happens with such witnesses i got it on my site. one of the many odd checks. merciless shooting on our t.v. . when an uncomfortable question leads to a grave accusation towards who is more is enough obviously. the president who isn't supposed to hide anything. where it's someone asking him why do you make a secret of it when the powers to be suppress the voice of those who think different. when you get experiencing very serious problems off of the saakashvili government came to power in two thousand and three but the book that was when the problems began piling up. interviews were now off limits to our journalists they

were all from beason up and humiliated in public and one of the attempt to protect property puts life in real danger in fact we have been deprived of the only names and living i have gone to the regionals with all the papers. got them legalized the ownership rights on the basis of companies freedom becomes just a stage prop. this is a lot of the balancing on the edge of past and present and. missing reality that's nothingness. but if you enter this time. the mystery of supernatural will reach a. shaman no siberia.
