  1. Now you're talking! It all boils down to the names and the money leading to them. 95% of what we get in the MSM is obfuscation and disinformation, brought to you and sponsored by the maker of the following product: anonymous sources, spokespeople, officials, et al. It's about the names. Anonymity is one of their biggest weapons.

  2. I agree, dear fm, it all boils down to following the money. I hope the BDs are squirming more every day; I hope the grassroots can figure out how to put the pressure on and keep it on. This reprehensible behavior needs to be dragged out into the open so everybody can have a good long look.
