    ...So, I ask the question:

    what if there were a trail to Tucker Carlson?!?

    Without further ado, here is the summary of the Palmer Report:

    (1/n)

    "Fox News has , its highest rated and most profitable host, in a move so dramatic that he’s not even being allowed to do a final show. The initial presumption was that it was in response to the settlement. But if anything, after Fox had to write a check..."

    Yes, that is called #plutocracy
    (from Ancient Greek πλοῦτος (ploûtos) 'wealth', and κράτος (krátos) 'power') or plutarchy is a society that is ruled or controlled by people of great wealth or income.)

    Example: #USA @ least since the #CitizensUnitedVsFEC #SCOTUS verdict in 2010.

    Example:
    #donations to the #GOP have exploded since then.

    This does not even include #DarkMoney flows.

    Yes, I'd agree very much with your assessment. (I am presently listening to the excellent #TheEconomist #podcast, #NextYearInMoscow, and it is quite fascinating)

    #Russia and its #oligarchs constitute a #kleptocracy. And by directing #DarkMoney flows to politicians, media people, and businessmen, they have been corrupting other countries (e.g. the #US, #UK, #France, #Germany, and probably many others).

    Over the last 20 years Australian political parties have benefited from $2 billion dollars without a known source.

    Presumably the recipients know who gave it to them but they're under no obligation to tell the public.

    By the last election, #DarkMoney, had become the drug of choice for all major parties from the LNP to the Greens
