The Arrangement - The Subscription (Part2/8)

from Unusual Practice · host Charli | Breaking Illusions

Part 2 of 8. 300,000,000,000USD. That is the total US financial and military assistance to Israel since 1948, more than the entire Marshall Plan that rebuilt post-war Europe. In this episode of The Arrangement, a special 8-part series from Unusual Practice, we follow the money: AIPAC's $127 million in a single election cycle covering 80% of all congressional seats, a former US congressman on record saying votes in the House are decided not by America's national interest but by how AIPAC scores them, and the complete blackmail architecture from the 1982 Washington Post investigation through to the Epstein network.
