I can’t remeber the name, but once upon a time Hong Kong got a new governor, who cleaned up the corruption in very short order. He was an englishman, but all of my Chinese friends have great respect for him.

Nancy isn’t trying to protect ChimpCo – she has real skin in the game. What self-respecting pol wouldn’t love to bring the case she has against her political enemy?

Along with all the fuckery of 43, she is pretty well fucked for life if anyone gets a really good look at what she allowed to be done with her tacit approval.

I’m not looking to have her executed, but we won’t even get her removed from office without that exposure. And she won’t fuck herself.

Think about “Spies for hire”.Private corporate entities,outside the perview of congress, freely making deals with other nations that directly affect our security.I’m almost totally convinced that the brits and bushco,because of the arms deals with the saudis had an influence on 911.Bandar made contributions to the san diego highjackers through the riggs bank.There’s alot more to all this than we know.
