How Congressmen Enrich Themselves

We all know that the U.S. congress is not serving the public from the laws they passed to SUPPRESS individual rights, to ALIENATE the U.S. from the rest of the world in support of Israel's paranoid phantasm of being eliminated by surrounding neighbors, and to support ongoing ILLEGAL wars for corporate interests in the Middle East.

What we obviously see is that the members of the Congress do serve one thing - MONEY.

How could a congressman become very wealthy with just a paying salary of $174,000 a year?

Most of them are bought by corporations, especially defense contractors and pharmaceutical companies, as well as lobbyists for Israel.

In addition, there's a way to enrich themselves in stocks. The laws against stock market insider trading don't apply to the members of the Congress!!!

Let's try to understand this one. The Congress passed the laws AGAINST insider trading for anyone living in the U.S. But, those same laws DON'T apply to members of the Congress?!

This article reveals that "Congress and their aides have regular access to powerful political intelligence, and many have made well-timed stock market trades in the very industries they regulate."

So principles, ethics, justice go right out the door. There you have it - a corrupt congress that definitely DOES NOT serve and represent the people.

One more example of the dysfunctional American democracy.

UN's hypocrisy on Iran's designing an atomic bomb

The UN hypocrisy is clearly displayed here reporting that "Iran appears to have worked on designing an atomic bomb."

So what?!

Look at the nations that have nuclear weapons for mass destruction. They are members of the exclusive nuclear power club, Nuclear-Poliferation Treaty (NPT), in the UN Security Council: United States, Russia, United Kingdom, France and China. By the way, three of which, the U.S. Britain and France also belong to another exclusive club, NATO, which is now wreaking havoc in the Middle East with ongoing wars.

Then there are the non-NPT nations that have nuclear bombs, namely India, Pakistan and North Korea.

Last of all, the undeclared nuclear power, Israel, with its advanced drone technology and hidden nuclear arsenal plants, ludicrously threatened to bomb Iran's nuclear sites so that Israel could remain the ONLY nuclear power in its vicinity.

If UN really wanted to punish non-NPT nations for possessing nuclear weapons, then it should start punishing India, Pakistan, and North Korea first, and especially Israel for not being forthright about its possessions of nuclear bombs.

Besides, who has the right to decide which nation can or cannot have nuclear weapons?

We all know the UN is run by the United States, which is now the main warmonger in the world. It's obvious the NPT bullies are trying to keep weaker nations from defending themselves with nuclear bombs that the U.S. first introduced to humanity in its mass destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

If there is going to be any punishment at all, it'd be for the rest of the world, about 180 nations, to punish ALL the nations that HAVE nuclear bombs for bringing mass destruction to humanity!!!

Isn't it time for the world nations to wake up and stop letting a handful of superpowers dictate the fate of our world?
