While reading the British news which is somewhat more revealing than US news, I came across a story about Bill Clinton working on behalf of a Jewish gambling/offshore money/real estate/speculators in oil and metals run a fund raiser to help save humanity from people who caused the real estate bubble, drove up the price of oil and other commodities and destroy families by enabling gambling addictions. Right. Anyways, as befits a fundraiser sponsored by these creeps, it was horrible, dirty and nasty. And the rich were very pissed off being treated like ordinary people. So they are demanding their ‘donations’ back.
The tax haven fundraising scam game rolls endlessly onwards. They help few and mostly spend money on themselves. I have documented this in the past. For example, the earthquake in Haiti caused a tsunami of fund raising by these sorts of creepy vampires and virtually nothing ended up helping the Haitian people who still struggle to live in the most precarious housing years later. These ‘charities’ hire the spawn of the rich so they can collect an income while doing virtually nothing and are used as an excuse to throw expensive parties for the rich while under cover of being nice to the poor. It is a scam. A cynical and quite evil scam.
As per usual, the grifter #1 floats around the world asking rich Jews to give him money to host tax-free parties for them: Bill Clinton ‘worst party’ guests should get refunds after ‘shambolic’ event – Telegraph
Bill Clinton ‘worst party’ guests should get refunds after ‘shambolic’ event – TelegraphThe Clinton Foundation Millennium Network fund-raising event, held on Tuesday night in central London, was a “total shambles”, according to the Reuben Foundation (RF).
Here is the home page for these guys: Reuben Brothers – Untitled Page

Foundation officials were “frankly embarrassed” to be linked to “such a poorly run” event, which had been organised to “encourage the next generation to address global challenges”.
They added that guests should receive refunds to the event, in which a standard ticket cost between £125 and up to £1,000 for those who wanted to meet the politician…The fund-raiser has been described as the “worst party ever” by angry guests, some of whom were forced to wait outside for up to 90 minutes while high profile attendees were admitted inside.When they were eventually admitted complaints were aired by guests who reported that the underground venue “stank”, perspiration was “dripping off the walls” while the rooms “chaotic” and overcrowded to even see the former president….
Mr Stone also attacked the event’s planner, Steven Moffett, whom appeared to be “totally out of his depth” while the foundation’s treatment was poor and it did not even get thanked.The Foundation has been known to hold “some of the best events”, including a Haiti earthquake fund-raiser, which has been described as one of the world’s “most glamorous galas”.
So, their main complaint is, they didn’t have sufficiently swank surroundings, expensive food and fabulous entertainment? HAHAHA. These glamorous galas are all subsidized by the taxpayers because the ‘charities’ supposedly are giving money to poor people. But like the medieval Catholic Church, the money seems to not make it very far down the social scale and generally all ends up inside the wallets of the rich.
I keep saying, the people who are screaming about the end of humanity seems to be also the people who think jet setting all over the planet and throwing parties and rock star events for themselves shows us they are not even slightly serious. The game is to clothe one’s selfish interests in high moral good so that the excuse to jet set to a wild, sybaritic party is to save humanity from destruction, no?
People confuse my condemnation of this sort of garbage with being a ‘climate denier’ or ‘racist’ or some other negative connotation when what I am doing is condemning people who manipulate others with FAKE charities, FAKE solutions to global warming and FAKE anti-racism. Racism is bad. Antisemitism is bad. Jews beating up blacks in Israel while screaming about sending them home…is bad racism and the refusal to report this in America is a crime. Global warming will not be fixed by jet-setting billionaires creating a carbon pollution derivatives game, either. This is far from a solution: it makes everything much worse.
On and on it goes: the elites are out to party and have fun at taxpayer expense while pretending to save humanity and this should be roundly denounced. They could easily simply donate their money without any interlopers, entertainments or games and be done with it. Their refusal to do this is significant so I have to assume, they do all of this to have fun, not save anyone at all. And 90% of these donations don’t ever reach the victims, anyways, as we see in Haiti.
Since Jimmy Carter who really does do the sackcloth and ashes work, all US Presidents since Reagan like to party and to hob nob with Hollywood or hang out with oily billionaires or go to China for handouts from our Chinese rulers: WH leaks for propaganda film – Salon.com Greenwald:
As is now well documented, the Obama administration has waged an unprecedented war on whistleblowers, prosecuting more of them under espionage statutes than all prior administrations combined: twice as many as all prior administrations combined, in fact. They are attempting, or have attempted, to imprison whistleblowers who exposed corrupt and illegal NSA eavesdropping, dangerously inept efforts to impede Iran’s nuclear program (which likely strengthened it), the destructive uses of torture, and a litany of previously unknown U.S.-caused civilian deaths and other American war crimes.
But there’s one type of leak of classified information that the White House not only approves of but itself routinely exploits: the type that glorifies the President for propagandistic ends. The transparency group Judicial Watch brought FOIA lawsuits against the administration seeking information regarding the Osama bin Laden raid, but the administration insisted in federal court that the operation is secret and thus not subject to disclosure (even as they were leaking details about the raid tothe press).
And the entire bin Laden mess has led to a collapse in US/Pakistan relations with the Pakistanis destroying our war efforts and making the occupation of Afghanistan 100% more expensive. The US killed 20 Pakistanis this week using drones and Congress cut funds to ‘charities’ in Pakistan (this will help the people there since most of this is bribery money) so soured relations only benefit Russia and China.
Naturally, while violating human rights all over the planet earthe, the US is critical of Iran and Syria in human rights report on ‘tumultuous’ year while the US unveils new tactics to tackle Al Qaeda propaganda as the US Hacks Yemeni Web Sites in Propaganda Campaign. So, hackers are evil but US hackers spreading propaganda are good. Just like civilians are not allowed to fight US invaders but we can use the CIA assassin programs openly and contemptuously. After hacking foreigners, the CIA has private organizations hired to do the same here in America: Propaganda firm owner admits smear campaign against U.S. journalists.
The corporation was mad that reporters talked about them so they posted false information about them online. They started websites in the name of these reporters and put up stuff pretending to be the reporters. The Pentagon is embarrassed but this sort of garbage goes on all the time. A country that embraces physical assassinations thinks nothing of character assassinations.
And the EU, going up in flames and facing economic annihilation on a level worse than Japan lets the US put up missiles aimed at Russia so NATO decides to activate missile shield despite Russian threats. That is, Russia plans to nuke Europe first if there is any bad diplomatic news. I bet this makes the people there feel much safer.

You are so right, Elaine. How stupid do people have to be to not see this?
Human rights are so very very important, here is a link to the latest report on human rights that I could find:

What you are describing is the Shock Doctrine at work!
Do the damage or make money on the hardship of others and then send in the phoney humanitarian group to stop the torture you set up to begin with. If you read about Chile in Naomi Klein’s masterwork (Shock Doctrine) you’ll see the roadmap for all of this.
Elaine, Kissinger once wrote that “Intellectuals are cynical, and cynics will never build a cathedral”.
You wrote:
“Global warming will not be fixed by jet-setting billionaires creating a carbon pollution derivatives game, either. This is far from a solution: it makes everything much worse.”
It might. But was Clinton’s event promoting another carbon trading scheme? Is anyone at all promoting a solution that would be beneficial?
I think you’d prefer that nothing be done about global warming, so you’re taking a cynical position on it. You pick out a few examples of efforts that are counterproductive, or flawed in some other way, then cynically assume that every other effort is exactly the same. It’s a poor argument style. We could similarly argue that tariffs are bad, by picking a few examples of times when they were misused and cynically assuming that those examples represented every tariff. (Economics textbooks often do just that.) Or financial regulation is bad because Sheila Bear is very much a product of the financial industry itself, therefore every regulator will always be corrupt as well.
If you think global warming is not a problem, and it’s being cynically manipulated by elites to increase their power, fine. But when you just assume that every effort to reduce global warming is a scam, you’re wandering across the line between thinking critically and reacting cynically.
‘‘shambolic’ event – TelegraphThe Clinton Foundation Millennium Network fund-raising event, held on Tuesday night in central London, was a “total shambles”’
Fitting, a SHAMBOLIC event was A SHAMBLES.
What wuz the 1% expecting?
I want EVERYONE to have a solar array on their private homes which they can ‘buy’ via paying OVER TIME for it at ZERO INTEREST. I have been a proponent of ‘Power for the People’ for the last 40 years and was even on TV (ABC) about this.
This is the LAST THING ON EARTH the elites want and they made this very, very clear. Their alternative system is to tax the poor who can’t afford to upgrade their energy use and I totally, completely oppose this fake solution.
I am offering a positive solution and the rulers want the exact opposite and they deliberately spooked the left into self-annihilation in supporting these stupid taxes on the poor.
not too many comments yet, as i would expect, because the liberals don’t really like to talk about the global warming tax-your- ass scheme.
i give elaine credit as a liberal for being one of the few to examine the issue before it happens.
i think the reason is that liberals don’t what to acknowledge what conservatives already know-that big government isn’t looking out for you , and can only function if it taxes you. (not just the 1 percent either)
that means taking away what you have, by force if necessary.
