in this day of rampant fraud within the oligarchies of the West,
where banks are stealing trillions, it's nice to know that some
nerds at a desk are making sure that nobody lies to the public.
Nobody. Not even a blogger. well, I just lied, right there.
"ding dong"
You'll excuse me, that's the door.
Their top lies have nothing to do with the banker's fraud,
assassination fraud, or radiation fraud,
cuz these guys check up on the media, not thieving bankers,
lying soldiers or naughty nuke barons.
Why do I get the impression that these guys are not really helping
the cause much.
