If anyone questions the cost of the Trump Wall, they need to be reminded of this total waste of UN welfare money going to third world thugs and dictators.

If there is one person left in that corrupt pit of vipers it’s one too many.

What would Obama actually have to do to go to jail?

Obama threw around taxpayer funds to his friends and favorite causes. Maybe he’ll get paid later. It’s the shareware form of influence peddling.

I think you're on to something. The Boobamba Foundation is set to make the Clinton Foundation look like small-timer fraud. Hope Trump finds a way to squelch Boobama's corruption as it goes State-less.

AND THIS

Obama pledges $7 billion to upgrade power in Africa
CNN ^ | Updated 0044 GMT (0844 HKT) July 1, 2013 | By Faith Karimi and Matt Smith, CNN / FR Posted by vannrox

U.S. President Barack Obama pledged $7 billion Sunday to help combat frequent power blackouts in sub-Saharan Africa.

Funds from the initiative, dubbed Power Africa, will be distributed over the next five years. Obama made the announcement during his trip to South Africa, the continent's biggest economy.

"Access to electricity is fundamental to opportunity in this age. It's the light that children study by, the energy that allows an idea to be transformed into a real business. It's the lifeline for families to meet their most basic needs, and it's the connection that's needed to plug Africa into the grid of the global economy," he said.

Two-thirds of the population of sub-Saharan Africa lacks access to electricity, including more than 85% of those living in rural areas, the White House said. "A light where currently there is darkness -- the energy to lift people out of poverty -- that's what opportunity looks like," Obama told students at Cape Town University.

"So this is America's vision: a partnership with Africa for growth, and the potential for every citizen, not just a few at the top."

PIC President Barack Obama kicks around an energy-generating soccer ball at a power plant in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, on Tuesday, July 2.

Obama was pushing for partnerships in energy as he concluded a three-nation trip to Africa. Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete, third from right, joined Obama at the Symbion Power Plant at Ubungo.

Obamas invoke Mandela's legacy: The program includes $1.5 billion from the U.S. Overseas Private Investment Corporation and $5 billion from the Export-Import Bank, the White House said. Sub-Saharan Africa will need more than $300 billion to achieve universal electricity access by 2030, it said.

The preliminary setup will include Ethiopia, Kenya, Liberia, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda and Mozambique. -- SNIP -- (Excerpt) Read more at edition.cnn.com ...

Cheryl Mills should be waterboarded and forced to tell how much money Obama and the Clintons stole from the State ept.

BACKSTORY--Hillary and the Clinton cronies are all lined up to cash in on this humongous foreign aid boondoggle......and, of course, Obama gets his cut.

CLINTON CRONIES BOARD THE GRAVY TRAIN --Longtime Clinton crony and Secy Hill's top aide Cheryl Mills' side business, "BlackIvy Investments," is developing a privately-financed dry port that will be located 56 k outside of the Port of Dar es Salaam.

On its face that is laughable IF Mills wasnt connected to the conniving Clintons.

So how did Cheryl Mills, a govt employee, sitting in the State Dept, with no discernible track record of building ports, manage to become an overnight player in the East African energy market?

It turns out Mills had some help from a company called Symbion Power, which was created to profit off rebuilding efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan after the US invasions. Symbion Power happens to be a very good friend of Hillary Clinton.

---------------------------------------------

Hillary's pal, Sid Blumenthal, was the conniving Clintons' bagman---a $325,000 employee of the Clinton Foundation, he had numerous paid side interests----promoting any number of foreign deals and schemes in which he had a financial interest.....many of which were predicated on the toppling of Libya's Khadaffi.

Blumenthal was ambidextrous---chronically emailing Hillary Libya foreign policy messages w/ one hand....his other hand firmly in the State Dept cookie jar.

In one confidential e-mail to Clinton, Blumenthal was clearly colluding w/ onetime Amb Joe Wilson (Valerie Plame's hubby) to help himself to the tax dollars in the State Dept cookie jar.

Amb Wilson pumped himself up as a 'director' of Symbion Power---an outfit seeking millions of dollars in contracts from an obscure government agency chaired by Hillary....the Millennium Challenge Corp. (MCC)

In September 2010, Hillary's MCC awarded Symbion $47 million tax dollars for (cough) 'power projects in Tanzania.'

EVER WONDER how much of the $47 million tax dollars got to Tanzania....after the players divvied it up among Blumenthal, Wilson, the Clintons, Obama?

==============================================

LOOTING AND PILLAGING NEVER STOPS Millenium is also the source of the 100 million tax dollars Michele gave to Morocco "to teach Muslim girls" to be held by, and "administered" by the Obama Foundation.

DO THIS NOW: demand Congress open the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) books ASAP. We demand to know the financial details and the scope and dimension of individuals connected to these outrageous State Dept giveaways.........govt parasites profiting at taxayers' expense.

Such an innocent use of money -- give children in sub-Saharan Africa light and power.

Sounds great. Just like save the planet from global warming.

It's the perfect front for fraud. Thanks for the intelligence, Liz. To see the fraud being promoted first hand, visit obama.org.

In its last year in office, the Obama Administration showered at least some $9.2 billion on the United Nations and its sprawling array of organizations.

The total is gleaned from a document that summarizes U.S. government spending for international organizations, and is about 20 per cent higher than the $7.7 billion figure given out by State for 2010, before the Obama Administration abruptly quit providing any overall tally for its U.N. support.

The new tally includes nearly $360 million for the controversial United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, or UNRWA, which is regularly accused of inculcating violent anti-Israel attitudes and even abetting terrorist attacks on Israel, which it strongly denies.
