CBS: Chinese company with “close ties” to Beijing gave $2M to Clinton Foundation in 2013

How close are those ties between Rilin Enterprises and China’s Communist government? Close enough that Beijing trusted Rilin with building its US embassy, for instance, and its billionaire owner has a seat in its one-party parliament. Rilin may have wanted to invest in its future with a $2 million pledge to the Clinton Foundation in 2013, according to CBS News, immediately after Hillary Clinton left office at State:

Rilin also has a checkered history of worker treatment here in the US, as CBS notes:

Oddly enough, those charges got dismissed just as Rilin pledged $2 million to the Clinton Foundation, and started spending $1.4 million in lobbying. Go figure. It’s all just a coincidence, no doubt … a coincidence that Rilin and Beijing hope will get repeated often during a Hillary Clinton presidency.

Bill Allison of the Sunlight Foundation makes a similar point at the end. Pretending that the Clinton Foundation is separate from politics and the presidential ambitions of Hillary Clinton is simply absurd. The reason this foundation exists is to give some plausible deniability for the millions that the Clintons rake in for their speeches, and to keep key personnel like Dennis Cheng on the payroll in a way that evades FEC scrutiny. The Clintons are selling access, pure and simple, to those who can write the biggest checks.

THIS JUST IN--- Judge Gladys Kessler of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia ordered the State Department to produce passenger manifests from 47 overseas trips that Mrs. Clinton made as secretary of state. Citizens United requested the manifests last July through a Freedom of Information Act Request.

There seems to be a solid connection between:

(1) donors to the Clinton Foundation,

(2) companies receiving contracts from foreign countries, and,

(3) Clinton Foundation donors receiving favorable treatment from the State Dept.

<><> Sixty companies contributed $26 million to the Clinton Foundation.

<><> Forty four of those companies also contributed to a $3.2 billion dollar fund established at the Clinton Global Initiative (a wing of the foundation).

<><> At least 25 companies made contributions to fifteen private/public partnerships set up by ex-Pres Clinton;

And who administered all of them?.......the State Department w/ Hillary at the helm.

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

CASE IN POINT---The lucrative foreign contracts to companies that were Clinton Foundation donors were all administered by the State Department.....w/ Hillary at the helm.

<><> questions remain WRT how often CEOs and company reps traveled with Hillary;

<><> did the countries giving these companies lucrative contracts receive anything from Clinton?

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

CONNECTING THE DOTS Then-Secy Hillary gave Haiti $3.1 billion tax dollars from the tax-subsidized Foundation for Earthquake Relief.

This was followed by Hillary’s brother getting a rare gold mining permit; the last permit Haiti issued was over fifty years before.

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

POINTS TO PONDER:

<><> As Secretary of State, Hillary devoted much of her time in 2010 to the Haiti recovery.

<><> The State Dept recently issued a "special management alert"-----that it had "no idea" what happened to $6 billion used to pay its contractors.....it warned “significant financial risk and a lack of internal control at State has led to billions of unaccounted dollars over the last six years....under Hillary's watch.

<><> Bill Clinton got his hands on hundreds of million of dollars while Hillary controlled the State Dept checkbook..... monies that were meant for Haiti.

<><> the newlywed Clintons spent their honeymoon in Haiti.

<><> listed as a Clinton Foundation donor: Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund---organized at the behest of Obama: GHWB-WJC principles.

After the earthquake in Haiti, the Clinton Foundation raised around $36 million for disaster relief, while the Obama Administration kicked in $3.6 billion.

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

Protesters gathered outside the Clinton Foundation in Harlem to complain about "missing money" from the US State Dept's recovery effort for the 2010 Haitian earthquake:

"New Yorkers with roots in Haiti protested, saying the picture [of the Haiti recovery] isn't so rosy," said the NY1-TV anchor. "People raised their voices to call attention to the missing money.

They protested outside the offices of the Clinton Foundation, which helped lead the reconstruction fund."

The protesters claimed that the US State Dept's $10 billion meant to help rebuild Haiti did little to help the country after the devastating 2010 quake. And that much of the money went to non-Haitian companies.

Said one protester, “The Haitian people are still living in very difficult conditions, still living under tents, while Bill Clinton and his cronies--they waste this money."

THE HARRY REID-CLINTON FOUNDATION CONNECTION---LET'S CONNECT THE DOTS:

(1) Harry Reid's son Rory is in business w/ the Chi/Coms on a multi-billion dollar solar energy project; Cliven Bundy and his land are standing in the way.

(2) Reports say Bill Clinton recently went to China to panhandle for his tax-exempt "Clinton Global Initiative" foundation.

(3) The "Clinton Global Initiative" (NOT KNOWN for giving out grants)---gave Harry Reid's granddaughter a grant for a Brooklyn, NY theatre she runs (what is a Brooklyn theatre's connection to "global initiatives?")

(4) A Nevada energy company also gave Reid's granddaughter's theatre group a grant.

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

"Money laundering" comes to mind. Could the Chinese be financing the Reid's solar project through donations to the Clinton Foundations....which is then laundered to Reid's granddaughter?

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

REFERENCE----HARRY REID IS LIVID THAT HIS GRAND-DAUGHTER HAS BEEN OUTED AS A RECIPIENT OF LAUNDERED CAMPAIGN CASH---Reid lashed out at reporters, saying, “My granddaughter has been the target of harassing phone calls, strangers tracking her down, knocking on her door and negative, unwanted attention on the Internet.” “This has gone too far and it needs to stop now,” Reid said. “I deeply regret any role I had in creating this situation but now, as a grandparent, I say enough is enough.”

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

Besides the "jewelry company" financed by her grandfather, Ryan Elisabeth Reid runs the Sprat Theater Company, a small theater in Brooklyn, which is also coming under scrutiny. According to Sprat’s Theatre Company Web site, it has received grants/contributions from:

<><> the Clinton Global Initiative (connected to global terrorism via Muslim Brotherhood employee),

<><> two major Las Vegas foundations: Caesar’s Foundation, and the NV Energy Foundation.

NOTE NV Energy Foundation---is a non-profit division of NV Energy (a public utility). The NV Energy utility is a subsidiary of MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company which took over in 2013....and is now owned by a Warren Buffet unit.

BTW, here's Harry w/ his grand-daughter....the one who got $31,000 in laundered campaign funds for her "jewelry company" and grants from Clinton and Nevada energy foundations.

Reid and granddaughter Ryan Elisabeth Reid.

Harry Reid Secured Subsidies for Aides’ Donors - http://freerepublic.com/focus/news/3264538/posts

Reid pressured the Department of the Interior to expedite permit approvals for Nevada green energy projects

...at least nine corporate donors to the Clean Energy Project that have secured federal financing for themselves or a client due in part to Reid’s behind-the-scenes advocacy

One of those companies is First Solar.
http://cleanenergyprojectnv.org/partners-project

Of the six bids accepted for development at the Dry Lake Solar Energy Zone three went to First Solar Development, LLC

Gold Butte is designated as a mitigation area for development at Dry Lake Solar Energy Zone. You may recall that Gold Butte is the area on which Cliven Bundy cattle graze.

First Solar also received millions of dollars in subsidies to sell solar panels to itself.
