The Vaad owns the politicians by hijacking the votes, The politicians own the VAAD members & their co-horts.

Every VAAD endorsed candidate is money taken from you, and given to the VAAD co-horts.

“It’s an attitude of self-righteousness that says;

                                We are so pure, we’re so morally superior,
we cannot bear to hear an idea with which we disagree,”

When people complained to the Rosh yeshiva Rav Malkiel about the vaad he said, make your own independent Vaad, where VAAD members can not abuse their power and threaten shuls from being built or throwing kids out of school.
