Bill Clinton's Massive War Chest
<?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = O />By Thomas A. DeWeese
Many Americans believe Bill Clinton has spent his years away from the White House simply enjoying the good life of an ex-president. He gets a full security team; travel expense around the world; a cool presidential library equipped with full living quarters; the best tables at the fanciest eating establishments; huge speaking fees to share his own two cents worth of opinion on any given issue; he gets to show his face on television as an appointed spokesman for the latest disaster relief project; and sometimes even gets to represent the United States at some international meeting.
    A fun life, certainly. But such a description in no way represents the reality of Bill Clinton's true impact on the world since leaving the White House.
    In truth, Bill Clinton has been a very busy boy, continuing to carry out the global agenda he orchestrated from the White House, and he's doing it with funds equal to those of the GNP of a small nation. The mission for Clinton's activities is "Global interdependence." The other way to say it is "Global Governance," UN style. Bill is all over the world, creating programs and policy, many times working directly with foreign governments, to bring about a one world government – at the expense of the sovereign nation he once headed.
    The agenda includes promoting the fear tactics of Global Warming, resulting in the creation of programs that force governments to impose massive cut backs on energy use. The result, higher energy costs and energy shortages. Worse, such policies are actually hurting the poor in undeveloped nations where Sustainable Development (the policy for which global warming lies were created). That's because Sustainablists actually put pressure on global corporations and financial institutions to refuse development projects in some poor nations, denying them infrastructure and energy, forcing a future of mud huts and dirty water. Such is the compassion and dedication of Bill Clinton.
    Clinton is perpetrating this global blackmail through his William J. Clinton Foundation, headquartered in  Little Rock, AR. Amazingly, the foundation is fueled by a $140 million annual budget. More amazing is who is giving him that money in support of his globalist plans. The actual financial report filed with the IRS is 3,200 pages long. The government only requires that a non-profit organization list those who have given $5,000 or more. So, if Clinton had been required to list all supporters, there would have been many more pages.
    The biggest contributor to Clinton's globalist war chest was the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which tossed in a hefty $25 million- plus. But that wasn't all the wealthiest man in the world provided for Clinton's promotion of top-down government control. He also made sure that his company, Microsoft, tossed in another $250,000 - $500,000. Google was counted in for that same category, and so was Cisco.
    Some other big hitters in the $10 million - $25 million category were the Government of Norway and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The State of Qatar gave somewhere between $1 million and $5 million, as did the State of Kuwait.  What a perk it is to be a former president who was able to do favors for other countries before leaving office.
    Of course there are the usual suspects: The Ford Foundation threw in over $100,000; as did the United Nations Foundation (don't they raise funds for their own programming? Why are they donating to another foundation?); The Soros Foundation threw in over half a million; as did Steven Spielberg, Proctor and Gamble, and Pfizer. The Rockefeller Foundation handed in somewhere between $1 million and $5 million. Barbra Streisand assured at least another night in one of Bill's bedrooms with a hefty donation of over a million.
    Here's one you working men and women will find interesting: The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers shelled out between $100,000 and $250,000 of workers dues. And for all of you Wal-Mart minimum wage workers, rather than give you a raise, your bosses dumped between $1 million and $5 million through the Wal-Mart Foundation. Do you like to play golf? The PGA Tour gave Clinton $50,000 plus.
    But here is the kicker! Perhaps you remember a little crisis last year in the economy for which a trillion dollars of taxpayer money was rushed into the hands of financial institutions that were "too big to fail!" Watch these numbers: Merrill Lynch and Company Foundation - $100,000 plus; Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc - $100,000 plus; Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. - $50,000 plus; Bank of America Foundation - $500,000 plus; Citi Foundation $1 million plus, General Motors Corporation - $50,000 plus. And for all of you who lost your homes when your mortgage company failed – this one is for you – Freddie Mac – the government agency that so badly handled its duties that it had to be rescued with your tax dollars in an emergency -- $50,000 plus.
    All gave money to Bill Clinton in 2009 to promote global governance -- while the world's economy was collapsing. It's good to be king!
