The Golden Rule- he who has the gold rules

It is more fun criticizing

Rizal  Philippines   I  August 25, 2014

There was an interview yesterday amongst scholars at Middle East as to why there is now closer cooperation between Egypt and Israel.  One theory put forward is Egypt's dependence on US aid especially on military hardware.  Thus Egypt's official has to be in good relations with US and of course Israel who has many allies in the US Congress. If Egypt and and Israel would again go to war, the aid to Egypt would dry up.  Hence, Egypt is brokering the Hamas Israel peace talks.

Let us observe also the activists in the Philippine Congress (the left leaning party lists).  In the beginning they are very idealistic and angry.  But later on they become pro administration.  Why?  If they dont they do not get any appropiated funds from DBM.  If they do get, they are very much delayed.  Thus, the Golden Rule applies always.  HE WHO HAS THE GOLD (purse strings) RULES
