...and yet no one knows what to do with the information because of ''The Great Disconnect.'' That disconnect being where everyone's mental programming is based upon the concept of the ''rule of law'' -- so everything gets filtered through that. But, ''the rule of law'' .

Because we know we never will since the country is run by liars and thieves (not to mention all those sick, twisted mofo's who like killing, raping and torturing people and then calli...
