Memo Reveals Clinton Foundation Donor’s $100 Million Registration, Turnout Push
Washington Free Beacon ^ | June 22,2016 | BY: Lachlan Markay

Posted on 06/22/2016 1:43:00 PM PDT by Hojczyk

A Swiss billionaire and seven-figure Clinton Foundation donor is pouring millions of dollars into a nonprofit voter registration and turnout operation and appears to have shared information about the project with the Democratic Party, a leaked document reveals.

Hansjörg Wyss is accelerating a $100 million registration and get-out-the-vote plan in order to more quickly impact elections and the U.S. policy landscape, according to a document detailing the proposed work by his charitable group, the Wyss Foundation.

The document details the scope of Democratic efforts to boost grassroots organizing, and sheds light on how some of the left’s deepest pockets are facilitating those efforts through nonprofit vehicles generally restricted to charitable activity.

Wyss is a controversial figure. He is currently being sued in Washington state court over allegations that illegal drug tests by his former medical device company resulted in patient deaths.

According to the memo, the Wyss Foundation initially planned to spend $100 million over the next five years on voter registration, outreach, organizing, and legal and policy advocacy on voting laws. But that won’t be enough, the group said.

The document, titled “Wyss Foundation Democracy Strategy Discussion Memo,” was saved in a Microsoft Word file suggesting it was created in March 2015.

Corrupt foreigners attempting to influence and subvert U.S. elections once again?

This is the stuff revolutions and wars are made from.

A little wisdom from the very first President of the U. S. of America, in an excerpt from his Farewell Address:
“All obstructions to the execution of the Laws, all combinations and Associations, under whatever plausible character, with the real design to direct, controul counteract, or awe the regular deliberation and action of the Constituted authorities are distructive of this fundamental principle and of fatal tendency. They serve to Organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force — to put in the place of the delegated will of the Nation, the will of a party; often a small but artful and enterprizing minority of the Community; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public Administration the Mirror of the ill concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the Organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common councils and modefied by mutual interests. However combinations or Associations of the above description may now & then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the Power of the People, & to usurp for themselves the reins of Government; destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.

“... in a country so extensive as ours, a Government of as much vigour as is consistent with the perfect security of Liberty is indispensable — Liberty itself will find in such a Government, with powers properly distributed and adjusted, its surest Guardian. It is indeed little else than a name, where the Government is too feeble to withstand the enterprises of faction ...

“I have already intimated to you the danger of Parties in the State, with particular reference to the founding of them on Geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, & warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the Spirit of Party, generally.

“This Spirit, unfortunately, is inseperable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human Mind. It exists under different shapes in all Governments, more or less stifled, controuled, or repressed; but in those of the popular form it is seen in its greatest rankness and is truly their worst enemy.

“The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge natural to party dissention, which in different ages & countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders & miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security & repose in the absolute power of an Individual: and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty.

“Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind (which nevertheless ought not to be entirely out of sight) the common & continual mischiefs of the spirit of Party are sufficient to make it the interest and the duty of a wise People to discourage and restrain it.

“It serves always to distract the Public Councils and enfeeble the Public Administration. It agitates the Community with ill founded Jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot & insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence & corruption, which find a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country, are subjected to the policy and will of another.
 

Can anyone find the Clintons described in these warnings from President Washington?

Is it even legal??? Interference in U. S. elections? That can’t possibly be construed as “charitable” and the Clinton Foundation(s) are all tax exempt charitable organizations, are they not? Can’t possibly be legal!!! They take in the $$$, dole it out where they see fit and keep the rest. Pretty neat deal. I still want to know who came up with it!!! Like others have said, why can’t people just give the money to the causes they deem appropriate. What’s in it for them to run it through the “laundry” first? Guess only the Clintons could come up with a good answer to that.

WellyP, to answer your post #8:”Wyss, a Swiss citizen, has donated to numerous federal and state political campaigns despite legal bans on political contributions by foreign nationals. While the law provides exceptions for lawful permanent residents, Wyss revealed in 2014 that he does not have a U.S. green card” The Washington Free Beacon

Wyss Foundation Joins the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation on No Ceilings: The Full Participation Project

New York, NY

Press Release

The Wyss Foundation announced today that, with a commitment of $5 million from its Chairman, Hansjörg Wyss, it is joining the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation in support of its newest initiative, No Ceilings: The Full Participation Project.

No Ceilings is an effort led by Hillary Rodham Clinton at the Clinton Foundation to bring together partner organizations—international institutions, governments, businesses, NGOs, and others—to evaluate and share the progress women and girls have made in the 20 years since the UN Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing and chart the path forward to accelerate full participation for women and girls in the 21st century. The full participation of women and girls is critical to global progress, development, and security.

“The great unfinished business of the 21st century is helping women and girls break through these ceilings and participate fully in every aspect of life once and for all,” Secretary Clinton said in her speech announcing the initiative last month. “We have an opportunity to take a look and come up with an honest assessment, because while the challenges we face are significant, they are solvable.”

No Ceilings will create a comprehensive and compelling global review of the gains that have been made as well as the gaps that remain and will make this information accessible to leaders, advocates and the public around the world. Armed with this information, Secretary Clinton will outline a 21st century agenda to accelerate full participation for women and girls around the world. The project will convene the private sector, government, civil society, and individuals to accelerate progress toward this agenda and drive real change.

“There is no more important step we can take toward a more just, prosperous, and stable world than building societies in which women and girls are empowered and have equal opportunities,” said Hansjörg Wyss, a businessman and philanthropist who founded the Wyss Foundation in 1998 and who now lives in Wilson, Wyoming. Earlier this week, Wyss made the ‘Giving Pledge,’ committing to give away more than half his wealth to charity. “With Secretary Clinton’s leadership, the No Ceilings project will help mobilize public and private resources to overcome the barriers to opportunity and participation that prevent women – and our societies – from achieving their full potential.”

This investment marks the launch of a new Women’s Equality Program at the Wyss Foundation, which will work to empower women and realize full equality in the U.S. and around the globe through grants to projects in women’s health, economic empowerment, and political participation and leadership. The Women’s Equality Program builds on ongoing Wyss philanthropy in areas that include land conservation, basic science, medicine, conflict resolution, and the arts.

When I seen that name I recognized it from the Clinton Cash book, he was also in Phramazicals, which the Clinton Foundation has hands in...

My best guess on “how much this Wyss guy stands to make...” is that the hildabeast is prolly carving out about 10% VIg on her finders fees.

If Wyss is donating $100 million. I’d say he stand to make $1 billion on the deal.

Friends and Allies Talking Points

Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership (CGEP)

•Let’s be clear about the facts here: The Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership (CGEP) is a Foundation initiative focused on alleviating global poverty. That initiative receives funding from a separate Canadian charity called CGEP (Canada), which Frank Guistra created to give Canadians the opportunity to support the initiative’s work and get a charitable tax credit.

•CGEP (Canada) is in no way a general operating fund for the Foundation — it’s a distinct entity that provides funding on a project-by-project basis to the poverty-fighting Foundation initiative. Like other independent organizations that give to the Clinton Foundation, in keeping with the organization’s voluntary transparency efforts, this Canadian charity is listed as a donor on the websites.

•Simply put, the Canadian charity’s individual donors aren’t listed on the Clinton Foundation website because it operates separately from the Clinton Foundation. In light of Canadian privacy laws, CGEP (Canada) does not publicly name its donors without prior permission from those individuals.

•This is hardly an effort on the Foundation’s part to avoid transparency. In fact, the main donor noted in the Post article as contributing to CGEP (Canada) — Canadian businessman Ian Telfer — was also disclosed as a Foundation donor. So the fact of his status as a Foundation contributor was not at all a secret.

•In recent days, the Foundation has shown that its commitment to transparency is stronger than ever. Since Secretary Clinton decided to run for President, the Foundation committed to disclosing all of our donors on a quarterly basis. And the Foundation recently opted to undergo a voluntary external review, promising to refile some of its recent 990 forms as necessary.

•The Clintons are rightly proud of the Foundation, which is a global philanthropy, and will not let misguided attacks in the course of this campaign distort its critical, life-saving wor

Bill Clinton owns World Wide Minerals and Trans World Metals who is also owned by Frank Giustra who is the owner of UrAsia Energy, and both Bill and Frank together own CGSGI which is Clinton-Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiative.

Clinton Cash...

You can also see they change the name so when someone trys to track them, they can’t because the name isn’t the same..
