that establishes formal reciprocity for criminal justice cooperation. You'd think they would have done their homework ... but I guess if things get hot, they will just fly to Tel Aviv or Moscow on a private plane.

such have been paid to these wealthy people simply because of their wealth. And it'll get worse.

After a while, there won't be any more to tax, to bring in revenues to fund government and their programs, despite the fact that a stable economic environment is critical and essential for those to make money. When will these scumbags realize it and pay their more than fair share?

"discovers" an island that has been continually inhabited or in use for centuries,, including during WWII.

I believe some kind of criminal investigation is being done into the politicians, wealthy private individuals and companies involved, something about illegally changing laws and possible bribes and kickbacks being involved.

Mostly on islands: New Zealand, Hawaii, Albania. Easy for their paramilitaries to control.

"‪m. hela fella‬: This is how you deal w/ criminal grifters. Its not nice or polite. It is en masse, loud & unwelcoming. The grifters will have no peace in 🇦🇱 & neither will any of their privileged guests.

Perhaps they can buy land in 🇷🇺 so many people are dead & 🇷🇺 loves grifters & criminals? Or maybe 🇦🇷 w/Thiel?🤮

They like the US when they can siphon money out of our Treasury. They like our military protecting their interests all over the world. They like our banking system and the fact that the taxpayers guarantee their money is safe.

But they add absolutely nothing to the American way of life. They are leeches. Criminals. Parasites. Filth.

Nice little boat ride, just the two of you. Land barefoot on the beach with nothing but your hopes, dreams and sunglasses. You could pretend to be a modern day Mr. and Mrs. Howell. "This way, lovey." Walk towards the jungle, hear the sounds of the crashing waves, the wildlife and the drawing of a bow...
