August 3, 2019 - Hillary Clinton, secret campaign donations from Swiss UBS bank account, and IRS whistleblower rewards

Whistleblower Bradley Birkenfeld (l) and attorney Brian Mahany (Credit: Mahany Law)

This post has all the makings of a television special on E! or MTV. Given the political overtones and alleged involvement of Hillary Clinton, maybe the FOX News network too.

This story involves TV star Kevin Costner, Russian oligarch Igor Olenicoff, cosmetic billionaires Leonard and Estée Lauder, Abdul Aziz Abbas (a shady character with direct ties to Saddam Hussein), Hillary Clinton and porn stars. If you want to know how they are all connected, keep reading. This jaw dropping story of wealth and privilege will leave you astounded.

Our story begins with my friend Bradley Birkenfeld. In the history of whistleblowers, no one has earned more than Bradley. In 2012 he received an IRS whistleblower reward of $104 million.

Why so much? Because the IRS whistleblower program lets the government pay whistleblower rewards of up to 30% of whatever the agency collects from tax cheats. In Bradley’s case, that was $780 million from Swiss bank UBS.

Birkenfeld says that UBS was helping rich Americans evade taxes and hide accounts. Federal law doesn’t prevent Americans from having offshore accounts but they must be reported to the IRS and they can’t be used to evade taxes. For many Americans, however, numbered Swiss accounts were used to hide money from the tax man, creditors and even divorcing spouses.

Part of the settlement with UBS was the payment of the $780 million but there was more. UBS agreed to disclose the names of American clients to the IRS. Not only did the IRS want to punish the bank for helping Americans evade taxes, it wanted to make sure that the secret account holders were properly reporting their accounts and paying taxes. Many were not.

Birkenfeld says that UBS only disclosed 4,700 names of secret accounts holders with ties to the United States. He claims, however, that there 19,000 such accounts. In his words, “UBS provided names and account information for only 4,700 of the 19,000 wealthiest Americans complicit in tax fraud through secret undeclared numbered accounts. Many important and well-known UBS clients were knowingly omitted by UBS from the list provided to the IRS, including [Kevin Costner and Leonard Lauder].

Why not everyone? Great question. Birkenfeld says “Evidence supports the inference that the leniency of the United States towards UBS was exchanged for political or financial favors, including an email published by Wikileaks in which former Secretary of State Hillary R. Clinton states that a ‘political’ solution must be engineered for UBS’ decades-long massive tax fraud.”

And how does Bradley Birkenfeld know this? He was a former director of UBS and involved in overseeing the offshore accounts.

Bradley served 31 months for his involvement in the scheme. It is not uncommon for some of the best whistleblowers to also be involved in the underlying misconduct. For many folks, it is better to come clean than spend a life looking over one’s shoulder.

Long out of jail, Bradley Birkenfeld wrote a bestselling book in 2016 called Lucifer’ Banker. Bradley wasn’t afraid to name names but his publisher needed to be careful. And that brings us to Kevin Costner and Leonard Lauder.

Birkenfeld says his original manuscript named Leonard Lauder LAUDER and his mother, Josephine Esther “Estée” Lauder, the founder and namesake of the Estée” Lauder cosmetic.

Specifically, he says the manuscript said, “At least two of [Hillary Clinton’s billionaire friends], Jack Manning and Leonard Lauder, had undeclared secret numbered accounts at UBS in Geneva and had been contributing money to her political campaigns for years.”

He also claimed his manuscript identified Kevin Costner as having an account at UBS.

In September 2016 on the eve of publication, Birkenfeld’s publisher received threats from Leonard Lauder and Kevin Costner. According to him, both threatened legal action against “unless references to them as owners of secret, offshore, undeclared, numbered accounts at UBS, Switzerland in Lucifer’s Banker were censored.”

Costner alleged claimed that he “never had an account with UBS” and in fact, never had “any offshore bank account.” Lauder allegedly didn’t deny the accounts but claimed they were legal, properly reported and that all taxes were properly reported.

Birkenfeld’s publisher took out references to both men.

In May 2019 Birkenfeld sued both Lauder and Kevin Costner. He basically claims they are liars,

“Defendants LAUDERS’ and COSTNER’S false insinuations, averments or denials and legal threats to Plaintiff [Bradley Birkenfeld] and Plaintiff’s publisher coerced the deletion of references to them in the original manuscript of Lucifer’s Banker as owners of secret, offshore, undeclared, numbered bank accounts in Switzerland with UBS, an offshore bank mecca for billionaires with locations in Zurich, Geneva, and Lugano, Switzerland.”

The last minute decision to drop references to Lauder and Costner in the book required thousands of copies to be destroyed and cost Birkenfeld additional legal fees.

In July, Leonard Lauder asked the court to dismiss the lawsuit. He says,

In 2016, Plaintiff Bradley Birkenfeld, a former UBS banker and convicted felon who served time in prison for conspiracy to defraud the United States, sought to defame renowned businessman and philanthropist Leonard Lauder in an about-to-be-published book, Lucifer’s Banker, by stating falsely that Lauder used a Swiss bank account to avoid paying U.S. taxes. The perverse premise of this lawsuit is that Lauder should be liable to Birkenfeld as a result of the “injury” he sustained arising from diminished sales of the book (and associated expenses) allegedly occasioned by Birkenfeld’s inability to peddle such falsehoods publicly. In support of this premise, as well as to disseminate the very defamatory statements concerning Lauder that Plaintiff’s publisher wisely removed from the book, Plaintiff asserts three facially deficient causes of action. This frivolous case—an abuse of the judicial system—should quickly be nipped in the bud.

Nowhere does Lauder directly address whether he had offshore accounts and whether they were legit. Instead he says that Birkenfelld would have no way of knowing whether any taxes were paid on offshore accounts.

It will be interesting to see how Birkenfeld responds.

As to Kevin Costner, he submitted a two page affidavit. Once again, nothing in the affidavit says whether or not he had offshore accounts and whether taxes were paid on any income from any such accounts. A copy of Costner’s affidavit can be found here.

Costner’s lawyers say, however, that Costner has no offshore account. In their words,

In an apparent gambit to raise his own profile and continue to seek his “fifteen minutes of fame,” Birkenfeld has repeatedly spread outrageous malicious lies claiming that Defendant Kevin M. Costner supposedly hid millions of dollars in a secret UBS Swiss bank account to evade US taxes. Birkenfeld has done so despite the fact that Mr. Costner never had any UBS Swiss account or any offshore accounts whatsoever.

What the lawyers and Costner don’t say, however, is whether Costner had interest in any offshore accounts. The IRS reporting rules look not only to the name on the account but also who may be considered a beneficial owner or who has signature authority.

This might sound like splitting hairs but Birkenfeld is extremely savvy and smart. And he remains clear in saying that both Lauder and Costner had offshore accounts at UBS.

What will happen remains to be seen. We expect a ruling later this year. The court could dismiss Birkenfeld’s claims, toss it for procedural reasons (which usually means it can be refiled) or simply say it can proceed.

This is one case we will follow closely. (Mahany Law, 8/3/2019)  (Archive)  h/t @seacaptim

November 4, 2019 - The Clinton Foundation continues to list Epstein's former charity as a donor

Epstein’s former charity, the C.O.U.Q. Foundation, donated $25,000 to Bill and Hillary Clinton’s charity, according to C.O.U.Q.’s 2006 tax return. The group is listed among past and present donors on the Clinton Foundation’s website. (Photo Illustration by Lyne Lucien/The Daily Beast)

(…) The constant trickle of bad press has resulted in some charities and political candidates keeping their distance from the perverted hedge-funder.

In 2006, former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson said he’d distribute Epstein’s $50,000 campaign donation to charities throughout the state, while New York’s gubernatorial candidate Eliot Spitzer and attorney general hopeful Mark Green returned donations of $50,000 and $10,000, respectively, from the billionaire.

In 2015, nonprofits including Florida’s Ballet Palm Beach told Reuters they’d no longer accept Epstein’s money following Giuffre’s headline-grabbing allegations. “The further I can keep myself from anything like that the better,” the ballet’s founder said.

When Epstein tried donating to House Democrats last October, they quickly returned a $10,000 offering from the political pariah. One spokesperson for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee told The Daily Beast, “Without second thought, the DCCC immediately refunded this unsolicited donation.”

Still, others have quietly welcomed Epstein’s cash. His former charity, the C.O.U.Q. Foundation (also known as the Florida Science Foundation), donated $25,000 to Bill and Hillary Clinton’s charity, according to C.O.U.Q.’s 2006 tax return. The group is listed among past and present donors on the Clinton Foundation’s website.

Harvard also kept a $6.5-million check from Epstein to fund the university’s Program for Evolutionary Dynamics, the Harvard Crimson reported in 2006. (Read more: The Daily Beast, 11/04/2019)  (Archive)

(Timeline editor’s note: As of the date this timeline entry was published on October 28, 2021, the C.O.U.Q. Foundation is still listed on the Clinton Foundation website as a donor.)

November 22, 2019 - Rudy Giuliani sends a letter to Senator Graham outlining acting U.S ambassador to Ukraine Bill Taylor's efforts to block witnesses

“It was evident several weeks ago that U.S. chargé d’affaires to Ukraine, Bill Taylor, is one of the current participants in the coup effort.  It was Taylor who engaged in carefully planned text messages with EU Ambassador Gordon Sondland to set-up a narrative helpful to Adam Schiff’s political coup effort.

Bill Taylor was formerly U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine (’06-’09) and later helped the Obama administration to design the laundry operation providing taxpayer financing to Ukraine in exchange for back-channel payments to U.S. politicians and their families.

Today Rudy Giuliani has released a letter to Senator Lindsey Graham outlining how Bill Taylor has blocked VISA’s for Ukrainian ‘whistle-blowers’ who are willing to testify to the corrupt financial scheme.   Unfortunately, Senator Graham, along with dozens of U.S. Senators currently serving, may very well have been a recipient for money through the aforementioned laundry process.  So, good luck with the visas.

U.S. senators write foreign aid policies, rules, and regulations thereby creating the financing mechanisms to transmit U.S. funds.  Those same senators then received a portion of the laundered funds back through their various “institutes” and business connections to the foreign government offices; in this example Ukraine. [ex. Burisma to Biden]

The U.S. State Dept. serves as a distribution network for the authorization of the money laundering by granting conflict waivers, approvals for financing (think Clinton Global Initiative), and permission slips for the payment of foreign money.   The officials within the State Dept. take a cut of the overall payments through a system of “indulgence fees”, junkets, gifts and expense payments to those with political oversight.

If anyone gets too close to revealing the process, writ large, they become a target of the entire apparatus.  President Trump was considered an existential threat to this entire process.  Hence our current political status with the ongoing coup. The letter.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out, because, well, in reality, all of the U.S. Senators (both parties) on the Foreign Relations Committee [Members Here] are participating in the process for receiving taxpayer money and contributions from foreign governments.

A “Codel” is a congressional delegation that takes trips to work out the payment terms/conditions of any changes in graft financing.  This is why Senators spend $20 million on a campaign to earn a job paying $350k/year.  The “institutes” is where the real foreign money comes in; billions paid by governments like China, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Ukraine, etc. etc.  There are trillions at stake.

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell holds the power over these members (and the members of the Senate Intel Committee), because McConnell decides who sits on what committee.  As soon as a Senator starts taking the bribes lobbying funds, McConnell then has full control over that Senator.  This is how the system works.

The McCain Institute is one of the obvious examples of the financing network.  And that is the primary reason why Cindy McCain is such an outspoken critic of President Trump.  In essence, President Trump is standing between her and her next diamond necklace; a dangerous place to be.

So when we think about a Senate Impeachment Trial; and we consider which senators will vote to impeach President Trump, it’s not just a matter of Democrats -vs- Republican.  We need to look at the game of leverage, and the stand-off between those bribed Senators who would prefer President Trump did not interfere in their process.

McConnell has been advising President Trump which Senators are most likely to need their sensibilities eased.   As an example, President Trump met with Lisa Murkowski last week.  Senator Murkowski rakes in millions from the Oil and Gas industry, and she ain’t about to allow horrible Trump to lessen her bank account any more than Cindy McCain will give up her frequent shopper discounts at Tiffany’s.

WASHINGTON DC – Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) is getting a high-profile perch as he joins the Senate during his latest clash with President Trump.

Romney was named on Thursday to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, giving him an opening to wade into several looming foreign policy battles between Congress and the White House.  (link)

Now do you see how McConnell works?

Oh yeah, about those recess appointments…. Once you see the strings on the Marionettes you can never go back to a time when you did not see them. (Conservative Treehouse, 11/23/2019)

December 8, 2019 - OAN Lutsenko interview outlines Marie Yovanovitch perjury; George Kent impeachment motive; Lindsey Graham motive to bury investigation

In a fantastic display of true investigative journalism, One America News journalist Chanel Rion tracked down Ukrainian witnesses as part of an exclusive OAN investigative series. The evidence being discovered dismantles the baseless Adam Schiff impeachment hoax and highlights many corrupt motives for U.S. politicians.

Ms. Rion spoke with Ukrainian former Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko who outlines how former Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch perjured herself before Congress.

What is outlined in this interview is a  problem for all DC politicians across both parties.  The obviously corrupt influence efforts by U.S. Ambassador Yovanovitch as outlined by Lutsenko were not done independently.

Senators from both parties participated in the influence process and part of those influence priorities was exploiting the financial opportunities within Ukraine while simultaneously protecting Joe Biden and his family.  This is where Senator John McCain and Senator Lindsey Graham were working with Marie Yovanovitch.

Imagine what would happen if all of the background information was to reach the general public?  Thus the motive for Lindsey Graham currently working to bury it.

You might remember George Kent and Bill Taylor testified together.

It was evident months ago that U.S. chargé d’affaires to Ukraine, Bill Taylor, was one of the current participants in the coup effort against President Trump.  It was Taylor who engaged in carefully planned text messages with EU Ambassador Gordon Sondland to set-up a narrative helpful to Adam Schiff’s political coup effort.

Bill Taylor was formerly U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine (’06-’09) and later helped the Obama administration to design the laundry operation providing taxpayer financing to Ukraine in exchange for back-channel payments to U.S. politicians and their families.

In November Rudy Giuliani released a letter he sent to Senator Lindsey Graham outlining how Bill Taylor blocked VISA’s for Ukrainian ‘whistle-blowers’ who are willing to testify to the corrupt financial scheme.

Unfortunately, as we are now witnessing, Senator Lindsey Graham, along with dozens of U.S. Senators currently serving, may very well have been recipients for money through the aforementioned laundry process.  The VISA’s are unlikely to get approval for congressional testimony, or Senate impeachment trial witness testimony.

U.S. senators write foreign aid policy, rules and regulations thereby creating the financing mechanisms to transmit U.S. funds.  Those same senators then received a portion of the laundered funds back through their various “institutes” and business connections to the foreign government offices; in this example Ukraine.

January 21, 2020 - Peter Schweizer's new book - "Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America's Progressive Elite"

“For over a decade, the work of five-time New York Times bestselling investigative reporter Peter Schweizer has sent shockwaves through the political universe.

Clinton Cash revealed the Clintons’ international money flow, exposed global corruption, and sparked an FBI investigation. Secret Empires exposed bipartisan corruption and launched congressional investigations. And Throw Them All Out and Extortion prompted passage of the STOCK Act. Indeed, Schweizer’s “follow the money” bombshell revelations have been featured on the front pages of the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, and regularly appear on national news programs, including 60 Minutes.

Now Schweizer and his team of seasoned investigators turn their focus to the nation’s top progressives—politicians who strive to acquire more government power to achieve their political ends.

Can they be trusted with more power?

In Profiles in Corruption, Schweizer offers a deep-dive investigation into the private finances and secrets deals of some of America’s top political leaders. And, as usual, he doesn’t disappoint, with never-before-reported revelations that uncover corruption and abuse of power—all backed up by a mountain of corporate documents and legal filings from around the globe. Learn about how they are making sweetheart deals, generating side income, bending the law to their own benefits, using legislation to advance their own interests, and much more.” (Amazon)

January 29, 2020 - Is AIDS US $90b in taxpayer dollars a global slush fund?

(Credit: Corey’s Dig)

“Well over a hundred billion dollars has siphoned through the hands of individuals with scandalous histories, with over $90 billion from the U.S. Government (taxpayers) alone, via PEPFAR.

• The U.S. Government’s PEPFAR is the largest funder of any nation to a single disease in the world, and the largest donor to the Global Fund, to the tune of over $90 billion to date. Despite this, due to the fact that the Global Fund is located in Geneva, Switzerland, it is not subject to U.S. taxation, jurisdiction, or law. George W. Bush’s 2006 executive order afforded the Global Fund additional exemptions, privileges, and immunities.

• Three U.S. Presidents, over 35 governments, the UNDP, the Global Fund, GAVI, and over two dozen major non-profits along with countless smaller ones, have been cashing in for nearly two decades.

• Bill and Melinda Gates, Jeffrey Sachs, Kofi Annan, and Amir Attaran are listed as the founders of The Global Fund, but who really strategized and implemented its structure, its funding, and its “immunity” status?

• In 2015 USAID awarded Chemonics $9.5 billion to fund these supply chain programs. Only 7% of the drug shipments were delivered on time and in full. This is just one example. There are countless scandals throughout this book.

• There are allegedly 23.3 million people on HIV treatment. The new three-in-one pill runs $75/year per person in developing countries. The Clintons, among others, are cashing in on this new drug. An almost identical therapy in the U.S. runs $39,000 per person, per year. The global HIV drugs market exceeded a value of $24.7 billion in 2018.

This is potentially one of the biggest, ongoing slush funds of our time, perpetrated by over 35 governments, “philanthropists,” politicians, so-called elites, and celebrities, while preying on the weak at heart to donate their hard-earned money to the “Global Fund” that helps children and adults beat AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. But does it really? How much of the money is going toward this and how many people are the meds really reaching? Reports raise serious concerns. We are talking about BILLIONS of dollars changing hands among governments and the wealthy, in addition to “Acts”, “Bills”, and “Executive Orders” all strategically aligning for this operation to function full throttle – across three former U.S. presidencies. Scandal after scandal has rocked this “cause” – a cause that should most definitely be under investigation, but with all of its immunities and safeguards in place, who will investigate?

The Global Fund is an octopus with many arms, including the UNDP receiving funds and acting as an implementing partner in numerous countries. Once a few “elites” and governments orchestrated the structure, everyone joined in. Scores of NGOs lined up, and celebrities quickly jumped aboard in their “ambassador roles” and organized their foundations, including Bono’s ‘RED’ and ‘ONE’ campaigns which beg and shame the public into purchasing their products because the funds allegedly “help save lives.”

Just think what $90 billion dollars could have done to save the homeless, the sick, veterans, single parents, and those in need in the U.S. Just think how many people in developing countries have been exploited.

In order to disclose all of this “open sourced” information and show how it all connects, it is pertinent to understand the timeline before getting into the multitude of actors and the scandal itself. Why? There are many reasons that will become obvious as you read, such as the involvement of three US presidents, and a particular couple that has been very involved with AIDS since the 70’s, and not by way of humanitarianism. Quite the opposite.

Due to how expansive this network is, this book has been broken down into numerous chapters which will be available for download in PDF format in The Bookshop. It begins with the timeline, which will give a very brief breakdown of events and some of the actors involved, just to establish their strategy and the basis for subsequent chapters, which will be rolled out over time. The timeline acts much like a road map and is absolutely mandatory reading to see the strategy involved.” (Read more: Corey’s Digs, 1/29/2020)  (Archive)

March 27, 2020 - The Clinton Foundation, Gates Foundation, Global Fund, WHO, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and possible fraud

The current head of WHO is a Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, formerly the head of the Ministry of Health in Ethiopia, a speaker at the Clinton Foundation’s Clinton Global Initiative, and named chair of the board of the Global Fund in July 2009: Global Fund Board appoints Minister of Health of Ethiopia as Chair

The Global Fund is an independent Geneva-based financing entity launched in 2002 to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria. The US government provides 1/3rd of its funding totaling $18B to date since inception:

The U.S. & The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria

This updated fact sheet examines the key role played by the United States in the Global Fund, an independent, multilateral financing entity designed to raise significant new resources to combat HIV…

Not widely known or broadcasted is the fact that the Clinton Foundation and Clinton HIV/AIDS Initiative (an unauthorized and unapproved program by IRS codes) has been a sub-recipient of Global Fund money (pages 8, 9, 11, 25, 51): Independent Progress Report Clinton HIV/AIDS Initiative in Indonesia 

During Tedros Adhanom’s tenure as board chair of the Global Fund, the organization gets rocked by claims of fraud and misappropriation of funds. The US House Committee on Foreign Relations drafts a report:

Fraud and Abuse of Global Fund – Investments at Risk Without Greater Transparency

“…to ensure that all necessary steps are taken to correct and prevent the misuse of Fund resources.”

(page 6/10) The Congressional report and other reviews minimize the size of the fraud and misappropriation of funds. Others with a more discerning eye had a more critical take.

A full 67% of money spent on an anti-AIDS program in Mauritania was misspent, the investigators told the fund’s board of directors. So did [sic] 36% of the money spent on a program in Mali to fight tuberculosis and malaria, 30% of grants to Djibouti”

How Did the Global Fund Fire Its Inspector General and Then Claim He Worked Without Interference?

The problem here — the loophole the Congress left open and the State Department drove its certification process through — is secrecy.

Who was minding the purse strings of USAID which was the source of funds that went from the US State Dept to the Global Fund at this juncture? Documents we sourced from the State Department show that none other than Secretary Hillary Clinton herself oversaw the USAID funds.

How did the State Department view this fraud at the Global Fund?  From a letter we sourced written by the Government Accountability Project on April 22, 2016, we learned:

“…this documentation strongly indicates an irregular and improper collusion between the Global Fund and the State Department in Washington that cost U.S. taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars in the succeeding years. It is tantamount to fraud.”

At the same time, the Clinton Fdn and Clinton HIV/AIDs and Clinton Health Access Initiative were collecting millions in fees, the Global Fund and also other recipients of Global Fund money who in turn were donors to the Clinton Foundation (classic money laundering). These donors include the governments of the Dominican Republic, Rwanda, and Lesotho. Where was the State Department IG while all this was going on? Oh, yes, that’s right there was no IG for the State Department during HRC’s tenure. How does that happen? Perhaps the same way a Secretary of State sets up a secret server. Rule of law, anybody?

State Department Lacked Top Watchdog During Hillary Clinton Tenure

The State Department had no permanent inspector general during Hillary Clinton’s entire tenure as secretary, leaving in place an acting inspector who had close ties to agency leadership.

April 18, 2020 - At a Clinton Global Initiative University event, Bill Clinton and Gavin Newsom discuss an "army of contact tracers" that will be tracking American citizens

On April 18, 2020, the Clinton Global Initiative University hosted a Coronavirus event to discuss the following:

“Today, President Clinton and Chelsea Clinton held a virtual convening of students, government leaders, and health experts from around the world for the 12^th annual Clinton Global Initiative University (CGI U) meeting. Since its launch in 2007, CGI U has brought together 10,000 college students from around the globe to tackle the world’s most pressing challenges – building “Commitments to Action” that address challenges on their campuses, in their local communities, and around the world.

Today’s program included opportunities for students to hear from government and health leaders, have their questions answered by President Clinton and Chelsea Clinton, collaborate with other students, and respond to a new challenge to build Commitments to Action that respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Following the program, students came together in virtual breakout sessions to discuss their Commitments to Action and responses to the pandemic with peers who are in the same region.

President Clinton and Chelsea Clinton also announced the formation of the CGI U COVID-19 Student Action Fund,(link is external) funded by Founding Partner, Kevin Xu and colleges and universities that comprise the CGI University Network. This fund will provide over $100,000 in funding to student projects that aim to fight the pandemic, including awareness and prevention campaigns; disease monitoring and response systems; support projects for public health practitioners, and other programs.

Part of this event also included a virtual conversation between Bill Clinton and California Governor Gavin Newsom, discussing the “need” to track people “who are positive” with the Wuhan Coronavirus aka COVID-19, and describing the effort in terms of an “army” of young people. “Should we have a contact tracer corps, even if we call it something more elegant?” Clinton asks.

Newsom’s response to Clinton is an affirmative yes, explaining in no uncertain terms:

“The predicate for getting back to some semblance of normalcy is our ability to identify individuals through testing; to be able to trace their contacts; to isolate individuals that have either been exposed or quarantine people that are testing positive.”

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said at his coronavirus briefing on April 30, 2020, that the state will hire thousands of contact tracers as part of the system being developed to help the state return to everyday life.

Not to be outdone, on April 28, 2020, during a virtual town hall with 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton says regarding the coronavirus pandemic, “this is a high stakes time because of the pandemic” and later said, “this would be a terrible crisis to waste.”

On May 4, 2020, we learn California’s Ventura County is hiring “contact tracers” and implementing the program.

June 10, 2020 - Clinton Foundation whistleblowers say Bill Gates negotiated a $100 billion contact tracing deal 6 months before coronavirus pandemic

“Famed Clinton Foundation investigators John Moynihan and Larry Doyle have the Justice Department and IRS — as well as the Clinton Cartel — running for cover. The investigative duo just quietly dropped a massive bomb on all parties, as detailed exclusively on the Thomas Paine Podcast. Listen Above

And now the FEDs are scurrying to help cover up yet another massive national scandal. And covering for the Clinton’s. Again. But why? Paine has the dirt. Truly incredible NEW Intel.” (The True Pundit/Thomas Paine)

“The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation helped negotiate who would score a $100 billion government-backed contact tracing contract in August 2019 — six months before the ‘pandemic’ arrived in the United States and four months before it swept through China.

The shocking revelations were unveiled on the Thomas Paine Podcast and the Moore Paine Show on Patreon by the two investigators who blew the whistle on the massive Clinton Foundation tax fraud during a Congressional hearing in 2018. John Moynihan and Larry Doyle testified in Congress, detailing the fraud and schemes utilized by the Clinton’s to avoid paying up to $2.5 BILLION in federal taxes.

The investigative duo, in their first interview since that bombshell Congressional testimony, revealed to Paine that representatives from the Gates Foundation met with U.S. Congressman Bobby L. Rush at a sit down in Rwanda, East Africa in mid-August 2019 to hash out who would score the windfall from a government contact tracing program. And just last month — nine months after the meetings with the Gates Foundation in Rwanda —  Rush, a Democrat from Illinois, introduced the $100 BILLION H.R. 6666, the COVID-19 Testing, Reaching and Contacting Everyone (TRACE) Act.

Rush’s bill would establish a program run by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for national coronavirus testing and contact tracing.

Paine has since learned Congressman Rush traveled to Rwanda with his spouse from August 12th to 19th, 2019 to take part in talks and a week-long event underwritten by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.

But how can you negotiate the byproducts of monitoring a pandemic six to seven months before the outbreak of the virus even happens?” (The Liberty Beacon, 6/10/2020)

The Clintons are also connected to the contract tracing program:

“Chelsea Clinton, daughter of former president Bill Clinton and failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, sits on the Board of Trustees of an organization that is officially conducting Coronavirus “Contact Tracing” for the state of Massachusetts. This arrangement raises serious concerns about the perceived politicization of the Contact Tracing process, by which teams of investigators track people who are potentially exposed to the virus and the people that those people come into contact with. Chelsea Clinton even did a Clinton Foundation “Why Am I Telling You This” podcast with Paul Farmer, co-founder of Partners in Health, the contact tracing group that Chelsea Clinton sits on the board of. In the interview, Chelsea calls Farmer her “mentor’ and disparages America’s “bounty” of riches, calling it “bounty hoarded, and not easily distributed or accessible.”

Partners in Health was recently selected by Massachusetts governor Charlie Baker to conduct Coronavirus “contact tracing,” a process that involves teams of investigators finding out who infected people have come into contact with. The group is already “training and deploying hundreds of contact tracers.” Some citizens fear the potential for mass surveillance posed by contact tracing, especially in light of a Democrat-introduced bill in Congress to authorize contact tracing “at individuals’ residences.” Partners In Health’s involvement will not assuage many fears, considering the group has received funding from George Soros and Bill Gates organizations and counts Chelsea Clinton on its board of trustees.

Partners in Health lists George Soros’ Open Society Foundations as an official partner, along with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Partners In Health lists Open Society Foundations on its 2015 annual report as a supporter to the tune of $1 million or above, along with the Gates Foundation. Chelsea Clinton serves on Partners in Health’s Board of Trustees, according to its 2019 annual report.

Partners in Health co-founder Paul Farmer’s achievement.org bio notes: “Farmer’s work attracted the support of philanthropists, including George Soros and Bill and Melinda Gates. In 2002, PIH received a $13 million grant from the Global Fund for improvements in the Cange complex. In 2005 the William J. Clinton Foundation funded a Partners in Health AIDS program in Rwanda.” Farmer and Chelsea Clinton did a Clinton Foundation podcast together in 2019.

In response to a 2007 tuberculosis outbreak in Africa, NBC News reported: “Soros’ Open Society Institute announced a $3 million grant to the non-profit organization Partners in Health and Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. The donation will be used to design a model project of community-based XDR-TB treatment in Lesotho. Once treatment guidelines are developed, experts hope the program will be adopted in other poor countries.”

Soros personally announced the grant and said he hoped it would spark a larger project. For this initiative, Partners In Health was cited by name in the propaganda book The Philanthropy of George Soros: Building Open Societies.

In 2011, International Women’s Health Coalition noted, “YP Foundation Founder to Join Paul Farmer, George Soros, at IWHC Gala.” Farmer was honored at the gala, which Guest of a Guest noted had David Rockefeller in attendance.

In 2014, Partners In Health co-founder Paul Farmer secured multi-million dollar Soros financing for a coalition project in Africa. Farmer was featured in an October 2014 video interview on Soros’ Open Society Foundations website, which stated, “In between trips to Liberia, Paul Farmer of Partners In Health visited Open Society’s offices to discuss his work on Ebola. Paul talked about the need to ensure sustainable health systems for people in nations where the virus has spread.” Farmer blasted “fear and conspiracy theories around fatal illnesses” in the video and talked about how to “attack” conspiracy theories with activism.

The video I highlighted of Bill Clinton discussing a potential “Contact Tracer Corps” was taken down, but here is another version of it that features Bill talking to Cuomo and Newsomhttps://t.co/cr1aDlY8X0

June 10, 2020 - The Clinton Foundation whistleblowers give first interview since their congressional hearing and share many fine details

Twitter

Some notes:

Moynihan, Doyle, and Michael Moore discuss the corrupt deal between the Clinton AIDS Initiative (CHAI) and Ranbaxy Laboratories who produced and distributed worthless AIDS medicines.

The FBI raids Ranbaxy in May 2013, yet even after the raid and during the ensuing investigation,  Deborah Birx continues to give them taxpayer funds knowing they were producing useless medicines.

In April 2013, Bill Clinton praises Ranbaxy and Cipla for “their stellar contribution in the fight against the HIV/AIDS scourge, saying their cheap drugs saved millions of lives.”

The whistleblowers also noticed many involved in the CHAI/AIDS drug program are now involved in the Covid vaccine response.

Months later Gates stated, “more testing and contact tracing is needed to safely reopen the US.” (Credit: CNN, 4/26/2020)

In August 2019, Bill Gates negotiates a $100 billion contact tracing deal with Congressman Bobby Rush. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation helped negotiate who would score a $100 billion government-backed contact tracing contract — six months before the ‘pandemic’ arrived in the United States and four months before it hit China.

In May 2019  Bobby Rush, a Democrat from Illinois, introduced the $100 billion H.R. 6666, COVID-19 Testing, Reaching and Contacting Everyone (TRACE) Act.”

Rush’s bill would establish a program for national coronavirus testing and contact tracing and run by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The former head of the World Bank Group, Dr. Jim Yong Kim, founded a non-profit called Partners in Health and they will work with governors across the country to roll out contact tracing.

Corey’s Digs does a good deep dive into the contact tracing scandal.

(…) “To summarize, Bobby Rush has a long history of pay to play and disregarding paying taxes of any kind. Just last August, he traveled to Africa for an Aspen Institute congressional conference of approximately 45 individuals and spent time with Obama and Clinton award winners, Dr. Paul Farmer from Partners in Health who is currently running the contact tracing program in Massachusetts while his partner Jim Yong Kim is rounding up other states, Dr. Jonathan Epstein from EcoHealth Alliance who just had their NIH funding cut due to connections with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and two representatives from the Gates Foundation, while the Gates, Rockefellers, Democracy Fund, and others paid toward the $19,000 dollar expense Rush incurred for this sponsored event. Nine months later, he introduced a bill to dispense $100 billion dollars to NGOs and other organizations to carry out home-to-home contact tracing throughout the country.”

(…) The real alarm bells went off on April 18, 2020 when the Clinton Global Initiative organized a virtual conference and rolled out video clips with Bill Clinton, Gov. Cuomo, Gov. Newsom, Chelsea Clinton, Ophelia Dahl of Partners in Health, and others all discussing the need for contact tracing “armies.”

But the plan had long been masterminded and was already in place for Partners in Health (PIH). Their goal was to dominate the U.S. in these efforts, and they began by announcing their work in Massachusetts, with Paul Farmer leading the way, while Jim Yong Kim was behind the scenes meeting with governors across the country.

Less than two weeks after Congressman Bobby Rush introduced H.R.6666 for $100 billion to NGOs for contact tracing, Partners in Health put out a press release announcing their new ‘contact tracing accompaniment unit’ which would “coordinate and harmonize” approaches across the country by PIH providing small teams of experts, advisers, collaboration, and online toolkits and materials for free.

Yes free, because they will be seeking grants, or shall we say taxpayer dollars. Their initial funding came from The Audacious Project, which is a collaborative funding initiative housed at TED that launched in 2018. Their partners include the Gates Foundation, Virgin Unite, Children’s Investment Fund Foundation, and about 20 others.

PIH is already supporting programs in Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, North Carolina, as well as advising in California, Minnesota, and Maryland.” (Read more: PIH, Bobby Rush, and The Truth Behind Contact Tracing Surveillance/Corey’s Digs, 5/15/2020)  (Archive)

July 31, 2020 - "Fallout: Nuclear Bribes, Russian Spies and the Washington Lies that Enriched the Clinton and Biden Dynasties"

Amazon

The following is an excerpt from the new book “Fallout: Nuclear Bribes, Russian Spies and the Washington Lies that Enriched the Clinton and Biden Dynasties.” 

Skolkovo was perhaps the Kremlin’s boldest maneuver yet. Envious of America’s technological success, the Russians sought to re-create the West Coast high-tech industrial hub in the suburbs of Moscow. But unlike the bottom-up innovation that defines Silicon Valley, where computer geniuses like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs pinched their pennies and built the first personal computers in their garages, Skolkovo was a top-down state-run project that sought to replicate decades of trial and error seemingly overnight.

It was also a ploy to steal American intellectual property and transfer technological secrets to the Kremlin.

Former federal prosecutor Andrew C. McCarthy described the Skolkovo scam best: “The project was like an espionage operation in broad daylight, openly enhancing Russia’s military and cyber capabilities.”

Indeed, multiple Defense Department (DOD) agencies and the FBI condemned Skolkovo as an espionage front that posed a clear and present danger to U.S. national security.

In 2012, the U.S. Army Foreign Military Studies Program at Fort Leavenworth examined the security implications of Skolkovo and concluded that Skolkovo was an apparent “vehicle for worldwide technology transfer to Russia in the areas of information technology, biomedicine, energy, satellite and space technology, and nuclear technology.

The Kremlin and the Obama State Department praised the civilian endeavors of Skolkovo and its “clusters”—information, energy, biomedical, and even space technology (among other seemingly innocuous initiatives). The promoters of Skolkovo in Moscow and Washington conveniently neglected to mention the military applications.

According to the Army’s Fort Leavenworth report:

The Skolkovo Foundation has, in fact, been involved in defense-related activities since December 2011…the [Kremlin’s] operation of Skolkovo and investment positions in companies will likely provide [Russia’s] military awareness of and access to [American] technologies.

The FBI’s Boston field office sent warning letters to American companies involved with Skolkovo alerting them to the possibility that they had fallen prey to a Russian espionage trap. Assistant Special Agent in Charge Lucia Ziobro went so far as to publicly announce that Skolkovo “may be a means for the Russian government to access our nation’s sensitive or classified research, development facilities and dual-use technologies with military and commercial applications.”

DOD’s European Command (EUCOM) posted an alert that stated, “Skolkovo is arguably an overt alternative to clandestine industrial espionage—with the additional distinction that it can achieve such a transfer on a much larger scale and more efficiently.” (Read more: JusttheNews, 7/31/2020)  (Archive)

August 4, 2020 - FBI raids the offices of Ukraine oligarch Igor Kolomoisky in Ohio and Florida

The FBI  raids the offices of Optima Management Group at the One Cleveland Center building. (Credit: Cleveland.com)

“The FBI on Tuesday raided the Cleveland offices of a real estate company tied to a Ukrainian oligarch that owns several downtown buildings.

FBI spokeswoman Vicki Anderson said agents were searching the offices of the Optima Management Group in One Cleveland Center at East 9th Street and St. Clair Avenue. Optima is a conglomerate of companies across the United States that has interests in real estate in Cleveland, including One Cleveland Center, the 55 Public Square building, and the Westin Cleveland Downtown.

(…) Federal authorities in Cleveland have been conducting a wide-ranging probe involving Ukrainian oligarch Igor Kolomoisky that has been ongoing for quite some time. Kolomoisky is a principal of the Privat Group, a large Ukrainian business company, and principals of the company are also part of Optima.

Optima had a much larger presence in Cleveland about a decade ago when it bought several buildings under the leadership of executive Chaim Schochet. Its presence in Northeast Ohio has dwindled in recent years.

Optima also controlled Warren Steel Holdings, a mill northwest of Youngstown that closed in 2016.

Kolomoisky and a fellow Ukrainian billionaire formed PrivatBank in the early 1990s. It became one of Ukraine’s key financial institutions, according to Forbes. The Ukrainian government nationalized the bank in 2016 after an investigation suggested there was large-scale fraud over a decade-long period, Forbes reported.” (Read more: Cleveland.com, 8/04/2020)  (Archive)

October 8, 2020 - Federal judge rules whistleblower case against Clinton Foundation can proceed

Clinton Foundation Whistleblowers: Doyle, Moynihan vs. IRS
In a December 2018 Congressional hearing. (Credit: Fox News)

“A federal judge on Oct. 8 ruled that a whistleblower complaint against the Clinton Foundation can proceed, saying that the IRS “abused its discretion” in attempting to dismiss allegations of wrongdoing by the nonprofit organization.

U.S. Tax Court Judge David Gustafson last week found that the complaint, brought by whistleblowers Lawrence Doyle—a corporate tax compliance expert, and John Moynihan—a former Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) official, “provided ‘specific credible documentation’ supporting their allegations” that the Clinton Foundation potentially evaded paying taxes on millions if not billions of dollars.

The judge struck down the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) request for a summary motion. He said that its Whistleblower Office (WBO) was wrong in denying the whistleblowers’ claims based on an email from the agency’s Criminal Investigation (CI) office that said the complaint was closed.

The record “fails to support the WBO’s conclusion that CI had not proceeded with any action based on petitioners’ information. Accordingly, we deny the motion on the grounds that the WBO abused its discretion in reaching its conclusion, because not all of its factual determinations underlying that conclusion are supported by that record,” Gustafson wrote.

Gustafson also said that based on evidence, he had reason to believe that the FBI was involved in an IRS investigation. He cited information contained within IRS records that had until now been kept secret from the public, in which Doyle and Moynihan discuss their contacts with law enforcement officials.

February 9, 2021 - Clinton donor has secret ties to U.S. intelligence and is convicted after he refuses to help get Trump

“Imaad Zuberi hobnobbed for two decades among America’s political elite, raising millions for Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Hillary Clinton, texting with kings, princes, presidents and prime ministers and jet-setting with Republican senators like Lindsey Graham and John McCain.

Then Zuberi resisted pressure to cooperate in the investigation of then-President Donald Trump’s inauguration committee, and the California millionaire’s world came crashing down. Late last year, he pleaded guilty to what federal prosecutors said was a “mercenary” scheme to funnel large sums of foreign money into U.S. campaign coffers so Zuberi could gain political influence and build his global business empire.

When Zuberi was sentenced last month to 12 years in prison and more than $18 million in fines — one of the harshest penalties ever meted out for a donor fraud case — it seemed like an open-and-shut case of political corruption. To the news media, it was a made-for-TV tale of greed and graft felling a man whose charity and good nature otherwise endeared him to many from Hollywood to Washington.

But back in the nation’s capital, the U.S. government harbored a deep secret about Zuberi, a Pakistani-American who ran a highly successful venture capital firm with reach across the globe.

Just the News has confirmed from multiple current and former U.S. officials that Zuberi enjoyed a long and complex relationship with U.S. intelligence. His early help to the Drug Enforcement Administration with illegal drug trade and the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department in the war on Islamic terrorism in the early 2000s eventually elevated him to becoming a valuable source inside Washington’s security and spy establishment for much of the last two decades, the officials said. They declined to be more specific.

The first hint of that secret emerged recently when U.S. District Court Judge Virginia Phillips ordered the unsealing of court documents, in which the four-letter acronym “CIPA” unexpectedly appeared, with little or no explanation.

 02-09-21_Minute_Order_on_Redactions (1).pdf

CIPA stands for the Classified Information Protection Act, a law that protects the intelligence operations of the United States and shields the release of sensitive information. It’s rare for CIPA to show up in a normal criminal case, let alone one involving political donations. And it signaled that Zuberi may have been much more than just a fundraising, hobnobbing global businessman. Zuberi’s account of his intelligence work is contained in one of the CIPA filings mentioned in the court case.” (Read more: Just the News, 3/16/2021)  (Archive)
