Try to imagine what media would be doing with this if, instead of the Clinton Foundation, the name were Trump.
Excerpted from Richard Pollock’s article at dailycaller.com:
A little known Swedish-Canadian oil and mining conglomerate human rights groups have repeatedly charged produces “blood minerals” is among the Clinton Foundation’s biggest donors, thanks to a $100 million pledge in 2007, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation has found.
“Blood minerals” are related to “blood diamonds,” which are allegedly mined in war zones or sold as commodities to help finance political insurgencies or despotic warlords.
When the Vancouver, Canada-based Lundin Group gave its $100 million commitment to the “Clinton Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiative,” the company had long been cutting deals with warlords, Marxist rebels, military strongmen and dictatorships in the war-torn African countries of Congo, Sudan and Ethiopia.
The Lundin Group reportedly cut a deal in 1997 with Congolese Marxist warlord Laurent Kabila, with a $50 million down payment toward $250 million they would give to the rebels in exchange for mining rights, according to according to U.N. Inspector Jason K. Stearns. Lundin eventually won majority rights to one of the country’s richest mineral veins.
A Swedish prosecutor, mirroring the views of human rights groups, once characterized the company as filled with “opportunistic, dictator-hugging businessmen,” a description the company has vigorously denied.
In accepting the $100 million, President Bill Clinton hailed Lundin’s contribution, saying “today’s generous support by the Lundin Group is to be applauded because it demonstrates the potential of this global initiative to capture the imagination and support of the mining sector.”
Are you at all surprised that a Clinton enterprise would accept big money from a bottom feeder like this. Not if you know the Clintons.
So where are our wonderful “neutral” mainstream media on this?
Nowhere, that’s where.
How much are our media attacking Hillary Clinton over this disgraceful money-graby by the Foundation which bears her name along with her husband and daughter?
Not at all, that’s how much.
And please remember that this is not – repeat, not – new information. The $100 million was reported last year by numerous venues. Click here to read Ben Shapiro’s writeup on it, along with other equally malodorous infusions of $$$, When you do, please note the date of the article: May 11th….but 2015, not 2016.
See, the thing is, mainstream media did report it at the time. But then carefully buried it on behalf of Queen Hillary, never to be unearthed again…or at least so they hoped.
Well here it is. Out there for anyone to see.
Will the same media demanding (with 100% justification) that Donald Trump make his finances known also demand an explanation of why Hillary Clinton’s Foundation accepted $100 million from Scumbag Central, AKA the Lundin Group? And what the Lundin Group got in return?
Don’t hold your breath waiting.
