Ok, it’s not quite that bad, but close. A new poll says a mere 5% think Congress is doing a good job with a plurality saying most members of Congress are corrupt. [...]

Republic Report has hired convicted felon and former corruptor Jack Abramoff to be part of their team, which includes Matt Stoller. It just launched and the content is already excellent. I’m definitely keeping an eye on Republic Report. Because there’s just so much of it now… Richest nations giving up on climate change, probably because the banksters can’t figure out how to properly loot it. The real reason Obama may veto indefinite detention (it has nothing to do with protecting liberty). Countrywide whistleblower. Mortage fraud is systemic. Have we been captured by psychopaths? Um, [...] So the Justice Department isn’t even bothering to enforce the law, says a departed official. Well gosh, that’s just swell. They pretend to enforce the law and we pretend everything is fine. But it’s not. Deliberately not enforcing criminal law against a specific set of lawbreakers means we no longer have a functioning legal system. [...] It’s funny but it’s not. \ For two succesive governors of a major state to be convicted of corruption is a sickening example of how payoffs, bribes, and fraud are business as usual in far too many state capitols.

Seriously. I mean, they’re barely bothering to hide it. Both parties are awash in those concealed bribes called campaign contributions. Financial executives who committed multiple serious felonies are not prosecuted. The federal government bails out out insolvent institutions then gives them sweetheart [...] AmpedStatus presents three ways to save the country. 1) End the system of political bribery: campaign finance, lobbying and the revolving door. 2) Break up the banks and hold them accountable: The Federal Reserve banking system and their primary dealers (i.e. Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Citigroup, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo). 3) [...] Could there be a clearer example of the inherent corruption and sleaze of our political system than Democrats forming fund-raising groups that don’t have to disclose sources of money then blaming Republicans for forcing them to do it. Democrats weep phony tears about how, dang it, they really do want campaign finance reform, but [...] Corporate corruption is out of control for two main reasons.

Second, companies are the major funders of political campaigns in places like the US, while politicians themselves are often part owners, [...] |  | ||||
