What did AUS/UK obtain in exchange for all that money?
Q
AUSTRALIA has finally ceased pouring millions of dollars into accounts linked to Hillary Clinton’s charities.
Which might make you wonder: Why were we donating to them in the first place?
The federal government confirmed to news.com.au it has not renewed any of its partnerships with the scandal-plagued Clinton Foundation, effectively ending 10 years of taxpayer-funded contributions worth more than $88 million.
IBT wrote that the State Department approved massive commercial arms sales for countries which had donated to the Clinton charity.
More than $165 billion worth of arms sales were approved by the State Department to 20 nations whose governments gave money to the Clinton Foundation, data shows.
The counties buying weapons from the US were the same countries previously condemned for human rights abuses. They included Algeria, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
But what does Australia gain from topping up the Clinton coffers? The Australian reported in February that Australia was “the single biggest foreign government source of funds for the Clinton Foundation” but questions remain unanswered about the agreement between the two parties.
“It’s not clear why Canberra had to go through an American foundation to deliver aid to Asian countries (including Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and Vietnam). There is now every chance the payments will become embroiled in presidential politics.”
The Daily Telegraph wrote in October that “Lo and behold, (Julia Gillard) became chairman (of the Clinton-affiliated Global Partnership for Education) in 2014”, one year after being defeated in a leadership ballot by Kevin Rudd.
Australia cutting ties with the Clinton charities is surprising given Foreign Minister Julie Bishop’s years of support.
In a press release dated September 22, 2014, Ms Bishop committed to five years of support for the Clinton Health Access Initiative, the sister organisation of the Clinton Foundation.
“Since 2006, Australia has contributed $88 million to CHAI,” the statement read.
The Clinton Foundation has been linked to a number of scandals. One involved Russian uranium, another involved aid to earthquake-hit Haiti and a third involved Swiss banking giant UBS AG.

The media will be shown to be just as dirty as the politicians that they work for.

Donald J. Trump Verified account @realDonaldTrump Jan 6 The African American unemployment rate fell to 6.8%, the lowest rate in 45 years. I am so happy about this News! And, in the Washington Post (of all places), headline states, “Trumps first year jobs numbers were very, very good.” 16,395 replies 28,711 retweets 123,919 likes

Originally, I thought [RR-out] meant that Rod Rosenstein was going to be fired and exposed for being a crook. Turns out, Q had posted this stringer before POTUS tweeted about the msm pulling out the ole Ronald Reagan playbook. Another "proof" that Q is very close to the President and is aware of what he's gonna tweet about before it goes live on Twitter.

I've only been waiting for the press to "rediscover" the homeless crisis. I think the only reason they haven't is because so many of them are concentrated in deep blue areas of the country. You do see stories in some places about the homeless crisis in Cali, but it isn't the major social issue it was for Reagan.
