THE CLINTONS' CONNIVING ABILITY TO GET RICH EXPLOITING NATIONAL DISASTERS UNDER COVER OF THE CLINTON FOUNDATION IS LEGENDARY the "do-good" is w/ your tax dollars.

Haiti, the Clintons and Digicel

BFF---Clinton and Digicel CEO/billionaire. Dennis O'Brien.
O'Brien chairs the Clinton Foundation's Global Initiative---Haiti Action Network.
US tax dollars poured into O'Brien's coffers thanks to the Clintons.

EXCERPT Free Beacon May 2015--- The Clintons have been working with Digicel CEO Denis O’Brien in Haiti since 2010, in the wake of the disastrous earthquake. Bill Clinton and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had been active players in the country before the quake, but would assume almost total managerial control over the recovery effort via the State Department and the Clinton Foundation.

As Peter Schweizer documents in his book, "Clinton Cash," Digicel received millions in U.S. tax dollars from USAID, an agency overseen by the State Department, as part of the Haiti Mobile Money Initiative. The program was designed to establish a mobile money-transfer system that would allow individuals to send donations directly to friends and relatives in Haiti.

The State Department's "USAID Food for Peace" program, which was under the direct control of Hillary Clinton’s top aide Cheryl Mills, benefited Digicel.....to administer money transfers over its mobile network. Haitians received cell phones and a free Digicel account.

Digicel received grants courtesy of U.S. taxpayers, and collected millions in fees from Haitians every time they used the system, and significantly expanded its user base.

By 2012, Digicel had captured nearly 80 percent of the Haitian mobile phone market, and Haiti had surpassed Jamaica as the company’s most profitable market. Revenues were up 14 percent compared to 2011, and Digicel’s subscriber base increased by almost 30 percent during that period. O’Brien, who holds a 94 percent stake in the privately owned firm, continued to rake in cash. In 2014 alone, O’Brien awarded himself $650 million worth of dividends.

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

Time to look at Malta to find more dirt on the Clintons.

BACKSTORY Secy Hillary poured billions of our tax dollars into dirt-poor, earthquake-ravaged Haiti as Bill put on his "do-good" act. But Haitian Americans protested the Clinton Foundation offices say dirt-poor Haitians never got a dime...all of the tax dollars have been laundered into the foundation.

REALITY CHECK In some Haitian mountain villages there's no electricity (maybe generators for a few hours), no water, no septic, etc. - but dirt-poor Haiti does have cell-phone coverage.

Reading the many stories of Clinton "do-goodism" in Haiti....he is invariably standing before a Digicel sign. You can bet your bottom dollar the Clintons get a cut of that action.

That's Digicel's CEO on the left.

The Digicel Group is the Caribbean and Central American telecom empire run by Denis O’Brien, an Irish billionaire who officially resides in Malta to avoid taxes.

O'Brien, a multi-million dollar Foundation donor, serves as chairman of the Clinton Global Initiative’s Haiti Action Network.

Digicel, the largest mobile provider in Haiti, invested $45 million in the project, which also benefited from $26.5 million in financing from the World Bank-affiliated International Finance Corporation.

Hillary also tapped the Sate Dept's USAID agency for more tax dollars for the tax-evadng billionaire.

The State Dept's USAID Food for Peace program, under the direct control of Hillary Clinton’s top aide Cheryl Mills, benefited money-hungry Digicel.....to administer money transfers over its mobile network.

Haitians received cell phones and a free Digicel account; Digicel received grants courtesy of U.S. taxpayers, collected millions in fees from Haitians every time they used the system, and significantly expanded its user base. But it was Bill Clinton who made it all happen....w/ your tax dollars.

What I want to know is how Clinton and his buddy, Old Bushie, got to induct underage Haitian girls into their mile-high club ???

Got to read this later

Chelsea actually had her braces done by a good orthodontist. (I am working from memory here because my kids orthodontist was his best friend and he told me about it.) When she was about 2/3rds the way through her treatment, Hillary demanded that the braces be taken off. The orthodontist tried to reason with her about how stopping the treatment before it was finished and that Chelsea would forever have a bucky look.

Later, Chelsea had plastic surgery to move the jaw to make the look less apparent. But it is still there. That is what her orthodontist meant when "she would have it forever."

"she would have it forever."

Hillary's face. At least no on doubts who her mother is.

In the Rolling Stone article, Digicel is made out to be a contributor to the little 'success' that is seen in Haiti.

They sponsor a soccer team, they have parties, and they make a lot of money, but they also connect with the Haitians....(in a refugee camp championed by) Sean Penn...one enterprising Digicel representative has set up a cellphone-repair shop under a tree.

I'm not saying that Haiti was perfect before the Clinton clan came along. But this is all absolutely despicable.

[sheana]

I read it. Pretty good article. Outlines exactly why all the aid to Haiti failed. Doesn’t really sugar coat much.

If President Trump uttered s-hole yesterday, it would appear Rolling Stone would likely have been in agreement...in 2011.
