#CLINTONGATE - The Clinton Foundation

First off I'd like to say that I am neither a Law, Economics, nor Political Science graduate - this topic is an ambitious reach for a layman like myself to grasp. I will exercise to the best of my ability at highlighting the key points of interest.
What triggered my interest to research The Clinton Foundation was via a recommendation by an 'alleged FBI insider' discussing questions raised on 4chan/pol/. https://sli.mg/VrkHUP To the extend of what was discernible, I felt there was some credibility to many of the answers given. I suspect a different user imitated the original informant once the thread was relocated (user: 'bTgVpkEd' represented later by user: vMmUnw CH) - take from it what you will with a grain of salt, personally I felt it was worth taking the time to research further. Sure enough, one rabbit hole after another, I realized this was something much larger than I anticipated - a web that leads to the very foundation and structure of organized crime as a global enterprise in collusion.
This is a review of both the circumstantial evidence and criminal negligence in relation to both, The Clinton Foundation, and the violation of proper conduct outlining the handling of classified national defense intelligence information.

To begin, If you are not familiar with the basics of what a Foundation 'is', please see the following for definitions.

It's not exactly 'breaking news' catching wind of off-shore tax invasion scandals, but unlike previous examples, The Clinton Foundation sets a new precedent of laundering - a hybrid of marketing policy decisions, insider trading, and contract bribery to name a few. Their donors and investors spread to the extreme ends of the Justice spectrum - From now FBI Director James Comey, previously acting on the Board of Directors for HSBC and Vice President for Lockheed Martin, to Billionaire Gilbert Chagoury - notoriously known as the 'Kingpin' of corruption in Nigeria - and convicted of laundering hundreds of millions of dollars.

To paint a picture of the donations the Clinton Foundation has received, below is a 'mind map' categorized by donation amount. Data has been gathered from the Clinton Foundation website: https://www.clintonfoundation.org/contributors

Dig into these names, organisations and foundations. At a glace you can see Soros head foundation "Open Society Institute" - now operating as "Open Society Foundation". But lets skip the obvious for now.

Lets look at Canadian mining giant, Frank Giustra of The Redcliffe Foundation. Frank was seeking a uranium mining concession from the government of Kazakhstan, and was being met with local resistance and competition. He then travels with Bill Clinton to Kazakhstan, and two days later receives the mining concession contract. The Redcliffe Foundation then donated $31 Million to The Clinton Foundation shortly after signing the deal.

How about the EKTA Foundation? Founded by Ashok Mahbubani - you might of heard of his name from the 'USA vs Ashok Mahbubani' Case for charges of Drug Trafficking and Laundering - http://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/ca11/10-11782/201011782-2011-03-27.html

How about Jeffery Epstein? His quite popular now in light of #PizzaGate. He also donated $25,000 to WJC, LLC (Bill Clintons shell company) via COUQ Foundation (Epstein Foundation) in July, 2006. The following year he was "arrested following a complaint he sexually abused a 14-year-old teenager in Florida"
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article40960.htm

In a leak of financial documents of HSBC Swiss, "$81 million from seven wealthy international donors flowed to the Clinton Foundation through controversial Swiss tax-free HSBC accounts maintained in Geneva". The same bank where Jeffery Epstein held an account of $3.5 million in his own name.

For now I'd like to turn the attention to the two companies that Bill and Hillary set up in Delaware - WJC LLC, and ZFS Holdings LLC. Bill's company WJC LLC, are exempt from listing business assets and employees, also "was not legally required to report its existence in campaign finance reports". It's stated function is to transfer payments to Bill for 'consultant work'.
http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2015-05-26/what-we-know-about-wjc-llc-bill-clinton-s-consulting-company
The second company is ZFS Holdings, LLC (Hillary's shell company) reportedly funneled through, over $10 Million in funds from book sales and speeches. But there is something rather odd about it all, and it's the fact that both these two companies, and three more under the Clinton Global Initiative, all seem to be registered to the same address... along with about 250,000 other companies.

"1209 North Orange Street in Wilmington is a nondescript two-storey building yet is home to Apple, American Airlines, Walmart and presidential candidates".

To further illustrate the circumstantial evidence surrounding the Clintons, I'd now like to highlight the film version of NY times best selling author, Peter Schweizer with his book 'Clinton Cash'.

The deciding factor is not the Judges verdict as it temporally seems. Ultimately it's a matter of how important is Justice to the wider community. An Informed public sets the relative benchmark to which whistle-blowers can use for protection and plausible deniability. The better informed we are collectively, will equate to a higher probability of Justice.

I thank you for your time reading, and I hope my attempt to shed light on this issue has been somewhat valuable to your understanding.

For anyone who wishes to dig deeper, I have recently come across a 400+ page 'info dump' that you can find here: https://memedump.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/pdf-backup-10-4.pdf

Now this is a great post! Thank you @michael.collett for sharing this with the community. I agree, that once you start looking into the clintons and the scandals it is rabbithole! The pizzagate issue has background info going back decades to other scandals, and those just got buried by the media. Not this time!

We started PizzaGate-Trail to attract others from social media outlets that have been censored, and give a place for discussion. Right now, we are organizing to get out to those outlets and bring in those displaced by censorship. You can join us there and place your posts for curation there as well. This will be an interesting week for sure.

Outstanding info.
