Putin has TOTAL CONTROL over the US govt.

[solletica]

It's true, and here's the proof. . .

Will Exxon's 'Bromance' With The Kremlin Help Keep Putin In Check? - Forbes

For those who are have been asleep these past years, ExxonoMobil owns around 95% of Congress, and hence has ultimately authority over ALL laws, policies, sanctions, etc. put forth by Congress.

Hence, any member of Congress in that 95% that disobeys or fails to follow Tillerson's orders can be immediately removed from office and even imprisoned for insubordination.

And Putin apparently is on Tillerson's good side, to say the least. So that means that if Congress attempts to do* anything at all that Putin doesn't like, Putin can just complain to Tillerson, and Tillerson will eliminate the offending action and/or terminate the offender.

* - emphasis on the do. Putin doesn't care what any member of Congress says about him. Take a hint.

Wow, I guess I've been sleeping for the last few years and I never realized it until you made these assertions.

I think you got it backwards. EXXON has total control of Congress. That's a big surprise to you? I thought it was common knowledge. How else would the largest profit machine n the world get those billions in tax breaks? Or are you surprised that EXXON has no allegiance to the US?

True, but if ExxonMobil controls Congress, and Putin is best pals w/its leader, then transitively, Putin controls Congress, and hence, controls the US govt.

ExxonMobil's ownership of Congress is common knowledge, but the Putin-Tillerson friendship probably wasn't.

Thread should be moved to Int'l Politics. Sorry.

 

[Robbie Loucks]

I guess my school's education system has been lacking. I never learned that Exxon had control over the US Government at the proportions you're talking about here in my AP Government class.

(Hint: I know corporations will have influence on American politics, but to say that one corporation has say over every law and 95% of Congress is just...silly, to say the least.)

So finally you have realized that mega corporations are not so good for America. Let's hope it is not too late to break them up. It won't be the 1st time you know.

Some one was asleep in math class... :doh

If Exxon owns 95% of Congress and is slithering into Russia then soon Exxon will own 95% of Russia, not the other way around... Exxon won't be a puppet for Putin anymore than it is for Congress... :roll:

Thieves, greedy self serving bastards, and thugs are not FRIENDS, you confuse crocodile smiles and standing close to friendship and getting close enough to slip the knife into the other guy's back. :2wave:

The OP is nothing more than a desperate attempt to equivocate the government of the US and the governments of backwards Muslim hellholes.

It's the standard crap fed to kitchen burkas by their hairy-backed fundie husbands. They come to the dinner table; the female serves kabab, the male serves the OP. It validates Sharia law and keeps the female fearful of authorities, thereby insuring she will never seek outside assistance. Lastly, it provides "explanation" of why the US intervenes in the Mideast.

It's a wonderful little story, told to Muslim slaves around the world. And let's be honest, who but a Muslim slave would be ignorant enough, and so inclined, as to buy it. There's only one other type of person who buys that crap, unabombers.

You don't understand the difference between x and 1/x. ExxonMobil controls Congress, not the other way around.

The difference in Russia is that Tillerson cannot buy the Russian govt.--unlike the US Congress, it's not for sale, and therefore, his only hope is w/friendship w/Putin. IF he could, he'd buy out the Duma and FCR and declare himself Emperor of the World.

You got it, congrats. Just like Khamenei is the Supreme Ruler of Iran, despite Iran having a POTUS, Tillerson, Icahn, Dalio, Blankfein, Gates, etc. are the Supreme Rulers of the US.

If you took AP govt., you should've learned what a plutocracy is, and how it functions in the modern world.

Well, folks. That's a flat-out admission.

Iran has a President of the United States?

 

[solletica]

Iran has a President of the United States?

Sorry, meant that Iran has a President.

Although, it needn't be said that if Rouhani develops an equally close friendship w/Tillerson, he would rule the US as well.

 

[ecofarm]

Iran has a President of the United States?

Sure, a Kenyan Muslim Communist.

I forgot to mention that rush limbaugh is the Supreme Ruler of all conservatives (also common knowledge), but Tillerson still outranks rush.

You don't seem to understand the math. I never said Congress controls Exxon. IF EXXON controls 95% of Congress they are bad at math and business practices as 51% to 60% stock ownership gets you control, why waste money?

ALL of Russia's government is for sale/rent. That is how the corrupt leadership got there and made BILLIONs off off Russian resources! That Russian loving Ukrainian President that was ousted did just that! It is the Russian way! It is a Mafia not an representative government.

Now a smart snake knows not to try to swallow ALL the eggs in one bite but to take them one at a time. Tillerson knows he doesn't need the Duma in a gangster style government, he also knows grandstanding is for punks and tiny men wanting to be bigger than they are. He doesn't have to declare himself anything- just clear his throat from time to time and see who offers a kleenex.

ExxonMobile owns that much?
I think that's way too high. Big pharma owns a portion, so does big agriculture, certainly mining interests own a part, and doesn't the RW continuously tell us how much the unions own?

Surely the pie is more evenly divided than that.

Wait...what? The Russian govt isn't for sale? And you were so close to convincing me too.

Don't forget about Defense contracts. We spend almost a trillion dollars last year.

There is overlap in the ownership.
