Hillary Clinton Reversed Position on Trade Deal With Colombia After Huge Donation to Clinton FoundationA few weeks ago, I wrote about Frank Guistra, a mining magnate -- that means oil -- who gave the Clinton Foundation up to fifty fucking million fucking dollars. Wikipedia shared this tidbit about the Clintons and Guistra. Mr. Giustra became close with former US President Bill Clinton during fundraising efforts for tsunami relief in 2004. Giustra is a member of the board of trustees of the Clinton Foundation. Giustra provided his corporate jet for Clinton's fundraising campaign in Africa.... So this guy gives the Clintons fifty fucking million fucking dollars, and lo and behold, he suddenly has government assistance in getting him into sweet mining situations. The thing with the Clintons, though, is that their crimes are never one-offs. They are always ongoing criminal enterprises. The Clinton Foundation reportedly accepted millions of dollars from a Colombian oil company head before then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton decided to support a trade deal with Colombia despite worries of human rights violations. Oh. I guess I lowballed it. The article now narrates claims that Pacific Rubiales called in the Columbian military to crush a strike against them, in 2011. This generated, obviously, human rights complaints, and this was part of the case against the Columbian Free Trade Agreement. ... I'll now turn to the outfit who actually has the scoop, International Business Times.
Yet as union leaders and human rights activists conveyed these harrowing reports of violence to then-Secretary of State Clinton in late 2011, urging her to pressure the Colombian government to protect labor organizers, she responded first with silence, these organizers say. The State Department publicly praised Colombia’s progress on human rights, thereby permitting hundreds of millions of dollars in U.S. aid to flow to the same Colombian military that labor activists say helped intimidate workers. I can't quote it all, but if you read down a ways, IBT reports that Hillary, while not explaining her abrupt reversal, claims that while she had "concerns" about Columbia human rights violations, such violations had decreased by the time she visited the country, in 2010. Human Rights Watch, on the other hand, say such violations had increased since 2007. So I'm going to trust Hillary Clinton on this. Because, obviously. Is It Time? With Hillary looking increasingly corrupt, the Democrats may have to turn to some of their the lesser-known candidates for President now politicking up in New Hampshire. ![]() | Access Comments | Recent Comments
