A political party in Tamil Nadu #India promised brides 8gms 22-Karat gold and a silk saree. It also promised an AI ministry, AI university, and AI city. And a whole lot more.

That party is creaming all others in the ongoing #elections.

Apparently #bribes work.

The #corruption of the #TrumpRegime comes so thick & fast that we tend to forget older #bribes & illegal actions.

Next time you're buying groceries and can't believe how expensive it is, remember that congressional Republicans get $75 each day for food on top of their $175,000 salary, plus a large expense account and all the bribes they can carry.

Video from the intervention by members of the greek anarchist group Rouvikonas (Rubicon in greek), in the office of Didagellos Pavlos, a public healthcare doctor who takes bribes from cancer patients in order to enlist them to treatment. This is not only illegal by greek law, but as many can testify it's common practice from corrupt doctors working in public healthcar. This doctor claims tohave no idea of it. Meanwhile his cancer patient has made their complaint as many others do, in vain since greek authorities won't pursue these claims, but on the contrary the government has legalized public healthcare doctors working on hospitals as private doctors, facilitating corruption and promoting the bribes custom from people in need of urgent treatment.

#Oil CEOs' #bribes🚨to #Trump are paying off. But the biggest benefactor, is his BFF & fellow war criminal, #Putin. And #Iran has reaped $Billions more from oil profits.

Trump’s bombing campaign against #Iran🚨is yielding a windfall for some of America’s top oil execs. Chevron CEO Wirth sold $104M worth of shares: Jan-Mar. ConocoPhillips’s Lance netted ~$54.3M in share sales in Mar. Baker-Hughes CEO Simonelli sold ~$33M...

The dominant parties (by MPs) have no wish to reform party or campaign funding and will take an easy pound no mater where it comes from (provided of course that we the public do not know). So no chance
