In June, Rep. Eric Burlison, a Missouri Republican serving on the House Oversight Committee, appeared on BlazeTV’s Prime Time with Alex Stein, where he discussed his belief that giants once existed. Burlison told Stein he was scheduled to be at “NephCon 2025,” a conference focused on fringe topics including the biblical Nephilim —figures in Genesis that some interpret as the giant offspring of angels and human women.

He credited Timothy Alberino’s podcast with sending him “far down the rabbit hole,” eventually reaching claims that the Smithsonian Institution is hiding evidence, the bones of past giants that lived on the Earth. Burlison suggested that, as a member of the Oversight Committee, he could investigate the Smithsonian.

It's warfare, like being hit with bullets. Except it's new and it's online social warfare. Literally millions of slaves (bots are slaves) posting online for at least 9 years now.

And the others, like Candace Owens who is well spoken and reasonably intelligent but doesn't believe in dinosaurs apparently - are also slaves, but being blackmailed into saying this shit.

We free people are sitting amongst a slave takeover like a zombie virus broke out. Our lawmakers KNEW and should have enacted a national online government forum so we would have a secure way of communicating politically that would protect free speech - but they all MAJORLY SUCK at progressive policy, especially for anything MODERN, so they didn't do it. And it fucked us.
