only part way thru this exploration sent by a friend but am posting it now as its just one more bit of evidence of the corruption that fully encompasses the empires remaining systems. most of what the tv presents, including 'elections' are potemkin villages erected to keep you attached to the mirage. there are no honest national elections and what happens after isn't in your interest;

Early this month, in yet another blow to “Russiagate,” Igor Danchenko, a key contributor to reports alleging a conspiracy between Russia and Donald Trump, was arrested for lying to the FBI.
