to be a devout follow of an astrologer, monk, and ways of practitioner who reportedly advised him to shoot protest is in the head . charlotte has now gone into hiding, but she manages to send me a message of resistance. we do a lot of campaigns counter attacking up this free jewel. supernatural needs of military cover means it is what we call a preacher revolution. those involved in the spiritual resistance have been exploiting a superstitious belief that men can be weakened by women's clothing. during the
12:57 pm
crackdown, they encouraged protesters to hang skirts and underwear on the streets. the soldiers, if they go entering the garvin, they think that they are most healing energy, the masculine power, whether he loves her and the could be in the turbo danger in the future. so as to the result, they didn't dare enter the street so we can leave them much of the soldiers. that is the superstitious nature, the superstition action of military dictators. charlotte says her spiritual campaigns have successfully intimidated the military, but she says she is now wanted and has been told as a warrant out for her arrest, entered the military co, and the dictator without democracy, no one is safe. nowhere is safe. and i'm not in the safe
