There is no one named Elijah Mohammad in Abuja willing to help me start an online business with the proceeds of the check for $46,000.00 US in payment for the Irish Sweepstakes that I won (although I have never been to Ireland) that he has sent to me to deposit and return a check for all except for a minor handling fee I get to keep so I can start an internet test shopper company that caters to dog owners who have deposited too much in their bank accounts because the fractions of pennies are accruing in a bank account in Istanbul? But what happened to my JOB!!! DAMN IT! They promised! ...damn... Wait!

Not to mention the biggest heist in the history of the US that's called, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. And the theft it's still going on, and the criminals are still running free, and still thefting away. There's only one way to stop them, click. However, let me warn you, in order to stop this financial terrorism the majority of the People in the US would have to simultaneously wake up, get informed, grab their Chinese made pitch forks and ropes and hit the streets of DC. Unfortunately, the likelihood of that ever happening are statistically low, but there's always hope and and maybe karma.
