Turkish Chobani Owner Has Deep Ties to Clinton Global Initiative and Clinton Campaign
Breitbart - Big Government ^ | 8-25-2016 | Lee Stranahan

TWIN FALLS, IDAHO – Hamdi Ulukaya, the Turkish-born billionaire best known for having founded the United States’ largest greek yogurt company, Chobani, has ties to both Bill and Hillary Clinton, the Clinton Global Initiative, Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, and a host of other globalist corporatist figures including Warren Buffet. Chobani’s factory in Twin Falls – the world’s largest yogurt factory – has been at the center of Breitbart News’ investigative series into the small town’s refugee resettlement program.

According to CNN Money: starting in 2008, Chobani began to hire refugees to work in its upstate New York plant – and listening to Ulukaya speak at events like the Clinton Global Initiative and Davos, one can tell that the issue closest to his heart is refugee resettlement.

The Chobani billionaire’s many speeches and soliloquies on the issue of refugees combined with his extensive political connections may explain why establishment politicians, both Republican and Democrat, have swooned over Ulukaya, positively giddy to form “business / government partnerships” with him and to support his position on refugees.

Many people first heard about the Twin Falls refugee resettlement program when a five-year-old girl was raped at the hands of three refugee boys. More recently, a Muslim refugee molested a mentally retarded woman. Those stories led to a look at the wider conditions that led to refugee resettlement in the state of Idaho, a situation connected to the drive for cheap labor by the local food processing industry that Chobani is a major part of.

So that’s what Senator Hillary meant about bringing new jobs to Upstate NY. There was a lot of coverage of the opening of Chobani, but none of the facts reported here.

Each day we learn more about Crooked Clinton and who has paid to play in America's markets.

I dumped the Chobani brand on the last issue that was a problem. I have been boycotting so many companies and items I can’t keep up with what precipitated my decision. But I certainly have been walking by Chobani.

This is why I don’t buy Chobani. Cabot Farms Greek Style full fat yogurt is the best

Jeff Kuhner discussed this a good detail on his show today. All other conservative talkers need to get this information out. If I used Chobani yogurt, I’d stop.

That’s not my real intent for posting this article.

I just want to highlight what real journalistic reporting is.

They need truth in labeling. Someone needs to fire up their label printer:

I stopped eating Chobani a while ago for this reason. I like Trader Joe’s Greek yogurt. I recently notified my kosher market of the Muslim connection to Chobani and therefore questioned why they would sell a product promoting the importation of more Muslims and anti-Jewish influence at the U.N. (the Chobani owner is a big mucky-muck at the U.N., it seems, as well as a board member of NYS banks-—when he’s not even a citizen!). This guy is another Soros, only pointedly pro-Muzzlime.

It is. Just thought I’d toss in the Syrian refugee hiring program the owner agreed to because he’s a F***ING MUSLIM. Thanks.

Absolutely, Cabot is excellent! We buy the plain and add some jam and fresh fruit. Mmmmm.
