Comments & Feedback

Hello Shawn:

The Wolfe story you seeded from The Huffington Post is an affirmation that true patriots are alive and well.

The question, as mentioned is; how do you document and bring to the light of day these covert and dangerous oligarchs?

This is a difficult task and I currently have no constructive answer. It does irk me that the shadow makers dub us "crazy" when we begin to bring them into the light.
