Hello in the last five years we have been doing what we can to find freedom, peace and life, many of you remember me as nicko Gonzales, manuela Escobar, el makabelico, el guero mp, el pena, the exclusive command, frances nicole Gonzales, panther of culiacan. . Pure suffering with the guerita Alicia Becerra Casillas from Jalisco Guadalajara. Here I am in Redwood City San Carlos.
we are the ones who make the changes that AMLO steals all credit until the presence was stolen from us! We are people from PRESIDENTE FRANCESCA CHAPA PENA ORTEGA We have fought war after war. We have shot down the curve in all areas. We have brought positive and restored a sense of pride in our people everywhere. However, we do not achieve what we strive for. We are treated like criminals among those who rule our lands and steal our income and profits with any random law or rude behavior to gain some kind of access. These evil and arrogant people continue to bring themselves among us to stop us. there are no secrets there is nothing to hide. Our lands and people have been destroyed. They take their own lives. I am here to remind you that we do not die. There is an eternal life. Do not hesitate or lose sight of it. Borders are a great reason why we fight, people want to enter or leave, we must fight. However, the rich can go to and from where and how they want. For those of you who don't know, you don't need a green card or permit to come to the US. The only purpose is if they want to get government help of some kind. The government does not give jobs here, but the people. The peninsula of San Francisco takes you to New York, Florida, Paris, Mexico, Panama, the Caribbean, the cats, maracon, San mateo, redwood city, san francisco, chino, chico, oceano, lemoore, san jose La, everything is Tijuana low and high, California is Mexico. NAYARIT FRANCES NUEVO LEON
and many other places. There are no Covid 19 blocks, everything is a lie. Unfortunately I was in the Francisco Salazar prison and they set me up by phillip garcรญa. Guerita has also had some problems with the matter. Do not allow yourself to remain under the command of an impostor

Hola en los รบltimos cinco aรฑos hemos estado haciendo lo que podemos para encontrar libertad, paz y vida. Muchos de ustedes me recuerdan como nicko Gonzales, manuela Escobar, el makabelico, el guero mp, el pena, el comando exclusivo, frances nicole Gonzales, pantera de culiacan. . Puro padelante con la guerita alicia becerra casillas de Jalisco Guadalajara.Aqui estoy en redwood city san Carlos.
somos los qual hace los cambios que AMLO se ROBAN todo credito hasta la presencia se nos robo! Somos gente de PRESIDENTE FRANCESCA CHAPA PENA ORTEGA Hemos luchado guerra tras guerra. Hemos derribado el currupto en todas las รกreas. Hemos traรญdo positivo y restaurado un sentido de orgullo en nuestra gente en todas las partes. Sin embargo, no logramos lo que nos esforzamos. Somos tratados como criminales entre aquellos que gobiernan nuestras tierras y roban nuestros ingresos y ganancias con cualquier ley aleatoria o comportamiento maleducado para obtener algรบn tipo de acceso. Estas personas malvadas y arrogantes continรบan trayendo consigo mismos entre nosotros para detenernos. no hay secretos no hay nada que esconder. Nuestras tierras y personas han sido destruidas. Se quitan la vida. Estoy aquรญ para recordarte que no morimos. Hay una vida eterna. No lo dudes ni lo pierdas de vista. Las fronteras son una gran razรณn por la que luchamos, la gente quiere entrar o salir, debemos luchar. Sin embargo, los ricos pueden ir hacia y desde donde y como quieran. Para los que no lo sepan, no necesitan tarjeta verde ni permiso para venir a la eeuu. El รบnico propรณsito es si quieren recibir ayuda del gobierno de algรบn tipo. El gobierno no da trabajo aquรญ, sino la gente. La penรญnsula de San Francisco te lleva a Nueva York, Florida, Parรญs, Mรฉxico, Panamรก, el Caribe, los gatos, maracon, San mateo, redwood city, san francisco, chino, chico, oceano, lemoore, san jose La, todo es baja Tijuana y alta, California es Mexico.
