Why is it important to pay attention to what they DO and not what they SAY? This is the perfect example: HR 4373, introduced by Barbara Lee, is yet another bill funding coups and funding Israeli crimes as well. The bill, which incidentally continues to use "Russian aggression" as an excuse, gives $3.3 billion to Israel unconditionally, gives money to the National Endowment For Democracy (which is a CIA front, so organizations don't have to report they are funded by the CIA), USAID, which is a regime change engine, pays Juan Guaido's salary, gives $800 million to propagandize the Middle East, and funds coup actions in Colombia/Venezuela, Syria, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Iraq, Pakistan, Nicaragua, Georgia, Yemen and Cuba. It even funds airplanes to fight the war on drugs in the Andes, which is specifically states can be used for any program in any region and has a section which purports to protect whistle blowers, which we know is farce!
And who voted for this bill? Not just "anti-war" Barbara Lee, but also Ro Khanna (whose wife invests in weapons), Ilhan Omar, Mike Thompson, Marie Newman, Betty McCollum (who actually wrote the bill trying to tie Israel aid to human rights, guess she didn't care that much), Mondaire Jones, Pramila Jayapal, Jared Huffman, Mark DeSaulnier, and Jamaal Bowman. This is money that goes to killing people. And they haven't even covered the rents yet or provided healthcare during a pandemic. This is a disgrace!
