Protesters at Clinton Foundation: 'Missing $10 billion US foreign aid' for Haitian Recovery
weeklystandard.com ^ | 1/12/14 | DANIEL HALPER

Posted on 01/13/2015 5:02:41 AM PST by Liz

Protesters gathered outside the Clinton Foundation in Harlem to complain about "missing money" from the US State Dept's recovery effort for the 2010 Haitian earthquake.

"New Yorkers with roots in Haiti protested, saying the picture [of the Haiti recovery] isn't so rosy," said the NY1-TV anchor."People raised their voices to call attention to the missing money. They protested outside the offices of the Clinton Foundation, which helped lead the reconstruction fund."

The protesters claimed that the US State Dept's $10 billion meant to help rebuild Haiti did little to help the country after the devastating 2010 quake. And that much of the money went to non-Haitian companies. Said one proteser, “The Haitian people are still living in very difficult conditions, still living under tents, while Bill Clinton and his cronies--they waste this money."

As secretary of state under the Obama administration, Hillary Clinton devoted much of her time in 2010 to the Haiti recovery.

THE BILLIONAIRE "PUBLIC SERVANTS": The "dead broke" Clintons' vast wealth ---said to be in the multi-billions---was accumulated in a short time after they exited the WH

BACKSTORY When Billy, the Boy From Hope, burst upon the political scene as a presidential candidate....he duped the voters and coached his Arkansas Mafia friends to say, “Money doesn’t mean anything to Bill Clinton"........

FAST FORWARD News reports say the State Department announced it has "no idea" what happened to $6 billion used to pay its contractors..... a special “management alert” warned “significant financial risk and a lack of internal control at State has led to billions of unaccounted dollars over the last six years....under Hillary's watch.

Now we hear Billy-Boy got hundreds of million of dollars while his wife controlled the State Dept checkbook......monies that were meant for Haiti (the place where the Clintons spent their honeymoon).

Plus the hundreds of millions flowing into the Clintons' tax-exempt foundations which the Clintons morphed into multiple fund-raising machines.

Sounds like a good scandal to use if she actually pulls off the nomination.

As my old mammy used to say “God helps those who help themselves.”

All that I have seen of those “poor” people is them sitting on their asses and waiting for a handout.

You can’t feel sorry for someone who just sits there waiting for someone to do their work for them.

Of course, we all know that the word “money” and “Clinton” go hand-in-hand along with the word “corruption.”

The NYT's reported on the meeting of The Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Family Foundation (one of three Clinton "tax-exempt foundations").

A tsunami of clichés and political buzz words poured fourth---intended to advance Hillary's 2016 ambitions----and to raise billions for the greedy Clintons.

THE CLINTON MO--The Clintons are advancing Hillary 2016 with their "concern" for: global warming, gender equality, wellness, empowerment, polarization, Mohammed Yunus, sustainable development, globalization, Palm Oil alternatives, uplift, board diversity, education access, green energy, Malala, information technology, organic farming, public-private partnerships, and #YesAllWomen.........

Earlier, the Clintons calculatedly morphed into the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Family Foundation....to give it sound more apple-pie'ish---and to create more fund-raising capabilities. The shady methods the Clintons use to raise tons of money for themselves was also exposed by an earlier NY Times investigation.

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

The Clinton fund-raising MO is to target a particular area of concern and create a fund-raising vehicle around it.

Standing alongside her parents at "The Clinton Foundation, little Chelsea warned of the plight of African elephants.......ut, oh get ready for a-n-o-t-h-e-r Clinton fund-raising scheme.

Earlier, a NYT's expose chronicled the shady tax-exempt Clinton Global Initiative foundation.

CLINTON GLOBAL INITIATIVE
go here to peruse 276 web pages of obscure programs---
all of them vehicles to raise money
all of the donors salivating for payback
w/ Hillary wielding the presidential pen.

Clinton Foundation Accepted $25,000 from Pedophile Pal
By DANIEL HALPER / Jan 8, 2015

EXCERPT On July 18, 2006, the Clinton Foundation received a $25,000 check from the C.O.U.Q. Foundation, whose president was known pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein, a friend of Bill Clinton. The donation is revealed in the C.O.U.Q. Foundation's 990 tax form, filed with the IRS.

Clinton apparently turned his back on Epstein in 2005 — the year the financier was first arrested for receiving an “erotic massage” from a minor, according to the 2011 court records, related to a suit brought by women who claimed the businessman abused them. Before that, Clinton was a frequent flier on the moneyman’s private jet.

“The documents clearly show that Clinton flew with Epstein and then suddenly stopped, raising the suspicion that the friendship abruptly ended, perhaps because of events related to Epstein’s sexual abuse of children,” the documents state.

Yet this unrestricted donation to the Clinton Foundation is proof that Clinton did not cut all ties after Epstein was accused of pedophilia.

Epstein's proclivities where well known even when the Clinton Foundation accepted his generous gift. "The legal drama began in 2005, when a young woman who gave Mr. Epstein massages at his Palm Beach mansion told the local police about the encounter. She was 14 at the time, and was paid $200," the New York Times has reported.

The billionaire sex offender accused of pimping out a teenage girl to Prince Andrew also kept former President Bill Clinton on speed dial — 21 of them, court documents show.

Lawyers stumbled upon e-mail addresses and 21 phone numbers for the fun-loving ex-president and his personal aide, Doug Band, stashed away in Jeffrey Epstein’s electronic directory, according to court documents. ... (NOTE: Why does Clinton have 21 phone numbers? My guess is that's the number of fund-raising mechanisms he and Hillary have---that have raised billions for them through their several "foindations.")

Those lawyers even considered subpoenaing Clinton since he “might well be a source of relevant information” — but Bubba was never deposed. Clinton and his unseemly relationships will likely come up in his wife's 2016 presidential run. Including his ties to Epstein.

Lots of that money went to the wrong small country by mistake. It is in the Cayman Islands.

Fling another $10B at it and see if that does anything.

As long as the GOP has a decent nominee (of course, not especially likely), Hillary is a great foil—because she’ll be beatable.
