Sarah Palin's PAC Paid Thousands To Mysterious Company Run By Unlikely Foreign Political Operative

Sarah Palin Research Firm

Mother Jones:

In recent months, Sarah Palin's political action committee, SarahPAC, has paid thousands of dollars to a mysterious company that's gone to significant lengths to mask its ownership. Addresses linked to the firm lead to mail drops. It has no website. No phone number. Not even the California lawyer who incorporated the company knew who was behind it. But a Mother Jones investigation has found that this firm is run by an unlikely foreign political operative.

I looked at the image and wondered, didn't I see that jacket in the TV show "V," the movie "Soylent Green" or, was it "Fahrenheit 451?"

We know you won't post the comments, when we tell the truth about Palin, she's out there committing all kinds of crimes and the MEDIA just cover it up, we guess when you are White you can go out and commit Murder and it's OK, Now this woman is committing Treason and you people think it's OK that she attack the President and his wife and let a Foreign Journalist Advise her to criticize our Federal Reserve and President, when we know she is Anti-American and AIP, but when she said back in 2008 and still at this time calling him a Terrorist, when it is to distract her Activities of being a Radical Extremist and the People she is Paling around with, let see if Howard Fineman, write about this, since he have been the man one calling the President name a (Bird of Prey). This is what he do on Chris Matthew and he never say President Obama. It would kill you People to give the President any Credit even when he Make things safe. This is a sad day in America.

We are Amaze that HP took it of the Front page, but yet they left her Book Tour on the Front Page, what happen to Fair NEWS and Reporting. We are sick of the MEDIA Cowing down, anytime we comment the truth about Palin you Flag. Now this Crap about Palin and the Dutch Journalist and other from a Foreign Country, in which we call treason when she is attacking our Federal Reserve and our President by the Advice of a Foreign Journalist and others of a foreign Country, and you people take the Story and Bury in the Back hoping no one Read it.

If this would have come from the Obama Administration you people would be all over it, unless you're connected, 24, 24. What we see is a disgrace in America, no matter what President Obama do, you people will find a way to discredit him. Like last week the US and Kazakhstan made the most Brilliant move to make this Country and other Countries Safe, Did HP make this a Headline Hell NO, Because it wasn't Palin or some Republican or Bill Clinton, it was just this Black President who Probably worked Night and Day to make it Safe for this Country Sorry behinds, you people are trying to Force Hillary to debate a sitting President, how Animalism that is and Disrespectful? We have foreigns coming to this country being teated better then our own American Born President, all because of Hate how sick?

A true American helping Americans get to work -- the rich American way by off-shoring it. Even politics.

And so the fiasco begins. How many people will know that a foreigner is advising her and if so, will they care?

Why is it that anyone looking into American politics from the outside can see what is happening here? Why can the Americans - rich and poor - not realize what is going on? It is right in front of them. The Republicans are throwing red herrings in front of American citizens every day and Americans cannot see it for what it is. They are being forced to deal with the red herrings - get all worked up over this thing or the next when they cannot see that all the while, Republicans are positioning themselves for something else.

Whenever the GOP are expounding on an issue, ask yourself, ok - what are they working on behind this issue? What is sliding in the back door? Damn, it is so obvious to people watching this from other countries and Americans emotions are at the forefront. You cannot let this happen. Stop with the emotion and start with the intelligence and the reasoning. That is the only thing that is going to save your country from the takeover of the Religious Right.

Step back and look at what they are doing. Ask yourselves, why are they throwing this issue in now and look behind them. They have an agenda, do not lose that aspect of their propaganda with the drivel they put up front through their media moguls.

You all them the "Religious Right" and I guess they are - only to the extent that they use religion to appeal to the truly religious, many who have no idea what the people they are supporting really think of them. What they want from the voters are their VOTES; the welfare of the people are of no concern at all to these hypocrits. Do you wonder what is the real goal of the powerful money interests who support Palin and her ilk? Scary.

He is brand new, so I have to wonder if he isn't either a Zogby or RNC plant, seeing how the recent Gallup poll is the polar opposite of this one, and seeing how the media rarely pays any attention to anything that comes from Zogby.  He posts this comment and then disappears and never answers any replies.

Things like this proves that Palin doesn't care about America...she is only interested in filling her pockets and getting power (even if that means selling us out).
