THE PREDATORY CLINTONS' ABILITY TO GET RICH EXPLOITING
NATIONAL DISASTERS IS LEGENDARY and they do it w/ our tax dollars.

Haiti, Malta, the Clintons and Digicel

EXCERPT Free Beacon May 2015--- The Clintons have been working with Digicel CEO Denis O’Brien in Haiti since 2010, in the wake of the disastrous earthquake. Bill Clinton and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had been active players in the country before the quake, but would assume almost total managerial control over the recovery effort via the State Department and the Clinton Foundation.

As Peter Schweizer documents in his book, "Clinton Cash," Digicel received millions in U.S. tax dollars from USAID, an agency overseen by the State Department, as part of the Haiti Mobile Money Initiative. The program was designed to establish a mobile money-transfer system that would allow individuals to send donations directly to friends and relatives in Haiti.

The State Department's "USAID Food for Peace" program, which was under the direct control of Hillary Clinton’s top aide Cheryl Mills, benefited Digicel.....to administer money transfers over its mobile network. Haitians received cell phones and a free Digicel account.

Digicel received grants courtesy of U.S. taxpayers, and collected millions in fees from Haitians every time they used the system, and significantly expanded its user base.

By 2012, Digicel had captured nearly 80 percent of the Haitian mobile phone market, and Haiti had surpassed Jamaica as the company’s most profitable market. Revenues were up 14 percent compared to 2011, and Digicel’s subscriber base increased by almost 30 percent during that period.

Clinton crony O’Brien holds a 94 percent stake in the privately owned firm. Digicel continued to rake in cash. In 2014 alone, O’Brien awarded himself $650 million worth of dividends.

How about the $100,000,000 of taxpayers’ money given to the “nobama foundation” to help educate females in morocco??? Those illegitimate bums should be in prison.
