Hello. I am a Christian Missionary and Evangelist with Jesus Is King Mission . com

1. I have fought to expose the Critical Race Theory on Native American Indian Reservations 2. I am producing a documentary on the Christian History of the Midwest 3. I am a Constitutional Conservative 4. I support our Constitutional Republican South Dakota Platform 2022 a. I state support by showing Contrast to Current Events. The 10th Amendment States’ rights and sovereignty are pivotal because right now there is a Globalist/Communist/Marxist/Satanic/Evil Agenda that Goes from the “Deep State”/traitorous Federal USA Agencies (including the CIA, FBI, and other Bureaucracies) to the Council on Foreign Relations members, World Economic Forum, World Health Organization, NGOs, United Nations elite and their Agenda 2030 goals. They hate everything that our South Dakota and Federal principles are, because these are primarily Christian principles. World War III (3) is here, and it includes psychological manipulation in large part (see Lt. Gen. Flynn’s (Trump’s NSA Director) “Intro to Fifth Generation Warfare”), also known as “information warfare” (Ronald Reagan spoke of this). You need a candidate who will stand on Platform/Constitutional principles in the face of unprecedented evil.
