Foundation Garments

In what Rush Limbaugh calls “a random act of journalism,” the New York Times has today published a very revealing article exposing much (but I’m sure not all) of the sleaze surrounding the Clinton Foundation.  This article outlines how this foundation has clearly become the sluice-way to Hillary’s run for Presidency in 2016 ... and an international belly-rubbing society in which world-wide movers and shakers get together to chew over global issues.

This sounds very much like a ballooned-out version of Bill Clinton’s role in the Democrat Leadership Council (aka, the New Democrats … see: Wikipedia Entry) in the late 1980s which helped propel him into the Presidency in 1992.  It also gets rather specific about the number of the Clinton acolytes who are sucking on the teats of this multi-million dollar non-profit sow … keeping this posse in caviar until such time as Hillary has announced for the Democrat imprimatur.

And it seems that, for all the money that the Clinton Foundation takes in, very little of it actually goes to the causes it professes.  Instead, other foundations and influence-seeking oligarchs are asked to donate to these causes under the aegis of the Clinton name.  The Times also mentions that this foundation is moving its headquarters to the Time-Life building in midtown Manhattan … so much for Bill Clinton’s previously-propounded pied a terre in Harlem.

I strongly recommend that you read this expose before it disappears from the Times white-board and its authors, Nicholas Confessore (great name!) and Amy Chozick are relegated to the secular arm … see: NY Times Article.  Oops, it's already been girdled ... instead read this same article by proxy at ... The UK Telegraph Article

I now also wonder if the IRS will revisit its granting of tax-exempt status to this obviously politically-motivated and self-serving foundation?  What do you think?

(A tip of the hat to my wife, Jeanette, for pointing out this article to me.)
