They are moving quickly, as if they are desperate to finish the job... [View all]

They cannot sleep at night. They need every minute to steal everything they can get their hands on.

Thousands of stock trades in a massive "insider trading" scandal. A slush fund of almost $2 billion dollars taken from our Treasury. The Iran war and Big Oil. It is beyond corrupt. It is a sickness.

What's the big deal? What do they see that puts them in such a hurry?

Is Trump dying? Does he need to steal much more before he goes? What is the reason for their desperation?

Why are they covering for him?

It seems that our government no longer exists? We are in a klepto state of anarchy.
