As bizarre as SHELWORTH “let them all out” comment may sound, it actually fits the model of this country’s reaction to Covid 19.


So far it appears that the cure will be worse than the actual virus, so “letting them all out” falls right in place with our existing strategy.

No wonder guns and ammo are flying off the shelves, even being purchased by hypocrite liberals.


The elites pushing “bail reform” love unleashing criminals on an unarmed populace. Eventually, it will get so bad that the lemmings will beg government to end the chaos and restore order at any cost.


These criminals are merely pawns to advance the New World Order’s agenda.


Haters, go ahead…point and snicker all you like. Nobody’s lampooning preppers now, are they? Pretty soon, nobody will be laughing at goldbugs, either.

Unless it came from a recently transferred prisoner, an infected staff member introduced it into the prison population.
