It seems that corruption only really exists when it always involves government.<\/p>\n<p>KA<\/p>\n<p><strong>ANSWER:<\/strong> Corruption is a huge problem in all governments worldwide. It is the possession of power in the hands of authorities that can be bribed which regularly instigates corruption. The ONLY possible way to prevent this corruption is term limits. Believe it or not, California\u2019s notorious Senator Dianne Feinstein announced that she said she was running for reelection in 2018. \u201cI\u2019m all in!\u201d she tweeted and wrote in a Facebook post. These people have to be dragged out of office by their hair. She is 84 years old! Feinstein is the oldest Senator in Washington. Her next term, if Californian elect\u00a0her again, which is likely, she will be past her 91st birthday. She has been the leading person taking all our liberty and a staunch\u00a0supporter of the NSA. I have written before that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/uncategorized\/california-impeach-feinstein-or-please-secede-from-usa-take-her-with-you\/\"><strong>\u201cShe is an outright liar\u201d<\/strong><\/a> claiming if the government had more power they would have prevented 911. They were in on it!<\/p>\n<p>Feinstein\u2019s husband, Richard C. Blum, is chairman of C.B. Richard Ellis, or CBRE. Because of his wife, his real estate firm was hired in 2011 to serve as the <strong>exclusive agent<\/strong> to the Postal Service, selling facilities from post offices to plots of land worth hundreds of millions of dollars. They claim it was a competitive bid and Blum owns less than 5% of the stock. Blum\u2019s investment firm, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/research\/stocks\/private\/snapshot.asp?privcapId=22695\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Blum Capital Partners<\/strong><\/a>, is the real estate company\u2019s fifth-largest institutional shareholder, according to Factcheck.org.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Corruption is Pervasive &amp; Standard Operating Procedure COMMENT: I read your post on Trump, Jr. and it does appear obvious that there is no investigation into the whole Maginsky Act and why are Trump Jr.\u2019s lawyers not exposing this more?
