24. Anyone remember the undercover Army interns at CNN and NPR?

Good training for the boys. They were psyops specialists.

At CNN, they learned how the newsroom works.

NPR never heard of them, at first.

The powers-that-be have become desperate now that the enemies of secret government, or We the People if you still belive in democracy, are on to their gangster arses.
