The US has been bad for the world on balance over the last 100 years.
My point is that any global power could have been worse because when thee is no constraint, bad things happen. It is silly to suggest an alternative to where we are because New Zealand or Canada or Australia are never going to be the moral leaders in the world. Being the economic and military hegemon almost guarantees that morality and ethics dies on the alter of money & power. Show me a parliamentary representative that is not corrupt or compromised......
During the last election, an American journalistic observer stated that the continuation of the weapons deliveries would continue to Israel because the "influenced" politicians level was 86% in Israel's favour. Other comments resulted from that but the source escapes me, Glenn. Four months ago. A long time in an old memory.
I think it would be close to right based on the information on the web but if I find it is a higher percentage, which is likely in May, 2025, four months into the Trump reign, I will advise. Suffice to say, it is very high and there doesn't seem to have been a single Israel supporting item that has extracted an objection from either house. As for the number of AIPAC approved (nominated, supported)staff in each office, likely to be high on best accounting, the number is unknown to me.
May have to wait until the next AIPAC meeting to see who attends. I think this was the basis for the previous estimation and perhaps, a little bit of guesswork.
Not an accurate answer but you are the first to question it.
It is the same as challenging the 97% Israel public support Netanyahu has based on Caitlin's source. It is always difficult to confirm.
I was not questioning the likelihood that it’s an accurate number - it is just frightening to think that US democracy has been bought.
Trump has a Jew in the family and the US religious establishment have some pretty twisted theology around the “sanctity” of Israel. The US is in fact the new Israel. Look out world!!
The solution is closer than you think. Wide adoption of Bitcoin would limit any country’s ability to print money in order to conduct open ended warfare.Study Bitcoins capped supply and you’ll understand that the world will slowly adopt Bitcoin as the preferred way to store and use wealth. Governments that continue to print money and commercial banks that expand credit to anyone with a pulse will fail. Those holding gold and Bitcoin will survive this social and economic srmageddon. All politicians are corrupt or corruptible. All power corrupts. Take away the elites control of money and they no longer have power to wage war or oppress. Bitcoin IS the answer!

I think you may misunderstand my point.

Glenn,
While the USA sits at 86% Israel owned (therefore corrupted AND compromised) I am unable to answer your request. Sorry.
How is US 86% owned by Israel? I am not disputing just curious how you come up with that number.
Thanks.
Glenn

Sure buddy. Whatever you say.
