From a past thread :

...“Clinton Foundation staff pushed Hillary Clinton’s State Department to approve a meeting between Bill Clinton and a powerful Russian oligarch as her agency lined up investors for a project under his purview.”

His name was Viktor Vekselberg of Renova (a Clinton Foundation donor) and the project under his purview was the Skolkovo Innovation Center, which is being built near Moscow. The following month, Bill Clinton would receive $500,000 for a speech in Moscow from a Renaissance Capital, a Russian investment bank with ties to the Kremlin, a Clinton Foundation donor, a Skolkovo executive, and which talked up Uranium One, whose sale the Clinton State Department would approve, and whose executives together contributed $145 million to the Clinton Foundation.....

So being a billionaire who happens to be Russian automatically makes one an "oligarch" and is subject to sanctions and asset forfeiture? Are there any other criteria or is any wealthy Russian fair game to have their assets seized?

I am curious to see how this will be applied once China invades Taiwan. My guess is that excuses will be made globally as to why the circumstances will be considered to be different from the Russia / Ukraine situation.

The Curley Effect: Using Redistributive Politics to Shape a Left-Wing Electorate
Discover the Networks (David Horowitz) ^ | 04/08/2013 | Staff
Posted on 4/8/2013, 4:30:27 PM by newheart

n a famous 2002 article in the Journal of Law, Economics, & Organization, Harvard scholars Edward Glaeser and Andrei Shleifer named the so-called “Curley Effect” after its prototype, James Michael Curley, who served four (non-consecutive) terms as mayor of Boston between 1914 and 1950. This phenomenon, the authors explain, is the strategy of “increasing the relative size of one’s political base through distortionary, wealth-reducing policies.” Forbes magazine puts it this way: “A politician or a political party can achieve long-term dominance by tipping the balance of votes in their direction through the implementation of policies that strangle and stifle economic growth. Counterintuitively, making a city poorer leads to political success for the engineers of that impoverishment.”

What it should read is the NKVD Peoples Commissariat for Internal Affairs of the Federal Government conducted a raid looking for secret correspondence.

I’d say that’s a damn sight/site closer to the truth.

......” look at all of the U.S. taxpayers’ dollars Biden has been sending to them (Ukraine).”

And any other way he can scam this nations people. I sometimes think this administration is bankrupting our nation on purpose - and for sure to drain it should it look like Republicans will win the next election.
