Maria Karvouni
“It is instinctive and based on observations of real events and intuition and above all with clear mind. It has either happened or it is probable and possible to happen but cannot be proven. At least nowadays, but ways to be proven may be discovered in the future.”
Maria Karvouni

Maria Karvouni
“They code the human body remotely with electricity… To control fates… Cause sensations & thoughts otherwise non-existent… To trick the wrongfully considered as "valid" machines of truth that paradoxically no one knows about…”
Maria Karvouni, You Are Always Innocent
