Inside The Mind Of An Oligarch – Sheldon Adelson Proclaims "I Don't Like Journalism"
Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
If you’ve read any of my articles over the past several years, you will be well aware of my disdain toward a small group of individuals I refer to as oligarchs, and their destructive influence on America and the world at large. When people hear “oligarch” they probably automatically assume I simply mean billionaires and other extraordinarily wealthy people, but as with most things in life, it’s not that simple.
In a nutshell, while almost all oligarchs are extremely wealthy (or have access to extreme wealth), not all people with extreme wealth are oligarchs. The term oligarch is reserved for those with extreme wealth who also want to control the political process, policy levers and most other aspects of the lives of the citizenry in a top-down tyrannical and undemocratic manner. They think they know best about pretty much everything, and believe unelected technocrats who share their worldview should be empowered so that they can unilaterally make all of society’s important decisions. The unwashed masses (plebs) in their minds are unnecessary distractions who must to be told what to do. Useless eaters who need to be brainwashed into worshipping the oligarch mindset, or turned into apathetic automatons incapable or unwilling to engage in critical thought. Either outcome is equally acceptable and equally encouraged.
These oligarchs and the centralized institutions they control pose the greatest threat to humanity at this time. I’m not exaggerating in the slightest when I say that the entire balance of the planet depends on their defeat. A world created in their image will be at best a technocratic, fascist dictatorship, and at worst end in a nuclear holocaust.
Think I’m taking this too far? Take a look at the opinions of these two billionaires. One is Haim Saban, a so-called “Democrat,” the other, Sheldon Adelson, a so-called “Republican.” Both incredibly influential, both completely fucking insane, although Adelson makes Saban look like Gandhi.
First from Israel’s oldest daily, Haaretz:
Billionaire casino mogul and conservative donor Sheldon Adelson said Sunday that the Palestinians are a made-up nation which exists solely to attempt to destroy Israel.
At the conference, which also featured top Democratic funder Haim Saban, Adelson also said Israel would not be able to survive as a democracy: “So Israel won’t be a democratic state, so what?” he asked Saban, adding that democracy, after all, is not mentioned in the Torah, and recommended that the country build a “big wall” to protect itself, saying, “I would put up a big wall around my property.”
Saban and Adelson should buy The New York Times together in an effort to bring more “balance” to the newspaper’s coverage of Israel and the Middle East, Adelson suggested to wild applause. Adelson already owns Israel Hayom, a free Israeli newspaper widely seen as reflecting the positions of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is considered close to Adelson, and, more recently, news website NRG and religious newspaper Makor Rishon.
“I don’t like journalism,” Adelson said, highlighting what he said was the media’s insistence on focusing on the empty half of the glass.
See what a sociopath this guy is? He claims he doesn’t like journalism, yet owns a newspaper and wants to buy the New York Times. I suppose it makes sense. The best way to rob a bank is to own one, and the best way to destroy journalism is to own a propagandist newspaper.
Meanwhile, the Washington Post does a great job of showcasing how these two will basically handpick the 2016 Presidential candidates from both phony political parties:
The billionaire political kingmakers planning to bankroll much of the 2016 presidential campaign spoke out together Sunday with blunt warnings on key issues for their respective parties.
Haim Saban, a media mogul and close Democratic ally of Hillary Rodham Clinton, criticized President Obama’s outreach to Iran, declaring that “we’ve shown too many carrots and a very small stick.”
Sheldon Adelson, a casino magnate who is likely to tap into his fortune in an effort to elect a Republican to the White House, upbraided many in the GOP for their opposition to legalizing millions of undocumented immigrants. Without a comprehensive overhaul, he said, the country would not be “the America that I’m proud to live in.”
Adelson, 81, and Saban, 70, have gained enormous political power in the new era of super PACs and unlimited contributions, and both made it clear during a rare joint appearance Sunday before an audience of several hundred Israeli Americans that they intend to assert that power during the next presidential campaign and beyond with policy demands for their candidates. In particular, they vowed to press both sides for a more hawkish approach to the Middle East.
Still, Saban said that he thinks Clinton would repair the relationship and that he has told her he would spend “whatever it takes” to propel her into the White House. That includes giving millions of dollars to Priorities USA, a super PAC that helped Obama in 2012 and is revving up to aid Clinton in 2016.
Adelson countered, “Why don’t you and I go after the New York Times?” Saban said that he has “tried over and over to buy it” but that the family-owned Times is not for sale. Adelson quipped, “There is only one way to fight it: money.”
While Saban will do “whatever it takes” to get oligarch coddler Hilary Clinton into the White House, Sheldon Adelson will do whatever it takes to make sure no candidate with libertarian leanings or a less aggressive foreign policy ever gets the GOP nomination. I highlighted this threat earlier this year in the post: Neo-Con Republicans Make Pilgrimage to Vegas to Kiss the Ring of Oligarch Sheldon Adelson. Here’s an excerpt:
The case of Adelson exhibits all these issues of corruption and eccentricity. Much of his current fortune is recent and derives from the Macao casino, and Adelson has admitted to “likely” breaking Federal rules against using bribes to do business in other countries. (A reference to allegations that his company was involved in rewarding legislators of the Chinese Communist Party for supporting his Macao project.) There was a time when this admission alone would put the donor off limits for mainstream politicians.
Adelson has a right to vote and advocate for his candidates. But the idea that he and his like should choose the next president is too awful to contemplate. One person, one vote isn’t one person, $100 million worth of votes. That isn’t democracy…
Both Christie and Bush are cut from the same mainstream Republican cloth: well liked by the donor class and viewed suspiciously by conservative activists. If they both compete in 2016 — and to be clear, neither has decided on a bid —they’ll be fighting for the roughly same slice of the Republican pie, and perhaps more importantly, many of the same donors.
But as Christie stumbled, Bush soared. The former governor was feted at a private dinner on Thursday to kick off the weekend. The dinner was held at Adelson’s private airplane hangar.
The key takeaway from this post is to showcase what goes on within the minds of oligarchs. It doesn’t matter which fake party they claim to adhere to, at their core, they both express a hatred for democracy by utilizing their vast fortunes to singlehandedly drive key policy decisions. But don’t take it from me. They said it in their own words.
Oligarchs comes in all shapes and sizes. From all nations, from all ethnicities and from all religious dogmas. They key way to identify an oligarch is by their combination of extreme wealth and a burning desire to remake society in their image (no matter what that image may be) in an anti-democratic and tyrannical manner.
Their mindset and tactics epitomize the worst qualities humanity has to offer, and represent the enemy of human progress on this planet.

LOL...the corporate media LOVES to serve the corporations and plutocrats...
this sounds like propaganda from Adelson meant to redeem american journalism in the minds of americans, many of whom are now beginning to realize that the media is not their friend.
Didn't the oligarchs currupt the media and all the journalists?

Haim Saban.... Haim Saban....
"Power Rangers"???
WTF is journalism? Certainly not what Obola's "stenographers" at the MSM practice! Journalism is dead!
Whatever polishes your Rascal, Shel...
So how many guillotines can we squeeze into his patio?
It's easier for a camel to walk through the eye of a needle, than it is for a rich man to make it to heaven.
This is just white wash. ...they've already got MSM captured
These guys are Pharisee minded, Talmudic Jews. They don't give care about a quote from the New Testament. The New Testament is complete bullshit to them. They do not believe your Jesus was the Messiah, yet the dumb Christian sheep fall over themselves trying to lick the boots of the Talmudic Jews... Religions are nothing more than a trick, an excuse and a pacifier.
haters gonna hate
lobbies gonna lobby...
WTF is journalism?
Not something you will get from a Liberty Blitzkrieg Article.
Zionist troll alert ^.
That reminds me of a quote from Sarah Silverman, "Fuck YWVH. If he was here today, I'd gas him myself"....
Isn't that hilarious? The daughter of a major media exec puts this into her comedy routine. People think it's incredibly funny. A huge hit among the city "folk"....
Zionist Troll
The public must be kept in the dark about what is happening to them. The “herd” must remain “bewildered”. The reasons were explained lucidly by the professor of the science of government at Harvard – that’s the official name – another respected liberal figure, Samuel Huntington. As he pointed out, “power remains strong when it remains in the dark. Exposed to sunlight, it begins to evaporate”. -- Noam Chomsky
The irony is:
Third world nations have being dealing with US oligarchs taking from them for a long long time.
Now Americans are starting to experience the same.
Fabrication, lying, cruel and counterproductive policies at home and abroad, bloating of the deficit, widening the gap between rich and poor: These are the America legacy.

Me want moar cheap labor!!!
Fucking hysterical.
It would be helpful, when writing about the various oligarchs, to include addresses.
Some of us would be fascinated by who lives nearby.
Adelson sounds like the other oligarch cunts like Sorass, Blumturd, Boffit, et. al.
Adelson doesn't like journalism... and I don't like Adelson.
Just looking for some common ground, ya know.
Common Ground is right there, where it has always been, close to your toes. Look for it.
Happy mother fucking Veterans Day!
Fantastic story. We can begin their destruction by obliterating the institution that allows/funds their trans-continental dominion: the BIS.
Hands down this institution, hand-in-hand with the U.N., is bent on killing national sovereignty for their vision of a unified world. Kill the BIS and you put a massive roadblock up for our uber progressive citizens. (Whichever country they may happen to reside in)
Footnote: by "their" I mean oligarchs. This story may pick out 2 who happen to be of Jewish decent but don't kid yourself, they come in all ethnic and religious backgrounds. Don't take my word for it and do some homework.
I don't like Israeli dual citizens in our government.
This schmuck and the rest of the J-mafia crew should all be locked up just like the Italian mobsters were. The reason they are not is because they spend more money buying politicians. Also unlike the aid Italy gave in the crackdown against the mob, Israel gives them a safe place to run to.
Sheldon Adelson and Larry Silverstein...
The herniated left testicle and shrunken useless right testicle of the "father of all lies and founder of murder"
Well, Sheldon, we don't have journalism. We have script readers and apologists to provide cover for criminals and their minions.
As of July 2014, Adelson was listed by Forbes as having a fortune of $36.4 billion, and as the 10th richest person in the world.[3]
Well surely this guy with the backing of the Italian Government... couldn't have influence on the US Government. He couldn't be a Jewish War Supporter or a Zionist?
Adelson is also a major contributor to Republican Party candidates, which has resulted in his gaining significant influence within the party.[4][5]
End of Story.
In 2012, the powers that be made sure to freeze out Ron Paul. They nuked Rick Perry or he really screwed up.
This essentially left CFR member Newt, Romney and Rick Santorum. Santorum had the conservative Charistian vote. Adelson was backing Romney and also throwing money to Newt to be a conservative spolier. The strategy was to take votes away from Santorum using Newt. It worked in South Carolina but people got wise.
Adelson even said that he "liked Rick Santorum but he was too Christian" for Adelson. Santorum had huge momentum and was destroying Romney in the midwest. The Romney-Rove team started doing late voting in cities like Detroit, Milwaukee, Madison, cities in Ohio. Wait til the rest of the state's votes come in and steal what you need. Santorum carried every county in Michigan but they stole it in Detroit. They used the same "Dem city late in the final count vote theft" routine They did this in about 4 states. Then pressured Santorum to quit.
During the general election, Oboma did the same thing to Romney stealing votes in cities after the rest of the state had posted their numbers. Obama stole many of the swing states from Romney including Florida. Romney acting bewildered, disappearing and blaming their software failure on the day of the election causing the loss told me the whole election was a scam.
Adelson and Saban are pieces of shit oligarchs.
holy sh*t, ...and you mean Haim Saban?
dont get so picky on the details ... it is not stealing ... they own the place, if it is not the late voting or whatever, it will be smt else
In 2012, the powers that be made sure to freeze out Ron Paul. They nuked Rick Perry or he really screwed up.
if Rick Santorum won we woulda been in a whole other world of hurt ... he was bad , maybe not as bad at obummer , but he was so proisrael i dont even think he could be considered a christian .... just awful that guy
just a regular scam bag trying to work the system ,...
I am tempted to post something unflattering to the tribalists, but I'm not going to do it.
I am reminded of when I saw a poor kid who was on a bad acid trip being chased by a group of Christians at a Rainbow Gathering. The Christians surrounded the kid and they were shouting, "I command you to come out of him, in the name of Jesus Christ!" The kid just snarled and muttered and made gutteral demon noises.
I pushed through the screaming Christians, and went up to the kid and said in his ear, "I love you man, you're ok." Immediately he calmed down. I turned to the Christians and said, "Don't you remember when the disciples tried to cast out the demon, and couldn't, and asked Jesus why not, and he said."This kind only comes out by fasting and prayer'"?
"What he meant was that you have fast and pray to get rid of your hate. You have to love the person, not hate the demon. The demon knows who Jesus is. The demon isn't afraid of a name. This isn't magic! The name Jesus isn't like abracadabra! The demon is feeding on your hate and fear. Your yelling is just making it stronger. You have to love. That's what the demons can't stand, love and compassion. It's the spirit of Christ they hate, not magic words."
Anyway, without saying anything against Adelson or this other oligarch, I would just say I will not let them goad me into hating them. If I do that, they win.
I don't hate them, I loathe them.
BTW, love is the answer.
"BTW, love is the answer."
And some knowledge.
You guys can love them while we lop their heads off. Say a little prayer for me!
pods
I love you, man.
The problem is love works with regular people, not psychopaths. A psychopath sees love as a mental weakness, a vagary of human perception. Love a psychopath and become a victim. Unfortunately they respect nothing but pure, unadulterated force. Force appeals to the only thing a psychopath truly understands...self preservation.
I LOVE TO HATE THEM:)
Master IridiumRebel; I'm sure that Human Resources agree with you. But their mission is to minimize compensation, put people down, demand proof of education and further education... and to create classes in many ways
- Unskilled
- Skilled Physical Labor
- College & University Educated
- Those with University or Advanced Degrees
- Those that are Doctors or Experts in Specific Areas useful to the MIC or others
- Those that are Wealthy, Elite, or from the Deserving Class
- Plus a special class for Veterans, Retired Veterans, Retired Government Officials
- And those that Lobbied for Government Appointments, Ambassadors, Secretaries, many other senior service appointees
Where is your Class under the English System?
We are all Human Resources under an Empire. Objects. Chattel to be managed. Accounts to be Securitized.
Hm... looks like 8 Classes in USA.
Sorry if I misunderstood your comment.
damn straight, man.

edit: anyone who haven't yet done it, would do themselves a great favour by watching original The Prisoner series. Episodes 1 and 2 laid out the globalist agenda to a T almost 50 years ago.
Good stuff.
If you haven't availed yourself, I highly recommend the series Deadwood. It lays out in microcosm how and why a community and government develops and what forces are at play.
Kill your television.
Deadwood lays out nothing more than a way for you to piss away another hour of your life.
Knowledge is "hidden" in books, not television PROGRAMS.
Let me get this straight, you haven't seen it yet are certain it contains nothing of value? Your loss as it's a fine, carefully written dramatization.
I don't watch TV and do read books voraciously.
Deadwood's fucking great, and does indeed provide an excellent & entertaining illustration of how powerful men create/manipulate government to further their interests. +1.
McCormick No. 9;
Voted you up 2 hours ago. Guess my add to the thread was confusing.
Right #9, you just go ahead and keep turning the other cheek, I'm sure Jesus and the oligarchs love you too.
I've got huge respect for the author and only submit this comment so as to share my view of a particular obsevation I've made concerning the individual and herd mentality differences between the three major (lets just call it three for the sake of simplification?) active political mind-sets presently engaged here in 'America'.
"They think they know best about pretty much everything, and believe unelected"
Okay so unelected is underscored as a key distinction, the reason being is that both neocons and progressives play in the 'we must be led' camp.
Thats the first two 'major' political mentalities.
The third is of course the Libertarian point of view (what a mess!). Libertarians are above all realist.
Because we're realist we understand that it's not the unelected who represent humanities greatest danger.
Humanities greatest danger is the elected sociopaths who delegate the malicious and fraudulent authority.
Our freedoms create our greatest vulnerabilities. To trust, to believe, to allow freedom of expression creates huge opportunities for those who seek to control or destroy us. While I wouldn't want to argue against the author's point, I would suggest that the current owner of the Times is not a paragon of truth or journalism. To lament the circumstances of the press is accurate but this has been going on for a long time. We can only hope for competing interests to expose their corruption. Ultimately there is no organization, government or news source that will protect us as that is as it always has been, up to each of us individually. Human life is an incredibly complicated mess, but look at the crazy shit we have done over the thousands of years. Don't count us out yet.
The unelected and elected are one of the same. One is the puppet and the other pulling the strings at the back. One can't do without the other.
(Stealth) taxation without representation.
Who does like the propagandists of the Fascists?
the country build a “big wall” to protect itself,
I saw that movie. The wall idea didn't work.
The last Americans that won a war are passing away as they hit 90 years old. The time to win a war for America is fast approaching.
Wealth and power must never again be allowed to become concentrated. The tech has become far too powerful. The oligarchs have no idea what they are dealing with.
There can be only one!

The "oligarchs" are not the greatest threat to humanity. The greatest threat is the ignorant complacency and unconsciouness of the "masses". Millions of minds forming a mass complacent, unconscious victim attitude giving away their "power" by voting for criminals as politicians is thousands of times more scary than any oligarch agenda.
Infact, the oligarchs are the smart crazy bastards that will push everything so far to the limit that maybe the masses will "wake up"....but then again, look at history, do the masses ever really wake up or just replace one mommy / daddy / power figure with another?
As long as the "masses" keep giving away all their power, it will rain oligarchs, wars, famine and control. Good luck blaming an oligarch.....or does doing so make you feel power when you really have none.
Adelson or Soros. Choose your oligarch. How sad that would not be if someone would buy the NY Times and put us out of our misery. I thought the Palestinian constitution explicitly states that der Jews must be driven into the sea. West coast tech giants Gates Balmer and Allen are worth more than Adelson and contribute heavily to lib causes and they like journalism because most of it is lib. Journalists do not like Adelson. I am more concerned about the author of this post than Adelson.
Do you mewn the Hamas charter? It says no such thing, although, as would be expected ftom the grandkids of people ethnically cleansed from bulldozrd and renamed towns in what is now Israel - they call for the end of a Jewish ethnarchy. Meanwhile Likud's own platform is staunchly against the natives ever having a state, just perpetual victimization and disinfranchisement at the hands of new arrivals from Russia and Brooklyn who think they have a racially derived right to land on which they'd never set foot.
As for your being less concerned with Adeldon's affect on the country than the author's, I can only assume you are a rabid racialist, an actual idiot, or both.
Hamas Covenant - "Obliteration of Israel"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamas_Covenant
Hamas leader Mahmoud Al-Zahhar, Future News TV, June 15, 2010, Source: MEMRI.org"We have liberated Gaza, but have we recognized Israel? Have we given up our lands occupied in 1948? We demand the liberation of the West Bank, and the establishment of a state in the West Bank and Gaza, with Jerusalem as its capital – but without recognizing [Israel]. This is the key – without recognizing the Israeli enemy on a single inch of land...
"Our plan for this stage is to liberate any inch of Palestinian land, and to establish a state on it. Our ultimate plan is [to have] Palestine in its entirety. I say this loud and clear so that nobody will accuse me of employing political tactics. We will not recognize the Israeli enemy. "
Adelson is a billionaire loose cannon. The media is committed socialist cartel run by the tribe who unconditionally support the likes of Soros, Bloomberg, Buffet, Gates, Dimon, Blankfein, Oprah.
In Russia, Moscow - man stands with a sign that say "Release political prisoners" - what happens next in country that is ruled by Putin - you can see your own eyes.
http://youtu.be/oAERcKFgX9A
Putin had to wrest control of Russia's resources from competing oligarch mafias, while resisting effotts by US backed neocon ngos to destabilize his government. While not a beacon of liberty, Russia is more free and prosperous under Putin than it was before.
Meanwhile both Bush and Obama have spent 13 years shredding the Bill of Rights, helping the Fed/Wall Street continue to siphon off the country's wealth, as American police fly to Israel on AIPAC and ADL sponsored sojourns to learn from the best how to treat the public like the IDF treats the Palestinians they brutally occupy.
You may want to remove that plank of wood from your eye before thread-jacking is my point. It makes you look like a bit silly is all.
Perspective, man.
Great post. Thanks. Soon, Pro-Putin trolls will be here to try to do the same thing to your post.
Keep making trouble: It annoys the pseudo-pro-liberty hypocrites.
The Prisoner TV show had a great premise, unforgettable theme, excellent acting and NO, Hollywood would never make a show like that again.
We are ALL Number 6
Indeed, Alex.
It is remarkable that on the 2006 remake of the show number 6 sells out at the end. And they changed the show signature from "I'm not a number, I'm a free man" to "you only think you're free".
That shows how powerful the message of the first Prisoner was that when Hollywood got hold of it they destroyed it.
Fark that cark!
Oligarchs/plutocrats/aristocrats basically all the same. These are the power elite that now control government. Adelson is one of the worst offenders. For example, he has vowed to get conservative evangelicals and Baptists to accept gambling as mere entertainment. Perhaps you’ve already noticed the lack of discussion of gambling (ah, gaming) as a sin in these circles? Years ago these folks would have condemned such activities but not today. America... the kind of place where a crooked gambling tycoon (who should be in jail) gets to wield vast political power. This country is doomed.
Also, the article fails to mention real driver behind this… Citizen’s United… Nader said it well…
http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/statement-of-ralph-nader-on-supr...
Kind of makes you think about casting your lot for the politician of choice, no?
http://www.learnliberty.org/videos/what-you-probably-havent-heard-about-...
Citizens United had absolutely, positively nothing at all to do with Adelson's efforts to buy the Presidency - then or now.
It also didnt say corporations are people or that money is speech. Primarily, it overturned a law that allowed .gov to decide if speech was 'advocacy' and thereby fine or jail people (humans) for doing so within 30 days of an election.
Try as I might, I can't see how the First allows Congress to pass such a law. What was truly frightening is 4 justices can 'interpret' the First as allowing the Congress to do that which the plain text expressly forbids it from doing.
By the way most newspapers are corporations, and no, 'the press' in the 1st didnt give more rights to the NY Times than to Thomas Painev- it meant the *printed word*... see the danger of the underlying law now, with a Republican Congress eager to abridge speech *you*:might like?
Very misunderstood case. Mostly because people who havent read it, and have no legal background, nevertheless deem themselves experts based on the ideologically-driven screeds of pundits who also probably didnt read it, but got a summary from a Left wing lawyer who believes the touchstone of Constitutionality is whether or not they like the result.
2 junks - okay, can either of you even attempt to prove I'm wrong here? I've read the case very carefully 3 times.
Have you?
Ralph Nader is a Harvard trained lawyer and I'm sure that he's read the decision. Your link to the LearnLiberty web site is itself revealing. Surely you are aware that this site (like the “Tea Party” movement) is a Koch sponsored organization.
The oligarchic Koch’s make Sheldon Adelson look like a rank amateur.
You do know the history of the Koch’s don’t you? Or, are you part of their organization?
The Koch's thought that Eisehower was a communist. They originated as Birchers. Their ideas can be reduced to the following- "Government is bad except when it benefits us." Ironically enough, the consequences of their efforts will result in LESS liberty as the country transitions into a true plutocracy (rule by the wealthy).
The effect of this decision is that money will be recognized as speech and corporate personhood has been advanced. It just stops short of actually having the following equations- corporations=persons and money=speech.
we were all created to kill the worlds problems
100% pure socialist propaganda.
The political power is very obviously in the hands of those who pass the legislation, and that is very obviously in favor of exploding entitlement programs, income taxes, debt, FED debt-monetizing, increasing import of & amnesties for uneducated unskilled latin entitlement-tit suckers & democrat party voters, and ever increasing regulation & taxation of the successful people to subsidize the unsuccessful people.
If the political power was in the hands of the wealthy, oligarchs, bankers, etc, then there would be no income taxes, no entitlement programs, no regulatory agencies or legislation, etc.
100% pure envy & resentment propaganda, worthless shit.
But the socialist vermin want to distract you from focusing on these realities and instead get you feeling resentful & envious of the wealthy. This deceitful exploitative ploy has been used for millennia, and it continues to be effective with the stupid.
d00d.. are you one of these paid gov trolls we here about?
becasue either that, or your even more ignorant than your sheep like posts suggest.
socialism. LOL
fucking monoploy. Plutocracy.
your childish shrieks of socialism reek of a drudge guy that found a new place to rant and show his ass. wake up bro...
You are EXACTLY the kind of moron that Jonathan Gruber was referring to in relying upon passing obamacare - clearly you are one of the entitlement-tit-sucking parasites who wants to distract tax victims from your thieving parasite lifestyle.
Sounds a little like blaming the victim for having Ebola. Maybe the victim could have been more vigilant but unfortunately human nature has weaknesses a culturally unified, studied and determined virus can exploit. We will have to see what response the immune system will provide. Cause and effect, if Putin weren't so taciturn he could explain it.
Nah, we just don't like his fucking FACE.
Krieger, closet oligarch.
Sorry but some people just need to shut up and die.
http://forward.com/articles/206542/how-the-israel-lobby-set-beto-orourke...
I may be wading into a shit storm but Adelson is merely doing what AIPAC and many (not all, of course!) Jewish donors do nationally, as single issue voters primarily concerned with using American blood and treasure to assist Israel in its eforts to "defend itself":from the people whose homes, hospitals, schools, and crops it destroys, with regularity, as part of a decades-long scheme to ethnically cleanse and expand territory for an ethnarchy of (mostly) recent arrivals, while maintaining the illusion of desiring peace and being the perpetual, immaculate victim of the brown zombie hordes.
Here's the thing: While the pro-Israel crowd is in fact mostly comprised, in votes terms, of Evangelical (mostly Anglo and Scotch Irish who brought their gift for hatred with them here 200 years ago) the money and political deal making and media propaganda is manifestly Jewish.
Very reputable, including some Jewish news sources estimate that Jews contribute around 45% to as much as 2/3 of individual contributions to both sides of the fascist duopoly.
That is remarkable. Combined with disproportionate media power, the result is an American Congress that was unanimous in supporting Israel's recent, unequivocao, and ostentatious war crimes in Gaza. Jewish power and privilege completely Orwellized the narrative, turning a pre-planned slaughter unleashed on a pre-text into 'Israel defending itself'.... via tanks and jets and battleships (or cruisers) ...from mostly ineffective rockets, themselves warcrimes, but launched *after* multiple Israeli airstrikes and Palestinian deaths.
Consider the link at top if you didnt read it. It strikes me that this is the gloating of a tiny group of people (4,000) offended by the notion that an American Congressman would not simply do as the organized Jewish community says.
This is a real problem, folks. As the article should show, even eminently reasonable, honest, and common sense votes on giving taxpayer money to Israel results in immediate "wrath." Combine this with a public purposely kept ignorant of the realities of Israel's occupation, its history of spying and false flag terror, and the racism and terrorism of many of Israel's foundinflg fathers - it is no wonder that the neocons were able to lie us into Iraq based on lies.
The disproportionate influence of Adelson is nothing compared to the disproportionate influence of Israel's 5th Column, and while vores-wise that's Xian Zios, money, media, and political deal-making wise, it's Israel Firster Jews - meaning a fraction of 2.5%of the population.
Crying 'anti-Semite' may continue to work to forbid honest and open discussion inbthevMSM, but that's not good for the US, or millions of Palestinians, or in the longer run, Israel itself.
In any party where Netanyahu is a moderate, in any country where he receives standing ovations for lies, deceptions, and empty rhetoric, cowardice in the face of the fictitious 'anti-Semitism' charge will cost many lives.
I don’t think Mike Krieger understands. The problem that Sheldon Adelson presents is not a problem of democracy. Matters go deeper than that.
Right now, within the USA, a war is being fought. The battlefield of the war is mostly in the realm of finance, culture and politics. However, there is about this war a curiosity. Many on one side do not have a clear understanding of the nature of the conflict.
Stripped to essentials, and making no concession to political correctness, the war is between Jews on one side and Americans of European origin on the other. In this conflict the Jews are winning in no small measure because their leaders have been imaginative, creative, daring, persistent – and ruthless.
The European side, on the other hand, is not well organized. Euro-Americans frame their understanding of the conflict in terms of superficialities, such as income distribution, or democratic process, not in terms of the real issue, which is this and this alone: succession of the generations.
A huge amount of historical baggage clouds the judgment of Euro-Americans. They do not understand that Jews have mounted a generations-long campaign of subversion and demoralization. They do not understand that Jews do not share a common moral heritage and are unconstrained by considerations of morality. The principle that guides Jewish conduct is straightforward and simple: what is good for them.
Not ordinary Jews but organized Jewry operates as a mafia. Call it the “kosha-nostra” and understand that Israel is its organizational headquarters and enforcement arm. Israel is also a safe-haven for kosha-criminals hightailing it beyond the reach of goyim law.
The standard response that defenders of Jews make (besides the ritual incantation of “anti-semitism, which is losing its stickum) is to ask: how can such a small minority have such a large influence? But actually the small size of the Jewish community is a source of strength. Power in politics is organization. It is much easier to organize a small group of people with a similar outlook than a large group. (The classic example of this is, of course, the November revolution in Russia in 1917. The Bolshevik party at the time had only 20,000 members. The organizational heart of that party, by the way were Jews.)
Jews -- organized Jews -- play hardball. If their power is not broken, they will be in a position to do to Euro-America what they did to Slavic-Russia in the old USSR. The Jews may not choose to go down the path of mass murder as state policy, but -- as I say – do not kid yourselves. Organized Jewry showed what it is capable of doing on 9/11. To trust them would be folly.

I'd rather have Adelson than shit for brains obama/jarrett determine how the "news" is presented...
Actually I prefer the FACTS... without the spin
Media and control over same is incestuous left wing propaganda machine

gone..... Hearst knew how to spew self serving propaganda and CNN MSNBC CNBC are rejected by the "stupid" amerikans who recognize bullshit no matter how packaged.
Apparently Adelson and Saban are unaware that their host (America) is reeling from an overabundance of parasites (Israelis) and has become both dangerously infectious and weakened to the worlds non tribal members. Adelson and Saban are particularly virulent strains of this parasite tribe who have become quite drunk on the hosts juices and are therefore incapable of seeing the structural errors in their "strategy". For its part the host seems to have become cationic and will need to suffer greatly before hopefully some small ember of clear minded patriots take the hard actions needed to rectify the disease.

They must be referring to real jounalism, which basically doesn't exist any more.
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
I really don't like these guys, nor do I have any sympathy for or allegiance to any of the candidates they back or the parties they purport to support.
But, that's the hand we've been dealt by SCOTUS, the most corrupt court in the world, ever since the "selection" of King George over AlGore in 2000.
We have no reliable institutions remaining in what once was the greatest country on the planet. The politicians, assemblies, state senates and houses, courts, cops, governors' mansions, you name it, they've all been co-opted by the oligarchs with money and power. Sadly, most of them happen to be Jewish, which isn't bad in and of itself, but it breeds like a disease among the 1%.
Our fight is against corruption and amalgamated power on the one hand, and sloth and ignorance on the other. The middle class is being nicely hollowed out from both ends. Society has pretty much ceased to exist in the former USA, so we have to keep fighting the good fight, identify and oppose the forces of evil and point them out to our less-enlightened brethren whenever possible.
It may be a losing battle, but it's better to go down swinging than begging for mercy. Show no fear and accept no masters. I'm about to turn 61, and I'll be god-damned if I'm going to live the rest of my life cowering from ill-disguised Nazis.
Our best weapons are PMs, brains and bullets. Have them in quantity, keep acquiring them, use them wisely and we'll win.

The repeatedly implied assertion of your video, that the FDA and it's drug approval and oversight processes are a model for good governance of Wall Street, would be hilarious if it wasn't so nauseating.
i agree the analogy is flawed, but there is still
an important point there. nausea and suicidal ideation
are mere side effects of the good team made by abilify
and your favorite anti depressant. remeron (mirtazapine)
,and another pharma products, were found in robin williams
upon autopsy. it is banned for use in children as it
causes suicidal thoughts and acts.
the bankers and financial engineers are homicidal, suicidal
but they don't know or care, that is the point. my guess is
neither do most medicated people.

maybe this will get you to throw up this morning?

"..This was why the former Labor government did not conclude the bilateral trade agreement with Korea (Kafta) – it contained an ISDS clause. Our concerns were far from scaremongering, but the Coalition government didn’t share them, and signed the agreement back in April. The TPP also contains ISDS clauses that have been extensively criticised. Robb expects it to be concluded by the end of the year.
ISDS clauses present a sovereign risk to national governments and court systems. It wasn’t always so. They were originally created to protect businesses that invested in foreign jurisdictions where there may not have been robust democracies and legal systems, so that investors would have international redress if there was a coup, a takeover of their investments or some other unforeseen negative impact on their business in the nature of sovereign risk.
Over time, the reasonable shield offered by ISDS clauses has become a sword, used by multinational corporations to extract profit and market advantage, against the legitimate interests and values of a nation, its government and people." m.p.

they are destroying the constitution (just a piece of paper) and
maybe one person in a million sees it? they use finance, the money
system and law in combination with medications to accomplish it.
good night.
it was a rhetorical question,
"are we all financial muppets now?"
look around, muppets, as far as the eye can see
and becoming more so.
"hilarious and nauseating", i would rather say
provocative.
With Jews we lose.

Oligarchs for Israel:

The problem with these people isn't their money, it's their fucking mouths and their egos. I absolutely applaud anyone who's able to amass a multibillion-dollar fortune...good for them! But when that same person then feels compelled to open their mouth and throw their weight around at every single opportunity, that's when I want to STRANGLE THEM WITH PIANO WIRE.
It's a simple formula:
Money + humility = WAY TO GO!
Money + ego = GET CANCER!
The rich are scum.
