I dont understand how you buy the seat or buy the person etc etc or if exxon bought yukos then mobil would have seats in the Dumas. the Japanese in 1998 controlled 28% of all the US treasury bonds in the world. but they did not control the economy of the US.

You sure don't know much about the Bond Market or the world economy. THe Japanese don't control our economy? ROTFLMAO. IF the Japanese start dumping U.S. Government Debt in a big way it might have a bigger effect on the dollar, the stock market and economy than any other single factor since 1998.


Over 30% of all US businesses are foreign owned. maybe they do control the economy , who knows:

Can you spell LIKKUD?


We cant even manufacture the steel for an Abrams tank in the US because our economy has bankrupted all the big steel stamping plants and I think that this is a problem

Interesting observation. The last time I can think of that something like this happened was during WW2. Alcoa was selling Aluminum to the Germans ( via I.G. Farben, I believe this was via Sweden as to not be so obvious ) to make planes when we needed that aluminum for the same purpose. Go to a search engine and type in Alcoa farben and see what you find.


the whole point for a legislature is that it is composed of multiple competing interests. For every congressman that is bought by an Oil company there is one that fights for gay rights.

ROTFLMAO. Which Oligarch is it in Russia that is buying seats in the DUMA to protect gay rights?


I do not think that giving money to the Dumas makes it into your baby. If the entire Russian system is so weak that having an American corporation own part of their economy that they had to jail the owner of a company, like the FBI jailing Gates because his software was on too many govt computers, then Russia can not survive.

If they allow the U.S. to take control over the Oil in the Caspian Sea Russia will not survive. Thats why the Russians helped Saddam Jam our smart bomb signals. It is the reason that the Russians are going to continue to help the Iraqi's. It is also the reason that the Russians are willing to go to war with the U.S. Unfortunately the Hawks in the U.S. were to stupid to realize the significance of this. The LIKKUDniks however are VERY aware of this IMO.
