funny that neither the FBI nor the CIA nor any agency had caught wind of this huge scandal. Maybe there were a few bribes to look the other way? I find it very strange that these supposedly super intelligence agencies didn't know what was going on.

While working people were sacrificing their rights, their dignity when travelling and the youth into the meat grinder of wars, glutinousness swine were illicitly gorging on the nation's wealth.

Kinda makes you feel like a sucker.
