[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]THIS is why we need campaign finance reform.[/quote]

We need to make Israel abide by FARA. In fact, we need to take all foreign money out of politicians' pockets. That includes MNC that are heavily invested in overseas infrastructure or arms. Then we need to ban large donations and PAC.[/quote]

Wasn't there a president who tried to make the Israeli lobby register under FARA? I'm sure it's completely unrelated to CIA mossad double agent James Angelton[/quote]

You mean the guy who was taken out 62 years ago and the circumstances around his murder are still discussed to this day? Whose assassination was unfortunately recorded for posterity by a local clothes manufacturer to the dismay of those involved in a cover-up?

The AZC is the the same organization as AIPAC (name change in 1959).

The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), enacted in 1938 to combat Nazi propaganda, has played a pivotal role in regulating foreign influence in U.S. politics. The Kennedy administration's rigorous enforcement of FARA in the early 1960s marked a significant chapter in its history, particularly through its actions against the American Zionist Council (AZC). This enforcement, aimed at ensuring transparency and accountability, introduced an ironic twist as it targeted both Nazi propagandists and the AZC, an organization supporting the newly established state of Israel. The dissolution of the AZC and the emergence of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) highlighted the complexities and ethical dilemmas inherent in FARA enforcement. This paper explores the historical context, legal challenges, and enduring relevance of FARA enforcement from the Kennedy era to contemporary times, offering insights into the ongoing struggle to balance advocacy, transparency, and foreign influence in U.S. politics.[/quote]
