So What if the Clinton Foundation Fleeced Norway? Bring on the Chardonnay!
PJ Media ^ | 11 Mar 2019 | Bruce Bawer

Posted on 03/12/2019 9:29:10 AM PDT by Rummyfan

Hillary Clinton visited Norway last week, an event that brought to my mind, anyway, the fact that, adjusting for population, no country has been more generous to her family’s stupendously sordid con operation than has the land of the fjords.

The numbers are scandalous. Between 2007 and 2016, the Norwegian government transferred no less than 640 million kroner in taxpayer money to the Clinton Foundation. Given the average exchange rate during that period, that sum would’ve been roughly equivalent to $100 million. This means that each and every Norwegian citizen, without being asked, put about twenty dollars into the pockets of that crooked enterprise.

The official reason for these massive payouts was that the Norwegian government wanted to help mothers and children in Africa. In 2016, Norway’s purported newspaper of record, Aftenposten, ran an article in which Stephen Gillers, an expert on legal ethics at NYU, said that the real motive was to buy influence for Norway in the corridors of American power.

No grand juries, no indictments.

Money + power = Lawlessness.

The Saudis placed multi-million dollar bets on 2016 Hillary to win. They showered the Clintons with petrodollars.

ITEM<><>EXCLUSIVE: Persian Gulf Sheikhs Gave Bill & Hillary $100 Million [VIDEO]

A Daily Caller News Foundation investigation reveals that Bill and Hillary Clinton received at least $100 million from autocratic Persian Gulf states and their leaders, potentially undermining Democratic presidential candidate Hillary’s claim she can carry out independent Middle East policies.

ITEM <><> As a presidential candidate, the amount of foreign cash the Clintons have amassed from the Persian Gulf states is “simply unprecedented,” says national security analyst Patrick Poole. “These regimes are buying access. You’ve got the Saudis, the Kuwaitis, Oman, Qatar and the UAE. There are massive conflicts of interest. It’s beyond comprehension,” Poole told TheDCNF in an interview.

ITEM <><> Overall, the Clinton Foundation has received upwards of $85 million in donations from five Persian Gulf states and their monarchs, according to the foundation’s website. Activist groups have charged the five states — Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) — committed numerous human rights abuses.

ITEM <><>the Saudis helped stage Hillary's election night "victory"---giving her a huge expensive flat screen TV supposedly to air her crashing through a symbolic 500,000 dollar glass ceiling. (This from a kingdom where women are not allowed to drive).

ITEM <><> Several Persian Gulf states contributed millions to the Clinton presidential library in Arkansas.

ITEM<><> Saudi Arabia Funded 20% Of Hillary's Presidential Campaign, / Zerohedge ^ | Jun 14, 2016| Tyler Durden / FR Posted by xzins

(NOTE: It is illegal in the United States for foreign countries to influence the outcome of elections by funding candidates. That appears not to have stopped the Saudis, however.)

“Saudi Arabia provided with full enthusiasm 20 percent of the cost of Hillary Clinton’s election"......the report quoted Saudi Prince Mohammed as having said. According to the US Federal Election commission, over the past two years Clinton has raised a little more than $211.8 million. 20% of this sum is $42.4 million. The Saudi Press Agency reported on Monday that the senior royal was due to fly to Washington where he will meet Obama admin officials to discuss US-Saudi ties. --SNIP--

ITEM<><> Links between Saudi Arabia and the Clinton family, including with Hillary’s campaign, are well reported. In 2008, it was revealed that the Gulf kingdom had donated between $10m and $25m to the Clinton Foundation, a charity set up by Hillary’s husband and former US President Bill Clinton.

ITEM<><> Last year the Centre for Studies and Media Affairs at the Saudi Royal Court paid public relations firm the Podesta Group $200,000 for a month- long project to provide “public relations services”. The Podesta Group was founded in 1988 by brothers John and Tony Podesta. John Podesta is the chair of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign.

Saudi Royals greet then-Secy Hillary (she checks to make sure she's on-camera). The suck-up begins.

Perhaps the Norwegians are still being conned by the Clintons, but I understand folks in Haiti are livid about the Clinton’s looting their aid. Bill and especially Hillary have driven shameless avarice to new heights.

A single individual could correct this misjustice, but alas, no one seems willing to step up to the plate.

OK

You’re a bigwig in some country.

You convince your fellow citizens to give $100,000,000 to the Clintons.

The Clintons slip you $10,000,000 back.

See how it works?

You just claim that you’re a good-hearted boob handing money over to the Clintons.

You look like a nice guy to your fellow citizens while you’re stealing from them.

This is one of the weirdest Clinton Foundation donors. Hillary took money for The Clinton Foundation's Health Initiative from the Cameroon Baptist Convention whose official policy is that being gay 'contradicts God's purpose for human sexuality'. The devout Christian organization has in the past compared being gay to committing incest and human trafficking. Its leaders have also railed against US attempts to promote gay rights in Cameroon.

Despite this, the Cameroon Baptist Convention Health Board gave between $1million and $10million between 2010 and this year, according to the latest list of donors from the Clinton Health Access Initiative. Public supporter of same-sex marriage Hillary Clinton's health charity took up to $10 million from a church which says homosexuality should be equated with incest and bestiality

The Rev Godwil Ncham, general secretary of the Cameroon Baptist Convention, kneels to receive flowers during a meeting at a church in the country. His church says of homosexuality that it 'contradicts God's purpose for sexuality'.

The disclosure will be awkward for Mrs Clinton who has publicly stated that she supports gay marriage. Some of her wealthy and influential celebrity supporters are gay including Ellen DeGeneres and Elton John, while many others Democrats are strong advocates for gay rights. And during her election campaign Mrs Clinton will be heavily relying on them to raise her estimated $1 billion war chest. The latest roster of donors for CHAI lists dozens of individuals and companies who have given up to $25million and over during the last five years. But the CBC do not appear as in line with the Clintons' views in the same way as the likes of The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, who are some of the biggest givers.

Although they are broadly in line with some other denominations in their teachings on sexuality, including among others the Catholic Church and the Southern Baptist Convention, the CBC are certainly very much at odds with the founder of the Elton John AIDS Fund, which is also a donor. Clinton's campaign commercial featuring same-sex couples

The Cameroon Church's views on gay people are laid out in a letter from December 2013 signed by both the organization's president Joseph Chebonkeng and the general secretary Godwill Ncham. It reads: 'As a church we uphold the belief that marriage is celebrated between a man and a woman. 'We uphold the principle that sexual intercourse outside of marriage, sexual promiscuity, adultery, homosexuality, sexual exploitation, same sex marriage, incest and sexual perversion contradict God's purpose for sexuality.' In an interview with a Cameroon news website Rev Chebonkeng goes further when asked to comment on the question: 'Spiritually speaking, where do you think the idea of homosexuality is coming from?' He says: 'It is coming from the Devil because it is not prescribed by the Bible which means that if you practice unorthodox things, these are things that are coming from the dark world and they know what they do with such things, because, it is unthinkable. 'Only recently, Cameroonians began to know that a man can get married to a man. And many people confront me to ask what it means for a man to get married to a man? 'You begin to imagine some devilish type of a thing. I think that Cameroonians should be resolute on issues of homosexuality and these are not practices that are common in our societies.

Hillary Clinton's endorsement of same-sex marriage would not win her any favors from the Cameroon Baptist Convention. Its president attacked 'the West' for pegging aid to changing anti-gay laws 'These are imported ideas, imported ways of life which are alien to our society. It is time Africans spoke out on this ill.' He also rails against America and accuses it of trying to 'peg' aid to reforms in Cameroon about gay rights. He writes: 'What the West is playing on is their assistance which they give African countries and they think that they will peg the conditions for having that aid on the practice of homosexuality or on the legalization of homosexuality. 'I think it is time for Africans and African governments to make a clear cut stand on that at the AU [African Union] summit so that the West should know 'There are other partners that can give us assistance without necessarily pegging that assistance to homosexuality and so they are not the only people that assist us'. According to the Cameroon Baptist Convention's website it dates back to 1841 and was founded by two Jamaican Missionaries, John Clarks and George Prince.The CBC Health Board is one of the biggest providers of health services in Cameroon.

The official list of donors published by the Clinton Health Foundation shows how the CBC Health Board is in the same category as Elton John's foundation - and the Clinton Foundation itself It claims to have 1,028 churches with a membership of about 105,000 members and a number of departments including the 'Evangelism and Missionary' wing and the 'Christian Education Department'.

The health wing runs five hospitals and 74 health centers in Cameroon and drug production and distribution center. Others who have donated money to the organisation include Microsoft. The Rev Chebonkeng said he would answer questions by email but did not do so.

The Cameroon disclosure is the latest of many donor issues confronting Mrs Clinton. 'Clinton Cash', is a book about Foundation donations to her nonprofit and business empire as also raised questions over a diamond deal that went through whilst she was in office. The Clinton Health initiative did not return requests for comment.
