  1. I wonder how many people I have passed that are actual cia and working a case and I have no idea. Just driving or shopping. Life is so weird

  2. All pretty commonsense if you dont want to be identified easily, especiaaly with cc tv everwhere around towns and cities.

  3. Sometimes reversing it. Intelligence is not only foe spying.. Its gathering more information. Sometime you need to show one of your cards to tje enemy 🙂

  4. That very first person I knew was a woman. Everytime I have seen a woman try to dress as a man it’s obvious.

  5. And yet he’s being followed by so many people and arrested. Apparently his Dad is following and thought this was about his son.

  6. O yeA , very true , esp talking to people on line like video chat , it’s crazy ugly , yep making sure the face hurts 😂

  7. yes they do this in Norway they survaille victims of cps abuse and sanotage them socially all throughout life

  8. “I would like to take note that it’s almost impossible to turn a man into a woman.” EXACTLY! Take note, trans people. Even the female-to-male still looked feminine.
