I Have Not Heard The Name Mark Rich Mentioned One Time On Corporate Owned Media

Can you believe it?

A criminal tax evader Bill Clinton pardoned because Mrs. Rich gave a million dollars to his foundation.

Not one word from our "MSM".

It is sickening.

Why don't they all just admit they work for the Clinton Campaign?

1. You're making up for it. How many Mark Rich threads do we have at DU today and yesterday?

made a separate post. Good for you!

I love how we play brand new. Big money has no influence on people? Not the Clintons, anyway? Suuuuurrrrrre it doesn't.

3. From what I've read, Rich was pardoned at the urging of the Israelis.

Mossad has a word for active agent of influence. Rich was one of those.

Looks like his widow was grateful.

Actually, know that I typed that, I do remember linking to a wiki about Clinton's pardons in some post I made here. That's all I remember, though.

I found a shitload of Rich posts at sites I'm sure you'll love. You may need to type his name right to find it...It's Marc Rich

Such venerable outlets of journalism like The Free Beacon, Breitbart, NewsMax, News Busters & The Weekly Standard to name a few.

You really might consider spewing this sniveling bullshit over there, I'm sure you'll have an easier time trying to peddle it.

Is not a Republican smear.

It is simply a fact.

All I can do is the "vetting" thing.

I would never post something that wasn't 100% based in easy to google FACTS.

It just amazes me the MSM has not brought up this despicable act one single time.

10. But when Clinton was leaving office, Marc Rich was ALL they mentioned for weeks (remember?).

The reasoning was simple: Bush, who had been handed the office in a third-world style farce, needed to be "legitimized." That's what the elites wanted.

And since Dubya was utterly incapable of accomplishing that by his little self, his predecessor needed to be delegitimized to create the contrast.

Today, of course, the Clintons are the politicians-du-jour for the ruling class, so nothing too embarrassing must be mentioned.
