The Farce Is Complete: FIFA, Qatar Donated To The Clinton Foundation

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Earlier today, when commenting on the latest global criminal scandal, that of "rampant corruption" at FIFA, we - jokingly - said: "And now we just sit back and wait to see how many of the defendants sent "donations" to the Clinton Foundation and how many speeches Hillary and/or Bill gave at the Baur au Lac in the past two decades."

Then we decided to make sure the joke wouldn't be on us and that FIFA hadn't indeed donated to the Clinton foundation.

The joke was on us... because not only did FIFA donate to the Clinton Foundation...

 

Adding the following:

FIFA Joins Clinton Global Initiative CGI

 

In response to the invitation to join the Clinton Global Initiative, FIFA has announced their three Commitments to Action ahead of the meeting of the group scheduled for later this week in New York

 

The CGI represents a partnership between the private sector, non-governmental organisations and other global leaders who seek solutions for the world’s most significant issues including poverty relief, education, environmental assistance and healthcare.

 

CGI was founded in 2005 by former US President Bill Clinton.

 

The following are FIFA’s Commitments to Action that will be announced at the annual meeting:

  • 20 Centres for 2010: The twenty Football for Hope Centres will be built across Africa.
  • 1 Goal: "Education for All": A pledge to sign up 30 million people to support universal education through the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™.
  • Sports for Youth Development programme - this initiative plans to use football as a vehicle for social development in Latin America and the Caribbean

FIFA's Secretary General, Jérôme Valcke, said of FIFA’s role in humanitarian work

 

"Our mission as world football's governing body is to develop the game all around the world and to use the power of football for positive social change”.

... Not to mention engage in massive corruption on a global scale.

As well as this:

FIFA has participated in the 2010 Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) Annual Meeting, which took place in New York from 21 to 23 September.

 

The Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting is a premier gathering for heads of state, business executives, and leaders of the non-profit sector from around the world, and this year it took place in New York City, with FIFA represented.

 

"CGI members come from 90 different countries, speak many languages, work in all sectors, and approach problems in unique ways,” President Clinton said. “But together, their desire and capacity to build a better world for our children and grandchildren has resulted in 1,946 commitments, valued at $63 billion, which have already improved nearly 300 million lives."

 

Around the same time last year, at the 2009 CGI Annual Meeting, which was also held in the Big Apple, FIFA made three commitments to the world and was present again this year at the meeting to show that the world governing body has kept its word.

 

One of the main projects announced last year was the ‘20 Centers for 2010’ programme, which was a grand plan to build 20 community centres across Africa over the coming years. A progress report on the centres was given to the CGI participants at one of yesterday’s plenary sessions.

 

"FIFA is proud to be at the CGI Annual Meeting for the second time and to provide an update on the Football for Hope Centres in Africa as well as to participate in a new commitment in cooperation with the Inter-American Development Bank,” said Federico Addiechi, Head of Corporate Social Responsibility at FIFA.

... but so did the Qatar 2022 Supreme Committee, responsible for organizing and winning the 2022 World Cup, a world cup hosting which was also contested by the United States:

 

And from the Qatar 2022 Supreme Committee:

Commitment by Qatar 2022 Supreme Committee

 

In 2013, The Qatar 2022 Supreme Committee (Q22), in partnership with the Qatar National Food Security Programme (QNFSP), committed to utilizing its research and development for sustainable infrastructure at the 2022 FIFA World Cup to improve food security in Qatar, the Middle East, and other arid and water-stressed regions throughout the world. Q22 and QNFSP will build on their carbon-neutral stadium prototype, successfully built in 2010, that can be cooled in the environmental conditions of the Middle East with sustainable technology. Through this commitment they seek to prove the effectiveness and affordability of using both solar-powered hybrid cooling applications and converted football training facilities as housing for high-efficiency greenhouse food production in humid climates. If successful, the application of this innovative technology will allow for year-round food production and will enable farmers to increase the quality, consistency, and productivity of crops while decreasing the amount of water and energy consumed by agricultural production.

As a reminder, the reason why in addition to the DOJ indictment, the Swiss opened a criminal probe into alleged graft linked to the to the 2010 award of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups to Russia and Qatar. Perhaps the Swiss should have a chat with Hillary: she may be able to provide them with some "clues" on just how the decision was made.

Because what better way to mask pervasive global, criminal corruption than to "hide" it in plain view and to dress it in the most noble of causes?

Part of me keeps saying "she's gotta quit the race soon."  The more rational part says "No way.  She's a Clinton and they're not bringing her down with mere proof of felony corrupt practices.  Besides, she's taken a lot of money from powerful people on the promise of being the next President.  She quits, they kill her and she knows it."

Wondering when the media will get on board with this.  Where is Woodward and Bernstein when we need them most? The only way to get people in this country to care is to get these worthless fucks in the mainstream media off their agenda/narrative and begin to act like real journalists again.

Yes they want to get the dirt out no so it will be forgotten.  But by doing this now, they get to complete the pardon list.  How can you be pardoned - that would be around Feb 1 2017 - if you haven't yet been accused of anything?  So FIFA pardoned and Hati gets the World Cup.  The Clintons ran a lot of money through Haiti.

Its some serious Chicago-style knee capping going on, Jarret is no doubt behind it all with an eye toward getting those funds flowing her boss' way AND getting Warren to commit. She's (Warren) not AS crony as Hillary! and ideologically the same as O'Barry, big time nanny state-leftwing statist.

I'm just having fun watching it as the leftwing oligarchs battle for position at the crony-feeding trough, not wanting to be on the losing side.

Which will be Hillary!...she is (and has been) damaged goods, too much baggage for "the pure" to step over or around.

This cunt could outplay you at either sport any day of the fucking week.  Like I said I've played both, Rugby is hard, very hard but you will never take the same kind of hit as you do in american football, but you wouldn't know your little pussy ass has probably never played.  Go ahead go get a bike helmet then let someone tee off on your head, I promise you will still feel it then probably cry like the little bitch you are.  And just like Rugby there are different levels and leagues, yeah the superbowl is a farce, I'm talking college ball where you don't get paid and no one really gives a fuck if you walk off that field or not.  Don't assume you know anything because you watched the superbowl...man I was just messing with you at first but I really think you are a bitch ass pussy at this point, I seriously doubt you've ever gotten off your sofa much less lifted a weight.

I started to read the article.  What a joke.  From the artile:

"What the bill essentially does is create a means for transactions to occur in precious metals. It allows people  to open an account and deposit their precious metals in the state depository. They could then use the electronic system to make payments to any other business or person who also holds an account."

Let see, a government controlled "bank" which stores your gold and issues you promissory notes against the value.  Where have we seen this before?  does anyone remember how it turned out?

Well looks like the "bully on the playground" got mad when he did not get his way.  See how far down the immoral sewer we have come when Soccer's mission is to create social change, which always leaves the 3rd world poor in debt or poorer.  There is some of this in ALL of us unfortunately and one thing is for sure we all will die and face the King of all kings...better be prepared for that meeting.

I want an audit on all the Veteran charities that have inundated everywhere in the past 3 years and see just how much money actually makes it to a Veteran.  I'd say, based on human nature, we would be in shock at how they are taking advantage of people's goodwill.  I wonder if we could find an honest group of auditors..Ernst & Young is out of the running.

The folks at FIFA need to realize that you need to donate just a tad more than $50,000-100,000 to be accepted into the club.

Christ, didn't they take something like $100,000,000 in bribes/kickbacks..??

Greedy fucks need to get with the game and add a couple of zeroes if they want to play with the big kids...

The hard part for people is to separate the logic of the facts, from the emotion that yes this has really happened to the good 'ol USofA. The sooner people accept it, the more day to day political and economic stories make sense. Sadly.

Clinton like Blair was the new left: our pockets are open BOTH ways. Our pragmatism has no ethical boundaries.

Bush like Putin are true imperialists : we want power and the rest is supply chain management. The end justifies the means; SILLY  ! 

What happened to ethics and Montesquieu? You have to go the hell first to find out!

Ahead Of Israel Expulsion Vote U.S. Orders Raid On FIFA

Today the U.S. ordered Swiss police to raid, incarcerate and extradite to the U.S. six FIFA officials for alleged corruption. The raid, with obviously pre-alarmed New York Times reporters on the scene, comes shortly before a FIFA vote to expel Israel from the association.

This Friday the world football association FIFA is meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, for its 65th regular World Congress. One of the votes on the agenda (pdf) is about the "Suspension or expulsion of a member". There is also an "Update on Israel-Palestine".

The Palestinian Football Association has called for a vote to suspend Israel from FIFA:

The Palestinian group objects to Israeli teams playing in the West Bank. They also say Israel restricts movements of Palestinian players between the West Bank and Gaza as well as for international matches.

"They keep bullying here and there, and I think they have no right to keep being the bully of the neighborhood," Palestinian Football Association President Jibril Rajoub said of Israel. "If the Israelis are using the issue of security, I can say that their security concern is mine. I am ready to fix parameters for security concerns, but security should not be used ... as a tool in order to keep this racist, apartheid policies."

He declared the situation in the West Bank far worse than apartheid that existed in South Africa because right-wingers and extremists in Israel want to "delete Palestine." In the 1960s, FIFA suspended South Africa for decades after it failed to comply with the association's nondiscrimination policies. The nation was also expelled from FIFA a month after the Soweto Youth Uprising of 1976.

"I am not asking for the suspension of the Israeli association; I am asking to end the suffering of the Palestinian footballers," Rajoub said. "I am asking to end the grievances, the humiliation we are facing."

The vote requires a 75% majority of the 209 FIFA members. There was a good chance that it was going to be successful.

But now, just by chance, the U.S. government ordered the Swiss police to raid the hotel where the main FIFA functionaries are residing to arrest some of them on corruption charges going back to the early 1990s. The U.S. wants these to be extradited to face a U.S. court.

Also, just by chance, reporters and photographers of the New York Times happen to be in that very Swiss hotel lobby, at 6 am, to capture the incident live:

As leaders of FIFA, soccer’s global governing body, gathered for their annual meeting, more than a dozen plain-clothed Swiss law enforcement officials arrived unannounced at the Baur au Lac hotel, an elegant five-star property with views of the Alps and Lake Zurich. They went to the front desk to get keys and proceeded upstairs to the rooms....The charges allege widespread corruption in FIFA over the past two decades, involving bids for World Cups as well as marketing and broadcast deals, according to three law enforcement officials with direct knowledge of the case. The charges include wire fraud, racketeering and money laundering, and officials said they targeted members of FIFA’s powerful executive committee, which wields enormous power and does its business largely in secret.

While some of the indicted persons are U.S. citizens one wonders what contorted maneuvers the U.S. justice department will make to claim jurisdiction over foreign national FIFA functionaries:

United States law gives the Justice Department wide authority to bring cases against foreign nationals living abroad, an authority that prosecutors have used repeatedly in international terrorism cases. Those cases can hinge on the slightest connection to the United States, like the use of an American bank or Internet service provider.

Is there corruption involved when FIFA decides to run the World Championship in this or that country? Are there kickbacks when it sells media rights? Might there be gambling going on in the casino?

Rick: How can you close me up? On what grounds? Captain Renault: I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here! [a croupier hands Renault a pile of money] Croupier: Your winnings, sir. Captain Renault: Oh, thank you very much.

Additional to their U.S. ordered raid the Swiss also feel compelled to open criminal proceedings around the 2018 and 2022 World Cup FIFA votes. The U.S. lost out against Russia and Qatar in its bid for those games and U.S. hawks still want to change that. It is not that paying bribes to be chosen for world games is unfamiliar to the U.S., but being rejected necessitates regime change at the top of the responsible organization.

In the United States it is legal to bribe politicians, via campaign financing, in practically unlimited amounts. Not one U.S. banker has been indicted for the massive Wall Street fraud that brought the world economy to a halt. The world is aware of this and it does not like the U.S. to lecture it about moral outrages. FIFA, while certainly corrupt, is also the soul of world football and the organizer of the most beloved championship in the world. If the U.S. believes that using something similar to terrorism charges against FIFA will have a positive echo in the world it is very mistaken.

Especially as the just by chance motive for this is pretty obvious.

As an Israeli journalist already gloats:

Anshel Pfeffer Poor Jibril Rajoub. Doesn't look like his gimmick is going to get much attention right now #FIFA

Let me guess: That was a main purpose of this raid?

Feed the children donated $50,000 to $100,000 to Hillary God damned Clinton?

Uh. That can feed a lot of children.

"To feed one child one meal is $0.20. Each bag of food (390 grams) includes 6 one-cup servings. Each 32lb box of food holds 36 bags of food. This is the equivalent of 216 meals per box. Each 40 foot container load of food includes 225,720 meals or 19 pallets of food at a program cost of approximately $56,430."

http://kidsagainsthungerpleasanton.org/faqs-about-us/food-cost

So basically Feed The Children gave Hillary Clinton $50k to $100k instead of providing 225,000 to 500,000 meals to children it was supposed to make sure were fed.

If you donated to Feed The Children or were children that were supposed to be fed but instead went hungry....you've been Corzined.

...Hillary will be well fed tonight.
