What ethnic group does Rupert Murdoch belong to?
That’s where you lose it.
- Yes Murdoch himself pointed it out some years ago - I think it was 2012 that a particular group had more power over the media - than most people realized - eventually he was forced to retract his claim - due to obvious pressures - and to appear politically correct -
- Take a look at the Hasbara Project -
- Take a look at the Hasbara Project -
The current distribution of all trump donations:
60% - trumps *new* Save America PAC
40% - republican national committee campaign account
*Funds only go to legal expenses if the donor has already given the maximum allowable $5000 to Save America PAC and $35,500 to the RNC
$40,500 donation required before you even contribute $1 to legal fees.
Never heard of the hasbara project.
I had to look it up.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_diplomacy_of_Israel
Two excerpts:
“Public diplomacy in Israel, also known as Hasbara (Hebrew: ???????????), refers to public-relations efforts to disseminate positive information abroad about the State of Israel and its actions.[1][2]
The Israeli government and its supporters use the term to describe efforts to explain government policies and promote Israel in the face of negative press, and to counter what they see as attempts at delegitimisation of Israel. Hasbara is also a euphemism for propaganda.[3][4][5][6]”
This sounds like something that every country does at some level.
and
“ Shaping American public opinion
Israeli officials have emphasized the importance of molding American public opinion to influence U.S. foreign policy favourably toward Israel. For example, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said, “In the last 30 years, I appeared innumerable times in the American media and met thousands of American leaders. I developed a certain ability to influence public opinion." Netanyahu made this statement in the context of the Israeli government's decade-long effort to pressure for military action against Iran. He added that this "is the most important thing: the ability to sway public opinion in the United States against the regime in Iran.”[42]”
That last sentence really sums up Israel’s main intention.
Trump certainly seems on board with Israel’s intention with his animosity towards Iran. Otherwise, it sounds somewhat benign.
Getting back to controlling media, is there anyone on the planet that controls more media outlets that Rupert Murdoch and his family? What is his ethnicity?

All of us who are willing to get up and get a job. The lazy class not so much. Anyone who isnt willing to work and put forth the effort to move up the career ladder gets no sympathy from me. Thats why places like walmart and the service industry is and always has been considered entry level jobs. As a teenager in high school I worked as a busboy, fast food and a stock clerk at KMart. Now I work in industrial technology and make about 100K a year and in the midwest that is a pretty decent living. Not rich but the ability to have a good life and a 401K, which in the past the dems have had such a hard on to claim as their own and raid that piggy bank. Log legs among others in the past wanted to mandate that as substantial portion of the 401K funds of Americans were going be legally stolen and invested in the US bond market to help repay the give away money for the lazy trash. Mark my words thats going to come back up sooner than later.

That 401k comment is scary. Any links or search terms I should use to educate myself would be much appreciated.

Man all these years only to find out Gypsy Nirvana is an anti-semite.
This forum is just insane, I'm starting to think Cannabis does cause insanity and paranoia from some of the horrid things people are suggesting.
Terrible...what a waste of a once good forum, yuck!

There should be a WARNING LABEL ON THESE THREADS. If you get easily upset these threads are not recommended. Some cant handle others opinions so they lash out. The rest of the site has awesome cannabis related topics..
- Quite the contrary - I am often in awe of what they have managed to achieve throughout their long and interesting history - and there is much more to study about them - than I have managed to do so already -
- what I come up with in regards to media influence or control from the ethnic group/faith in question - is that they are what some people might consider over-represented - since they only make up just over 2% of the USA's population -
- Here is an old chart from 2013 I managed to come up with - whether its absolutely accurate or not - you would have to check every individual to confirm - there are a few names there I recognize - Rupert Murdoch - is one of them -

According to this Rueters articles it states:
"Scrolling down the page would take a donor to the fine print, which shows that donations are split between "Save America," which gets 60% of the money, and the RNC, which gets the other 40%. None of the money flows to Trump's official "recount" committee fund until Trump's Save America share reaches the legal contribution limit of $5,000, according to the disclosures.
That means that, before a dollar goes into the recount fund, Save America would receive $5,000 and the RNC around $3,300. Donations to the recount committee are legally limited to $2,800.
If a Trump donor gave $500, for instance, $300 would go to Trump's Save America PAC, $200 would to the RNC - and nothing would go to his election defense fund."
Still a grift and you're right to a certain degree but much lower than the $40,500 figure you came up with.
Still Trump is a televangelist, he just covers his greed and grifting with the American flag, division and fear instead of taking a love of God. Hes been syphoning $ from his followers for years. And just like televangelists, preaches (cons) his followers into emptjng their pockets into Trump's coffer with a fake promise of salvation.

It's estimated that 100 million people in the US or 32% have a 401k. Wages were also rising. Trump's policies stay in place if Republicans keep the Senate. If Democrats get their way and increase taxes it will hurt everyone.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2020/11/12/trump-damages-democracy-turns-profit-false-election-claims-column/6239950002/
Trump wants to make money off the fake 'stolen election' crisis he created. Don't let him.
Republican donors beware! Trump says he needs your money for legal challenges to the election, but the fine print says it won't be used that way.
I guess I could actually visit trumps site to read what it says...
I stand corrected on the amount limit and allocation.
So the first part up to $40,500 pays into a slush fund that he can use to pay off his debts or lawsuits and the second part he can use to pay off his debts and fund lawsuits and legal defense.

Just watch. As the market adjusts, your 401k will keep rising along with wages.
Trumps the loudmouth narcissist who has many convinced they can’t live without him. We’ll be taken over by monsters under the bed.
The economy as a whole almost always does better under Democrats. Everyone will be fine once the adults get back in charge.
Clinton's admin saw a surplus, bush's admin caused a recession, Obama's admin pulled us out with record stock market and job growth and Trump flushed it down the toilet.

Stocks returns are better on average with democratic presidents. Not to mention every republican president in the last 100 years has had a recession.

my word. c'mon man, get a fricken' grip
Clinton administration had a republican house and senate in his second term. they were the ones who left a surplus.
What political parties controlled the House and Senate during Bill Clinton's presidency?
Originally Answered: What political parties controlled the House and Senate during Bill Clintons Presidency?
The eight years of the Clinton Administration were divided into four Congresses, each lasting two years. The Democrats controlled the first one, and Republicans controlled the other three, though with their majority in the House diminishing with each election. The 104th Congress (the second under Clinton) was the first time Republicans controlled both houses of Congress since the 1950s.
In 1993 and 1994 (the 103rd Congress), the House of Representatives was about 60% Democratic and 40% Republican and the Senate was 57 Democrats and 43 Republicans. Congress was clearly controlled by the Democrats.
In 1995 and 1996 (104th Congress), Republicans pulled into the lead 53 to 47 in the Senate, and 54% to 46% in the House. Republicans clearly controlled Congress.
In 1997 and 1998 (105th), Republicans retained control with 55 seats in the Senate to Democrats' 45, and 52% of the House compared to Democrats' 48%.
In 1999 and 2000 (106th), Republicans retained the Senate at 55:45, and very nearly lost the House Majority, keeping 51% seats compared to the Senate's 48%. (Two Independents comprised the other 1%, and generally leaned Democrat.)
Technically, the 107th Congress served during the final weeks of the Clinton Administration from their swearing in on 3 Jan 2001 until President George W. Bush was sworn in on 20 Jan 2001. During those 17 days, the Senate was exactly split 50:50 (with Vice President Al Gore empowered to make tie-breaking votes) and Republicans had a narrow majority (51%:48% - 221:211 seats) in the House. There was some party switching in that Congress, but not until Clinton had left office. It was a volitile time.
obumnuts ...well...
U.S. stock market
Year three of Trump’s presidency saw stocks surge 25.8% versus only 4.3% for Obama’s third year as U.S. stocks ignored a hostile domestic political climate and trillion-dollar deficit. Clearly, investors voted overwhelmingly for corporate America.
For the full three-year period of Trump’s term, U.S. stocks gained a whopping 52.2% under the Trump administration. That translates to a 15.0% annual return.
but yes, bush2 left a recession, that frickin moron let Cheney and Rumsfeld burglarize the treasury of 2 trillion$$$

I'm just checking in for updates on the obvious and evil election stealing. Last time I was here, the tards we're listing examples of known voter fraud by the fistful and guaranteeing donnie would remain on his throne?
But I guess we've moved on from that?
But I guess we've moved on from that?
I keep looking, but I haven’t seen any blatant voting fraud. Seems trump’s lawyers have come to the same conclusion and have been backpedaling. Apparently, it is against the law for attorneys to knowingly file frivolous lawsuits and they can lose their license to practice.
