The Clinton Foundation left a toxic legacy in Colombia

Hillary Clinton has long said she is “very proud” of the Clinton Foundation’s work, but many of its beneficiaries in Colombia wonder why.

Since Bill Clinton established the foundation in the late 1990s, with help over the years from Hillary and daughter Chelsea, the nonprofit “global philanthropic empire” has raised roughly $2 billion from foreign governments and various wealthy donors to tackle global development and health problems. While intense media scrutiny has focused on the foundation’s donations and its use of that money – partly because of the wealth of available information on its vast financial intake – little sustained attention has been dedicated to its accomplishments on the ground.

“They are doing nothing for workers,” one Colombian union official told us, with disgust. “I don’t even know what they are doing in this country other than exploiting poverty and extracting money.”

This has long been the elephant in the room that the Democrats do not want exposed. If Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation have spent decades making the lives of countless people, especially women and children, so much better, WHERE are the success stories? Why weren’t there dozens of people lining up to speak at the convention and why aren’t any stories on the national media interviewing all the people she has helped? The answer is simple - and simply devastating - there aren’t any regular people whose lives and families have been helped by Hillary Clinton because she is now as she has always been...an utterly self-serving, dishonest, manipulative evil woman, who uses anyone she can and destroys anyone who gets in her way. THAT is the story that the media doesn’t want to ask about because they already know the answer but she is a “Progressive” who supports the wholesale slaughter of children, which is, sadly, the altar at which most of them worship as well.

Do I sound angry and frustrated? Yes! But, do I know that God is still in control and will allow us to fall just far enough to recognize our need for Him, above ALL else! Absolutely YES!

“I don’t even know what they are doing in this country other than exploiting poverty and extracting money.”

Well, we know that there is a lot of poverty in Columbia and we also know that money in great quantity needs to be laundered. We know that vast amounts of money is sourced through the drug trade. What may not be known by many people here is that the major hub of private (secret) airplane traffic out of Columbia used Arkansas as a relatively sanctuary in the distribution of drugs in this country and that the governor of Arkansas during an important point in the expansion of the drug trade was none other than William Jefferson Clinton. It all comes together through the Clinton Foundation. AND there is a good chance that Hillary will be "elected" by the same DNC cartel that plagued us for the last 8 years. The thought of the Clinton machine having access to the U.S. Treasury is absolutely horrifying.
