Today we stagger into the heart of darkness solemnly performing the requiem for a dream as we reveal the illicit subterfuge weaponized to exploit us. It's finally time we're conscious of the malevolent machinations designed to disarm us of our essential use of discernment. In an effort to regain our intellectual fortitude we witness the true levers of power through a perpetual national sex scandal and a lurid account of the twisted tale of two D.C. Madams... When George Orwell was struggling to find a publisher for his famous fable "Animal Farm" he prepared a statement on the topic of freedom of the press writing that, "I know the English intelligentsia have plenty of reason for their timidity and dishonesty, indeed I know by heart the arguments by which they justify themselves. But at least let us have no more nonsense about defending liberty against fascism. If liberty means anything at all it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear..." Our story begins, Thursday, June 29th, 1989, when the Washington Times published an article on the front page of the newspaper with the title, "Homosexual prostitution inquiry ensnares VIPs with Reagan, Bush--'Call Boys' took midnight tour of White House"...
