It was on this very listserv that it was stated that the United States
was designated to be the government that would carry out the NWO
once WW II ended, so its foreign policy was mandated by the Illuminati
itself.
 
When people get this information into their heads, then they will understand
that the foreign policy of the United States of America is not domestic,
but controlled by the Illuminati exclusively.
 
Peace,

considered that US foreign policy might have something to do with it? 
You think? "Getting it right". LOL Lemme guess, "Israel" is never 
mentioned.
