Bill D@popcornreel Wow. I had read some quotes from this speech but this is the first time I’ve seen the whole text. It’s even more powerful than I imagined. Thank you for sharing it.
One World One People@popcornreel TWW: A truth cannot stand alone, it is always in response to deception. The danger that deception presents can be overt in its risk or subtle. *The great ask great questions, subtle yet direct. How do we respond today as freedoms and independence are challenged? We will stand together and speak as one. OWOP
