The issue is not the Oblisk.

The Issue is the total corruption of the city of DC. Talk about serving false gods.

It's TIME to DownSize DC!

Restore the Constitution!Size DC!

Not only struck by lightening, after BO was installed as president, DC had a bit of an earthquake. It was damaged by a crack and remain closed for months on end. Don’t ignore His Signs.
