</div> <p>The Arbitrary Hypocrisy of American “Justice”</p> <p>Paul Craig Roberts</p> <p>US Democrat Senator Bob Menendez, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee was sentenced to eleven years in prison by federal district judge Sidney Stein for acting as an illegal agent for Egypt and accepting cash and gold bars as payment.</p> <p>How does this differ from the $1,417,811 bribe that Big Pharma pays in campaign contributions to Senator Bernie Sanders or the $821,941<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>campaign contribution Big Pharma pays to Senator Elizabeth Warren?<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>If you think these sums don’t make Sanders and Warren agents of Big Pharma, you are out of your mind.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Warren is doing her Big Pharma assigned job by trying to block Robert Kennedy’s confirmation as Secretary of Health and Human Services.</p> <p>Congress is up for sale, and it is purchased with campaign contributions. Everyone in Washington knows that members are purchased by lobby groups, such as Big Pharma, the military/security complex, agribusiness, energy, the Israel Lobby, and so on.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>A corrupt or stupid Supreme Court legalized the purchase of the US government by lobby groups.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>This is the reason that Congress does not represent the people who elect Congress. You can blame your lack of representation squarely on the US Supreme Court. One can’t help but wonder if there were under the table payoffs.</p> <p>An uninformed person might answer that Menendez was paid personally, whereas campaign contributions are not personal money.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>But, in fact, retiring members are entitled to take their election war fund with them.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Those planning to retire pay attention to building up their re-election funds.</p> <p>An uninformed person might say that Menendez’s payments came from a foreign government, whereas campaign contributions are coming from American interests.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>But what about the vast sums that Israel pours into purchasing the US government?<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>What is the difference between Egypt and Israel?<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>The difference is that AIPEC is not required to register as foreign agent and is treated as an American lobby group.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>All efforts to have AIPEC register as a foreign agent have been blocked.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Many Zionist neoconservatives have gotten away with accepting money from Israel without having to register as representing a foreign agent.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Consider also that every year the Congress appropriates billions of dollars to Israel which Israel uses to purchase the US government with campaign contributions.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Our own money is used to enslave us to Israel and Jewish interests. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> You can see how complete Israel’s ownership of the US government is by Congress’ invitation to Genocide </span>Netanyahu to address the US Congress and award him 53 standing ovations while he conducts genocide against Palestine.</p> <p>Generally speaking, when a senator or representative is prosecuted by the Justice (sic) Department it means someone wants him out of the way.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>It is unclear why Menendez was in the way.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>He was essential on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in getting the sanctions on Russia in place.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>It is unclear what he could have done for Egypt that would harm any of Washington’s interests.</p> <p>The sanctimonious judge Stein said: “The public cannot be led to the belief that you can get away with bribery, fraud, and betrayal.”<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>The judge doesn’t know what he is talking about. Lobbies get away with bribing every member of the House and Senate every day.</p> <p>How can Trump make America Great Again when lobbies own the government?</p> <div class='heateorSssClear'></div><div
