I couldn't believe it either.
Seriously?
Not only is this claim surprising and somewhat suspicious, it comes from a very reliable source and powerful self-thinker, Tariq Nasheed. I just started following him on Twitter and I encourage you to check him out before you do the same. I don't agree with EVERYTHING Nasheed says, but for the most part...I do.
I encourage you to see this video on my YouTube Channel, thank you.
