I am the epitome of a Winter Soldier and tell the truth - no matter the repercussions. I am a servant of and for The People! I love America, the 1st and 2nd Amendments, liberty and conservative values.
Question those who stand up now, after November 5th, 2024, while it's SIGNIFICANTLY easier/safe to be outspoken and go on record now that Trump has won.
If you want altruism, tenacity, relentless pursuit of justice and to help Trump usher in The Golden Age of American freedom and prosperity... The choice is clear: Demand Xan John! And let's replace the RINO!!

- Abolish the private Federal Reserve Bank. It was never properly ratified to existence in 1913 and may have its charter revoked by Congress! It issues fiat currency that is intlatiary by design with its implementation of Fractional Reserve Banking practices. We must return the delegation of money duties to the U. S Treasury and back the dollar with gold/silver!
- Abolish the Intelligence agencies that are aimed at American Citizens. Since 1947 they have all sabotaged this nations upward trajectory. Immediately shut down all offices and cut their funding from the Black Budget as well as their other ways of making money through drug smuggling and child sex trafficking.
- Hold accountable past and present bad actors so that their actions may never be repeated!

Not go to all the DC cocktail parties and join the uniparty.
Survive CIA assassination attempts.

I support: The Bill of Rights & Constitution, President Trump, Vivek, Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Roger Stone, Laura Loomer, Matt Gaetz, MTG, Ken Paxton, Mike Lindell and Andrew Tate.
I’m against: D.E.I./Social Credit Score, wokeness, lockdowns, liberal media/leftist agenda, censorship/shadow banning, central banks/C.B.D.C.’s, George Soros, U.N., W.H.O., and the rogue intelligence agencies.
The United States has more than enough oil and gas to be energy independent. We must explore, drill, produce, and workover our reserves – NOT depend on O.P.E.C. or “Green Energy”. Carbon must not be labeled a “pollutant”. Man is a carbon-based being.
I’ve been speaking the truth on record since 2020, back when it was the hardest to be an outspoken patriot. Conservatives must vote in person for Trump on election day so that our Red Wave overcomes the blue seawall of voter fraud.
Trump taking office after he wins the 2024 presidential election means everything for the preservation of this great Nation and the freedom it affords its citizens. J6 was a peaceful protest and infiltrated by the feds!
If the situation was hopeless – their propaganda would be unnecessary!
- 1776 WarRoom.org
- Will we even have a 2024 Presidential Election?
- This could be America's last election...
- Brace for democrat cheating and election interference for the return of Trump.
Voter integrity. Closing the wide open southern border that is allowing in illegals for the UN Replacement Migration Agenda.
Exposing the incompetent, white shoe, out of touch, pedophile, cannibal, occultists that have infiltrated our highest branches of government who view the citizenry - especially the middle class - as cattle.
Explaining the dangers of synthetic meat: HEK 293 & HeLa immortal cell lines(tumor cells), glyphosate, atrazine and fluoride in tap water, as well as the dangers of 5G towers.
Expose the whole fake narrative if the "J6" gathering of loyal peaceful patriots, freeing the political prisoners and erecting an Ashli Babbitt Statue in her memory.
Stopping the censorship from big tech working hand in hand with our government. This emerged in 2016 when Trumps win shocked the democrats and deepstate - they immediately started setting up illegal groups to start controlling peoples thoughts and manipulating behaviors and outcomes of information - this started heavily in 2020 with the emergence of the preplanned and patented SARS Cov - 2 Plandemic that was practiced in 2019 with bill gates's CEPI and "Event 201"
Everyone needs to listen to: Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, Bill Cooper and G. Edward Griffin.
The War Room - Steve Bannon
TCN - Tucker Carlson
OMG - James O'keefe

I am pro: Trump, the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Oil & Gas Industry. I am anti: wokeness, lockdowns, liberalism, censorship and CRT.
I will fight for a pro-human future, to lower taxes and give raises to state law enforcement – while trying to make sure our disabled veterans pay no State taxes at all.
We need to stop George Soros and World Economic Forum funded politicians in this State.
Louisiana needs to adopt the state legislation that makes Delaware, Florida, and Texas so attractive.
Let’s make Louisiana a sophisticated tax haven. Let’s keep Louisiana open and free. Let’s Make Louisiana Great Again and put Louisiana First!
Demand your Freedom! Demand Xan John for Governor!
- Pro-Trump & Constitution!
- Anti-censorship & C.R.T.
- Demand Xan John!
