I don't think they were the ones trying to break the agreement.
As I understand it, the reason they were threatening to not release hostages was because they considered Israel to have already broken it, and they were responding to that issue.
Not sure the full details.

Paid to Lie

Did any of you ever notice that when different western news media in different countries discussed a particular topic, lets say Russia or Trump for example, they all seemed to be reading from the same script and in lock step?

Like for example

Russia is going to invade Western Europe

They were all being paid to lie by USAID.

The people telling the truth were always quickly labelled as

'spreading Russian propaganda' - as the lies must be reinforced.

They said 'Trump is a danger to democracy'
But only because Trump was to dismantle their world of lies.

Dear mhaze,

.

I wrote : « "But you must prove your claim (that “the subscriptions represented corruption on a grand scale … including Treasury”) … »

And you ask : « Why ? »
.

Because that’s a very grave accusation that you should not make without proof – or, at least, good solid facts to back it up.

You obviously don’t. All you have done so far is insinuate that there has been foul play.

The fact is neither you nor I nor even Trump and his brilliant young geeks can prove it. They have not made the slightest effort to investigate it, and probably never will. Even if they did, it’s extremely difficult to prove. The best they could do was to insinuate it – which you not only relayed but even amplified as “corruption on a grand scale”.

Insinuation is not proof, mhaze – whether it be on this OLO Forum or elsewhere – and, in addition, there is a very real risk that such grave accusations could end up one day in a court of law.

All we know right now is that various US government entities paid huge sums of money to a company called Politico Pro – which is not the Politico news and opinion website based in Virginia, USA that we are familiar with.

Politico Pro is a subscription-based service for professionals, such as lobbyists analysts, and others which provides policy intelligence coverage on technology, energy, and other sectors.

Since it was launched in 2010, many departments of US government entities have outsourced work to Politico Pro. It is impossible to determine whether the payments respected the US Bona Fide Need Rule (31 USC, Section 1502) and were justified or not. That would require a thorough investigation by a team of auditors and experts in the domains concerned.

There is no suggestion, and most unlikely, that the Trump administration intends to do that.

« The 'independent' media is [not] trying desperately to find some way of denying it » as you pretend, mhaze.

It's a vast operation of Trump propaganda.

.

"It's a vast operation of Trump propaganda."

I think you need to prove that beyond reasonable doubt.

.

That's just the way I interpret it, mhaze.

I submit the show in Trump's office in the White House with Elon Musk and his son the X Factor as evidence.

Enjoy your weekend,

"That's just the way I interpret it, mhaze."

Oh its your opinion?

See how that works?
