Does the legislation need to specifically mention Israel, Russia, Saudi Arabia, the US or any other political revenue streams? They have all been cut now so are no longer an issue.
I think I lost my faith in justice being served after the Panama papers. Every major reveal since then has just confirmed my belief that the whole idea of fairness or justice, even in "good" countries, is nothing but a myth.
The reveals are what they tried to hide. I take the reveals or charges as signs my work is useful. The more we show how corrupt some are the closer we get to seeing how outnumbered the corrupt are.
Plenty of people went to prison over that and billions of dollars was recovered. Not nearly enough but it's not like no justice was served in that scenario.
Because remember in 2015 It was headline news across the world A global conspiracy by the financial elite to hide trillions of dollars in unreachable, illegal bank accounts in Panama And what happened there? Oh yeah The journalist who broke the story was assassinated in broad daylight with a fucking car bomb And the story just disappeared
And I am standing here In the supermarket Wondering whether I can forgive myself for buying a pack of stock cubes That has fucking palm oil in it Fucking God dammit man

It is easier to remember how many didn't accept money. This is thankfully not all of them but still this is horrifying - https://www.rejectaipac.org/rejecters
Less than 100 out of 435 congress did not accept. Senate is currently only about 25 recipients but that will undoubtedly worsen with the next election cycle.

So what exactly is going on? Are western countries sending big bucks to Israel and that money is then in turn used to buy western politicians?
Bundalicious
They obviously dont consider Israel as "foreign"

Independent inquiry needed into the interests of the people on the first inquiry. Sorted.

I'd be curious how much $$ is being given by China... India... or big-pharma ?
I'd be even more curious to know why they are fighting so hard to hide the Epstein list!

Okay, but I read the report and it doesn't mention many countries at all.

Like, there might still be an issue, but the report is relatively neutral on what other countries are doing the influencing: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-rycroft-review-report-of-the-independent-review-into-countering-foreign-financial-influence-and-interference-in-uk-politics/the-rycroft-review-report-of-the-independent-review-into-countering-foreign-financial-influence-and-interference-in-uk-politics#summary-of-recommendations

The rich and powerful look after the system to serve themselves.
StarmineRendezvous
The rich have taken over the leadership of most countries, and even the 'good countries' refuse to take action to resist or remove them.

We legit need a global revolution to execute the ruling class across the planet at this point or we'll never be free.

Who was it that said, "there is no justice in a world where the laws are made by criminals" ?

My first guess was a black panther, or maybe Nelson Mandela, or Zapata, or someone in 1970’s Brazil (I recently watched the misleading titled but excellent movie “The Secret Agent”) but it seems like many quotes with no remembered person it’s just made-up by someone who isn’t a celebrity https://thehypothyroidismchick.com/2025/10/05/youll-never-find-justice-in-a-world-where-criminals-make-the-rules-did-bob-marley-really-say-that/

Crooks aren't going to hold themselves accountable. We must force accountability upon them.

The only way is violence, because they make the rule so there is no violence against them legally, so violence must be forced on them.

And that should be treason to take money from a foreign government. All of these Israel lobbyist deserve the noose
