Maybe you live in an enclave of crooks. My younger brother told me about someone he knew who was approached by a buyer who wanted a hundred acres of land in South Carolina for a homesite. The man had no intentions of selling and told the person that. The response was to the effect that everything is for sale at some price, “Just tell me what you will take for it, if the Democrats go into office I will have more money than I can spend anyway”. After some thought the man called the buyer back with an asking price that he thought no sane person would pay. The buyer said I’ll get back to you and LATER THE SAME DAY called back to arrange for a meeting with an attorney to do the closing. After that the same buyer approached the brother of the man he had bought the hundred acres from and asked to buy forty acres adjoining the hundred acres. The same thing happened, an outrageous price was paid for the forty acres. The buyer apparently came from Charlotte, NC and had very much an “easy come, easy go” attitude about money. You can be sure that a lot of people are getting rich from corrupt dealings now, the country is being raided and only those with connections are benefitting.

It's almost amusing that the operation being run at 2245 Slocum Road in Peyton Colorado  was practically within spitting distance of NORCOM and the American Military's Satellite Control Center....  almost.   If nothing else, it was pretty bold of the perps to run it on the same local power-grid that supplies juice to Schriever AFB;  Schriever being an earthbound nerve-center supporting the USA's eyes in the sky; presumably in support of the alleged War On Drugs.
 
When the sheeple are kept adequately supplied with Bread and Circuses, they evidently care little about the laundry that keeps the whole systemically corrupt machine rattling along.

Well, with all due respect, I don’t have “connections” and I’m doing really, really well. Best year ever.
