WHEN PARASITES STRIKE

The lawlessness that accompanied the campaign that brought Barack Obama to the White House is now escalating as the country’s parasites, emboldened and empowered with taxpayer money, continue their campaign to steal the fruits of other’s labor.

These assets had been fermenting for decades awaiting a flame to ignite them. Now the revelations are coming forth…
