PAY-TO-PLAY BRIBE SUCKING HILLARY CLINTON, GOOGLE and RED CHINA... What a partnership!



THE CLINTONS AND RED CHINA:

A MONEY MAKING TRAITORSHIP!

"Ask Jeff Sessions about the charges.  Money was flowing into the Clinton Foundation from all over the world, disguised, rerouted through a Canadian charity, all to obscure its origins."


Hillary Clinton’s Emails Were Sent to Gmail Address Similar to Name of Chinese Company

August 15, 2019 Updated: August 16, 2019


All but four of the 30,490 emails from Hillary Clinton’s unauthorized email server were forwarded to a private Google email address featuring a name similar to a Chinese company, according to documents released by a Senate committee on Aug. 15.
Virtually every email that was sent to and from the Clinton-email server was forwarded to “carterheavyindustries@gmail.com,” which raised concerns that a foreign actor gained access to Clinton’s emails after an intelligence community inspector general (ICIG) investigator searched Google for “Carter Heavy Industries” and came up with a result for Shandong Carter Heavy Industry Co., Ltd, according to the documents (pdf).
Shandong Carter Heavy Industry is a Chinese manufacturer of excavators and heavy machinery. The company did not respond to a request for comment.
Frank Rucker, the ICIG investigator, and Jeanette McMillian, an ICIG attorney, told the FBI about the anomaly on Feb. 18, 2016, at a meeting which included Peter Strzok, who had just taken over as the section chief heading the investigation. Rucker told Congress that Strzok was “aloof and dismissive” and didn’t ask many questions.
Strzok has since gained notoriety for text messages he exchanged with FBI attorney Lisa Page, with whom he was having an extramarital affair. The pair expressed bias against then-candidate Donald Trump and in favor of Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign.
McMillian told Congress that her understanding of the Carter Heavy Industries email address was that it was a “drop box” to which the emails from the Clinton server were sent in real time.
“Even if you didn’t address an email to this address, the email went to it anyway,” McMillian said.
Rucker told Congress that it appeared that the Carter Heavy Industries email address was inserted into Clinton’s server “based on his reading of the metadata.” Rucker was also concerned because he reviewed an email in which Clinton aide Huma Abedin and Abedin’s husband, Anthony Weiner, discuss how Weiner’s account was possibly hacked by a political opponent who ended up receiving copies of all of his emails.
The investigator told Congress that it appears that the Carter Heavy Industries email was inserted into the routing table of Clinton’s server, but that he could only be sure if he examined the server, which he did not have access to. There could be an alternative explanation as to why the email address was in virtually every message, Rucker said.
McMillian and Rucker were interviewed by the Senate Finance and Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committees on Dec. 4, 2018, in response to media reports that cited anonymous sources claiming that China gained access to Clinton’s emails. The committees released unclassified versions of those transcripts along with several sets of supporting documents on Aug. 14.
The documents include several emails from Clinton and her staffers with message metadata showing the Carter Heavy Industries email address as a recipient.

Inspector General’s Inquiry

Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz was aware of the ICIG’s referral to the FBI but did not address it in his 568-page report on the FBI and DOJ handling of the Clinton-email inquiry. Horowitz had promised Congress a year ago to look into and report on what the FBI did to investigate the matter. The newly released documents include the results of Horowitz’s inquiry in the form of an April 9, 2019, letter to senators Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.)
In the letter, Horowitz and Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson write that the Carter Heavy Industries email account was created by Platte River Networks employee Paul Combetta, who managed Clinton’s email server. Combetta allegedly created the Carter Heavy Industries email on Aug. 20, 2012. Combetta then used the email as a “dummy email” in order to transfer messages archived on Clinton’s second private server to the Platte River Networks server in early 2014.
What Combetta did with the email account between 2012 and 2014 and who else had access to it before and after the transfer remains a mystery. Neither the DOJ nor the ICIG inspector generals provide any details on whether the FBI ever examined the matter.
Combetta’s use of this email account is addressed in Horowitz’s report, although it is referred to as a “dummy email” instead of revealing the actual address. Horowitz and Atkinson do not explain how Combetta came to pick the email address. Combetta’s lawyer told Horowitz that the Carter Heavy Industries email was a made-up name and that Combetta had no connection to Shandong Carter Heavy Industry Co., Ltd.
Combetta, through an attorney, refused to be interviewed by the DOJ inspector general about the matter, according to the letter. He also said he had no documents responsive to subpoena about the issue.
Horowitz wrote that his office did not find any evidence to contradict the claims of Combetta’s lawyer.
“Accordingly, other than the similarity discussed above between the dummy email address and the name of a Chinese company identified by the former ICIG analyst and former Inspector General McCullough during a Google search, the ICIG and the DOJ OIG are unaware of any information that links Combetta or the dummy email address that he created with the Chinese government or a Chinese-owned company,” Horowitz and Atkinson wrote.
Correction: the headline and text of the article have been adjusted to more accurately reflect the source documents. The name of the Chinese company involved, Shandong Carter Heavy Industry Ltd., came up in a Google search by ICIG investigator Frank Rucker, who became concerned that a foreign actor gained access to Hillary Clinton’s emails.

GRIFTER AND PHONY CHARITY FOUNDATION FRAUDSTER HILLARY CLINTON’S LONG SERVICE TO AMERICA’S MOST EVIL BANKSTERS


The judge found these releases, together with the publication of Clinton’s secret speeches to Wall Street banks, in which she pledged to be their representative, were “matters of the highest public concern.” They “allowed the American electorate to look behind the curtain of one of the two major political parties in the United States during a presidential election.”

“Clinton also failed to mention how he and Hillary cashed in after his presidential tenure to make themselves multimillionaires, in part by taking tens of millions in speaking fees from Wall Street bankers.”

Is it a signal that she's back in the game because she's selling her president-ability to the world's global billionaire crowd and laying the groundwork for more funds?  There are all kinds of ways for foreign billionaires to get money to the U.S. without consequences, after all.  What's more, it's pretty much the biggest base of support she has, which is at least one reason why she lost the 2016 election.

“The couple parlayed lives supposedly spent in “public service”
into admission into the upper stratosphere of American wealth, with incomes in the top 0.1 percent bracket. The source of this vast wealth was a political
machine that might well be dubbed “Clinton, Inc.” This consists essentially of
a seedy money-laundering operation to ensure big business support for the
Clintons’ political ambitions as well as their personal fortunes.
*
The basic components of the operation are lavishly paid speeches to Wall Street and Fortune 500 audiences, corporate campaign contributions, and donations to the ostensibly philanthropic Clinton Foundation.”

"But what the Clintons do is criminal because they do it wholly at the expense of the American people. And they feel thoroughly entitled to do it: gain power, use it to enrich themselves and their friends. They are amoral, immoral, and venal. Hillary has no core beliefs beyond power and money. That should be clear to every person on the planet by now."  ----  Patricia McCarthy - AMERICANTHINKER.com

THE DEMOCRAT PARTY’S BILLIONAIRES’ GLOBALIST EMPIRE requires someone as ruthlessly dishonest as Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama to be puppet dictators.

1.     Globalism: Google VP Kent Walker insists that despite its repeated rejection by electorates around the world, “globalization” is an “incredible force for good.”

2.     Hillary Clinton’s Democratic party: An executive nearly broke down crying because of the candidate’s loss. Not a single executive expressed anything but dismay at her defeat.

3.   Immigration: Maintaining liberal immigration in the U.S is the policy that Google’s executives discussed the most.

HILLARY CLINTON’S GLOBALIST VISION:

SURRENDER OF OUR BORDERS WITH NARCOMEX AND SUCKING IN GLOBAL BRIBES FOR THE PHONY CLINTON FOUNDATION


Even though it has gone virtually unreported by Corporate media, Breitbart News has extensively documented the Clintons’ 
longstanding support for “open borders.” Interestingly, as the Los Angeles Times observed in 2007, the Clinton’s praise for 
globalization and open borders frequently comes when they are 
speaking before a wealthy foreign audiences and donors.

Why Trade With China Is Not Free

Chinese regime rigs the game to its advantage; Trump administration takes a tough stance
September 28, 2017 Updated: October 2, 2017
News Analysis
Trade is good. Whether domestic or international, it allows for the specialization of production, making it more efficient and thus saving resources. It emphasizes the strength of different people and different countries where everybody can bring their best products to the table, making up for weaknesses in other areas of a nation’s economy. It’s a win for everyone.
Trade with China is not like that. But is U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer correct in calling China “a threat to the world trading system”?
A comparison of trade with China to true trade shows that trading with China is not a win-win, in the spirit of classical economist David Ricardo. And previous U.S. administrations have contributed to the problem.
In a free trading system, private companies would trade in goods and services, and at the end of one year, one country would end up with a surplus and one country would end up with a deficit. In rare cases, the exports and imports would net out to zero, which is the best-case scenario.
So, let’s assume China has a $100 surplus with the United States after one year because it can produce widgets more cheaply, due to its lower labor costs (in reality, this deficit was $347 billion in 2016 for goods, and Chinese companies receive massive subsidies to dump their products on world markets).
In this scenario, Chinese private companies and citizens would end up having a balance of $100 that they could use to do two things. One, they could send it right back by buying higher-value American goods or services that they cannot yet produce with the same quality—like cars, for example—bringing the trade balance closer to zero again in the next period.
China is not about free trade. It has an official policy of exploiting trading partners for its advantage to achieve strategic autarky.
China gets to play out its strength producing widgets, and the United States gets to play out its strength producing higher value-added cars. Everybody wins.
If the Chinese don’t see any American products worth buying, they could choose to invest their dollar balance in the American capital markets. In a truly free system without much government interference, this would not be in U.S. Treasury notes, but in stocks, real estate, or even new greenfield projects.
Either way, this investment in the U.S. capital markets, either directly or indirectly via banks, would make the United States more productive as capital investment always does, and after a while and enough investment, more competitive U.S. products would lead to a turnaround in the trade deficit.
This system worked very well under the gold-standard of the belle epoque before World War I, an era of unprecedented growth in prosperity for everyone involved. It was helped by a sound money system and fixed exchange rates, which made capital investments easier by removing exchange rate risk.

Different Reality

Today’s reality is slightly different, which is why the United States had persistent deficits vis-à-vis China for more than a decade, resulting in a cumulative trade deficit of $3.36 trillion from 2001 to 2016.
Instead of Chinese companies and individuals buying American products or investing in private American capital, the Chinese regime is printing money to buy the US$100 earned by companies that are often state-owned and then putting this money into U.S. Treasury notes.
This interference in the marketplace has several major effects on the naturally balancing force of competition and free trade.
The Chinese exchange rate is artificially lowered because the central bank is printing money to buy the dollars from state merchants, driving up the price of the dollar. This makes American products less competitive in two ways.
This relatively basic analysis leaves aside the intricacies of the very raw deal former President Bill Clinton negotiated with China during its WTO accession.
First, it lowers the Chinese exchange rate, making foreign products more expensive. Second, it artificially stimulates economic activity and investment in China through lower interest rates, creating excess capacity and making Chinese products even cheaper than they normally would be just because of cheaper wages alone.
On the American side, instead of investment into private capital, trillions of dollars of the Chinese surplus go into funding the U.S. government’s debt. By all accounts and measures, the investment in U.S. Treasury bonds has failed to increase the productivity of the American economy enough to compete with Chinese products, leading to chronic and hidden unemployment, as the headline unemployment number doesn’t reflect the millions of people who have left the labor force.
So in the current setup, it’s more like two governments trading with each other and reaping the benefits, rather than private individuals and companies. The result has been persistent deficits on one side, and persistent surpluses on the other side.

Of course, the U.S. consumer has somewhat benefited through cheaper goods, but this is hardly consoling. Millions of jobs have been lost, and many of those cheaper goods have been bought with government money through welfare transfer payments.
The administrations of presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama did little to change this situation. Both administrations were dependent on the constant flow of Chinese trade dollars into an ever-expanding U.S. government debt. Under Bush, the debt grew by almost $5 trillion. Under Obama, it grew by more than $9 trillion. Some criticism and a small temporary tariff here and there did nothing to change these dynamics.
President Donald Trump’s small government and America-first stance explain the about-face in rhetoric, although so far tough action has been lacking. However, Trump has ordered an investigation into the Chinese regime’s intellectual property theft. and if the investigation finds systemic IP theft, this could result in the toughest penalties the United States has yet leveled on China’s trade practices.

Raw Deal

This relatively basic analysis leaves aside the intricacies of the very raw deal former President Bill Clinton negotiated with China during its WTO accession and the fact that China has been flaunting even these generous rules to make the situation for American companies and workers even worse.
According to WTO accession rules, China was supposed to bring down average tariffs on industrial goods to 8.9 percent and 15 percent for agricultural products until 2010, for example. However, the 2016 WTO tariff brochure indicates China still has an average tariff for all goods of 10 percent, compared to the United States’ tariff of 3.5 percent.
So even according to WTO rules, China has a huge competitive advantage over American products, given prevailing tariff rates alone.
In addition, despite its free-trade rhetoric, China officially has an innovation-mercantilist trade policy, as outlined in its “Made in China 2025 Strategy” and the “13th Five-Year Plan for Science and Technology.” These plans help make clear why Robert Lighthizer’s accusation that China is a threat to the world trade system isn’t so far off the mark.
“Chinese strategy is not just about mercantilism (limiting imports and boosting exports), it’s about autarky: becoming self-sufficient. The Chinese government has proven that it seeks autarky in many traditional industries, such as steel and shipbuilding, and now wants it in emerging industries such as aerospace, computers, and semiconductors, placing itself counter to the fundamental tenet of comparative advantage that underlies liberalized trade in the global economy,” the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation writes in its comprehensive report titled “Stopping China’s Mercantilism.”
To achieve complete autarky and domination in all industries, China engages in a wide variety of non WTO-compliant strategies: the acquisition of foreign technology enterprises, the forced transfer from foreign companies working in China of technology or intellectual property (IP), the theft of IP through spying and cyberhacking, and the denial or restrictions of foreign firms’ access to Chinese markets, to name a few.
Taking all of this together, the World Economic Forum surmises in its 2016 Enabling Trade report that China “remains one of the world’s closed markets,” ranking it 101 out of 136 countries for domestic market access.
China is not about free trade. It has an official policy of exploiting trading partners for its advantage to achieve strategic autarky. There is no reason to support this strategy of an openly hostile regime, and Lighthizer understands this.
“We must find other ways to defend our companies, workers, farmers, and indeed, our economic system. We must find ways to ensure our market-based economy prevails,” he said.
Now actions must follow words.
