"MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL" -------------"MONEY IS THE MOTHERS MILK OF POLITICS"
Two sayings that are linked together to the detriment of our country. I am NOT attacking capitalism, I am attacking a political system that is for sale to the highest bidder. Campaign contributions are only one concern. Money flows to our elected officials through speaking fees, Jobs for relatives, political action committees, insider deals, cash in an envelope, campaign workers or any other way money or things of value can be transferred.
The money is not just from domestic sources, but a great deal comes legally and illegally from foreign sources. Most of it is hard to prove, particularly when the recipient is making the laws and overseeing law enforcement. The money is distributed to both political parties, often from the same source covering their bets. It would follow that most, if not all, government agencies have been infiltrated by people on the payroll of companies, organizations or even governments with an agenda. During Watergate, Deep Throat advised, "Follow the Money." That holds true, more than ever, today.
An interesting example, that should be of great concern is, Saudi Prince Alalwed Bin-Talal. The Prince is the richest Saudi and 16th richest in the world. He funds Muslim-Christian Understanding centers at major American universities, including Harvard,. He is the largest investor in Citigroup. The concern comes from his senior advisor, Kahlid Al Monsour. He was the mentor to Black Panther Party founder Huey Newton and his cohort, Bobby Seale. Al Monsour aided in getting Obama admitted to the Harvard Law School. There is some question as to who paid Obama's tuition. There are lots of questions for which there have been no answers.
Where is taxpayer money being funneled? Jeff Jones, former member of (SDS) Students for a Democratic Society and leader of the Weather Underground is now part of the Apollo Group. According to Senator Harry Reid, the Apollo group wrote the Obama stimulus bill. What is that all about? I would think even the strongest Obama supporter would be concerned when a private group is involved in the distribution of $787 billion dollars of taxpayer money.
