Rothschild conspiracy theories

A March 21st Washington Post piece by Yair Rosenberg, about the subject of Rothschild conspiracy theories (below). The piece grew out of a recent story in Washington; the story concerns a D.C. Council member who claimed that the Rothschild family had been involved in controlling the weather--and had, as a Post reporter noted in a prior story, "also contended that the Rothschilds — a European business dynasty and frequent subject of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories — control the World Bank and the federal government." The council member has apologized for his remarks.

John Brennan's tweet, about President Trump

Former CIA Director John Brennan's tweet, directed at Mr. Trump: "When the full extent of your venality, moral turpitude, and political corruption becomes known, you will take your rightful place as a disgraced demagogue in the dustbin of history. You may scapegoat Andy McCabe, but you will not destroy America...America will triumph over you."
