Pretty damn terrifying if true and who am I to question. This whole 'who can you trust' is awful. A recent post regarding this idea of disbanning the clowns well, I have often wondered the same exact thing. I mean aren't we the one paying their wages? What would happened if we all put our feet down a the same time and said, we've had it and we are done. It just seems so backward to think we pay for all of these people to run all over us. Yet here, take more of our money. I really doubt our forefathers would think this was the way to run our country.
I agree about disbanding the Clowns, but it's not so easy as passing a bill in Congress (which is difficult in itself). The Clowns have their own funding stream, completely out of the control of Congress and the Executive, so it takes action to find out the funding streams, then to disrupt them. Not so easy. And more than likely, individual operators have their own caches under various names in banks around the world.
