Look to the Netherlands for Clinton Foundation’s ongoing source of cash
By Judi McLeod August 28, 2016
I
t’s
the ever-gurgling running water from the taps of the borderless
Postcode Lotteries that’s enriching the Clinton Foundation, a fact that
seems to be passing straight over the heads of investigative authorities
trying to source the Foundation’s steady cash flow.
Tragically,
just like its most infamous member, Hillary Clinton, the corrupt
Clinton Foundation, sustained by millions of dollars from Postcode
Lotteries, will never be brought down by FBI investigation.
Even
if the Foundation were forced to send back billions to foreign
countries who bought into Hillary Clinton political favors when she was
Barack Obama’s Secretary of State, the Foundation would thrive and go on
because investigating authorities do not know where to go to turn off
the Foundation’s free-running, borderless taps.
Little
wonder that Bill Clinton, on the Postcode Lottery board of directors to
this very day, crowed back in 2009: “The (Postcode) lottery is the best
thing I’ve seen”.
How do you turn the tap off on the “best thing ever seen”?...
“The
National Postcode Lottery, the second largest lottery in The
Netherlands, has donated over $25 million dollars to the Clinton
Foundation.”
And that’s just the amount that shows on Foundation books.
In essence, the Clintons have won the biggest lottery of all time.
In
coming up with a fail-proof scheme—one that uses million s of
unsuspecting lottery ticket buyers in a market now going worldwide—the
Clintons, you might say, won the lottery and are running Western society
into the ground with it.
Their
lottery booty will not just make them personally rich, it guarantees a
Democrat presidency in 2016 and for long into the foreseeable future.
“Australia,
Norway and Saudi-Arabia each gave the Foundation between $10 and 25
million dollars. They are followed by The Netherlands and Kuwait, with
each $5 to 10 million in donations, and subsequently by Qatar, Brunei
and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) with each between $1 and 5 million
dollars worth of gifts.
Cash gifts from foreign countries are mostly one-offs. Postcode Lotteries are ongoing.
“For more than two decades, the Dutch have been running the Postcode Lottery, which supports charities in the Netherlands and abroad. (The Dutch Government, the Clinton Foundation and the Postcode Lottery)“Since its launch in 1989, it has grown to become the third largest charitable organization worldwide.”“The Dutch aren’t stopping in the Netherlands; recently they have established lotteries in Sweden and Great Britain. With a new initiative to establish Postcode Lotteries in as many countries as possible, the aim is to help as many innovators and charitable organizations as they can make the world a little bit better through a lotto ticket.“The Postcode Lottery is the best thing I have ever seen to involve ordinary people in charitable work. A whole community can win and it must be a great feeling to be a part of it,” said President Bill Clinton, an international ambassador for the Postcode Lotteries.”“The way it works, 50 percent of each 2 euro ticket sold, goes to fund charities, which adds up to billions of dollars for 253 charities worldwide working on everything from Brad Pitt’s Make it Right Foundation, which builds green in New Orleans and elsewhere, to programs that fund health and research, support of children, the environment and cultural issues. The organizers say it is an alternative to a tax encouraging citizens to engage in civic behavior.“In 2011, lotteries in the United States brought in $56 billion - 25 percent, or about $14 billion, went back to the states for government services such as education and senior programs, 60 percent goes to prize winners and 15 percent to retailers. The Dutch Postcode Lottery sets itself apart by funding individual entrepreneurs.“We like encouraging people to take matters into their own hand and create a better world and we also like to encourage entrepreneurship,” Marieke Van Schaik managing director of the Dutch Postcode Lottery told ABC News. “I think it’s wonderful that we can help, and can inspire other people to do something like this.”
Has anyone noticed that voluntary
charitable acts are out, and Postcode “is an alternative to a tax
encouraging citizens to engage in civic behavior” according to its
organizers?
How
many are aware that in some countries, including Britain, Postcode is
set up in such a way that your bank account is automatically deducted.
“But
that’s not all. The Postcode Lottery is managed by Novamedia BV, a
company founded by businessman Boudewijn Poelman. Novamedia has expanded
its lottery franchise to other countries such as Sweden, Germany and
the United Kingdom.
“And indeed, its franchises the People’s Postcode Trust and the Postcode African Trust have also given between a half and a whole million dollars to the Foundation. The Swedish Postcode Foundation gave between $1-5 million, as well as the Swedish Postcode Lottery, which donated between $10 and 25 million dollar.s Together, the Poelman lotteries donated between at least $36 and 52 million dollars.“Here we must ask the same questions. Why didn’t the Lotteries spend such amounts directly on their own affiliated charities? What’s so special about the Clinton Foundation? It is not the case that the Clinton Foundation knows how to spend its money better. This fact check shows that the Clinton Foundation spent nearly 81% of its donations to organization costs, travel costs, trainings and salaries. No more than 19% actually reached the designated charities.”
Hillary
Clinton’s exchange of favors for foreign cash have made the running of
America a free for all for foreign states—many of them intolerant of
America.
But
the biggest clue in blocking the cash flow to the Clinton Foundation
would take authorities to the Netherlands where Postcode Lottery—the
third largest charitable organization worldwide—keeps the Clinton
Foundation in ready cash.
All
Postcode lottery winners are identified by their ZIPcode. Postcode,
which kicked off in the Netherlands in 1989, is going worldwide, meaning
that every country running Postcode lotteries have a data base with the
ZIPcodes of all who buy lottery tickets.
Was
Barack Obama trying to tell us all something, or just feeling on safe
turf when he Tweeted out of the blue on Jan. 9, 2014: “A child’s course
in life should be determined not by the ZIP code she’s born in, but by
the strength of her work ethic”?
But there’s a much more threatening dirty little secret torpedoing America to November 8 disaster that nobody’s even talking about:
Foreign
countries who have propped up the Clinton Foundation for decades with
their taxpayers’ dollars now want in on running America. They intend to
collect on it through the election of Hillary Clinton as America’s 45th
president.
They
rest assured in knowing that the money tap keeping the Clinton
presidential campaign up and running will never be turned off so long as
millions of people worldwide are buying their government-sponsored
lottery tickets.
There’s
an irony in knowing that without their even being aware of it, the
little people of the world, the busboys, the single mothers, carwash
employees et al will have brought about the takeover of America through
the compromise by foreign governments of Hillary Rodham Clinton.
The
dream of people who buy lottery tickets is as old as the lotteries
themselves. There’ll always be room in the lottery business for some
poor working stiff who thinks his winning ticket will pay off his debts
and leave room for a brand new convertible.
This
is the glittery paper Postcode Lottery comes wrapped in: “Postcode
Lottery, an innovative lottery program that funds ideas that make the
world a better place”; “Changing Cities: a Lottery that Helps Save the
World”.
Most
of us know that ‘money doesn’t grow on trees’. But we should know that
it grows on Hillary Clinton and no one’s coming forward to arrest its
invasive growth.

In
line with President Vladimir Putin’s vision for the future, between
2009 and 2013, Russian investors acquired a Canadian mining company.
That company, later known as Uranium One, traded in the material needed
for nuclear weapons and power plants. It also controlled 20% of the
total US uranium production.
It
was Hillary Clinton, at the time serving under President Obama as
Secretary of State, and now running to be the first woman President of
the United States, who had personally approved of the uranium deal with the Russians.
During
that same time frame, the CEO of Uranium One, through his family
foundation, had donated $2.35 million dollars to the Clinton Foundation
founded by her husband Bill Clinton. Before the take-over, a Russian
investment bank with ties to the Kremlin invited Bill to give a short
speech—he earned $500,000 dollar in one day.
Pay to Play
This is just one of the many examples of what Peter Schweizer, author of the book Clinton Cash (2015),
calls the Clintons’ pay-to-play scheme, “Give money to Bill, get favors
from Hill.” The book quickly became a New York Times bestseller.
Pirated copies included, the documentary of the same name has already
drawn over 3 million viewers (here and here).
In response to the book, three FBI departments have since attempted to bring the Clinton Foundation before the court. Meanwhile, a criminal investigation is ongoing.
Bil
Clinton founded his Foundation in 2001. Because his wife HIllary would
serve under Obama, the President ordered the Clinton Foundation make
public its list of donors. This should help Hillary avoid a conflict of
interest. However, in the meantime it has for example become clear that
at least one aid of then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Cheryl Mills, at the same time ahd also done work for the Clinton Foundation.
The Clinton Foundation and the Dutch Government
Aside
from big corporations, foundations and philantropists, the list of
donors also names a number of national governments, among others The
Netherlands. They have donated large amounts of taxpayer money.
Australia,
Norway and Saudi-Arabia each gave the Foundation between $10 and 25
million dollar. They are followed by The Netherlands and Kuwait, with
each $5 to 10 million in donations, and subsequently by Qatar, Brunei
and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) with each between $1 and 5 million
dollars worth of gifts.
Why
would foreign governments want to give their tax payers’ money to an
American charity? Why didn’t they invest in their own development aid
programs directly? Why did they pass charities in their own countries?
Perhaps
they too received a favor from Hill in exchange for money to Bill,
because what stands out is that these donor countries have something in
common. They can all be found high on the list of
oil exporting nations. Saudi-Arabia tops the list as #1, followed by
Kuwait as #3, UAEas #7, Norway #10, Qatar #14, Australia #25, and Brunei
in 35th place. The Netherlands may come in last at number 48, but on
the other hand, the country serves as the tax home of the sixth largest energy corporation in the world, Royal Dutch Shell.
The National Postcode Lottery
The
Netherlands plays a role in the Clinton Foundation for another reason.
The National Postcode Lottery, the second largest lottery in The
Netherlands, has donated over $25 million dollar to the
Clinton Foundation.
But
that’s not all. The Postcode Lottery is managed by Novamedia BV, a
company founded by businessman Boudewijn Poelman. Novamedia has expanded
its lottery franchise to other countries such as Sweden, Germany and
the United Kingdom.
And
indeed, its franchises the People’s Postcode Trust and the Postcode
African Trust have also given between a half and a whole million dollar
to the Foundation. The Swedish Postcode Foundation gave between $1-5
million, as well as the Swedish Postcode Lottery, which donated between
$10 and 25 million dollar. Together, the Poelman lotteries donated
between at least $36 and 52 million dollar.
Here we must ask the same questions. Why didn’t the Lotteries spend such amounts directly on their own affiliated charities?
What’s so special about the Clinton Foundation? It is not the case that
the Clinton Foundation knows how to spend its money better. This fact check shows
that the Clinton Foundation spent nearly 81% of its donations to
organization costs, travel costs, trainings and salaries. No more than
19% actually reached the designated charities.
Blind Idealism, or Borderless Corruption?
On
the basis of his research, Peter Schweizer therefore concludes that the
Clinton Foundation is a front for global corruption. In exchange for
gifts to the Clinton Foundation, as well as speaking fees for Bill
Clinton, corporations and governments have bought a stake in the global
Clinton network.
Thanks
to this loophole, Schweizer claims, the Clintons were able to
bribe African dictators. In turn, they have provided friends of the
Clintons with lucrative oil and mining contracts. For example, in
exchange for a well-paid speech, Bill Clinton called the dictator of
Rwanda Paul Kagame “one of the greatest leaders of our time”.
Everything
is for sale. What once began out of idealism has become borderless
corruption. The Clinton scheme can perhaps best be summarized in the job
title of The Netherlands’ Lilianne Ploumen: Minister of Foreign Trade and Development Aid. To big players in global trade, both matters are one and the same thing.
