AMERICAN MIDDLE CLASS. CALL IT
OBAMA-CLINTONomics!
"It’s at odds with the Clinton we
know: the one demanding $225,000 or more for a 90-minute appearance while
bemoaning the excesses of the top 1 percent, the Clinton who criticizes big
banks while she and her husband make millions from them."
HILLARY HAS ALWAYS LOVED THE SMELL OF OBAMA'S CORRUPT BANKSTER CRONIES!

Hillary Clinton and secret Swiss bank accounts
Hillary Clinton and secret Swiss bank accounts
By Patrick Martin
31 July 2015
A lengthy report in the Wall Street Journal Thursday details Hillary Clinton’s actions while US secretary of state, on behalf of the Swiss banking giant UBS. The bank reciprocated by means of large contributions to the Clinton Foundation and a fat paycheck for Bill Clinton to participate in a question-and-answer session with UBS executives.The article examines the type of exchange of services for cash payment that is standard operating procedure for capitalist politicians and their corporate masters worldwide. The only unusual aspect of the transactions is the detailed record, supplied in part thanks to the publication of US State Department cables from Switzerland by the whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks.
In 2008, an American employee of the bank, working in Switzerland, revealed that UBS had thousands of US customers who had opened accounts to avoid paying US taxes. The bank signed a consent agreement in 2009, agreeing to pay a $780 million fine and give the names of 250 account holders. But the IRS was pressing for a broader disclosure—the names of US citizens who held 52,000 numbered accounts worth an estimated $18 billion.
At Clinton’s first meeting with her Swiss counterpart, Micheline Calmy-Rey, there was a list of pressing issues, several relating to Iran, where the Swiss embassy has represented US interests since 1979. The Obama administration wanted Switzerland to accept some Guantanamo detainees, to curtail business by a Swiss-based energy company in Iran, and to intervene on behalf of a US journalist detained in Iran. The Swiss government, serving as the political agent of the Swiss banks, wanted to curb the forced disclosure of information by UBS.
A deal was worked out. In return for Swiss action on its concerns, the US government agreed to a legal settlement with UBS that limited disclosure to information on 4,450 accounts, less than 10 percent of the 52,000 sought by the IRS.
It was at this point that the arrangement moved beyond the routine horse-trading between capitalist governments, into direct financial kickbacks.
UBS began to step up its donations to the Clinton Foundation, from less than $60,000 through 2008 to more than $600,000 in total by the end of 2014.
The Journal report continues: “The bank also joined the Clinton Foundation to launch entrepreneurship and inner-city loan programs, through which it lent $32 million. And it paid former president Bill Clinton $1.5 million to participate in a series of question-and-answer sessions with UBS Wealth Management Chief Executive Bob McCann, making UBS his biggest single corporate source of speech income disclosed since he left the White House.”
The newspaper then adds the disclaimer, “There is no evidence of any link between Mrs. Clinton’s involvement in the case and the bank’s donations to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, or its hiring of Mr. Clinton.”
But of course, no such link is required in the elevated circles in which the Clintons move. Rarely is it a matter of cash in envelopes. Actions on behalf of corporate benefactors and expressions of “gratitude” and “support” follow like night follows day.
UBS officials vociferously denied any such crass exchange. “Any insinuation that any of our philanthropic or business initiatives stems from support received from any current or former government official is ludicrous and without merit,” a bank spokeswoman told the Journal .
By 2012, a UBS-sponsored program it called Elevating Entrepreneurs was listed by the Clinton Foundation as one of its most important projects, featuring 11 appearances by Bill Clinton with former President George W. Bush playing the role of second banana at a number of locations, for an undisclosed fee.
Given the Journal ’s hostility to Clinton and the Democratic Party, there is little doubt that the newspaper’s decision to publish the report was politically motivated and intended to damage the frontrunner for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination. The facts uncovered, however, are nonetheless damning.
It should also be pointed out that Rupert Murdoch, the billionaire who owns the Journal and dozens of other media properties, including Fox News, is a longtime practitioner of the tax avoidance that Swiss banks like UBS facilitate. Murdoch has changed his citizenship from Australia to Great Britain to the United States to further the expansion of his corporate empire by taking advantage of favorable tax treatment.
As for Hillary Clinton, the report on UBS is only a further demonstration of her decades of hobnobbing with the bankers and billionaires.
One of the grosser expressions of this was reported earlier this week by Politico.com, which detailed Bill and Hillary Clintons’ attendance at the 2005 wedding (his third) of billionaire Donald Trump to Slovenian model Melania Knauss, at Trump’s Palm Beach estate.
According to this account, based on tabloid reports of the $1 million celebrity-studded event, the groom wore a black Brioni tuxedo, while the bride “wore a $200,000 Christian Dior dress, replete with 300 feet of satin, 1,500 crystals and pearls and a 13-foot, 50-pound train. The strapless gown reportedly took 1,000 hours to make. The reception and after-party at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago mansion featured song and dance facilitated by Tony Bennett and Billy Joel; lobster, caviar and filet mignon; and a 5-foot-tall wedding cake covered with buttercream frosting and 3,000 roses made of white icing.”
Trump is today leading in polls for the Republican presidential nomination. Ten years ago he called himself a Democrat, praised Hillary Clinton extravagantly and donated to her campaigns. This history only demonstrates the vanishingly small differences between the Democrats and Republicans, both controlled lock, stock and barrel by the financial oligarchy.

HILLARY CLINTON: DEDICATED SERVANT TO
THE 1%, OBAMA’S CRIMINAL CRONY BANKSTERS and DISCIPLE of OBAMA-CLINTONOMICS for
the super-rich.
The central aim of Clinton’s speech
was to reassure the American financial oligarchy that, despite her occasional
lukewarm denunciations of corporate criminality and social inequality, she is a
right-wing, pro-business defender of Wall Street.
The speech makes clear that a Clinton
presidency will pursue the same pro-Wall Street policies of the Obama
administration, seeking to expand the fortunes of the super-rich at the expense
of the great majority of society, while invoking “fairness” and “equality” as
window dressing.
REALITY CHECK ON HILLARY’S PHONY POPULIST CRAP… IT’S
ABOUT LIKE HER PHONY CHARITY!
EXCLUSIVE: Video shows Hillary Clinton boarding
private jet just hours after launching global-warming push – and she's using a FRENCH
aircraft that burns 347 gallons of fuel every hour!
- Distinctive French-built Dassault Falcon 900B airplane was spotted
in Des Moines, Iowa Monday afternoon, with Hillary Clinton climbing the
stairs
- An aide held a giant umbrella over her head so her hair didn't get
wet
- The 19-seater jet whooshed Clinton from Iowa to New Hampshire with
the ink still drying on her presidential campagn's climate change agenda
- Plane burns 347 gallons of fuel per hour and costs $5,850 per hour
to rent
- Its itineraries are secret because the owner has asked the Federal
Aviation Administration to withhold flight plans from the public

“At

better than Obama’s showing in the 2012 election with the same group.”

“By the time of Bill
Clinton’s election in 1992, the Democratic Party had completely repudiated its
association with the reforms of the New Deal and Great Society periods. Clinton
gutted welfare programs to provide an ample supply of cheap labor for the rich
(WHICH NOW MEANS OPEN BORDERS AND NO E-VERIFY!), including a growing layer of
black capitalists, and passed the 1994 Federal Crime Bill, with its notorious
“three strikes” provision that has helped create the largest prison population
in the world.”

“Calling income and wealth inequality the "great
moral issue of our time," Sanders laid out a sweeping, almost unimaginably
expensive program to transfer wealth from the richest Americans to the poor and
middle class. A $1 trillion public works program to create "13 million
good-paying jobs." A $15-an-hour federal minimum wage. "Pay
equity" for women. Paid sick leave and vacation for everyone. Higher taxes
on the wealthy. Free tuition at all public colleges and universities. A
Medicare-for-all single-payer health care system. Expanded Social Security
benefits. Universal pre-K.” WASHINGTON

REALITY CHECK ON HILL$$$ and BILL$$$
Hillary Clinton’s Global Greed
How many times did she sellout America to
fill her bottomless pockets?
Another
possible explanation is that the Clintons don't believe voters will really care
that much. The renting
of the Lincoln Bedroom to people who gave $5.4 million to the Democratic
National Committee in 1995 and 1996 did no lasting damage to Bill's approval
ratings. Neither did the 1996 fundraising scandal involving illegal foreign
donations, which the Los Angeles Times reported on just before the president
easily won a second term.

The former
president of the United States agreed to accept a lifetime achievement award at
the June 2014 event after Ms. Nemcova offered a $500,000 contribution to the
Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation. The donation, made late last year
after the foundation sent the charity an invoice, amounted to almost a quarter
of the evening’s net proceeds — enough to build 10 preschools in Indonesia.

Clinton Foundation Put On Watch List Of Suspicious
‘Charities’
“This
decision wasn’t made because of the Clinton Foundation’s remarkably lucrative
sideline as a uranium superstore for Russian strongmen, but because its
finances are opaque and dishonest, and because such a tiny amount of the money
it rakes in actually goes to charitable endeavors. “The Clinton family’s
mega-charity took in more than $140 million in grants and pledges in 2013 but
spent just $9 million on direct aid,” notes the New York Post. “The
group spent the bulk of its windfall on administration, travel, and salaries
and bonuses, WITH THE FATTEST PAYOUTS GOING TO FAMILY FRIENDS.”
Hillary has declared bankster
looting will see even greater rewards from her administration!
“In reality, the settlement falls
far short of holding JPMorgan accountable for its fraudulent sale of
mortgage-backed assets, which netted the bank tens of billions of dollars in
profits while exacerbating the sub-prime mortgage crash that led to over ten
million foreclosures in the US and a global economic downturn that thrust many
millions more into unemployment and poverty.”
