Investment Watch Blog ^ | Dec. 5, 2016 | IWB

Posted on 01/07/2017 9:04:54 AM PST by HarleyLady27

It has been revealed that millions of New Zealand taxpayer dollars have been donated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) to Hillary Clinton’s charity, the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), a non-profit organisation created from the Clinton Foundation with the stated goal to reduce HIV/AIDs in Africa.

An MFAT spokesman confirmed to the NBR that between January 2010 and June 2016, $7.7 million of taxpayer funds had already been donated and another $6 million was to follow, keeping to a pledge to donate $13.7 million made by the government organisation in 2013.

FULL TITLE: New Zealand Prime Minister resigns after getting caught giving $13.7 million in taxpayer money to the Clinton Foundation…. Merkel gave 5 million to the Clinton Foundation during our election!

Maybe Bill Clinton was going to get the Minister a seat on the Lolita Express.

So what was the quip pro quo ? These are not pointless with bribes. They were expecting some kind of return. The Clintons bribe ratio can easily run over 1000 : 1.

The Germans got caught giving around $5 million to the Clinton Foundation. I think if you dug into it....minimum of thirty countries donated gov’t funding into the foundation’s pot. Surprises me that most of these people aren’t going to jail.

No wonder the left is screaming about Russia and its attemped “hack of the election.”

This is a criminal offense, and the Clintons are on the hook.

What did they promise all these people and countries?

We really dodged it this time.

If true, Trump will probably make moves to remove New Zealand from our most trusted allies.

After Trump replaces our shady Intel leaders with good guys/gals. He needs to look at getting rid of our long time military and intel alliances with Nato, Canada, New Zealand and the UK.

A new Pacific trade alliance with India, Taiwan, Japan, the Phillipines and Australia will send a strong message to the ChiComs and New Zealand.

When these former allies do what New Zealand and Germany apparently did in the last election, it is past time to sever long time relations with them.

Isn't that odd?

Billybooboo was president for 8 years. Hillary was First Lady eight years then a US Senator for four year....and Secy of State for four years. But Obama says all of their really great accomplishments....saving people's lives, fighting disease.... happened only when the Clintons had a foundation.

Even more significantly, all of the global goodness happened at the same time the Clintons got filthy rich accepting donations from foreigners, countries, and various entities......even a Baptist Church in Cameroon.

(Just a coincidence, I'm sure) that companies doing business before the State Department, got lucrative favors from Hillary AND AT THE SAME TIME donated to the foundation.

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

STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE--Remember Billybooboo's infamous "WJC LLC" pass-through account....funds deposited then emptied the same day? Funds just disappear, and no scrutiny involved.

Funds passing through Billybooboo's WJC LLC could end up in: (a) offshore accounts,
(b) money market accounts, (c) hedge funds, (d) another foundation account, (e) assorted investment accounts....without garnering public scrutiny.

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

That certainly explains OBAMA'S ACADEMY-AWARD WORTHY ACT.

He acts like he "knows nothing." Obama didn't even know about this (snix).

PIC Circa 2010--Ex-Pres Clinton in Moscow having a laugh w/ Putin
as strategic US uranium deposits were sold off to Russia for Big Bucks
facilitated by Secy Clinton, as Bill globe-trotted to set up the deal.

"Hahahaha. US ntl security? Hahahaha. You gotta be kidding, Vlad."

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

With all the top-level intel available to him, can Americans actually believe:

<><>Obama was oblivious to the Clintons jerking around US foreign policy?

<><> Obama knew nothing of Hillary and Sid Blumenthal's emails WRT Iran (the man Obama banned from US govt employment)?

<><> Obama knew nothing about the Clinton Foundation/slush fund buck-raking activities?

<><> Obama never noticed Bill Clinton trotting around the globe?

<><> Obama never noticed the Clinton "charity" used to worm his way into the confidences of foreign leaders.... but only those leaders w/ untapped reserves of gold, uranium, oil, and other valuable commodities?

<><> Obama never knew Hillary's brother got a gold- mining permit in Haiti?

Hand-picked by Obama to run State, Hillary ran it like a shadow govt.... w/ her husband taking notes WRT buck-raking opportunities available from Hillary's actions OR inaction.

Secy Hillary never e-v-e-r uttered a discouraging word e-v-e-r......as the Clinton Foundation sucked up hundred of millions of foreign dollars from shady characters.

OF COURSE, the Clintons selling access to State Dept decisions and passing on classified information to interested parties for a foundation donation.......NEVER, EVER interfered w/ Obama/s OWN foreign policy initiatives (cue laugh machine).

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

PULITZER PRIZE ANYBODY?---an enterprising reporter (1) matches-up foreign policy decisions at Hillary's State Dept, (2) the timing of donations to the Clinton Foundation....and, (3) related foreign policy decisions by Obama.

If you want to go down the rabbit hole on the Clinton foundation, take a look at this Youtube channel.

George Webb

Heard about it listening to the No Agenda podcast. I like his characterization of the force that took Libya as "The Clinton Foundation Army".

I agree with you. Maybe he went on one of those Brownstone parties, or even to Lolita Island. It looks like hush money to me.

A source close to Pres-elect Trump's transition team indicated plans to pressure its yet unnamed US ambassadors to suggest to foreign governments that they probe their Clinton Foundation financial dealings. “Haiti and Colombia will be key diplomatic posts because of all the money ­involved,” said the source.

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

Recently leaked ­e-mails marked FOB “Friends of Bill”, indicate Clinton State Dept insiders may have given "FOB" official State Dept priority as it prepared to spend some $10 billion tax dollars---aid after a 2010 devastating earthquake in Haiti. The State Dept denied any special treatment.

Canadian mining magnate Frank Giustra (he facilitated the sale of US uranium deposits), pledged $100 million to the Clinton Foundation in 2005 and later benefited from the foundation’s philanthropic work in Columbia where Giustra acquired large parcels of land and set up an oil business, ­according to watchdog groups. (hat tip NY POST)

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

Another person who profited from Haiti’s earthquake was Hillary Clinton’s younger brother Tony Rodham. In October 2013, he joined the board of Haiti's VCS Mining.

In December 2012, VCS Mining was one of two companies to win a contract to mine for gold in Haiti. Haiti had not issued permits to mine gold in almost 50 years prior to this deal. How did VCS do it?

In 2012, VCS chief executive Angelo Viard met Tony Rodham at a Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) event. If Viard didn’t hire Rodham because of his family ties, then why did he also pay $20,000 membership fee to the Clinton Foundation.

It is worth noting that mining for gold can be extremely hazardous to the environment of Haiti. To separate the gold from the rock, some mining companies use cyanide. If another earthquake hits Haiti,there is a chance that the cyanide could escape into the soil and/or the water supply. Many Haitians could die to service the greed of Clinton Foundation donors and recipients.”

The Kiwis paid even more to the outgoing administration. Ask yourself, why did New Zealand co-sponsor the recent anti-Israel security council resolution?

Emails released by ABC News show that the State Department assisted “FOB”-—Friends of Bill-—in facilitating lucrative US government contracts in the aftermath of the 2010 Haiti earthquake.

Ten billion tax dollars in government aid poured in. In addition, Bill Clinton said he raised another 65 million by sending out solicitation letters from the Clinton Foundation requesting more aid.

“Friends of Bill Clinton” were flagged for special treatment by the State Department, while others who offered aid were redirected to a general government website.

One example is billionaire Clinton Foundation donor Denis O’Brien. When the 2010 earthquake hit, his Jamaica-based telecom firm Digicel wanted to fly supplies into Port-au-Prince and get his employees out. An email from the Clinton Foundation’s Amitabh Desai, director of foreign policy, had the subject listed as “Close friend of Clintons” and referred to Bill Clinton by his initials WJC.

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

A large building industrial park in Haiti was built with Clinton Foundation money and became home to many businesses that donated to the Clinton Foundation, such as Gap and SAE-A, a Korean garment company that became the anchor tenant of the park, according to ABC News.

Hillary Clinton was still the secretary of state when the park opened in 2012. At the opening ceremony, both she and Bill gave special thanks to Hillary’s chief of staff Cheryl Mills (a US govt employee cashing govt paychecks).“I want to thank our friend Cheryl Mills because it was her determination, her sheer will to work through every obstacle that made this possible,” Bill Clinton said.

Secy Hillary also praised Mills, saying “my chief of staff, Cheryl Mills, who has been, as others have already said, a real driver of our government’s support for everything that we see here today.”

However, Cheryl Mills left the State Department in 2013 and was later pictured at a SAE-A company event in Costa Rica where she represented the Black Ivy Group, a firm that prides itself on building commercial enterprises in sub-Saharan Africa and focuses on “building and leveraging a vast network of global and local relationships spanning the public, private and government sectors.”

One of the initial investors of Black Ivy was identified on their website as Woong-ki Kim, chairman of SAE-A, ABC News reported. That page has since been removed. The Clinton Foundation has denied any involvement in the decision to build the industrial park, recruiting SAE-A as its anchor tenant and denied persuading former donors to establish factories in the industrial park.

It has yet to be determined if Cheryl Mills is still cashing US govt paychecks.

A statement from Bruce R. Lindsey, chairman of the board of the Clinton Foundation, denies wrongdoings, saying, “the Clinton Foundation did not have a role in building the Caracol Industrial Park and has never invested any funds into the park.”
