LOD: Oiling Your Demise

The Nation magazine has the definitive article about the impact of Citizens United on US elections – including the gusher flow of Middle East oil money through trade groups green-lighted by the Supreme Court’s political decision. The article is by Lee Fang, the writer who broke the story about the cabal of millionaires recruited to luxury summits by the Koch brothers for brainwashing and lessons in money laundering. Fang’s exposé in The Nation is a must read to understand how Citizens United is inviting foreign agents, ambitious corporate executives, and eager front groups to manipulate elections, extort legislative favors, and completely corrupt US politics.
