Breaking-Dem Convention Finally Reveals Its List of Corporate Influence Buyers
Observer ^ | Septemer 27, 2016 | By Michael Sainato

Corporate interests and influences have gained a great deal of ground in the Democratic Party under Hillary Clinton’s candidacy. For example, Clinton’s 2008 campaign co-chair, former Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz rescinded a DNC ban enacted by Barack Obama in 2008 on donations from lobbyists and SuperPACS. The decision helped Clinton keep up with Bernie Sanders’ grassroots fundraising. . .

--------------------------------------------------------------------------snip---------------------

According to the filing report, some of the donors include George Soros’ son, Alexander, who gave $200,000; Priorities USA, a SuperPAC funded by George Soros, gave $1.5 million; Bank of America gave $1 million; Chevron gave $25,0000; Citigroup gave $100,000; Morgan Stanley gave $75,000; Wells Fargo gave $500,000; former Goldman Sachs CEO Donald Mullen who helped cause the 2008 economic recession gave $100,000; hedge fund investor and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s “corporate point-man” Michael J. Sacks donated $300,000. For a political party that nominated Clinton, who hilariously claims to be the champion of Wall Street reform, these prolific donations from the financial industry suggest otherwise.

Blackstone Holdings gave $125,000 to the Democratic National Convention. . .

Hopefully some of the Sanders voters who were going to vote for Hillary will stay home in protest.

Wells-Fargo? Is that the same Wells-Fargo that defrauded their customers by creating millions of unauthorized new accounts and secretly charging account fees to their customers existing accounts.

How strange that a company that knew they had such a huge upcoming liability would be among the most generous donors.

Facebook donated $1.45 million to the convention. Google donated $500,000. Twitter donated $250,000. These donations don’t help the case of these social media sites when they argue that they don’t censor content not in line with their political agenda. In April, several Bernie Sanders groups simultaneously disappeared, with Facebook attributing the shutdown to a glitch.

Anyone with elderly relatives needs to get them away from Wells Fargo. They DO NOT recognize power of attorney without a court fight (which they routinely lose).

Fortunately for me my relative came out of the coma and was able to go to the bank and close the accounts. This is a situation which needs a class action suit but until then it’s best to stay away from these crooks.

Sovereignists v. Globalists, coming to a polling place near you. With the turnover of the internet to the globalists by Obama, expect a return to feudal times if Clinton wins.
