There Are Candy for Dragons!

I am now convinced that every consumable given to us by the elite, represents some kind of mockery or evil. Opal Fruits (now Starburst) are no different. These vintage commercials disclose everything from chemtrails to fallen alien deception and depict children as “fruit” and “food” to the elite.

Opal is mined from Australia’s massive Great Artesian Basin GAB, from fossilized dinosaurs. Dragon tears (see urban dictionary for real meaning of man tears) are said to be the source of Starburst’ peculiar juiciness. Things get really weird when a commercial shows children being chemtrailed with Opal Fruits under pink skies! More from EntertheStars Reloaded.

Dinosaurs Still Among Us

We’ve been taught that dinosaurs went extinct 66 billion years ago when a mega-meteor plummeted into the Yucatan Peninsula. But Dr. Joe Hanson, host of It’s Okay to be Smart, takes exception. “Thanks to science, we know that our planet is home to 10,000 or so species of living dinosaurs,” he says. “We call them birds.” In the following video clip, Hanson explains birds’ place on the tree of life.
