90. This systematic system of bribery is just like H. Truman's China Lobby
Back in the late forties and early fifties President Truman used to complain about the "China Lobby." The China Lobby (Taiwan) bribed everybody. They bribed thousands of media people, every single year. The bribes were called 'grants' and other pleasant-sounding names. They would bribe anyone who wrote, broadcast, taught, or promoted anything that would favor Taiwan's side of the news.

This mass-bribery is still going on, but in addition to the pioneering bribery-breakthroughs of Taiwan, it is also now being practiced by many other groups, including Israelies, Saudis, and the Neo-cons.
