You mention the money of Richardsons and other rich, right wing activists in America. However, there is one rich person, fully behind the neocons, that you make no mention of. He is worth perhaps over 100 billion dollars, by some estimates even 200 billion dollars in today’s money. He is richer than Bill Gates, and that Oracle guy and King of Saudi Arabia put together, but hardly a word about him out of you or anyone else in the media. He is one of the first people, outside of the circle of New York mayor’s office and firefighters and police, who was interviewed on American television, in which he advocated bombing Tehran because as he would naturally have it, “Iran is the eye of the octopus”. He is the most steadfast supported of the neocon cause in America, so much so, that the sentences and the words that neocon commentators are using has become indistinguishable from the articles that the monarchists of Iran produce, and have been producing long before the neocons became the media force that they are today. He is of course Reza Pahlavi the son of the last Shah of Iran, and heir to his wealth which was stolen from the people of Iran, much to the pleasure of the American government at the time. He has declared himself stateless in an American court and enjoys a tax-free, probe-free, existence in America. As an Iranian, I would be very much interested in knowing what that 100 billion dollars is doing right now. I think you ,as an American, have a very big interest in that particular behemoth as well.

As you correctly point out, America is turning, or has turned into a big casino. It is not a democracy anymore. The tools that democracy provides to the average citizen have all been hijacked, or so to say repurposed or even the whole mechanism has been retooled to advance the interests of only the big betters (i.e. those who bet big! :) ). Ironically what you do here, namely using the freedom to report on them, is used by them to advance their bets even more vigorously. But that is no longer the news, anyway.
