More Hillary Cronyism Revealed: Cisco Used Clinton Foundation To Cover-up Human Rights Abuse In China

In her 2014 memoir “Hard Choices,” Clinton reiterated her support for human-rights advocates in China. She specifically criticized the Great Firewall, writing that after she made comments about the right to dissent in China in 2011, “censors went right to work erasing mentions of my message from the Internet.”

 

But the issue of Chinese repression — and Cisco’s role — was already known by then. In 2009, weeks after Clinton’s State Department had named Cisco a finalist for the secretary of state’s Awards for Corporate Excellence (ACE), a report from the Electronic Freedom Foundation noted “Cisco’s deep involvement” in building the Chinese government’s censorship system. The report pointed out that “Cisco engineers gave a presentation acknowledging the repressive uses for their technology.”

 

Daniel Wade, an attorney who represented Chinese dissidents in a lawsuit against Cisco, told IBTimes that “Cisco knew full well that its products were going to be used to suppress and facilitate the torture of democracy activists.”

 

“Crony capitalism has defined Clinton’s career, from her tenure on the board of Walmart, to the Wall Street execs whom she surrounded herself with at the State Department, to her allegiance to Cisco, even as it violated principles on which she staked her tenure,” said David Segal, executive director of the Internet freedom advocacy group Demand Progress.

 

- From the International Business Times article: Hillary Clinton, Cisco And China: Company Funded Foundation, Was Lauded By Clinton Despite Role In Repression

As many suspected, it turns out that the Clinton Foundation is indeed a tepid cesspool of crony corporate and government donations used to buy influence at the highest levels of Washington D.C. This shouldn’t surprise anyone paying attention, but it will hopefully wake up some Democrats still buying into the deep rooted myth of Hillary Clinton.

David Sirota and his colleagues at International Business Times have been relentless in uncovering several extremely important examples of her pathological cronyism. I highlighted his very important work just last week in the post, This is How Hillary Does Business – An Oil Company, Human Rights Abuses in Colombia and the Clinton Foundation. Here’s an excerpt:

The details of these financial dealings remain murky, but this much is clear: After millions of dollars were pledged by the oil company to the Clinton Foundation — supplemented by millions more from Giustra himself — Secretary Clinton abruptly changed her position on the controversial U.S.-Colombia trade pact. Having opposed the deal as a bad one for labor rights back when she was a presidential candidate in 2008, she now promoted it, calling it “strongly in the interests of both Colombia and the United States.” The change of heart by Clinton and other Democratic leaders enabled congressional passage of a Colombia trade deal that experts say delivered big benefits to foreign investors like Giustra.

 

The details of her family’s entanglements in Colombia echo talk that the Clintons have blurred the lines between their private business and philanthropic interests and those of the nation. And Hillary Clinton’s connections to Pacific Rubiales and Giustra intensify recent questions about whether big donations influenced her decisions as secretary of state.

As it turns out, this was just an appetizer. Despite claiming to be a strong advocate for human rights in China, it turns out she is an even stronger advocate for corporate donations. From the International Business Times:

Cisco Systems had a public relations problem: Having invested $16 billion in the Chinese market, the technology giant was suddenly facing congressional scrutiny over its alleged complicity in building the so-called Great Firewall that helps China’s authoritarian regime censor information and surveil its citizens.

 

The San Jose, California, company endured a high-profile Senate hearing about its Chinese operations in 2008 and reaffirmed its “continued commitment to China.” But the issue wouldn’t die. A group of investors stormed the company’s annual meeting in November 2009, pressing a shareholder resolution that would force the company to prevent the Chinese government from using Cisco technology to engage in what critics said was widespread human-rights abuse.

 

That’s when then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tossed the company a lifeline. Weeks after Cisco executives killed the shareholder initiative, Cisco was honored as a finalist for the State Department’s award for “outstanding corporate citizenship, innovation and democratic principles.” The next year, the company won the award. While the honors were for the company’s work in the Middle East, they gave Cisco a well-timed opportunity to change the subject and present itself as a champion of human rights.

 

What Clinton did not say at the State Department award ceremonies was that Cisco had been pumping money into her family’s foundation. Though the foundation will not release an exact timeline of the contributions, records reviewed by International Business Times show that Cisco had by December 2008 donated from $500,000 to $1 million to the foundation. The company had hired lobbying firms run by former Clinton aides. After the money flowed into the foundation, Clinton’s State Department not only lauded Cisco’s human rights record, it also delivered millions of dollars worth of new government contracts to the company.

 

Internet freedom advocates say Clinton’s moves helped Cisco whitewash its image and also raise questions about the sincerity of her often-stated commitment to human rights.

 

“Crony capitalism has defined Clinton’s career, from her tenure on the board of Walmart, to the Wall Street execs whom she surrounded herself with at the State Department, to her allegiance to Cisco, even as it violated principles on which she staked her tenure,” said David Segal, executive director of the Internet freedom advocacy group Demand Progress.

 

But the issue of Chinese repression — and Cisco’s role — was already known by then. In 2009, weeks after Clinton’s State Department had named Cisco a finalist for the secretary of state’s Awards for Corporate Excellence (ACE), a report from the Electronic Freedom Foundation noted “Cisco’s deep involvement” in building the Chinese government’s censorship system. The report pointed out that “Cisco engineers gave a presentation acknowledging the repressive uses for their technology.”

 

In 2010, the Clinton Foundation gave Cisco CEO John Chambers a high-profile speaking role at its “Turning Ideas Into Action” annual meeting. Cisco also won an ACE that year — just before the Human Rights Law Foundation filed a lawsuit against Cisco outlining what the foundation’s executive director, Terri Marsh, said was the “key role Cisco played in the design, construction, and maintenance of China’s Internet surveillance system.”

 

In an interview with IBTimes, Marsh said that “Cisco’s conduct has enabled an unprecedented and widespread crackdown on religious minorities, Tibetans, and democracy activists in China.” Cisco’s work in China, she said, “runs contrary to Secretary Clinton’s stated commitment to ‘a single Internet where all of humanity has equal access to knowledge and ideas.’”

 

She added: “We are disappointed that the State Department has chosen to reward rather than condemn such a company, and believe that the United States should instead be sending a clear message to American technology corporations that complicity in global human rights abuses is not acceptable.”

 

Daniel Wade, an attorney who represented Chinese dissidents in a lawsuit against Cisco, told IBTimes that “Cisco knew full well that its products were going to be used to suppress and facilitate the torture of democracy activists.”

 

The Electronic Frontier Foundation, which today works with Cisco on an Internet encryption project, said Cisco technology enabled violent repression by the Chinese government.

 

“We have ample evidence to indicate that the technology Cisco created was instrumental in the tracking down of religious minorities, detaining them, and murdering them,” said Rainey Reitman, the EFF’s activism director. “Unfortunately, there hasn’t been a full public accounting.”

There’s shameless, and then there’s Hillary Clinton. She is in a league all by herself.

This, released today, makes the Cisco situation almost benign in comparison. So many elements, from Iran to Ukraine....

Enemies of Hillary Clinton waiting to discredit her bid for the White House are likely to seize on news that one of the biggest benefactors to the Clinton Foundation has been trading with Iran and may be in breach of US sanctions imposed on the country.

Ukrainian oligarch Victor Pinchuk, 54, has courted the Clintons for at least nine years – in the United States, the Alps and Ukraine.

Earlier this year, he was confirmed as the largest individual contributor to the Clinton Foundation, whose aims include the creation of “economic opportunity and growth”. He also has links to the Tony Blair Foundation and represented its biggest single donor in 2013.

http://www.newsweek.com/hillary-clinton-runs-white-house-and-row-over-uk...

Despite all of Pinchuk’s activity with Iran, the State Department apparently took no action against his company or Pinchuk himself. That lack of response finally got the attention of Rep. Steve Stockman last November, before his retirement, who requested that the Department of the Treasury investigate Interpipe. So far, there have been no developments on that front.
The timing of this release is curious. This is a bona-fide scoop, and yet Newsweek published it on a Saturday morning — perhaps the lowest-attention spots in the news cycle.

http://hotair.com/archives/2015/04/18/newsweek-largest-individual-donor-...

The Clinton's fruitful collaboration with Pinchuk began in 2007 when Bill Clinton thanked "Viktor and Elena Pinchuk for their vigorous social activity and the support provided to our international program." That Pinchuk support translates into a first 5 million dollar contribution, followed by others, to the Clinton Global Initiative. This opened the doors to Pinchuk in Washington: for 40,000 dollars a month, he hired lobbyist Douglas E. Schoen, who organized a series of contacts with influential figures, including a dozen meetings in one year, between 2011 and 2012, with State Department officials. This proved to be excellent for business, allowing Pinchuk to increase his exports to the United States, although metallurgists in Pennsylvania and Ohio now accuse him of undercutting U.S. steel tube prices.

http://www.voltairenet.org/article182303.html

The lobbyist mentioned above, Douglas E. Schoen has worked on the campaigns of many Democratic party candidates including Ed Koch and Bill Clinton, and on behalf of corporate clients. He also did work for Senator Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.

I'm very sure this rabbit hole runs deep and wide. Any intrepid investigative journalist willing to make the time and effort would probably find a bevy of shady deals and crony connections. The only problem being, said journalist would most likely end up suicided by nail gun or of faulty automobile brakes.

She's been an immoral, unethical, manipulative bitch her entire life. As a young "lawyer" she was tossed off the House Judiciary Committee staff preparing Articles of Impeachment against Nixon for giving the panel a brief outlining (and ignoring precedent and hiding documents) in how to prevent Nixon from even having legal counsel...lol...political hacktivism at its finest.

If she hadn't been fired and this thing got in front of any competent judge this side of Hitler should would have been disbarred for life.

She's aptly named, Hitlary.

There's no end to the shameful actions of this despicable women.

Hillary Clinton's connections to Monsanto go way back the Rose Law Firm where she worked. Rose represents Monsanto, Tyson, and Walmart-the world leaders in genetic engineering, animal production and industrialized food. She received favors there, as did Bill. In office, Bill's USDA immediately and significantly weakened chicken waste and contamination standards, easing Tyson's poultry-factory expansion, and his USDA head, Espy, was indicted for bribes, money laundering, and much more, with Tyson was the largest corporate offender.

I'm watching and waiting for a recant of her stance here when politically useful. And the idiots will lap it up.

God, can't anyone see she a vile evil bitch Succubus? I hope they need microbiologists in outer Mongolia if she's elected. Living in a yurt would be so much more preferable.

But there were some wonderful MSM highlights along the way, paraphrasing:

lol...yeah Chuck, enthusiastic much?

Now, if you can stop giggling like a fucking school girl and change your pee stained panties to something drier, perhaps you can ask the "Scooby Gang" in the van if they've solved the mystery of the missing 30,000 emails ;-)

This all just goes to show that there is no fixing the system.  It is broken beyond repair.  This cronyism is the LEAST of the problems regarding the Clintons but it does show how endemic it is in our (their) society.  Only a total reset will suffice.  Bring on the EMP and make it global.  It would be the best thing possible for people in the 3rd world.  Their lives would still be hard and short but at least they wouldn't have to worry about being liberated.

She supported NAFTA and GATT, what else do I need to know about her to know that I'm never voting for her? Bill and Hill extended two middle fingers to the unions and to the working class when they were in office last time, I can't see any reason to want to vote for them now. Don't forget that Hillary used to be on the board of Wal-Mart, what more does anyone really need to know? Seeing Hillary promote herself as a "champion of the working class" is a lot like watching Colonel Sanders promoting himself as "the best friend chickens ever had."

As many suspected, it turns out that the Clinton Foundation is indeed a tepid cesspool of crony corporate and government donations used to buy influence at the highest levels of Washington D.C. This shouldn’t surprise anyone paying attention, but it will hopefully wake up some Democrats still buying into the deep rooted myth of Hillary Clinton.

Wishful thinking. Democrats, as Moochelle so eloquently pointed out during the mid-terms, keep their eyes on the prize. Didn't she say that voters should vote for the democrat regardless of any wrongdoing they may have done because they will still be fighting for the right causes (Fabian socialism). Democrats will hold their noses and vote early and often for 'their guy'. If it was a matter of logic, or honor, or rule of law they wouldn't be democrats in the first place. Unfortunately, the same is holding true for the Republicans as well. One party system.

"to her allegiance to Cisco, even as it violated principles on which she staked her tenure"

First rule, axiom of pols and crats is: They believe in nothing, of nothing, and have no principles of their own.
The second axiom of pols and crats is: Everything they say is a lie.
Those two work in tandem, like Yin and Yang of pols and crats.

The third axiom of pols and crats is: It is always about money, power, and division. Always.
The fourth axiom of pols and crats is: If they are telling the truth, they are hiding a bigger lie.

So, to believe a pol or crat has beliefs or principles is to put one's faith in unicorns.

Corporations have no morality because they are not individuals. Therefore on Q99X2 we restricted their funding to zero. The only way they could exist thereafter was upon collective pooling of funds from many individuals. They were also restricted from having CEO's and instead managed collectively by individuals with less than 5,000,000. We had and have no government on Q99X2.

No doubt, the Clinton Foundation is well aware of the humanitarian infractions of its  benefactors, even before donations are made. In fact, that’s probably the primary reason donations are made. Basically it’s an extortion scheme. Like the Mafia, they make you an offer you can’t refuse. Donate to The Foundation and will make you look good in the public eye. Don’t donate, and we will expose your ruthless inhumanitarian activities to the world. And yes we are a worldscale organization, so don’t think you can hide from us. After all, Hillary, Billary, and Chelsea aren’t planning to end their political juggernaut with control of just the Presidency of the United States.

My favorite Hillary shitbag story: 

 

As a 27 year old attorney, green and fresh from law school, Hillary Rodham was fired from her staff position on the congressional Watergate investigating committee by her supervisor, lifelong Democrat Jerry Zeifman. She actually removed and destroyed law library material, histories of case precedents, to try and dupe the committee into thinking her own legal opinion (that Nixon could be blocked from his Constitutional right to hire an attorney) would seem compelling to the committee instead of contrary to established law. 

When asked why Hillary Rodham was fired, Zeifman said in an interview, "Because she was a liar. She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer, she conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the Committee, and the rules of confidentiality."

There are many folks in every society who either choose to not think for themselves for whatever reasons (not enough free time from their required 3 jobs, are very passive, uneducated, etc) or are incapable of such.  Most of these people are good, hard-working folks who simply do not realize the implications of their inactions – personally and collectively to the country. 

The Church's in the US are next in line for blame for their apathy or protection of self-interests (after the individual).  Many of those people who are honest, hard working but refuse to educate themselves for whatever reason, also attend these Churches.  These Churches KNOW the US Troika (US GOV + TBTF WS BANKS & FED RES + US MIC) have destroyed the US for their personal gains yet they refuse to call them out.  Heck, I even had my church here in Dallas - WaterMark Chruch - accuse me of "scorched earth" policy for simply saying as much!

 

I am a God-Fearing man but I will never step foot in an organized religious establishment again.....especially WaterMark Church……and I now understand why the fellow who posted years ago that, atleast modern day, if not all prior, religious establishments are established for, or eventually become, nothing more than a “Population Pacification Program (PPP)”!

smoke and mirrors.  You have the bankers,  TPTB,  and government employees at all levels sucking the blood of we the working people.  You have fully 50% of the population either in the EBT free phone crowd,  unwilling to work,  or government employees including the military.  With the departure of over 20,000 factories in our country since 2000 it is a dearth of middle class jobs that will be the ruination of our country.

I worked for a midwestern manufacturing country that did business in 14 midwestern cities and employed over 200 people.  they closed in 2009 after the collapse.  A 42 year old family owned business that did 25 million in sales in 2005.  The factory sold for 7 cents on a dollar.  I went from well over 90 K a year managing salels forces in two big cities to unemployed after 17 years with them just like that.

How many 50 somethings went through what I have gone through.  I have supported these government employees and leeches who would rather sell crack and get high all my life.

No more,  I made 28 K last year and love it.  I paid the feds less than 1000 dollars.  Joe six pack has become just a quart on Friday night.  He may wake up and realize something is amiss.  If that happens,  maybe , just maybe we have some change.

A fire on ship is not an emergency if there is a car size hole in the bow.  We have a hole in the bow.  It is not a red team, blue team thing.  We are broken.  Soon we will be past the place when the percent of working people can support those that dont or those that steal our money via taxation, interest etc.  Be aware .

It looks like some recent NSA document leaks may suggest that the Cisco PIX and ASA firewalls have the ability to be compromised by the NSA.  It appears that a firmware implant for both the ASA and PIX devices called JETPLOW can be deployed on a firewall target with an exfiltration path to the NSA’s Remote Operations Center.  It seems that as long as DNT’s BANANAGLEE  software implant is on the Cisco PIX or ASA firewall, JETPLOW can be remotely installed and upgraded.  It’s backdoor is pretty far reaching from what we are hearing.

Update

The NSA seems to have a smorgasbord of options to take over remote devices. One of the ways is to even have he NSA to intercept a shipment of networking gear going from the vendor to customer and then the NSA will install it’s backdoor exploit on the device. Another that has been mentioned is the NSA can even review the Windows crash dumps that are sent to Microsoft from your PC and use data from that to exploit a PC.  Other reports state that there are various exploits that are commonly used to remote controll iOS devices(iPhones and iPads) and any GSM based cell phone.  Finally, there is the NIGHTSTAND exploit which is for your WI-FI 802.11 setups that in a perfect scenario can be deployed from 8 miles away!  How many ex-husbands and ex-wives wish they had this at their disposal!

Now another piece of interesting news is that Cisco is stating that all US networking devices are required by law to have surveillance capabilities built-into them.  This is for legitimate court ordered wiretaps and the such.  But the key here is it seems that Cisco is indicating that the NSA was not leveraging these features, but the reported exploits that are noted above.

Censorship in China

Cisco has been criticized for its involvement in censorship in the People's Republic of China.[91] According to author Ethan Gutmann, Cisco and other telecommunications equipment providers supplied the Chinese government with surveillance and Internet infrastructure equipment that is used to block Internet websites and track online activities in China.[92] Cisco says that it does not customize or develop specialized or unique filtering capabilities to enable governments to block access to information and that it sells the same equipment in China as it sells worldwide.[93]

Wired News had uncovered a leaked, confidential Cisco PowerPoint presentation that details the commercial opportunities of the Golden Shield Project of Internet control.[94] In her article, journalist Sarah Stirland accuses Cisco of marketing its technology "specifically as a tool of repression."
