I see a number of the donations are from Trusts. I would consider they arent 'personal donations' and should be considered along side companies. After all a Union isnt a 'company' either but an Incorporated Society
Congress passed laws preventing that https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/nov/10/senate-defense-budget-bill-bans-transfer-guantanamo-bay-prisoners-to-us Did you think the Presidency was more powerful than congress ? I think the first thing the Majority...

I drive a lot less than an average of 11,000km a year. Thats the point of an average though. Yes another lighter vehicle category would be good , but arent full electric cars heavier

More mythology. of course Zionism was invented , like Marxism or even Christian Scientists in that era. Just re-inventing an historical timeline is a classic artificial construct to give legitimacy. Remember the ideology that created a timeline to some ...
