Brandt’s Randt – Government Sleight of Hand
I’m not a conspiracy theorist by nature. I believe terrorists who hijacked planes brought down the twin towers in Manhattan, for example. But I have developed a new theory that is the only possible explanation for why smart people are so distracted by stupid things. …
