FEDERAL JUDGE HALTS SALE OF INDUSTRIAL BLEACH AS COVID-19 CURE FROM SOUTH FLORIDA CHURCH

Source: Newsweek

A federal judge in Miami issued an order on Friday blocking the sale of an apparent hoax-cure for COVID-19, which the Justice Department says was actually industrial-strength bleach.

Several Southwest Florida residents, through a self-proclaimed religious entity, had been marketing a "Master Mineral Solution" (MMS) on their affiliated websites, stating fanciful claims about its potential applications.

The Genesis II Church of Health & Healing provided that MMS could alleviate COVID-19 through "sacramental dosing." It instructed adults to take six drops of "activated MMS" in a glass of water ever two hours.

"This should wipe it out this flu-like virus that many are being scared with its presence in this world," one of the church's websites said.

We use it in horses when they founder. IV no less. But it is under veterinary supervision and when no other options are available. It smells terrible. And people eat this stuff.

so it seems like there would have had to have been someone who showed him this letter.

(at least that is what I am thinking. This leads me to who and why?)

I wonder if someone with access to him, knowing he's a danger to society, basically set him up on purpose to make him look like the idiot he really is and to turn people against him and pave the way towards the 25th amendment? I can hope can't I?

for nearly seventy years, displayed not the slightest interest in anything religious, pays such close attention to these people.

And I just recognized it! Birds of a feather and all that. Grifters and charlatans and cons all recognize each other, and stick together, reinforcing and supporting each other.
