Something's rotten in Clinton World: Two more Clinton cash scandals
from Barnabas on 06/09/2015 09:41 PMhttp://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2015/06/08/two-new-clinton-cash-scandals.html
Two new reports from the Clinton Chronicles demand attention. One involves an anti-gay church in an impoverished African country that gave up to $10 million to the Clinton Foundation.
The London Daily Mail reports that the Cameroon Baptist Convention believes that being gay "contradicts God's purpose" and likens homosexuality to the Devil.
The church only has about 100,000 members, so where did it get so much money? And why is it shipping millions to the Clintons when Cameroon is one of the poorest countries on Earth, with child labor a scourge and only one doctor for every 5,000 people? Life expectancy is reported as 55.
Moreover, Cameroon is extremely corrupt, with human-rights organizations claiming that criminal suspects, gays and political activists are routinely tortured.
The second scandal involves a Clinton spinoff in Sweden that collected $26 million in donations while Sweden was trying to persuade Hillary Clinton's State Department not to sanction major national firms doing business with Iran. The Washington Times broke the story and says the spinoff was never disclosed to federal ethics officials, "even though one of its largest sources of donations was a Swedish government-sanctioned lottery."

4 things we know about the secretive Bilderberg Group and 1 thing we'll never know
The secretive meeting brings together big international business and top-level government

The Bilderberg Group has long been the subject of speculation. But what do we really know about the secretive international meetings between top politicians and bosses?
We know where the meetings are held
The location of the meetings is now public. Last year, the Danish capital of Cophenhagen was the venue of choice.
This year, the world's elites will travel to the Interalpen-Hotel Tyrol in the Austrian Alps.
We know who attends them
Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls (left) and Chancellor George Osborne appearing on BBC One's The Andrew Marr Show The group releases a list of attendees. From the UK this year George Osborne and Ed Balls are attending.
Other people going to the 2015 meet-up include José Barroso, the former EU Commission President, and executives from firms including Google, BP, Shell, and Deutsche Bank.
We know what's on the agenda
Greece's troubles continue Prior to meetings the group releases broad subject areas for debate. This year, all we know is that they'll be discussing "Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Chemical Weapons Threats, Current Economic Issues, European Strategy, Globalisation, Greece, Iran, Middle East, NATO, Russia, Terrorism, United Kingdom, USA, US Elections".
A lot of these subjects hints are very broad-ranging. 'United Kingdom', for instance, could be a reference to the Brexit, the recent elections, or both.
They take security very seriously
Austrian Police officers check cars near the town of Telfs Austrian Police officers check cars near the town of Telfs The area around the meetings is put into complete lockdown. There is no need to rely on private security: national governments of host countries cooperate fully and provide police protection.
This year's summit starts on Thursday but already a zone around the Interalpen-Hotel Tyro has been established by Austrian police with security checks on vehicles entering and exiting the area.
Arrests have been made at previous meetings, including of journalists trying to find out what is going on.
But... we don't know what was said
People who attend the events do not, as a rule, talk about the specifics of what was discussed. This includes politicians whose job is to represent their constituents.
There are no minutes taken of the meetings, and no reports are made of any conclusions reached. No votes are taken and no policies proscribed. Journalists trying to interview participants at meetings have previously been arrested.
The specifics of most international summits and meetings tend to be fairly opaque, but some public announcement is usually made as to conclusions reached.
Not so with the Bilderberg Group; the global establishment departs as quietly as it arrives.
Government kills
