Christians warn us about the anti-christ for 2,000 years, and when he shows up, they buy a bible from him.

2 person outfit with a history of failed contracts. I'm sure no money changed hands in envelopes on this one.

There is definitely something fishy. In order to mass produce meals on that scale, you'd want a corporation like Banquet or Tyson with fully automated lines.

She's just a middle-man that doesn't have a clue how to properly subcontract these deals:
She's in over her head.Ms. Brown described herself in an interview as a government contractor — “almost like a broker,” she said — who does not keep employees or specialize in any field but is able to procure subcontracted work as needed, and get a cut of the money along the way. She claims a fashion line and has several self-published books, and describes herself on Twitter as “A Diva, Mogul, Author, Idealist with scars to prove it.”
