Leid Stories—Closing In On the Clintons’ Massive Charity Fraud, and Finding They Have Lots of Company (Part 2)—10.19.17

Charles Ortel, a former Wall Street banker turned financial investigator who widely is recognized as a leading expert on The Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation (the Clinton Foundation), follows his bombshells about the operations and machinations of the foundation and its principals with new findings that broaden the circle of key players in what he calls “the largest unprosecuted fraud in U.S. history.”

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley announced yesterday that his committee is looking into major conflicts of interest involving the foundation’s financial dealings. Ortel’s reports on Leid Stories centered on multiple initiatives the foundation claimed it was successfully running as a donor-funded charity. But very little about the foundation appears to be operating lawfully under its tax-exempt status. Instead, the foundation continues to operate, outside of its original purpose of building a presidential library, as the Clintons’ personal slush fund. 

Leid Stories—Closing In On the Clintons’ Massive Charity Fraud, and Finding They Have Lots of Company—10.18.17

The Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation didn’t get to be “the largest unprosecuted charity fraud in U.S. history”—as financial investigator Charles Ortel calls it—all by itself; it got lots of help from well-placed individuals and entities from all over the world.

Under the guise that the foundation was/still is operating a range of philanthropic programs that claim to “do good works,” the foundation, as Leid Stories has been reporting over the last two years, really is nothing more than a slush fund.

Charles Ortel, a financial investigator, has been looking into the operations of the foundation and its affiliated entities for the past two years. He discusses new bombshell findings since his last report.

Leid Stories—It’s A Very White World, Again—10.17.17

Leid Stories looks at the way the media define our reality by boldly reinforcing white-supremacist values in their editorial content—signifying a return to the “old days” when whiteness was the standard by which all things, and people, were measured.

No, it’s not the ascendancy of Donald Trump or right-wing ideology in America, says Leid Stories, it might just be that many liberals and progressives aren’t truly committed to give up the benefits of white skin privilege.

Leid Stories—A Democrat Files Articles of Impeachment Against President Trump. It Was A Sad and Lonely Task—10.12.17

Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) seemed to be a lonely man yesterday, although he formally was delivering, presumably with enthusiastic support from his fellow Democrats, articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump. Yet one got the distinct impression that Green was on his own. Just what is going on?

Leid Stories explains the unveiling of Green’s sorta-kinda articles of impeachment.

Housing, transportation, food and clothing—that’s what eats up about 65 percent the average American consumer’s money. The remaining 35 percent? Well, we tend to blow much of it on nonessential stuff—which means we’re not saving for a rainy day. It’s way past time to fix this.
