1,100 donors
to a Canadian charity tied to Clinton Foundation remain secret
A charity affiliated with the
Clinton Foundation failed to reveal the identities of its 1,100 donors,
creating a broad exception to the foundation’s promise to disclose funding
sources as part of an ethics agreement with the Obama administration.
The number of undisclosed
contributors to the charity, the Canada-based Clinton Giustra Enterprise
Partnership, signals a larger zone of secrecy around foundation donors than was
previously known.
Details of the organization’s
fundraising were disclosed this week by a spokeswoman for the Canadian group’s
founder, mining magnate Frank Giustra.
The
Canadian group has received attention in recent days as a potential avenue for
anonymous Clinton Foundation donations from foreign business executives,
including some who had interests before the U.S. government while Hillary
Rodham Clinton was secretary of state.
The partnership, named in part
for Bill Clinton, sends much of its money to the New York-based Clinton
Foundation. Two of the partnership’s known donors — Giustra and another mining
executive, Ian Telfer — are featured in the soon-to-be-released book “Clinton
Cash” for their roles in a series of deals that resulted in Russia controlling
many uranium deposits around the world and in the United States.
With the foundation’s finances
emerging as an issue for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, a foundation
official this week defended the arrangement with the Giustra group, noting in a
blog post that Canadian law prevents charities in that country from disclosing
their donors without the donors’ permission.
The Canadian partnership has in
recent days begun to reach out to its 28 largest donors, each of whom gave
donations equivalent to at least $250,000 in U.S. dollars, to seek permission
to release their names, said a person familiar with the foundation, who was not
authorized to speak publicly about the matter.
The large number of undisclosed
supporters of a Clinton-affiliated charity raises new questions about the
foundation’s adherence to the 2008 ethics agreement it struck with the Obama
administration, which was designed to avoid conflicts of interest during
Hillary Clinton’s tenure at the State Department.
Former senator Richard G. Lugar
(Ind.), who as the senior Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
quizzed Hillary Clinton during her 2009 confirmation hearings about potential
conflicts stemming from foundation fundraising around the world, said Tuesday
that he considered such undisclosed donations to violate the spirit of the
ethics agreement.
“Clearly, there was an
expectation and a commitment that large donations to the Clinton Foundation
would be disclosed,” Lugar said via e-mail.
A spokeswoman for the Canadian
group said the majority of the 1,100 donors gave small, one-time gifts while
attending a 2008 fundraising gala.
A spokesman for the Clinton
Foundation said the agreement did not apply to the Canadian organization, which
is a separate charity based in Vancouver. The spokesman compared the group to
other major charities that provide funding to the Clinton Foundation but do not
themselves disclose all their donors, such as Partners in Health and the Nature
Conservancy.
Clintons' personal wealth intertwined with charity(1:50)
In an analysis of public records and
Clinton Foundation data, The Washington Post found that there was an overlap of
Bill and Hillary Clinton's charitable work and their growing personal wealth.

In the Sunday blog post, the
foundation’s acting chief executive, Maura Pally, said the arrangement was
“hardly an effort on our part to avoid transparency.”
However, the Giustra partnership
has been more intertwined with the Clintons’ $2 billion foundation than other
independent charities.
It uses both the Clinton name and
the logo of the Clinton Foundation. Giustra himself has given more than $30
million directly to the Clinton Foundation and sits on the organization’s
board. He has separately pledged $100 million to the Clinton Giustra Enterprise
Partnership, making him one of the foundation’s largest donors. Bruce Lindsey,
a longtime Clinton adviser who chairs the foundation board, also sits on the
board of the Canadian organization.
According to Canadian tax
filings, the Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership (CGEP) has spent nearly $30
million in current U.S. dollars since 2007; and nearly $25 million of that
spending has gone directly to the Clinton Foundation, a spokeswoman said.
Bill Clinton has also personally
raised funds for the group, including at the 2008 gala, where the Canadian
mining industry pledged millions for the effort.
“I love this guy, and you should
too,” Clinton said of Giustra that night, according to Toronto’s the Globe and
Mail newspaper.
A foundation official has said
the partnership was Giustra’s brainchild, born of his desire to join forces
with Bill Clinton to work to alleviate poverty around the world, particularly
in places where the mining industry had been present.
The partnership’s projects have
included funding thousands of cataract operations for local residents in Peru
and thousands more meals for starving children in Colombia, where Giustra has
many investments.
A spokeswoman said the
organization is active in Haiti, India, Peru, Colombia and El Salvador and is
exploring expanding in Mexico, South Asia and Africa.
In an interview, Giustra said his
group was not dependent on the Clintons.
“I’m not doing this because of
Bill Clinton,” Giustra said. “He loves what we’re doing with CGEP. But if for
some reason he walked away tomorrow, I would just rename it. Call it something
else and keep doing it, because I think we’re on to something really great.”
Giustra said many of the
organization’s other donors are people he has met through the mining industry,
where he has made his fortune, a community he saw as an untapped resource for
philanthropy.
“Every year, we come up with a
budget for CGEP programs,” he said. “And I make sure, by hook or by crook, that
that amount is there. It has to come from me or some other means.”
One controversial Clinton Giustra
partnership donor is a Canadian energy company that operates oil fields in
Colombia.
The company, Pacific Rubiales,
has been the subject of complaints to the State Department from organized labor
groups reporting alleged mistreatment of workers. Labor officials said that
repeated complaints to the State Department under Clinton and her successor
have not produced significant action. The counsel for Pacific Rubiales, Peter
Volk, denied the allegations, saying the complaints “stemmed from a rival union
to the one representing our employees.”
The company does not appear in
the Clinton Foundation’s published list of donors. But it has said in a news
release that it has given$3.5 million to the Clinton Giustra partnership.

HILLARY CLINTON: A
dedicated disciple of OBAMANOMICS – Why else would his banksters invest so much
in her???
“That her candidacy is announced without calling for
any particular policies underscores the fact that the election is not about the
American people deciding the course of policy, but rather the vetting of
candidates to serve the interest of the financial oligarchy.”
“There is, of course, no acknowledgment that Clinton was part
of an administration that oversaw and continues to oversee the greatest
transfer of wealth from the bottom to “those at the top” in US history.”

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.”
JUDICIAL WATCH:
STATE DEPT. DOCS REVEAL CONCERN ABOUT BILL CLINTON’S
ACTIVITIES WITH SAUDI DICTATORS
Hillary Clinton bellies with the 9-11 invading Saudi
dictatorship like Obama. She’s collected her bribes for pushing the Bush-Saudi
wars against Iraq and Obama smells the dirty Saudis loot coming for his
presidential libaray!
HOW TO BUY HILLARY
CLINTON: From selling overnights at the White House, she’s become a
multi-continent influence peddler.
“Hillary Clinton takes a course of action that benefits
those donors, in many cases, I think, outlined in the book, she is reversing
course on policy prescriptions.”
“Schweizer said he had found “a pattern of behavior…the
proof is, you look at a series of actions in which money flows to the Clintons,
either through speaking fees or Clinton Foundation donors.”
IMF PREDICTS THAT OBAMANOMICS and the GLOBAL LOOTING BY
OBAMA’S CRIMINAL CRONY BANKSTERS WILL SOON DESTROY THE AMERICAN ECONOMY.
The International Monetary Fund
warned Wednesday that the world economy would remain locked in a pattern of
slow growth, high unemployment and high debt for a prolonged period. The
forecast, contained in the organization’s updated World Economic Outlook (WEO),
marks a shift from previous economic projections in acknowledging that there is
little prospect of a return to the growth levels that prevailed prior to the
2008 Wall Street crash.
The document’s grim analysis
amounts to a tacit acknowledgement that the crisis ushered in nearly seven
years ago by the financial meltdown is of a historical and fundamental
character, and that the underlying problems in the global capitalist system
have not been resolved.
THE ASSAULT on the
AMERICAN MIDDLE-CLASS by the DEMOCRAT PARTY:
“By large margins, even in opinion
polls conducted by the corporate-controlled media, the American people support
sharp increases in taxes on the wealthy to fund social programs and provide
jobs for the unemployed; they oppose cuts in Social Security and Medicare and
view education, health care and other public services as basic rights; they
oppose government spying on the telephone and Internet usage of ordinary
Americans, as well as other police-state measures; and they oppose overseas
military interventions in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. The Democratic and Republican presidential candidates stand on the other
side of the barricades on all these issues.”
THE LOOTING OF AMERICA: BARACK OBAMA AND HIS CRONY
BANKSTERS set themselves on America’s pensions next!
The new aristocrats,
like the lords of old, are not bound by the laws that apply to the lower
orders. Voluminous reports have been issued by Congress and government panels
documenting systematic fraud and law breaking carried out by the biggest banks
both before and after the Wall Street crash of 2008.
Goldman
Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and every other major US bank have been
implicated in a web of scandals, including the sale of toxic mortgage
securities on false pretenses, the rigging of international interest rates and
global foreign exchange markets, the laundering of Mexican drug money, accounting
fraud and lying to bank regulators, illegally foreclosing on the homes of
delinquent borrowers, credit card fraud, illegal debt-collection practices,
rigging of energy markets, and complicity in the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme.
MUCH, MUCH MORE ON
OBAMA’S ECONOMIC CRIMES PERPETRATED ON BEHALF OF HIS CRONIES ON THE AMERICAN
MIDDLE-CLASS
One
government-organized settlement has followed another, utilizing “deferred
prosecution” deals and other gimmicks to allow Wall Street CEOs to get off
scot-free. All the banks have had to do is pay largely fictitious fines, much
of the nominal amount written off as tax credits.
