The Clinton Colombia connection: a secret investment fund (primed w/ billions in foreign aid)
nypost.com ^ | 11/27/15 | NY POST EDITORIAL

Posted on 11/27/2015 4:31:39 AM PST by Liz

Hillary Clinton is upping her anti-Wall Street rhetoric, amid reports that the Clinton Foundation is running a private-equity company down in Colombia.The same private-equity field dissed by 2008 Obama in hundreds of millions of dollars of negative ads against Mitt Romney b/c Romney earned his fortune w/ a PEF.

The Bogota-based Fondo Acceso, started in 2010 by Bill Clinton, Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim and mining millionaire Frank Giustra....$20 million seed funding supposedly came from the Clinton Foundations Clinton-Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiative and Carlos Slims the SLIM Foundation, the Washington Free Beacon reports. In an ominous sign, Fondo Acceso took down its Web site once the Beacon broke the story. Plus the venture wasnt registered as a private equity fund in Colombia, thereby skirting government oversight. A good move for an investment firm linked to the US secretary of state.

The National Legal and Policy Center, notes, At the minimum, the Clinton Foundation should disclose every company that received investment funds, because the public is entitled to know whether those companies benefited from any State Department foreign-aid programs. Not to mention the ethical murk of having two charities co-own an investment fund in a developing nation. Especially when one of those charities is the family nonprofit of a presidential candidate who has raised tens of millions from the financial sector shes promising to reform.

Don’t Taze me bro! You may not like the source you found (there are numerous others including British media that I linked to) but the truth is that Jenna Bush did the deal for Daddy after meeting with the leader there... Land records don’t lie. Why buy an aquifer if you don’t intend to profit from it somehow? I’m not saying there’s anything sinister here... just that power and access equals HUGE PAYOFFS..

“....... the Clinton Foundation is running a private-equity company down in Colombia.”..........

Somehow I feel this ‘private equity” company has something to do with drug money.

ACADEMY-AWARD WORTHY---Obama puts on a convincing act.
He "knows nothing." Obama didn't even know about this (snix).

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.

"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.

"Do-goodisn" was the Clintons' passport into the deep pockets of numerous global entities. The avaricious Clintons devised hundreds of obscure programs to collect billions.....bragging about do-goodism, how the money was supposedly dispersed to "assist" endless charitable projects.

HOW THEY WORK THE FOUNDATION SCAMS Just the other day, little Chelsea frowned and worried about dwindling elephant herds. BOOM---the Clinton Family Foundation had a new fund-raising pitch.

CHECK IT OUT--CLINTON FOUNDATION WEB SITE Peruse 276 web pages of obscure programs all of them vehicles to raise money. All of them expecting payback w/ Hillary in the WH.

LOCATED
1271 Avenue of the Americas 42nd Floor
New York, NY 10020
212-348-8882

WEB SITE http://www.clintonfoundation.org/clinton-global-initiative

The do-gooder Clintons calculatedly morphed into "The Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Family Foundation" ..... giving them even more fund-raising capabilities w/ a friendly "family" aura.

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

Hillary's State Dept emails were found on the Clinton Foundation server, a valuable commodity on the global market, imperiling our ntl security. Not to forget the State Dept's missing $6 billion---just evaporated into thin air on Hillary's watch.

Paraphrasing VDHanson ....lurid revelations indicate the Clinton Foundation is a huge money-laundering operation fuelling the Clintons’ affluent lifestyle and their political ambitions.....with well-paid sinecures for the hydra-headed Clinton retinue flitting around w/ scads of money. The serial cover-ups and financial legerdermain are the result of greed and the Clintons naked buck-raking.......

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

Time to look at the Clintons money-laundering operation. When L/E looked at Jeffrey Epstein's Orgy Island pedophile case, they found Bill Clinton and pal Doug Band w/ 20 phone nos and email addresses. L/E recognizes this as a classic money-laundering MO.

Bill Clinton was an inveterate globe-trotter w/ do-goodism as his passport to the world.....secret accounts, business interests, and other evidence of money laundering, must be everywhere.

Do you have a link to a confirming story, what you linked is a story reporting a story reporting a rumor? Really, do you work for the DNC, or the Clinton crime family, trying to draw some kind of equivalence with Hillary story?

Maybe something a little less sketchy and from a more creditable source might be helpful. You do realize that was 9 years ago, right. Surely something has been confirmed within that time?

Remember when the "kind-hearted and compassionate" Clintons (Bill
was then-President) assured us that abortion would be "safe, legal and rare?"

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

Oops. The kindly Clintons plumb "forgot" to mention that they
themselves opened the gates so that Planned Parenthood could traffic
(and profit) in baby body parts.

(EXCERPT--WND.COM). Then-Pres Clinton is credited w/ opening up the market in fetal body parts. Since Clinton signed the National Institutes of Health Revitalization Act of 1993, “fetal-tissue research” has expanded into a federally subsidized multi-million dollar industry of selling human spare parts salvaged from abortions.

For example, the NIH budgeted $21 million in fiscal year 1999 for grants and awards for fetal tissue research. At the University of Washington, the NIH subsidizes the central laboratory for human embryology.

According to a lab notice obtained by WorldNetDaily, it “can supply tissue from normal or abnormal embryos and fetuses of desired gestational ages between 40 days to term. Specimens are obtained within minutes of passage, and tissues are aseptically identified, staged, and immediately processed according to the requirements of individual investigators.” The notice is signed by Alan G. Fantel of the department of pediatrics.

At the time, two organizations that profited from this growth industry were (the now defunct) Opening Lines, a business formerly located in West Frankfort, Illinois...... and Anatomic Gift Foundation, headquartered in Laurel, Maryland.

Opening Lines gives credit to President Clinton for opening up the lucrative business in fetal tissue trade.

According to Opening Lines, on January 22, 1993, Clinton lifted the moratorium on federal funding. “This action created a great demand for fetal tissue and has made possible the development of treatments for individuals afflicted with serious diseases and disorders,” says the sales brochure.

Both companies served as wholesalers for the marketing of baby body parts to researchers, drug companies, hospitals and universities. These groups harvest the baby parts from abortion clinics and ship them to their customers.

Opening Lines provides fetal tissue researchers with a “fee for service schedule,” which gives prices for each body part. For example, Opening Lines charged:

<><> $150 for a spinal column;

<><> $400 for an intact embryonic cadaver;

<><>$75 for 8-week-old baby's eyeballs (40% discount for a single eye);

<><>$150 for two arms or legs; and,

<><> $100 for the skin of a 12-week-old baby.

Mena was the first thing I thought of when I saw Clinton and Columbia in the same sentence.

What I started reading a month ago when googling mena and Jeb bush made my hair stand on end. Read stuff on that whole affair, Colombian drugs, Barry Seal, the Bushes, the Clintons (you wonder why they have become family), the Contras.... Smoke was coming out of some of my brain’s synapses.

It seems being President is like being “made” into a crime family. Man this country is in trouble.

I can't possibly doubt some connection.

I do have to clarify that post, though: as I've reread some of those early threads, they were more about Clinton's dealings in Arkansas while cocaine was being smuggled into Mena from Colombia.

An absolutely sordid story. Some of the sworn testimony at the links (that still work -- get 'em while you can) reads like any number of thrillers that Hollywood produced over the next 30 years.

Reading it 15 years on left me with a similar impression.

I just read this stuff last month when Jeb was imploding and someone here linked something. If even an eighth of that stuff is true, sheesh.

And they’ve brought in their Hollywood friends to make an upcoming movie about it, filled with lies, (like JFK) to set the story in stone with the public their way. It is called “Mena.”

I can’t believe I thought we were somehow more moral than the Soviets, growing up.

Bushes were alleged to have knowledge of Mena also.

I’ve always believed just one of the reasons the border isn’t shut down is because DC is getting a big cut from the drug trade through donations or whatever.

There was a time when I wouldn’t have believed any of it, especially Bush involvement, but I never suspected the corruption was as deep and widespread as it is today.

A streetwalker has more decency than the whores in our government.
