TvNewsLIES Headline News

TVNL Editor's Comments: Today in NY they are conducting terror drills in our subway system. They are releasing “harmless” gas so that they can track how gas flows through the system. This is not the first time this has been done, it is only the first time we were told that it was taking place. As an asthmatic I want to know what that gas is. We have not been told. There is something very wrong when a government releases a gas and does not let us know what it is. Do the citizens of this nation have any control over this nation at all? It seems not. Think about it! – Jesse, Editor, TvNewsLIES.org
