12. "Conflict of Interest" seems to be washed away in the Public's Mind
Mon Jun 9, 2014, 09:28 AM
Jun 2014

after decades of abuse and lack of prosecution that I wonder that it isn't just the "New Normal," that people are so accepting that it's "just business as usual."

Even the RW won't touch this because they are in on it with John McCain's appearance in Ukraine followed by Nuland and then father Biden making his address there just before his son got on the Board and then our own President goes to speak with the newly "elected" head of Ukraine showing support.

That they are so "in your face" with their interests in Ukraine seems to say this will go down the memory hole since "they all do it." Better to blame vilify Putin and start Cold War II to get the public whipped up that the Russian's want an Empire and are a threat to USA's interests. After all the public doesn't get into "details" about international relations. It's just too complicated and if both parties favor a policy...what's to complain about.

Once Again....it's about Oil and Gas interests stirring up unrest and creating revolutions. With Monsanto, DuPont sure to follow.
