The Clinton Foundation has been deemed a massive global slush fund with sloppy accounting, poor public disclosure, and dubious mission related activities. Originally founded in 1997 under the name the William J. Clinton Foundation[1] for the purposes of building and maintaining the William J. Clinton Presidential Library, the organization has by some estimates handled as much as $100 Billion in cash inflows and outflows. The fund currently has an estimated $350 Million in assets.

According to two prominent charity watchdog organizagions the Clinton Foundation has engaged in questionable fund raising and reporting practices with less than 10% of the money raised going to its stated mission purposes such as AIDS treament, education, and healthcare in poverty stricken nations.[2]

In 2013 the Clinton Foundation took in more than $140 million, but spent only $9 million on its mission purposes, far below the 75 percent rate a good charity should spend. The Clinton Foundation reported the bulk of its income spent on administration, travel, salaries and bonuses with the largest payouts going to family friends.[3]

The Clinton Foundation Federal Tax ID number is 31-1580204.

In 2008 when Hillary Clinton was nominated to be Secretary of State, the Clinton Foundation disclosed for the first time its list of donors, many of whom were foreign entities and governements seeking to do business with the United States which the Secretary of State would have to approve. The foundation pledged not to recieve any further foreign government contributions, which it abruptly violated. Former Secretary of State and Democratic Presidential nominee has now come under criminal investigation for influence peddling among other charges.

In 2015 Reuters News agency reported,

For three years in a row beginning in 2010, the Clinton Foundation reported to the IRS that it received zero in funds from foreign and U.S. governments, a dramatic fall-off from the tens of millions of dollars in foreign government contributions reported in preceding years. Those entries were errors, according to the foundation: several foreign governments continued to give tens of millions of dollars[4]

Hillary Clinton's email scandal is considered an effort to cover up the fraudulent and illegal fundraising practices of the Foundation.

In late 2008 Hillary Clinton entered into a memorandum of understanding with the Obama administration about the potential conflict of interest with her role as Secretary of State and Mr. Clinton actively soliciting political donations for Hillary's 2016 presidential bid on behalf of the Clinton Foundation.[5] With the theft of government records and allegations the Clinton Chappaqua email server had been scrubbed by Clinton and underlings, the exact extent of a conflict of interest and violation of the memorandum of understanding at present is unclear.[6][7]

Origins and model

One of the "shocking" Watergate "revelations" and "allegations" made by former White House Counsel John Dean before President Richard Nixon's resignation was that President Nixon had intended to use the Nixon Presidential Library as a means to propel himself as a political force into the future beyond his presidency.

All presidents in recent memory - Truman, Eisenhower, and Johnson - where suppose to go off quietly into retirement. The 22nd Amendment had been passed in 1952 to insure that no president could amass such power even if he held a personal mesmerizing affect as FDR did over the people.

Prior to Nixon, all presidential papers were considered the personal property of the president.

Dean's allegation gave further impetus among Democrats, Congressional investigators, and public opinion to terminate Nixon's presidency early, either through impeachment or pressure on him to resign.[8] Impeachment or resignation would tar Nixon with enough stigma to blunt his blind ambition.

Nixon's ability to fund raise for his Presidential Library with private donations, as the law required, coupled with abuses the country just witnessed through his Committee to Re-Elect the President (CREEP), were chilling.

Funds intended for his campaign were rechanneled to private sleuths to harass opponents. Hillary Rodham Clinton[9][10] served on the staff of the House Impeachment panel investigating Nixon's schemes.

It was an exciting time for the 26 year old law intern. No one since the founding of the Republic or since has been privy to overhear the private conversations of a President in the Oval Office with his subordinates, discussing and making decisions in the midst of grave international, national, political, and personal crises'.[11][12]

After Nixon's resignation several reform measures were brought before Congress to rectify loopholes in existing laws that allowed Nixon to legally pursue constructing such a personally ambitious and corrupt political structure.

These lawyers fresh out of law school, Bill and Hillary Clinton, have been well aware of the existing Watergate reform laws and understood what Nixon's aims and ambitions were. They had already began their own quests for political power as offspring of the McGovern-Fraser reforms in 1971-72.

Today we now see the frightening realization of the combination of the two models - CREEP and the Nixon Library - in the Clinton Foundation. It is already said John McCain, who never served as President, and Barack Obama who is just beginning to solicit for his library, are building their own global influence peddling perpetual entities on the Clinton Foundation model.

Meredith McGehee of the Campaign Legal Center has lobbied Congress to ban officeholders from getting involved with foundations and other tax-exempt groups. By operating outside disclosure rules, the foundation gives foreign donors an avenue to influence elections.[13][14]

Of course, a younger generation not schooled in the particulars of Nixon's crimes do not see what is galling about the Clinton Global Initiative to those of us who lived through the Nixon presidency.

Memorandum of understanding

In Hillary Clinton's confirmation hearings Senators Richard Lugar and John Kerry expressed concern for the potential of conflict of interest in exericising her role as Secretary of State while her husband, Mr. Bill Clinton, solicited funds from foreign entities and governments for the Clinton Foundation in anticipation of her inevitable 2016 presidential bid.[15]

On 12 December 2008 Clinton Foundation’s chairman of the board, Bruce Lindsey, signed a Memorandum of Understanding[16] with Valerie Jarrett, co-chair of President-elect Obama’s transition team. The document provided that “During any service by Senator Clinton as Secretary of State, the Foundation will publish annually the names of all new contributors.” [17]

For three years in a row beginning in 2010, the Clinton Foundation reported to the IRS that it received zero in funds from foreign and U.S. governments, a dramatic fall-off from the tens of millions of dollars in foreign government contributions reported in preceding years[18]

Reuters news agency discovered that the Clinton Foundation filed incorrect disclosures with the IRS. As a result of Reuters reporting, the Foundation admitted that its IRS filings from 2010 through 2013 are not accurate. During her tenure the foundation operated in at least 29 countries such as Nigeria, Uganda, Ukraine, Haiti, Mozambique, China and South Africa.[19]

Russian uranium deal

http://libertyblitzkrieg.com/2015/04/23/more-clinton-foundation-cronyism-the-deal-to-sell-uranium-interests-to-russia-while-hillary-was-secretary-of-state/

Secretary Hillary Clinton gave approval to a deal that allowed a Russian government enterprise to control one-fifth of all uranium producing capacity in the United States.[20] Rosatom, the Russian company, acquired a Canadian firm controlled by Frank Giustra (pron. Ju-stra), a Friend of Bill (FOB) Clinton’s and member of the Clinton Foundation Board, who pledged over $130 million to the Clinton family non-profit enterprise.[21]

Saudia Arabia and the Gulf States

Saudi Arabia and rape victims

As Secretary of State, the Clinton Foundation accepted donations from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where rape victims are regularly flogged.[22][23][24][25][26] In 2015, a 19 year old woman who was the victim of a violent gang rape was sentenced to 200 lashes and six months in jail after being found guilty of being “indecent” at the time of the attack. Saudi law dictates a woman must have a male escort in public. She originally sentenced to 90 lashes, however on appeal the sentence was more than doubled to 200 lashes and six months in jail after being found guilty of indecency and talking to the media.

While homosexuality is punishable by death under certain circumstances, this particular active Clinton donor at the present time is seeking to increase the frequency at which executions of gays is carried out. Social media is blamed for causing an increase in "deliberate" acts of homosexuality. As of the first half of 2016, there currently are 35 people on death row in Saudia Arabia for sodomy.[27]

The Clinton Foundation also received donations from countries that Secretary Hillary Clinton oversaw the transfer of weapons to.[28][29][30][31]

While working in the State Department the Clinton Foundation received millions from an organization known as The Friends of Saudi Arabia.[32]

Syria

The Combating Terrorism Center document concludes,

The Syrian [ Assad regime] and Libyan [Gaddafi] governments share the United States’ concerns about violent salafi‐jihadi ideology and the violence perpetrated by its adherents. These governments [Syria, Gaddafi, and the US] like others in the Middle East, fear violence inside their borders and would much rather radical elements go to Iraq rather than cause unrest at home. U.S. and Coalition efforts to stem the flow of fighters into Iraq will be enhanced if they address the entire logistical chain that supports the movement of these individuals—beginning in their home countries – rather than just their Syrian entry points.

This set off a fierce debate in the Obama administration over the wisdom of arming terrorists.[33] It is now known sometime prior to March 31, 2011,[34] at urging of Hillary Clinton and over the objections of his National Security Council, Obama signed a Presidential Finding authorizing support for the rebel jihadis.[35]

Libyan Gold

Main article: Libyan War and the Bengazi attack

In an article posted on the Market Oracle, Eric Encina observed:

One seldom mentioned fact by western politicians and media pundits: the Central Bank of Libya is 100% State Owned.... Currently, the Libyan government creates its own money, the Libyan Dinar, through the facilities of its own central bank. Few can argue that Libya is a sovereign nation with its own great resources, able to sustain its own economic destiny. One major problem for globalist banking cartels is that in order to do business with Libya, they must go through the Libyan Central Bank and its national currency, a place where they have absolutely zero dominion or power-broking ability. Hence, taking down the Central Bank of Libya (CBL) may not appear in the speeches of Obama, Cameron and Sarkozy but this is certainly at the top of the globalist agenda for absorbing Libya into its hive of compliant nations.[36]

Ellen Brown adds,

Libya not only has oil. According to the IMF, its central bank has nearly 144 tons of gold in its vaults. With that sort of asset base, who needs the BIS (Bank of International Settlements), the IMF and their rules.[37]

These motivations were confirmed in an email from Sidney Blumenthal to Hillary Clinton on 1 April 2011:

Qaddafi's government holds 143 tons of gold, and a similar amount in silver. During late March, 2011 these stocks were moved to SABHA (south west in the direction of the Libyan border with Niger and Chad); taken from the vaults of the Libyan Central Bank in Tripoli. This gold was accumulated prior to the current rebellion and was intended to be used to establish a pan-African currency based on the Libyan golden Dinar. This plan was designed to provide the Francophone African Countries with an alternative to the French.franc (CFA). (Source Comment: According to knowledgeable individuals this quantity of gold and silver is valued at more than $7 billion. French intelligence officers discovered this plan shortly after the current rebellion began, and this was one of the factors that influenced President Nicolas Sarkozy's decision to commit France to the attack on Libya. According to these individuals Sarkozy's plans are driven by the following issues:
a. A desire to gain a greater share of Libya oil production,
b.Increase French influence in North Africa,
c. Improve his intemai political situation in France,
d. Provide the French military with an opportunity to reassert its position in the world,
e. Address the concern of his advisors over Qaddafi's long term plans to supplant France as the dominant power in Francophone Africa)[38]

Hillary Clinton was the driving force behind military action in Libya. On 14 March 2011 she met in Paris with Libyan jihadis (given the euphemism, 'Libyan opposition') and Bernard Henri Levy.[39]. Mrs. Clinton was arguing for intervention. Within hours, Mrs. Clinton convinced Obama that the United States had to act, and the president ordered up military plans.[40]

Mrs. Clinton broke with Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, who, along with the national security adviser, Thomas E. Donilon, and the counterterrorism chief, John O. Brennan, urged caution. Libya was not vital to American national security interests and Brennan worried that the Libyan rebels remained largely unknown to American officials, and could have ties to Al Qaeda.[40]

Hillary stated:

We are currently doing everything we can to bomb, strafe and use missiles to carry the rebels into power in Libya. We want them to win. We just don’t know who they are.”[41]

The president went on television offering the fig leaf for Hillary's plans: "Left unchecked... a humanitarian crisis would ensue.... The democratic values that we stand for would be overrun",[42] later admitting her 'greatest moment' was his 'worst mistake'.[43] After being captured on 20 October 2011 by jihadis backed by Hillary Clinton, Gaddafi was first publicly sodomized and murdered, and then his lifeless body dragged through the streets, a display to the whole world of the 'values that we stand for'.[44] Kim Jong-un was watching closely how Gaddafi had been double-crossed and lied to by the Clinton consortium.[45] Hillary laughed about the jihadi murderers.[46]

On September 11, 2012, the anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks, jihadis attacked the American embassy and killed four people. In testimony before Congress on 23 January 2013 Hillary Clinton was asked why the Obama administration deliberately put out false information about the attack just prior to the Presidential Election of 2012, Clinton screamed, "WHAT DIFFERENCE AT THIS POINT DOES IT MAKE?".[47]

In January 2016 North Korea cited Gaddafi's murder when it tested its nuclear device.[48]

Ambassador Stevens dispatched

File:Christopher Stevens.jpg
The body of Ambassador Christopher Stevens. Stevens, attended the March 14, 2011 meeting Sec. Hillary Clinton had with the "Libyan opposition"-jihadis loyal to al-Qaeda.[49] Stevens met the same fate as Gaddafi.

Giving in to Hillary's pressure, on Friday March 8, 2011, President Obama told reporters he would appoint an official to maintain contact with the "Libyan opposition". The number two official at the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli, Christopher Stevens[50] was tasked with helping to coordinate assistance to the "rebels", whose top military commander, Abdelhakim Belhadj, was the leader of the Al Qaeda affiliate, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG).[51] Hillary Clinton attended a meeting in Paris with Stevens and representatives of the "Libyan opposition", as did U.S. Ambassador Gene Cretz, who has also had contacts with the "opposition". Clinton discussed what she persuaded the Obama administration to do to help the jihadis, and that they would do more than just provide humanitarian aid.

Hillary's War

On March 21, 2011, President Obama announced he ordered U.S. military force operations in Libya two days earlier over the objections of his most trusted and knowledgeable experts. Secretary of Defence Robert Gates opposed the action[52] as did National Security Adviser Tom Donilon, Deputy National Security Adviser Denis McDonough, and White House counterterrorism chief John O. Brennan. Libya was not vital to American national security interests and the rebels had ties to Al Qaeda.[53] However Secretary of State Hillary Clinton "won the bureaucratic battle to use [Department of Defence] resources to achieve what's essentially the State Department's objective... and Obama let it happen". [54] Secretary Clinton stated:
Sec. Clinton (left) in Tripoli October 18, 2011 in the moment of her greatest triumph. The 'Hillary Clinton Doctrine' of 'smart power' was supposed to pave the way to her presidential election. Gaddafi warned Tony Blair by phone the jihadists would attack in Europe if his regime was allowed to collapse.[55] The disaster which has not reached its full apogee yet, evolved into what President Obama called a 'sh*t show' and her 'greatest moment' as his 'worst mistake'.
We are currently doing everything we can to bomb, strafe and use missiles to carry the rebels into power in Libya. We want them to win. We just don’t know who they are.” [56]

A March 29, 2011 article in the Washington Post included these paragraphs:

"It’s almost a certitude that at least part” of the Libyan opposition includes members of al-Qaeda, said Bruce Riedel, a former senior CIA analyst and adviser to President Obama. Riedel said that anti-Gaddafi elements in the rebel stronghold of Benghazi have had “very close associations with al-Qaeda” dating back years....I would hope that we now have a good sense of the opposition in Libya and can say that this is 2 percent, not 20 percent,” Riedel said. “If we don’t, then we are running the risk of helping to bring to power a regime that could be very dangerous.[57]

A document published by the U.S. West Point Military Academy's Combating Terrorism Center revealed that jihadi rebels between 2005 and 2007 exited Libya to join the Islamic insurgency in Iraq in greater numbers than any other country.[58][59] Many of those jihadi rebels that came from Libya to Iraq to kill American soldiers came from among the very people Obama pledged to protect in the name of "humanitarianism". One group—the Libyan Fighting Group (jama'ah al-libiyah al-muqatilah)—claimed to have Afghan veterans in its ranks. The Combating Terrorism Center document concludes,

The Syrian [ Assad regime] and Libyan [Gaddafi] governments share the United States’ concerns about violent salafi-jihadi ideology and the violence perpetrated by its adherents. These governments [Syria, Gaddafi, and the US] like others in the Middle East, fear violence inside their borders and would much rather radical elements go to Iraq rather than cause unrest at home. U.S. and Coalition efforts to stem the flow of fighters into Iraq will be enhanced if they address the entire logistical chain that supports the movement of these individuals—beginning in their home countries – rather than just their Syrian entry points.

This set off a fierce debate in the Obama administration over the wisdom of arming terrorists.[60] It is now known sometime prior to March 31, 2011,[61] at the urging of Hillary Clinton and over the objections of his National Security Council, Obama signed a Presidential Finding authorizing support for the rebel jihadis.[62] Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi of the U.S. organized Libyan Fighting Group said jihadists who killed American troops in Iraq were now serving on the front lines in Libya. [63] [64]

NATO's Supreme Allied Commander James Stavridis told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee days before President Obama publicly admitted to intervention that U.S. intelligence knew of al Qaeda and Hezbollah elements among the Libyan insurgents.[65]

The Charter of the United Nations, in Article 2(4), prohibits the “threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence” of a member state, and many observers have wondered whether the establishment of a no-fly zone would constitute a violation of this prohibition. The Congressional Research Services advised that a no-fly zone imposed against a state that has not carried out an attack on its neighbors may consider the imposition of a no-fly zone an “armed attack.” CRS warned that even if no-fly zone operations in a given state do not constitute an “armed attack",

that state, and other members of the international community, might consider them a violation of the prohibition of the “threat or use of force,” as well as of the customary duty of non-intervention in the affairs of other sovereign states.

Laureate International Universities

Between 2010 and 2014 while Hillary Clinton served as Secretary of State, Bill Clinton made $16.5 million for his role as honorary chancellor of Laureate Education, a for-profit college company.[66] The State Department funneled $55 million in grants during Hillary Clinton’s tenure to groups associated with Laureate’s founder. The International Youth Federation, an organization connected to Laureate chairman Douglas Becker, received USAID funding.[67] Becker is a major donor to the Clintons and the Clinton Foundation.[68][69]

In her first year as Secretary of State, Hillary is quoted as directly asking that Laureate be included in a high-profile policy dinner — just months before the lucrative contract was given to Bill Clinton. Hillary Clinton later references “Laureate Universities, started by Doug Becker who Bill likes a lot".[70] “It’s a for-profit model that should be represented,” she wrote in the August 2009 email.[71][72][73]

2013

On its 2013 tax return the foundation claimed it spent $30 million on payroll and employee benefits; $8.7 million in rent and office expenses; $9.2 million on “conferences, conventions and meetings”; $8 million on fundraising; and nearly $8.5 million on travel. The Clintons enjoy first-class flights paid for by the foundation.

In all, the foundation reported $84.6 million in “functional expenses” on its 2013 tax return and had more than a $64 million remaining balance.

2016 revised filings

For tax year 2013, nearly 100 percent of the $4.4 million of the government donations came from foreign governments. Only $23,000 came from U.S. government entities, according to some of the foundations revised tax filings.[74]
