The Bibi Netanyahu and Sheldon Adelson connection

[lucas80]

Interesting little article from The Economist about how much support Sheldon Adelson (The casino mogul who would like to buy you your next president), gives to Bibi Netanyahu.
I suppose the usual suspects will blur the lines of what is acceptable in journalism, and just what men like Adelson expect for their money.

Not too hard to understand what the relationship expectations are.

It is almost as troubling as Ted Turner's influence.

You mean we don't live in a Democracy? The average citizens don't get to "elect" their leaders? Surely you jest!

Weirdly at the top of filtered treads for me. Deserves a bump after the recent decision.

It has been reported that Adelson was at the White House helping to make calls as Trump dialed around to let Jewish leaders know he was moving the US embassy to Jerusalem. Adelson supposedly jumped on the line when some leaders expressed reservations about the plan.
Foreign policy by the highest bidder doesn’t seem like swamp draining to me.
