Chris Christie, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Jeb Bush came to grovel at the feet of this rich monster, whose only interest is that whomever gets his money must put Israel first and War with Iran at the top of the agenda. What does that say about their character? Kasich thanked Adelson for asking him to come. Said Kasich:
“Hey, listen, Sheldon, thanks for inviting me,” according to multiplereports. “I don’t travel to these things much, but this was one that I thought was really, really important. God bless you for what you do.”
Eric Alterman wrote:
If a Jew-hater somewhere, inspired perhaps by The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, sought to invent an individual who symbolizes almost all the anti-Semitic clichés that have dogged the Jewish people throughout history, he could hardly come up with a character more perfect than Sheldon Adelson.

Adelson would install Netanyahu in the White House if he had his druthers — Avnery
Once again we count on Israeli journalists to shine a light on American politics.
First, here’s a headline and subhead from Ha’aretz: “Jewish money corrupted the Jewish state: Diaspora Jewish philanthropists, showering money on Israeli politicians, helped ripen the field for corruption; Olmert’s conviction is just a case in point.”
A portion of Anshel Pfeffer’s report:
“early on in his career he [Olmert] came into close contact with too much Jewish money. I apologize to our more faint-hearted readers who may find that combination troublingly reminiscent, but the sad fact that Jewish money has corrupted a generation of leaders of the Jewish state is inescapable.”
Uri Avnery’s latest column is also about Diaspora Jewish money, in the person of Sheldon Adelson, corrupting both the U.S. and Israeli political process.
Flanked by Israeli bodyguards, Adelson grilled the American hopefuls. And what was he demanding from the future president of the United States? First of all and above everything else, blind and unconditional obedience to the government of another state:
Israel.
Wait, I didn’t know that about the bodyguards. Alex Kane and Annie Robbins filled me in. Politico:
He showed up 20 minutes late to a Friday morning RJC board meeting, zipping up to the entrance on his scooter flanked by two Hebrew-speaking bodyguards.
And three black bodyguard applicants sued in 2011 saying that the team is all Israeli:
[Adelson’s] “Executive Protection Team,” which for the past 14 years “has been comprised exclusively of former Israeli citizens who are white males.”
Back to Avnery:
Everything Adelson does is done openly, proudly, shamelessly. I wonder how ordinary Americans react to this spectacle of one billionaire – especially a Jewish one – choosing their next president for them.
We are told that anti-Semitism is on the rise in Europe and across the globe. In the crazy mental world of the anti-Semites, Jews control the cosmos. And here we have a Jew, straight out of the pages of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, trying to appoint the ruler of the mightiest country on the planet.
Adelson has failed in the past.
Eric Alterman also used the Protocols of the Elders of Zion analogy for Adelson, back in 2012. This is very funny, from Avnery:
But I have no doubt that his right-wing Zionist passions come first. If he succeeds in installing his favorite in the White House, the US will become totally subservient to the extreme right-wing in Israel. He might as well put Netanyahu in the Oval Office.
Now reflect that NPR just did a long story about Adelson’s financial influence, without mentioning the word Israel once.
JEB BUSH IS AN IDIOT! LOVES ILLEGAL ALIENS, HATES AMERICAN TAXPAYERS!
I would rather sell his children off for Zimbabwean medical experiments than vote for another @#&* Bush! Didn’t like the first, was completely insulted and disappointed with Jorge W, and now the wussypants RINOs want me to support El Jeb? I’d much prefer to make out with Whoopi Goldberg! And I’d rather give myself a .45 caliber headache than even think about that horror!
Every time Jeb Bush opens his pie-hole, it seems he’s preaching to Americans the benefits of tens of millions of illegal aliens entering the United States. All this while tens of millions of Americans are out of work. Those that still have jobs are struggling tremendously to make ends meet. But Jeb focuses only on the welfare of illegal aliens!
Here’s his most recent lunacy:
“I’m going to say this and it will be on tape, and so be it. The way I look at this is someone who comes to our country because they couldn’t come legally, they come to our country because their family’s dad who loves their children was worried that their children didn’t have food on the table, and they wanted to make sure their family was intact. And they crossed the border because they had no other means to work to be able to provide for their family. Yes, they broke the law, but it’s not a felony. it’s kind of — it’s a — it’s an act of love. It’s an act of commitment to your family. I honestly think that’s a different kind of crime that should be, there should be a price paid, but it shouldn’t be — it shouldn’t rile people up that people are actually coming to this country to provide for their families. And the idea that we’re not going to fix this but with with comprehensive reform ends up trapping these people, when they could make a great contribution for their own their families but also for us.
So I think we need to get beyond the harsh political rhetoric to a better place. The great number of people who come to this country come because they have no opportunities in other places. They may love their country, but they come here because they want to provide for their families. And they can make a contribution to our country if we actually organized ourselves in a better way.”
Jeb, there are people far poorer in the world than the largely Hispanic illegals entering America. China, India, Indonesia, all have people in far worse economic conditions. Should America look the other way and also let these uneducated, largely unskilled people enter the United States illegally? I’m sure they love their children and want to provide for them just as much as Mexicans.
Following Jeb’s logic, why shouldn’t I mosey on down to W’s house in Dallas and break in? Hey, W’s rich and I’m sure has a lot of cool stuff my children would like. I love my kids so why shouldn’t I break into W’s house and take all his stuff? Better yet, why don’t I just live there with my family? Oh, because I white. But that’s exactly what illegal aliens are doing to American taxpayers and workers.
70% of the children born in Parkland Hospital in Dallas are to illegal aliens without money or insurance to pay for the birth. But guess what other even better gift the illegal parents receive in addition to free health care? A brand new bouncing American citizen who qualifies for all those social programs like food stamps and welfare! And after dropping 6 or 8 new Americans, the welfare and food stamps can really add up! Ay caramba, Papa’s gonna get a new Ford F-150 troka! Hell, in the streets of Dallas, Lone Star food stamp debit cards are so prevalent they sell for $.50 on the dollar! Isn’t America lo maximo?? Those gueros are muy estupido, no? Chevere! Chevere!
Jeb’s brother Jorge W lost us when he insulted American citizens who opposed his and Ted Kennedy’s amnesty plan by saying “illegals do the work Americans won’t do.” I called major-league BS on that! Illegals do the work Americans don’t have to do because of skyrocketing welfare and food stamp programs! Get fired, gringo? No problema! You get two years of funemployment!! Eat, drink, and be merry (at taxpayer expense) because tomorrow we’re in Me-hee-co!
The Republican Party is completely owned by big corporations who love them some illegals. Illegals work like dogs for less money than those lazy, insolent welfare moochers! Plus, if you pay illegal workers cash, no payroll taxes!!! Open them gates and let all those child-loving illegals in!
America will succeed only if government run welfare is abolished and illegal immigration is eliminated. Americans must once again have the right to work or starve. That’s the way it was when America was running on all 8 cylinders before LBJ realized he could buy the eternal votes of poor people with welfare programs begun with the Great (Swindle) Society.
Charity must be returned to private organizations.we have no problem financially helping the aged, disabled, mentally ill, etc but not with corrupt politicians and legion of bureaucrats forking over my money! The worthless masses who will stand hours in line for Section 8 housing applications or for the latest $250 Nike shoe must be cut off from the taxpayer’s earnings! Same goes for illegals who broke our immigration laws to enter America. I would prefer the money I earn go to the welfare of my family. Any charity I choose to support should be just that…my choice! Not the choices of Barack Obama, Jeb Bush of the other 500+ corruptocrats in Washington!
I’m not anti-immigrant. I am anti-illegal immigrant! I’ve personally been through the legal immigration process and spent thousands of dollars playing by the rules. Amnesty in any form is a direct insult to those who were forced to deal with the incompetent ICE employees. I lived in South America as a yoot and I speak Spanish fluently. I like Hispanic people and most aspects of their culture. I guaran-damn-tee you I know much more about Latin culture and speak Spanish a whole hell-of-a-lot better than Jeb Damn Bush! And as a father, I don’t need his lecture on parents loving their children! I love mine and that’s why I’m trying to fight the lunacy in the Republican Party. The Dims are beyond redemption.
America has enough domestically grown moochers. We need no more. We must return moochers to producer status. That will not be easy. Generations of moochers have never worked a day in their lives and are lazy, uneducated, ignorant and bring no value to America.
I don’t like Jeb Bush or the Bush family. But I will respect Jeb Bush only when he opens the doors of his homes and fills them with illegals. He will also have to provide food and money to them and give them the run of his houses. Because that is what is happening in America on a much grander scale! Then, and only then, will Jeb Bush not be just the latest hypocritical corruptocrat doing the bidding of his corporate masters! Until then, Jeb, callate la jeta!
The problem with America is you can count on one hand the number of elected politicians who give a damn about Americans!

Zara ….. and others
Sorry, I don’t care what Adelson does with his money, nor the Koch brothers, nor George Soros (a Hungarian Jew who is the political polar opposite of Adelson; where’s your rant against Soros, Zara?). Nor, for that matter, what ANY individual or corporation or union or association of any kind does with their money WHEN I COMES TO POLITICAL SPEECH.
Constitutionally, any attempt to control political speech will fail. Countering the “appearance of corruption” is a joke. The McCain-Feingold campaign law is in tatters. And it wouldn’t matter whether or not which way the Supreme Court, liberal or conservative, rules on any particular case. The court is required to issue rulings on LAW, nothing more, nothing less.
Every law on political speech has holes you can drive a fucking Mack truck through. Why? Because it has to or would never get passed in the first place. McCain-Feingold is the pluperfect example of that. Took a decade to put it in its grave, but it’s essentially useless. A conservative court dismantled it, a liberal court would have upheld it.
Either way, the law was toothless to start with. It was “feel good” bullshit and only made clever people think of ways to bypass it. And bypass it they did. Get it?
“Sorry, I don’t care what Adelson does with his money, nor the Koch brothers, nor George Soros ..”

Even if that money is used to erode the things you believe in? Even if that money is used to further erode your rights?
Are you daft, man??
Stuck-Are you daft, man??
What a question to axe a government drone…of course the man is daft.He spent his entire working serving the dark side.
SSS, you sound like a closet Israel-firster. Why would you bring up Soros, because you think I only pick on rich Jews? I don’t know if Soros is even much of a supporter of Israel because his name never comes up in Israel related matters.
Only a closet Israel-firster wouldn’t first identify himself as a zionist and strong supporter of Israel as well as label me an anit-semite for this (and other) posts. Only an Israel-firster wouldn’t give a fuck if one of the richest men on earth used his fortune to manipulate US politics in favor of a foreign country.
Or maybe you are simply an idiot…
Well sumbitch. It looks like Soros is an ally!
George Soros-funded Foundations Contribute to Anti-Israel Groups
New report tracks groups funded by Soros-supported network of foundations

Billionaire George Soros’ network of foundations contributes tens of millions of dollars annually to groups that wage “political warfare” against Israel, according to a new report.
The report by NGO Monitor tracks the finances of the Open Society Foundations (OSF), which are headquartered in New York City and provide grants to numerous domestic and international programs—including several in the Middle East. OSF’s global network spent almost $910 million in 2012.
Several of the OFS-sponsored groups support boycott, divestment, and sanctions campaigns against Israel, equate Israel’s settlements in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip with South Africa’s former apartheid regime, and in some cases deny Israel’s right to exist.
One of those groups is Adalah, a human rights organization and litigator for 1.2 million Palestinian Arabs living in Israel that has previously received funding from an OSF branch. Adalah has decried what it views as “racist” laws affecting Palestinian citizens in Israel and compared the “colonial designs” of Israeli settlements to apartheid.
Adalah received $475,950 in 2010 and $204,275 in 2011 from the New Israel Fund, a group with ties to OSF, according to the fund’s financial reports.
Gisha, an Israeli nonprofit organization funded by OSF entities, aims to “protect the freedom of movement of Palestinians, especially Gaza residents,” the group’s website states. The organization routinely contests Israeli security measures in court, such as the blockade of Gaza and other movement restrictions.
Gisha collected $658,000 from OSF entities between 2007 and 2011, according to the report.
“[The funding of groups by OSF entities] suggests a pattern of institutional hostility to Israel that really doesn’t advance the cause of peaceful coexistence and a negotiated settlement,” Alexander Joffe, historian and author of the report, told the Washington Free Beacon.
Soros has criticized Israel and donated large sums to groups that focus their work on criticizing the Jewish state. He awarded his largest ever grant of $100 million to the controversial group Human Rights Watch (HRW) in 2010, after HRW’s founder publicly censured the group over directing the “brunt” of its criticism toward Israel.
HRW was also condemned by pro-Israel groups after some of its leaders endorsed the 2009 Goldstone Report. The report claimed that Israel intentionally targeted civilians while fighting in Gaza. Richard Goldstone, author of the report, withdrew that claim in 2011.
The NGO Monitor report also faults Soros for not living up to his own stated ideals of transparency and accountability and calls on the OSF network to “institute complete transparency.”
While Soros claims to support an “open society” philosophy that promotes equal access to knowledge, political freedoms, and human rights, groups like HRW devote most of their reports and attention to Israel. The group has afforded relatively minor importance to countries dominated by dictatorships, such as Syria and Yemen.
Other OSF-linked groups appear to intentionally operate as clandestine conduits for Soros’ money.
For example, the Stiftung Open Society Institute—registered in the small tax haven of Zug, Switzerland—is a major financial supporter of OSF–London, one of the largest OSF branches, the report states. The Stiftung Open Society Institute does not publish an annual report and is subject to lax disclosure laws in Switzerland.
A 2009 partnership agreement between the Stiftung Open Society Institute, also known as OSI-Zug, and Bulgarian associations at one point states that any additional uses “of OSI-Zug’s name shall not be made without express written approval from OSI-Zug.”
OSF’s global network allocated about $285 million for “Governance and Accountability” issues in 2012, the most of any category.
“This is very typical of what one finds with philanthropy,” Joffe told the Free Beacon. “They talk a good line, but they really don’t behave that way.”
The Open Society Foundations did not return a request for comment by press time.
Soros’ Foundation to Promote Open Society has previously donated to the National Iranian American Council, a group long suspected of lobbying for the Iranian regime. The foundation has also funded progressive activist groups, including donations of $825,000 to the Center for American Progress (CAP) and $675,000 to Media Matters in 2010. Both CAP and Media Matters have been denounced in the past for using anti-Semitic language in their tweets and writings.
Joffe said that although Soros does not direct all of the spending by the various foundations, his public statements and positions deserve more scrutiny.
“He has a philosophy which has to be taken seriously; his politics flow from his philosophy,” he said.
“His money catalyzes a lot of other peoples’ money.”

Z, you’re still on the wrong side of history.
It’s funny how you have a derogatory term for anyone you don’t like, or who disagrees with you. I know a few insecure assholes like that. Maybe it’s because they were bottle fed as babies, who knows.
Nonanon, I’m actually a pretty polite guy around here; I rarely whip out pejoratives on peeps; that’s partly because I’m all about tolerance and shit, and partly because I don’t give a fuck. Occasionally someone gets under my skin. Sorry. You have taken far worse from others than me so why would it bother you anyway?
You are on the wrong side of religion. Ahura Mazda is God and Yahweh is a Jewish bastardized version of it. Again all I can say is sorry.
About that whole G-d thing…
