        Been documented that many psychotics have flocked to them.. They are truly sick and have found an outlet to express their urges…was about a month or so ago on VICE News

    Mearsheimer is one of the best political scientists there is. If you haven’t read his book about the Israeli lobby in the US I strongly recommend you do so. It will dramatically change your views on how this country is run.
