FOLLOW THE MONEY: HOW THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE FUNDS PROGRESSIVE ACTIVISTS

Government Accountability Institute is affiliated with the renowned investigative reporter, Peter Schweizer. Schweizer might have tipper the electoral scales in 2016 with "Clinton Cash". The following report was released in October 2016 and given that we have not had a slow news day since then, it has been largely ignored.

 The DOJ has created a system whereby they can legally extract monies from the private sector and redistribute the proceeds to third party organizations outside of the Congressional appropriations process, resulting in an extraordinary transfer of wealth. The Department circumvents Congress’s authority to tax and appropriate by use of technical legal gymnastics.

115 pages of ugliness.  The Obama Administration had more abuses of power than we could keep track of. Take a stroll down Memory Lane with the largest organized crime syndicate in American History.

Is Scott Pelley The King Of Fake News?

PELLEYNOCCIO

Perhaps not realizing that this would become a sensitive subject, "The New York Times" reported on this travesty (and probable multiple felonies) in 2015.

The headline on the website Pravda trumpeted President Vladimir V. Putin’s latest coup, its nationalistic fervor recalling an era when its precursor served as the official mouthpiece of the Kremlin: “Russian Nuclear Energy Conquers the World.”

The article, in January 2013, detailed how the Russian atomic energy agency, Rosatom, had taken over a Canadian company with uranium-mining stakes stretching from Central Asia to the American West. The deal made Rosatom one of the world’s largest uranium producers and brought Mr. Putin closer to his goal of controlling much of the global uranium supply chain.

But the untold story behind that story is one that involves not just the Russian president, but also a former American president and a woman who would like to be the next one.

At the heart of the tale are several men, leaders of the Canadian mining industry, who have been major donors to the charitable endeavors of former President Bill Clinton and his family. Members of that group built, financed and eventually sold off to the Russians a company that would become known as Uranium One.

Hurry, before they scrub the story.

From Newsbusters:

But Pelley’s bold assertion is highly misleading. It wasn’t Hillary who was alleged to have been paid for the Uranium, it was her husband and the family foundation. And there was not one, but two credible sources who found those connections.

As many would remember, these assertions were brought up in the book Clinton Cash, which was written by Peter Schweizer.  One of his earlier books, Throw Them All Out, opened the nation’s eyes to how members of Congress take advantage of their insider knowledge and position to enrich themselves. The book was so successful that Congress was forced to pass bill limited that ability, even though they later removed it.

 Scott Pelley is a chronic, habitual and malicious liar (and a bad liar at that). To borrow from his predecessor, "And that's the way it is."

Podesta's Russian Ruble Connection

Got to love those Dems. They love to accuse others of the crimes the commit.

Brace Yourself For The Media Counter-Attack

In 2008, Spike Lee appeared on a TV show (was it "Morning Joe"?) to pronounce the significance of Barack Obama's arrival BB: Before Barack. AB: After Barack.


 What seemed like brain dead blather would turn out to be strangely prophetic. Barack Obama changed America and not in a positive way. The change Obama promised would be destruction such as we had not thought possible.


 Barack Obama's one lasting accomplishment is the extinction of civil discourse. He did this largely by co-opting corrupt and corrupting and further-corruptible news media. Make no doubt about it, these were not Vestal Virgins that were defiled. These were whores with price tags and shrewd agents. Obama paid the tab and to this day, he still weaponizes the press.

 The revelations that a sitting president engaged in an ongoing, open-ended surveillance of a political rival based on spurious evidence would--in an era not that long ago--result in shock, outrage and ultimately the turning of the screws of justice. That was Before Barack. After Barack the media loyalists work overtime to spin the scandal in favor of the most corrupt president this country ever produced.

 False news is now the norm. We have already addressed the bogus Putin Stole The Election From Hillary narrative. In another era a real reporter like Peter Schweizer would shut their lying mouths:


  Bill and Hillary Clinton received large sums of money directly and indirectly from Russian officials while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State. Bill Clinton was paid a cool $500,000 (well above his normal fee) for a speech in Moscow in 2010. Who footed the bill? An investment firm in Moscow called Renaissance Capital, which boasts deep ties to Russian intelligence. The Clinton Foundation itself took money from Russian officials and Putin-connected oligarchs. They also took donations from: 

 Viktor Vekselberg, a Putin confidant who gave through his company, Renova Group

 Andrey Vavilov, a former Russian government official who was Chairman of SuperOx, a research company that was part of the “nuclear Cluster” at the Russian government’s Skolkovo research facility 

 Elena Baturina, the wife of the former Mayor of Moscow, who apparently gave them money through JSC Inteco, an entity that she controls 

Then there is the glaring fact that the Clinton Foundation also scored $145 million in donations from nine shareholders in a Canadian uranium company called Uranium One that was sold to the Russian government in 2010. The deal required the approval of several federal government agencies, including Hillary Clinton’s State Department. The deal allowed Rosatom, the Russian State Nuclear Agency, to buy assets that amounted to 20 percent of American uranium. Rosatom, by the way controls the Russian nuclear arsenal.

 Equally troubling: some of those donations were hidden and not disclosed by the Clintons. President Obama required the Clinton Foundation to disclose all contributions as a condition of Hillary Clinton becoming Secretary of State. But that did not happen. The only reason the hidden donations ever came to light is because we uncovered them by combing through Canadian tax records. 

Obama has ushered in an era of post-factualism. They tell us that Jeff Sessions perjured himself when clearly he did no such thing.

We are told that Sessions needs to recuse himself from investigating Russian influence and then told that his recusal is an admission of guilt.

We are told that Obama's spying on Trump could only have resulted from probable cause and therefore Trump is guilty of unending criminality.

We are told that President Trump has served up unfounded claims that President Obama spied on him and we click to other sites that lay out detailed timelines for the "investigation."

Many of us thought the Obama-IRS scandal would be a high water mark in a tsunami of corruption. We also thought the Susan Rice Benghazi string of falsehoods might unravel what really went on at that backwater consulate. No and no. We cannot assign all the credit to Anderson Cooper and "The New York Times" but let's hope Barry and Hillary both sent them fruit baskets. The cover-ups could not have happened without you, Coop.

Ya'all ready for some spin? The world might view members of the American news media as overpaid simpletons and lazy fabulists but they will work diligently to defend their overlords. Brace yourself for their counter-attack.

Book Review: "Do As I Say (Not As I Do): Profiles In Liberal Hypocrisy by Peter Schweizer

This guy hits a nerve with the reactionary Left. I plead fair use to lift this copyrighted review from "Publishers Weekly" via Amazon.

Note the Left gets quotation marks. Is that because it is a fictitious entity? And the summary statement that this appeals to ad hominem blogggers. Should I take that statement personally? If this annoys "Publishers Weekly" it can't be all bad. 

And the 78 1-star reviews from Occupy Amazon is yet another ringing endorsement.

From Publishers Weekly

Working with a broadly inclusive pantheon of "the Left" that places Ralph Nader and Barbra Streisand on equal footing with Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton, Schweizer (The Bushes: Portrait of a Dynasty) suggests that liberalism's heroes conduct their lives in ways that prove their philosophy to be "ultimately self-defeating, self-destructive, and unworkable." While acknowledging that conservatives can be high-profile hypocrites as well, Schweizer employs a double standard, arguing that "when conservatives betray their publicly stated principles, they harm only themselves and their families," but when liberals misbehave, they harm their principles first and foremost. Sometimes his research uncovers significant contradictions, as when Schweizer points out that Noam Chomsky, who tends to demonize the military establishment, wrote his first book, Syntactic Structures, with grants from the U.S. Army, the Air Force and the Office of Naval Research. But many of his charges are egregiously hyperbolic, as when he suggests that Cornel West is a "segregationist" because he bought a home in a largely Caucasian suburb. Schweizer clearly knows the limitations of his argument, since he backpedals from many of his most damning statements in his closing remarks. For all its revelations, in the end, this volume reads less like a critique of liberal philosophy than a catalogue of ammunition for ad hominem bloggers. (Oct. 25) 

Even if you are in tune and disgusted with the anti-gun crusaders who employ private armies, jet-setting green warriors, Warren Buffets and Barack Obamas advocating for increased taxes because they pay taxes at a lower rate than their secretaries and then doing back flips to assure that they pay taxes at a lower rate than their secretaries, this book will open your eyes. 

Ralph Nader and Michael Moore have succeeded in creating public personas that could not differ more from their high on the hog lifestyles. Green advocate Barbra Streisand goes shopping in an RV because she will not use a store--even an upscale store--restroom. The Kennedys have more oil than J R Ewing...If you love ad hominem attacks, this book is full of them. 

"Do As I Say..." is an ad hominem-loving blogger's dream. Written in 2006, it is still valid and fresh. 

I can't wait to read "Clinton Cash...." which will come out May 5. In the meantime, there are plenty of ad hominem attacks to warm the soul. Peter Schweizer is great.
