Is this the same fight the Clintons and their foundation tried to...ummmmm, %^$$&*(*(((&*T%*&^$&

Please- save me the fight for freedom. They lost because of the USA. The Clintons raped, robbed, and pillaged the land and people.

I’ve been to a few of the large forts they built and those alone were extraordinary feats. They had tunnels, cannons at the tops of mountains, etc. I was amazed at the scale
