A Spy Tale Extraordinaire

Suppose the enemy of the United States hatched a plan to put nuclear materials in the hands of terrorists throughout the Middle East?

Suppose the leader of that country "turned" a well-known businessman, who later ran for President and won!

Suppose, the leader of that country promised $250 billion dollars to this businessman and his associates to help build nuclear "energy" facilities throughout the Middle East?

However, before he could transfer the billions of dollars to the new "leaders" of America, the new leaders had to promise to over-ride the Senate of the United States and "rip up" the sanctions that were placed against the other leader and their country?

Suppose they did everything in their power to sabotage and destroy our State Department and our institutions, including our intelligence and FBI?

Suppose they recruited a very small group of loyal supporters to do their dirty work, such as lying and propagandizing the Republican Party of this country?

Suppose they were within an inch of over-throwing our country and all of them becoming very, very rich?

It may sound like an unbelievable story but it appears to be closer to the truth than to fiction.

...all unfolding before our very eyes...

But maybe not the most successful- if it’s revealed and stopped before it’s fully executed and the perpetrators and participants can be stopped and prosecuted.

I’m hoping it’s not the most spectacular and successful spy story.....
