“downside” of capitalism(which I don’t think there is one).

Capitalism is the most unfair inane socio-economic system there is except for all the others.

As Obama's Secy of State, Hillary enriched the Clinton Foundation with foreign shakedowns selling US foreign
policy for foundation donations. No word on Obama's cut ofthe scam; he wont reveal donors to the Obama Foundation.

LEGEND-—Donation to Clinton Foundation/Global Initiative (CGI)-—followed by State Dept favor granted in return.

<><> Prince of Abu Dhabi and Foreign Minister of the United Arab Emirates Shaikh Abdullah bin Zayed al Nahayan and the Al Nahayan family of Abu Dhabi. <$5,000,000 to the Clinton Foundation----Access to HRC at State Dept. and a $500,000 environmental speech by Bill Clinton given at the Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi while HRC was meeting in Washington with Shaikh Abdullah.

<><> Algeria <$500,000 to the Clinton Foundation. State Dept clearance for U.S. arms sales to Algeria. Deal included biological and chemical agents.

<><>Australia, Commonwealth of <$75,000,000 to the Clinton Foundation. Strong State Dept. support for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which stands to be a boon for Australian multinational firms.

<><>Bahrain, Kingdom of <$250,000 to the Clinton Foundation. State Dept's muted criticism of Bahrain’s abysmal human rights practices.

<><>Boeing Corp.<$900,000 to the Clinton Foundation. State Dept. clearance for $29 billion arms U.S. arms sale to Saudi Arabia, including Boeing’s F-15 fighter.

<><>Sultanate of Brunei Darussalam, < $5,000,000 to the Clinton Foundation. State Dept. clearance for U.S. weapons sales to Brunei.

<><>Canada $500,000 Clinton Foundation donation for State Dept support for Canada’s Keystone XL pipeline, eventually vetoed by Barack Obama (guess his cut wasnt big enough).

<><> Chagoury Group <$5,000,000 in cash to the Clinton Foundation and a $1,000,000,000 pledge. HRC delayed designating Nigeria’s Boko Haram as a foreign terrorist organization because of Chagoury Group’s investments and operations in Nigeria. Chagoury Group received the “Sustainable Development Award” from the CGI. Chagooury helped the family of Nigerian dictator Sani Abacha hide his wealth stolen from Nigeria’s oil revenues.

Hollywood should also be investigated for its foreign links. If the libs are really upset about foreign influence in our elections, they should be really concerned about foreigners trying to influence our elections via education and entertainment.

None of this would have ever come to light without our wonderful, disruptive POTUS and his Administration ... the swamp would have continued concealed and unabated.

.......about 'Clinton University?'....
washingtonexaminer.com by Ashe Schow| June 10, 2016

Very little has been written about Laureate Education and its ties to the Clintons....Hillary Clinton has her own fraud scandal involving higher education.

Laureate is a for-profit online college that received an unusually large amount of money from the U.S. State Department. This happened while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state and afterher husband Bill was named "honorary chancellor," a position that paid him $16.5 million over five years. His role included giving speeches around the world and lending his name to attract prospective students.

Bloomberg.com reported in April that during the time, when Bill was acting as a well-paid honorary chancellor, the U.S. State Department, under Secretary Clinton, gave a whopping $55 million in grants to the International Youth Foundation, a non-profit chaired by Laureate's chairman, Douglas Becker. "In 2010, the group received 14 grants worth $15.1 million. In 2011, 13 grants added up to $14.6 million," Bloomberg authors Joshua Green and Jennifer Epstein reported. "The following year, those numbers jumped: IYF received 21 grants worth $25.5 million, including a direct grant from the State Department." Laureate itself was added to the State Department's Global Partnership program, Peter Schweizer reported in his 2015 book, Clinton Cash.

Laureate Education has also been sued for fraud. Its Walden University Online subsidiary allegedly "worked like a scam designed to bilk students of tens of thousands of dollars for degrees," according to liberal professor Jonathan Turley, who recently documented the organization's ties to the Clintons. "Students alleged that they were repeatedly delayed and given added costs as they tried to secure degrees, leaving them deeply in debt. Sound familiar? A class-action lawsuit was also filed against Laureate Education, just like against Trump University, though that lawsuit was dismissed in 2015.

In 2014, the Washington Post noted how Laureate Education became an international success thanks to the Clintons, and included criticism that the institution was "turbocharging" enrollment without making additional investments in academics.

Turley also pointed out that, as was discovered in Hillary's email scandal, the former secretary of State requested the inclusion of Laureate Education at a high-profile policy dinner just months before her husband Bill was named honorary chancellor and began raking in the dough. And like other Clinton scandals, it appears Laureate Education was above the law, skirting "gainful employment" regulations by having a large number of schools outside the U.S. with students that did not receive federal aid. Still, "five out of its six U.S. campuses are on a list of 544 schools the Department of Education is monitoring over concerns about shaky finances or regulatory compliance," according to MarketWatch.

"Moreover, there are distinctions that can be drawn with a university like Trump that is based entirely on the presumptive nominee and his promises in advertising," Turley wrote. "However, the money given to the Clintons, the involvement of the State Department, and the claims of fraud make this an obviously significant story in my view. The ridiculous amount of money given to Clinton alone raises legitimate questions."

A spokesperson for the Clinton campaign did not respond to a Washington Examiner inquiry prior to press time.

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

Correction: This post originally misstated the recipient of the $55 million in State Department grants. The recipient was the International Youth Foundation, a non-profit chaired by Laureate's chairman, not Laureate University itself. Ashe Schow is a commentary writer for the Washington Examiner.

Foreign governments began turning off money spigots to the scandal-scarred Clinton Foundation; the foundation received millions from dozens of foreign governments including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the Netherlands, Canada, Sweden and Ireland.

<><> French federal comptrollers began following a trail of tens of millions in government money that ended up
in Clinton Foundation coffers, according to a document reviewed by The NY Post.

<><> The Australian government announced that it would end its decade-long affiliation with the Clinton Foundation
— amounting to as much as $25 million, according to the foundation’s Web site.

<><> Norway is also scaling back; donations reached $25 m in 2015.

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

ITEM---Investors Business Daily reported huge foreign contributions to the Clinton Foundation were not publicly disclosed,
despite Mrs. Clinton's agreement with the Obama White House to publicly identify all such donors.

ITEM---The Dallas office of the IRS's investigation into Clinton Foundation public filings found missing disclosures
concerning Clinton Foundation donations from foreign governments
. Other glaring discrepancies should
have triggered payment of substantial fines, penalties, and interest to government treasuries long ago.

Then-NYAG Eric Schneiderman Let Clinton Foundation skip identifying foreign donors
By Bob Fredericks September 6, 2016 | 9:37pm

State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman gave the Clinton Foundation a pass on identifying foreign donors in its charitable filings — making it impossible to know if it got any special favors while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state, according to a report Tuesday.

Scripps News found that the foundation and its subsidiary, the Clinton Health Access Initiative, took in $225 million in government donations between 2010 and 2014. New York’s charity law clearly states: “Organizations that received a contribution or grant from a government agency during the reporting period shall include the name of each agency from which contributions were received and the amount of each contribution.” But both the foundation and the CHAI failed to do that, and Schneiderman, a member of Clinton’s “leadership council” in New York and a fierce critic of Donald Trump, did nothing about it.

On its website, the Clinton Foundation reveals its foreign donors, but using only broad ranges, such as $5 million to $10 million, without any time frames. The IRS doesn’t require such disclosures.In 2009, Clinton’s first year at the State Department, the foundation disclosed a lump sum of $122 million in foreign-government donations in its New York paperwork, posting the total amount on a form that requires all charities to “list each government contribution separately.”

Clinton spokesman Josh Schwerin said, “This is a ridiculous accusation. The Clinton Foundation goes above and beyond the disclosure requirements by listing every donor on their website and updating the list quarterly.” Schneiderman’s office said, “The Clinton Foundation’s disclosures regarding funding from foreign governments are in compliance with New York law.”

Other charities complied, including the George W. Bush foundation, which reported receiving $5 million from Saudi Arabia and $500,000 from Kuwait.

Hillary and the smirking Eric Schneiderman (right).

As NY AG Eric Schneiderman helped the Clinton Foundation hide foreign donations.
Schneiderman was recently ousted from office for slapping choking and spitting at women in his bedroom for sex.
The lawman threatened to tap one women's phone.

If I’m not mistaken the CIA has a recruiting office at Texas A&M. If true, wonder how that all plays out since the Chinese and islam have such a foothold on college campuses.

Remember Robert Heinlein's pithy observation:

"Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire."

Keeping this in mind, it easy to see that China, Islam, the Deep State, Democrats, the GOPe, the MSM, Iran, Kim Jong Un...are all on the same side. Their tactics may differ and they certainly seek individual advantages for themselves, but any group of them would team up in a heartbeat to destroy a genuine movement in the world toward liberty.

We have seen one of those recently - the protests in Hong Kong - which the MSM is already trying hard to play down or ignore. Despite increasing Chinese control, Hong Kong is still one of the freest countries - and certainly the freest economy - left on Earth. Xi Jinping's revenge against this rebel city for costing him face (and he will take it, soon enough) will show the rest of the world what it is in for if it dares to question the decisions of its masters.

American institutions, including the entire US education system, from the grammar schools to the universities, and including the Federal Government, are far more corrupt than any honest person would ever have believed.

When the honest outsider Donald Trump undertook the task of cleansing the Government of corruption, he probably had no idea of the extent and magnitude of the corruption or how deep it extended into America's most sacred and revered institutions, and he exposed, perhaps inadvertently, the corruption in its horrifying magnitude and extent, to the utter surprise and horror of all honest people probably including himself.

The magnitude and extent of corruption are directly proportional to the opposition to its exposure. This explains--clearly to all honest people--the magnitude and extent of the opposition to President Trump and his determination to expose corruption wherever it can be found.

The corrupt are fighting against him with everything they have.

You can recognize them by their opposition to TRUTH.

You can measure the magnitude of their corruption by the magnitude of their opposition to TRUTH.

As Governor Mike Huckabee once said: "If you toss a rock over a wall, it's the hit dog that hollers."

Similarly, when the Light of TRUTH threatens to expose corruption, it's the corrupt who try to extinguish it.

Can the USA withstand the exposure of corruption in such magnitude and extent? No one knows. But we, honest people, have no choice: our only choice is to support the exposure and eradication of it and hope for the survival of the USA.

It is a Manichaean struggle between good and evil, light and darkness, TRUTH and corruption. Whether the USA will survive it remains to be seen.

It all depends upon the American People.

If they demand TRUTH, they shall have it.

If they allow corruption, mendacity, hate, darkness, and evil to prevail, they shall have that.

President Trump has assumed the responsibility for cleansing America, including her sacred institutions and including the Federal Government, of corruption--a Herculean task. All honest people will give him their full, complete, and undivided support. If he succeeds, America will soar once again into ascendancy; her greatest generations will live in the future; and the American Dream will continue to bless the world.

Pray that he succeeds.

Pray that TRUTH, goodness, love, joy, justice, prosperity, and light will prevail.

Pray for President Trump. Pray for America. Pray for the people of the world.

Globalism is getting killed everywhere.....dying an ignoble death.

It's happening so fast, it's difficult to compose a definitive thread.......
but the overwrought global push for open borders has turned the globe into Trumpland nationalists.

Trump's Nationalism routed globalism all over Europe. Trump-like nationalist candidates swept to victories in the UK, France, Italy, Hungary, Sweden, Poland and the Netherlands. The new EU political stars are Salvini, Le Pen, Farage and Hungary's nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban. All are in talks to form a team of international nationalist leaders....and Trump is the acknowledged world leader..

<><> Mette Frederiksen: the anti-immigration left leader set to win power in Denmark. Under her leadership, the SD have called for a cap on “non-western immigrants”, for asylum seekers to be expelled to a reception centre in North Africa, and for all immigrants to be forced to work 37 hours a week in exchange for benefits.

<><> Bolsonaro in Brazil.

<><> In France, President Emmanuel Macron's party suffered an embarrassing defeat to nationalist Marine Le Pen.

<><>In the U.K., Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage won a landslide victory in the EU Parliament,
leading a Trump-like party that was established just six weeks ago.

<><>It appears likely Boris Johnson, the Trump-like former mayor of London, will emerge as the new prime minister of Britain.

<><>Italy's Matteo Salvini's nationalist party became a leader of the EU Parliament, winning an astounding 28 seats.

<><> Opposition conservatives prevail in Greek local election runoffs Reuters. Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’ leftist Syriza party suffered its first major defeat in years to the conservative New Democracy party in last Sunday’s European Parliament vote, prompting him to say he would call an early election. The snap election is expected to take place on July 7. On Sunday, the seats of the mayor of Athens and the district governor for the wider Athens area were the top prizes up for grabs in the runoffs of local elections. Results showed New Democracy candidates winning both seats, handing the conservatives another boost before Greeks return to vote in the expected election next month.

I agree totally. I had a conversation with someone today. It seems like no one wants to ‘own’ and ‘produce’ anymore. They don’t want to bear the responsibility anymore. They want to come up with something or start something, in the hopes that some conglomerate will snatch them up so they can walk away. And we wonder why the globalist try the things they try and to the things they do.

On that note, your comment is 100% accurate.

The new mayor of the "migrant-infested global village" in southern Italy's rural Calabria got elected with the
support of nationalist Matteo Salvini's anti-migrant Lega party. Once seen as a bunch of bumpkins, they are now in the driver's seat.

LESSON LEARNED "We will welcome refugees again, but we can't have 500 to 600 asylum seekers in a town with 1,500 residents. The problem is that we had too many migrants and we lost our initial spirit of openness. A whole economic system developed with the migrants, but without making the village dynamic again... The model destroyed itself."

Yeah, sure that was s-o-o-o-o-o "unpredictable." (smirk)
