The zero-sum nature of the revolts stems from the recalcitrance of the regimes. They are unable to reform even slightly, because their entire system is built around extraction, rather than governance. Traditionally, even a corrupt regime benefits from economic growth—there’s more to steal. But the regimes in Iraq and Lebanon have opted to rely on mainline extortion and Ponzi schemes. Even disruption and collapse that harm the population can benefit the rulers.There is only one way to drain the swamp.
Chaaaange the laws. Hire the right lawyers, the right accountants the right bankers.
Then you can watch and see that all of the elites have asss holes just like you.So much good stuff here. They keep us so busy with non-crimes that we don’t have time to chase real crimes.
Dhuuuu!
Okay!
Wake up.
You want to drain the swamp!
It was made by lawyers, accountants, and bankers.Hire, if you can, lawyers, accountants, and bankers who will get rid of all those loopholes etc.
Then you will see that those rich people are all naked.
Those rich people couldn’t find their way out of a paper bag.
Go after the hired enablers, lawyers, accountants, and bankers.I guess that there is Nobody here to read my comment. I doesn’t matter, because none of us can go after lawyers, accountants, and bankers to drain the swamp.

Russian oligarch Mikhail Abyzov built a complex network of offshore companies that were used to move a fortune out of Russia, according to a Swedbank internal draft report obtained by Swedish national public TV channel Sveriges Television (SVT) and shared with OCCRP.
Today he’s charged with defrauding the Russian government and investors of US$60 million, money laundering, and running a criminal organization.
The web of 70 offshore companies in the British Virgin Islands, Cyprus, Singapore, and Belize had accounts in Swedbank Estonia, where a client manager once responsible for monitoring the transactions helped move suspicious funds, according to the internal report.Why read fiction?

For example, one of the companies involved in the Henniges transaction was a billion dollar private investment fund called Bohai Harvest RST (BHR). BHR was formed in November of 2013 by a merger between the Chinese-government linked firm, Bohai Capital, and a company named Rosemont Seneca Partners. Rosemont Seneca was reportedly formed in 2009 by Hunter Biden, the son of then-Vice President Joe Biden, Chris Heinz, the stepson of former Secretary of State John Kerry, and others.You did a good summary.
One more extra point that need to be looked at.
The witnesses are all been lawyered up and all include a non contestable phrase ” …. inappropriate for a foreign gov be asked …. “to investigate political opponent”
Removing that section would mean that all the witness are giving unsubstantiated opinions
I still think that Biden had better accountant and better lawyers than the justice dept.The people who moved the money know what happened.

The official ruling on Epstein’s death was suicide, although skeptics have suggested that Epstein’s sudden death was all too convenient as it also buried the toxic secrets of countless implicated “luminaries” and Wall Street and Beltway VIPs across all sectors of US life.At the end of October, prominent forensic expert Michael Baden refuted the official narrative, stating at the end of October that Epstein was “strangulated.”

Alberta Premier Kenney challenges Legault on equalization payments
Kenney said if Quebec and other provinces want to keep benefitting from those payments they should stop obstructing pipelines that carry Alberta oil.
Presse Canadienne Updated: August 19, 2019The response was sparked by Legault saying on Sunday that Quebec had a right to equalization payments — funding co-ordinated by the federal government to ensure the same level of services across the country — and possessed that right since the founding of Canada in 1867.
However, Kenney pointed out on his Facebook page that Legault was unaware of the history of equalization payments, reminding the Quebec premier that the system was established not in 1867 but 1957 and written into the Constitution of 1982, which has yet to be ratified by Quebec.
The Alberta premier added that his province had paid out $620 billion to other provinces since 1957, and if Quebec and other provinces want to continue to benefit from those payments they should stop obstructing pipelines that carry Alberta oil.
Quebec received $13.1 billion in equalization payments from Ottawa in 2019, a sum that represents 11 per cent of its revenues.Re.: Ukraine military aid
Follow the money.
(Simply put. lawyers and accountants set up a system to make sure that there is no proof of wrong doing)1. USA gov. prints money.
2. Money is used to pays companies for military aid before shipment
3. Ukraine gov. gets inflated invoice for the military aid, which includes ALL the rake by all the participants.
4. USA will forgive invoice/loan if Ukraine does “quid pro quo” re.: Russia
5. If Ukraine doesn’t do the requested “Quid pro quo” then the loan is not forgiven and the Ukraine people will get taxed to pay the loan.
6. Irregardless, the USA people must pay back the printing press + all the rakeSame old same old

By Max Blumenthal and Ben NortonBolivia’s extreme right-wing opposition had overthrown leftist President Evo Morales that day, following demands by the country’s military leadership that he step down.
Virtually unknown outside his country, where he had never won a democratic election, Camacho stepped into the void. He is a rich and powerful multi-millionaire named in the Panama Papers, and an ultra-conservative Christian fundamentalist groomed by a fascist paramilitary notorious for its racist violence, with a base in Bolivia’s wealthy separatist region of Santa Cruz.
Camacho also hails from a family of corporate elites who have long profited from Bolivia’s plentiful natural gas reserves. And his family lost part of its wealth when Morales nationalized the nation’s resources, in order to fund his vast social programs — which cut poverty by 42 percent and extreme poverty by 60 percent.What to do when food gets short …..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voting_rights_in_the_United_States
The issue of voting rights in the United States, specifically the enfranchisement and disenfranchisement of different groups, has been contested throughout United States history.
Eligibility to vote in the United States is established both through the United States Constitution and by state law. Several constitutional amendments (the 15th, 19th, and 26th specifically) require that voting rights of U.S. citizens cannot be abridged on account of race, color, previous condition of servitude, sex, or age for those above 18; the constitution as originally written did not establish any such rights during 1787–1870, except that if a state permitted a person to vote for the “most numerous branch” of its state legislature, it was required to permit that person to vote in elections for members of the United States House of Representatives.[1] In the absence of a specific federal law or constitutional provision, each state is given considerable discretion to establish qualifications for suffrage and candidacy within its own respective jurisdiction; in addition, states and lower level jurisdictions establish election systems, such as at-large or single member district elections for county councils or school boards. Beyond qualifications for suffrage, rules and regulations concerning voting (such as the poll tax) have been contested since the advent of Jim Crow laws and related provisions that indirectly disenfranchised racial minorities.
In the 18th-century Thirteen Colonies, suffrage was restricted to white males with the following property qualifications …..
