NYT Discovers That Think Tanks Are Actually Trojan Horses For Illegal Foreign Lobbying (No Mention Of AIPAC)

The US voters go to the polls regularly and vote for people who then will not represent the voters but rather, foreign powers.  Of course, the representatives do vote for some things the voters wanted but not when it comes to foreign affairs or issues of great interest of foreign powers.  Worse, 99% of this is hidden from view and Congress, surprise, surprise, won’t investigate.  Why?  Well, ask AIPAC which has 100% control of Congress. Anything AIPAC wants, Congress gives with zero votes against these issues.

Shocking news (not): Foreign Powers Buy Influence at Think Tanks – NYTimes.com

More than a dozen prominent Washington research groups have received tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments in recent years while pushing United States government officials to adopt policies that often reflect the donors’ priorities, an investigation by The New York Times has found.

 

The money is increasingly transforming the once-staid think-tank world into a muscular arm of foreign governments’ lobbying in Washington. And it has set off troubling questions about intellectual freedom: Some scholars say they have been pressured to reach conclusions friendly to the government financing the research…

 

The think tanks do not disclose the terms of the agreements they have reached with foreign governments. And they have not registered with the United States government as representatives of the donor countries, an omission that appears, in some cases, to be a violation of federal law, according to several legal specialists who examined the agreements at the request of The Times.

 

What is glaring here is the fact that Israel is never mentioned at all in any way in this article which supposedly exposes foreign money pouring into our ‘think tanks’ (sic).  These stupid tanks of fools are not thinking at all, they are, all and every one of them, PROPAGANDA and LOBBY tanks which don’t think about anything except how to whore themselves.

It used to be at least a place that hired Americans but these think tanks don’t even bother with that, anymore.  They will hire a front man or woman and then fill the ranks with foreigners.  Something the NYT didn’t explore.  Dual citizens, thanks to AIPAC lobbying weakening the value of citizenship, proliferate and run these things, too.​

Now off to real news:  Crisis in Ukraine is ‘all EU’s fault’ – France’s Marine Le Pen dares to say out loud.  At least some of the right wing is honest.  In the US, ‘liberal’ publications like the Huffington Post were warmongering as strongly as AIPAC during the Ukraine crisis.  It looked more like Völkischer Beobachter with its coverage of the situation in Ukraine.

The British are freaking out over the fact that the Scots still remember how they were brutally conquered and ruled!  Labour Party is freaking out because Scots vote for them and their party will collapse if Scotland isn’t part of the Queen’s empire.  But the Scots won’t be burdened by the Tories, so they are double winners here and this is why they want to sever their relations with England in the first place.

Minsk ceasefire protocol: Ukraine to be decentralized, special status for Lugansk, Donetsk is the deal but the cease fire isn’t working too well because there is no reason for the winners, the Russian Ukrainians, to stop.  Only if the coup in Kiev makes a lot of moves to withdraw entirely will the fighting stop.  Right now, they are sitting inside Russian Ukraine territory, trying to get more arms from a foreign power: NATO stages massive military drills in Latvia as the US aggression continues.

Many ‘think tanks’ think this is a great idea since their owners want this to happen even though this will cause WWIII.  I can’t imagine a stupider think thank than one that works insidiously to drive us into WWIII.  Europe is a patchwork of languages, religions, ethnic identities and a long bloody hate filled history which is all about them killing each other over some of the stupidest things.  And even when they speak the same language like the Scots and Brits, they hate each other!

And we, the ‘melting pot’ must fix all this by taking sides and killing even more crazy Europeans who hate each other.  And learning nothing from WWI and WWII, we are sliding into WWIII thanks to the exact same ethnic cleansing insanity.

Russian Navy sends flotilla to Arctic to start permanent service at military base: the US condemns this as ‘aggression’ while encouraging and backing the identical stuff when Japan does it offshore of China.  More ‘exceptionalism’ at work.  One rule for us, a totally opposite rule for select nations we are supposed to hate.  Eventually, Russia will buy up enough lobbyists and stupid think tank traitors so they will control our government, too.  Like China.

Note that many of our rivals don’t allow us to do this to THEM.  Not at all. They put in prison anyone who does what our think tanks do with impunity.
