  7. #ICYMI #DJT administration eased enforcement of #law banning US firms from #bribing foreigners into biz deals.

    Basically #Drumpf has lifted enforcement of the Foreign #Corrupt Practices Act because not cheating hurts his idea of #MAGA competitiveness...

  8. #USA #Politics #Elections #Musk #Bribing #SwingStates: "“Elon Musk says on stage at a town hall that America PAC will be awarding $1 million every day until the election to a registered Pennsylvania voter who has signed his petition. Musk awarded the first $1 million this evening to someone at the town hall, bringing the guy onto the stage and handing him a jumbo check, lotto-style. Musk is essentially incentivizing likely Trump voters in PA to register to vote: Petition is to support for 1A and 2A, so basically R voters. But they also have to be registered to vote, so if they weren’t already, they would do it now.”

    Though maybe some of the other things Musk was doing were of murky legality, this one is clearly illegal. See 52 U.S.C. 10307(c): “Whoever knowingly or willfully gives false information as to his name, address or period of residence in the voting district for the purpose of establishing his eligibility to register or vote, or conspires with another individual for the purpose of encouraging his false registration to vote or illegal voting, or pays or offers to pay or accepts payment either for registration to vote or for voting shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than five years, or both…” (Emphasis added.)"

    (Climate) protesting is becoming more difficult every day.
    Never mind freedom of speech or cumbersome things like that...

    By PROTECTING 🥵 #BigOil from those pesky protesters.
    In the way they're used to do it effectively: by #Bribing politics.

    "60% of US Oil and Gas Infrastructure Now Protected by Anti-Protest Laws: Greenpeace"
    Quote:
    Fossil fuel companies have contributed millions of dollars to legislators who sponsored such laws, according to a new report.

    More qoutes:
    "The oil, gas, and coal industry has financed the spread of these laws: Nine of the top 10 lobbyists for these bills from 2017 to 2023 were Marathon, ExxonMobil, Enbridge, TC Energy, Koch Industries, Chevron, Energy Transfer, Williams Companies, and Valero. In addition, 25 fossil fuel companies gave $5 billion to lawmakers pushing these laws, with the top five donors being Duke Energy, Dominion Energy, Marathon Petroleum, BNSF Railway Co., and Koch Industries."
    "Pushing anti-protest laws isn't the only way that the fossil fuel industry has tried to stifle protest. It also relies on a tactic known as strategic lawsuits against public participation (SLAPP). Almost three-quarters of the 116 SLAPP lawsuits filed since 2010 came from companies that also supported anti-protest laws, among them Energy Transfer, ExxonMobil, Murray Energy Corporation, Chevron, and TransCanada."

  10. US politicians are less likely to vote for something if they haven’t been bribed. No, sorry, not bribed. The other one, the legal one… LOBBIED! Less like to vote for something if they haven’t been lobbied.

  12. "I trust the #Australian #government to protect me from #scams."

    You know that;
    - #Medibank still goes through #Amazon?,
    - Australia's federal police (afp.gov.au) goes through #CloudFlare?,
    - according to govt, "#FacebookReFriendedAustralia" by openly #bribing our media?,
    - Social services (humanservices.gov.au) goes through #Akamai?
    - Govt multiplied the #moneySupply by approx six times during #covid, mostly benefitting the most wealthy?

    Lol

    5/9

    The rejection of the thuggish autocrat and abusive PM #JohnHoward, could be felt in your core. Howard would divert attention from important things by pointing at #refugees on #boats, and #bribing people to #procreate. An awful man. We elected #KevinRudd who was visibly preparing to turn things around.

    Amidst a #GFC, Kevin was great on #environment, reducing our electricity use by 30% by starting an #insulationScheme. (5/9)

    It is impossible for me to become president of #US without #gerrymandering & other #voterSuppression measures to get enough votes in #ElectoralCollege, popular vote be damned

    It is impossible for me to win without falsely alleging #ElectionFraud, filing frivolous #lawsuits, #bribing & #threatening state #legislatures & #judiciaries, filing #fakeElectors, & throwing my #VP to #insurrectionist wolves in #ProudBoys & #OathKeepers.

    Therefore, I should be allowed to run again
