Hello everyone, my name is Theresa Matthew, I'm a member of the New World Order (Illuminati), am not here to give testimonies on how I joined the brotherhood but to sincerely apologies to those that are victims to these fake agents in different part of the world using our identities for fraud.
ReplyDeleteThese are what they do, they will contact our agents across the globe pretending to be an applicant, after given them the procedures, terms and conditions on how to be a member of the brotherhood they will block our agents and use that same procedures to fraud you guys by broadcasting on internet things that doesn't exist in the brotherhood such as paying salaries to our members, giving dreams cars to all new members and the worth of the car, a V I P treatment in all airports in the world, one month booked appointment with top 5 world leaders and top 5 celebrities in the world ETC all these are fake. Please note this, am not disputing the fact that the illuminati brotherhood don't give benefits to their newly initiated members, We do but not as exorbitant these fake agents paint it to be but a trap to stuck and suck you guys be wise to identify these tricks. Note this, to be a member of the illuminati is free, you're not paying for so called registration/initiation fee, membership ID card fee, certificate fee ETC all these are free, you're only going to be initiated into the brotherhood by any of our initiators not agent. Another point to note is that initiation into the brotherhood doesn't involves human blood sacrifices and anyone who tells you he/she is the Grand master or gives you a contact that you have to chat with the Grand master is fake the Grand master don't chat with applicants, you can only meet with the Grand master when you are invited to the headquarter 3 months after your initiation into the brotherhood for your awarding ceremony with the twelve heads of executives for your oath.

This is the little help I can give, HAIL THE LIGHT.
Saying yes to making a motion picture is truly putting your rear end out there imaginatively and monetarily. Numerous non mainstream films are financed through family, companions, online motion picture swarm subsidizing or your very own money.
