And now the most intellectually productive component of western society is being hounded out of Europe by hordes of barbarians. Can you guess where they are headed?
And the Europeans ain't putting up much of a fuss.
God is gathering His own.
You can't see the End Times from here; no one can.
But you can smell them.
