The idea that a handful of bots, or even thousands of them stole the election for Trump is preposterous yet the howls and witch hunt continues.
Right under our noses is something much worse. Trump taking advice from one of the most corrupt warmongers in the world: Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
On March 5, President Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel met in Washington. With that, Trump’s Hopes of Being the ‘Neutral Guy’ in the Mideast Vanished.
Fruits of Netanyahu’s Visit
Today the fruits of that visit are on proud display.
This morning, in a classless act, Trump fired his US Secretary of State via Tweet.

Corruption and Bribery
The Israeli police want Prime Minister Netanyahu’s Indicted on corruption and bribery charges.
I commented with a Musical Tribute to Bribes in the US, Israel, Nigeria, Everywhere.
So here we are, with outrage by Republicans and Democrats alike all fluffed up about meaningless (if it exists at all) Russian interference in the US election.
On something far more important, Trump kowtowing to corrupt foreign influence peddlers, we have complete media silence.
Where’s the outrage?
Mike “Mish” Shedlock
Mish, both Trump and Hillary are can be corrupt. Do you believe Trump is less corrupt than your average politician? Your reply sounds defensive. I think it possible that Russia is trying to do anything to undermine our country. I think Putin is legitimately afraid of the ability of the United States interfering in his plans. I think he is like most corrupt politicians,he will do anything to preserve his wealth and power.
So you believe the police blindfolded? Better read some Israeli news before believing all you hear. One thing sure the media together with the opposition are not happy to see Netanyahu run the government, and admit they want and trying to throw him off. The accusations are pathetic and the investigation is full of flaws, and i am not a fan of Netanyahu.
While I have no doubt Netanyahu is a “warmonger,” it’s a little easier to excuse and justify a bit of warmongering when faced with the situation Israel is in, than the one America is in. America could, hence should, just shut down the military, perhaps excepting some strategic retaliation ability and a thin blue line along the borders, tomorrow. Or yesterday. Noone in the US who isn’t in on a related leeching racket, would be any worse off for it. Were Israel to follow that prescription, I do suspect things would get pretty hot for the average Joseph, fairly quickly.
Of course, Netanyahu being somewhat more justified in warmongering than the average American, doesn’t mean any American government has any business involving Americans, nor their tax money, in the warmongering of others. No matter how ostensibly “justified” the latter may be.
Israel might actually be responsible for other recent “international activity”. I suggest reading this: https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2018/03/russian-to-judgement/
Israel throws tons of money into American politics. So go figure.
so was Hillary – She’s not corrupt?
“What makes you think, that I think, Trump is not corrupt?” I’m confused. You supported him in the primary, and election. To me, he’s the same person now that he was then.
If only Israel would behave.
You can’t have a one world government without one world.
it’s likely been the case for much longer than 1995 but how often do you hear such things in mainstream movies?
caught a bit of higher learning (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113305) last nite. Cube had a quote which caught my attention: “Man, governments ain’t running things no more. Financial institutions, they controlling the whole thing.”
Schumer & Shiff are not part of any so-called resistance. They are both totally in line with the perpetual war-machine.
It’s the Middle East. Who do you pick?
AIPAC just had their big meeting where Schumer, Shiff, et al all kiss the ring and they decided they are all on board for a false flag triggered war with Iran… my guess, Tillerson was not aboard.
I guess there is no limit to our War Machine.
It’s clear some of our Allies are pinning for Regime Change in Iran.
It
What makes you think, that I think, Trump is not corrupt?
I firmly believe the Russia anxiety is being stirred up by certain folks who are unhappy with Russia preventing Regime Change in Syria. Just a guess
It’s the holy grail of US censorship
Mish you are not supposed criticize the only democracy in the Middle East.
Tillerson reportedly fell ill on Saturday and canceled an appearance in Nairobi which was rescheduled for the next day. This was after Trump’s surprise agreement to meet with NK’s Kim which Tillerson learned of after the fact. So Tillerson had reason to believe this might be coming (maybe he should have resigned). Tillerson’s replacement, Pompey, was a neocon warmonger in the House but being in the House is different from being CIA director. Recently, Pompey said China was a bigger threat than Russia, so the “tilt to Asia” may be back on (assuming it was ever gone). I am not in favor of conflict with China, nor a trade war with them, but I’d like to see the spotlight taken off of Russia and Syria.
I have to speak my mind. It’s what I do.
Careful around that third rail, Mish…
