Clinton Foundation: 76-Ton Airlift of Medicine and Medical Supplies Lands in Puerto Rico


44 Companies Step Up to Address Severe Shortages

SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO, October 27, 2017 — Direct Relief today airlifted 152,604 lbs. of urgently needed medical resources to Puerto Rico, where medical shortages persist more than a month after Hurricane Maria devastated the island.

The Direct Relief-chartered MD-11 cargo jet contained $21 million (wholesale) in donated medical resources from 44 companies (full list of companies below), including extensive quantities of intravenous solutions and prescription medications for acute conditions and chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension that can rapidly become medical emergencies if not managed.

“This airlift will go a long way towards helping our fellow Americans in Puerto Rico, and I am eternally grateful to Direct Relief and all of the organizations involved,” said President Bill Clinton, 42nd President of the United States, and founder and board chair of the Clinton Foundation.
“Their efforts are a reminder that when so many people need our help, our common humanity matters even more.”


The Clinton Foundation has supported Direct Relief’s work for years, including the recovery efforts after the 2010 Haiti earthquake and the response to the Ebola epidemic in West Africa in 2014.
In the response to the Caribbean hurricanes this year, the Clinton Foundation has helped to coordinate and advise the team at Direct Relief. Read a from-the-tarmac report from Clinton Foundation staff on the airlift here.

Much More on the relief efforts in Puerto Rico & the superior organizing skills of Direct Relief & The Clinton Foundation's continued good works around the world.

Women’s Media Center Declares Hillary Clinton ‘Wonder Woman’ on her Birthday!

At Capitale in New York City tonight, the Women’s Media Center serenaded Hillary Clinton on her 70th birthday and honored her with their one and only “Wonder Woman Award.”
April Ryan, in a respite from combat in the White House Press Room, was among those honored. Best compliments to all the honorees and congratulations to our Wonder Woman!

Great Honor to Hillary, April Ryan & others.

Great Read, Pics & Hillary's empowering speech transcript from Vanity Fair

On her 70th birthday, Hillary Clinton was an honoree at the Women’s Media Awards, becoming the organization’s inaugural recipient of their Wonder Woman Award—and who better to fit the bill?

As Women’s Media Center co-founder Jane Fonda said in her opening remarks, Clinton has for years been changing lives and ensuring that women’s rights are human rights and vice versa.

Over the years, I’ve watched Hillary break glass ceilings and champion women and girls and fight for human rights domestically and internationally by [leading with] compassion and passion and dedication,” Fonda said.
“She has accomplished so much, all in the face of extremely toxic masculinity. She gets down, but she bounces right back,
and that’s never been more true than right now when the person least qualified in history to be president of the United States is president.”

Bill Clinton ✔ @BillClinton
70 has never looked so beautiful. Happy birthday

ACLU - Documents Show That Kris Kobach Is Dead Set on Suppressing the Right to Vote

Unsealed Documents Show That Kris Kobach Is Dead Set on Suppressing the Right to Vote

By Orion Danjuma, Staff Attorney, ACLU Racial Justice Program
OCTOBER 26, 2017 | 6:00 PM

SNIP

when a federal court ordered excerpts of Kris Kobach’s testimony disclosed along with other documents obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union in our challenge to his restrictive voter registration regime.

The unsealed materials confirm what many have suspected: Kobach has a ready-made plan to gut core voting rights protections enshrined in federal law. And he has been covertly lobbying Trump’s team and other officials from day one to sell them the falsehood that noncitizens are swinging elections.

As the de facto head of President Trump’s election commission, Kobach has positioned himself to lead an all-out assault on the right to vote.

Here are three big plays from Kobach’s voter suppression playbook.

Play 1: Disenfranchise new voters with severe registration restrictions

MORE AT LINK

Play 2: If the law doesn’t let you suppress the vote, pull some strings to get rid of the law


MORE AT LINK

Play 3: Cover your tracks

SNIP
Kobach has been maneuvering behind the scenes to make sure he can impose whatever restrictions he wants without any proof. Why? Because he knows his claims about noncitizens voting are a scam.

Kobach realizes that his law has been disenfranchising tens of thousands of eligible citizens — that is the whole point. And now, he’s poised to do the same nationwide.

Vice President Pence stated that the president’s election commission would begin with “no preconceived notions or preordained results.” That was wrong. As Kobach’s own testimony and documents show, the fix has been in from the start
--------

The game, in play for years is to gain full power & to assure that the keep it.

On November 20, Kobach met with Trump, Bannon, Miller, Kushner, and Priebus to share his secret plan to dismantle the National Voter Registration Act.

Money Laundering - "Trumps Rubles to Dollars Laundromat - You steal it. We conceal it."

http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/congress/article180701541.html

Trump associate Cohen sold four NY buildings for cash to mysterious buyers

BY PETER STONE AND GREG GORDON
ggordon@mcclatchydc.com

SNIP
"An all cash purchase by an LLC of an overvalued property in Manhattan is usually worth a closer look by federal investigators,” said Jaimie Nawaday, a former federal prosecutor and money laundering specialist who is now a partner with the New York law firm Kelley Drye & Warren.
“There are perfectly good reasons to buy and sell through LLCs, but the combination of facts is one that tends to arouse interest.”

Cohen did not answer questions about the buyer’s identity or how the transaction was conducted. Herbert Chaves, a lawyer who served as “manager” for the LLC that paid $10 million for the property, declined comment.

WHAT SHOULD RAISE RED FLAGS AMONG MONEY LAUNDERING EXPERTS ARE PURCHASES WAY ABOVE THE ASSESSED VALUE, COMBINED WITH ALL CASH PURCHASES.
THESE ARE POTENTIAL FINGERPRINTS OF MONEY LAUNDERING.


Louise Shelley, a George Mason University professor specializing in money-laundering

Cohen was interviewed Tuesday by House Intelligence Committee investigators. The Trump campaign’s digital honcho, Brad Parscale, was also questioned by the committee, a congressional staff member said.

NYAG Schneiderman goes after Weinstein Co for civil rights violations

https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/10/23/us/harvey-weinstein-eric-schneiderman.html?referer=https://t.co/7VZglwCtti?amp=1

Mr. Schneiderman said in a statement on Monday. “If sexual harassment or discrimination is pervasive at a company, we want to know.”

On Monday, the attorney general’s Civil Rights Bureau sent a subpoena to the company seeking a long list of documents, including personnel files; criteria for hiring, promoting and firing; formal and informal complaints of sexual harassment or other discrimination based on gender or age; and records showing how such complaints were handled, according to a person who has seen the confidential subpoena and who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

The office is also seeking any documents and communications related to private out-of-court settlements struck with accusers, the person said.
-----

Yesterday I read that Weinstein was heavily funded in the fashion/modeling industry.
(His wife is fashion icon Georgina Chapman)

I am seriously hoping that Schneiderman, already having knowledge of Boris Epstein & Donald Trump's modeling business as a cover for /human sex trafficking/money laundering, that this investigation into Weinstein in NY also snares Trump's modelling business.

AG Schneiderman has been after this corrupt business long before Trump entered the field of politics.

Schneiderman's dragnet casts wider to bring down the business of underage human sex trafficking under the guise of an International Modeling Agency.

I don't believe the players in that industry are NOT connected with each other.
I am counting on Schneiderman to tie one to the other.

Browder Cleared to Travel to US

http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/356774-putin-critic-cleared-to-travel-to-us?amp

Snip
Browder told The Hill that he discovered last week that his status on Homeland Security's Global Entry program and his privileges to enter the U.S. as a citizen of Great Britain had been revoked.

A spokesperson at Customs and Border Protection (CBP) told The Hill late Monday afternoon that Browder had been cleared for travel to the U.S., indicating that the department had initiated a manual review of his application last week, which would result in it being placed in a "pending status."

Snip
However, Browder told The Hill that he was initially notified by CBP via email that his status on the Global Entry program had been changed on Oct. 19, one day after Homeland Security says that his application had been manually approved. That email notification set off the chain of events resulting in Browder discovering that his travel privileges had been suspended.

Browder's account triggered alarm on Capitol Hill, with Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Ben Cardin (D-Md.) urging Homeland Security to immediately review the decision to revoke his travel privileges.

"It would be unfortunate if the U.S. decided to bar him based on a decision by those same Russian officials who have been targeted by this important legislation,"
the lawmakers said in a statement.

Browder is a proponent of the Magnitsky Act, which was signed into law in 2012 in order to punish human rights abusers in Russia.

"On one side there are those
who maintain that private com-
panies such as Mobil and Exxon
should finish the exploration of any
hydrocarbons found.
On the other
side are those who maintain it is
the Puerto Rican people who
should control the exploration and
exploitation of such resources.

What is at stake in this whole
discussion?"

Interesting read.
If anyone cares to discuss or dig for more on this issue, thanks.


IS THIS WHY trump WON'T HELP PUERTO RICO?
With him, I've learned he is an oppurtunist & ruthless in achieving money & power for himself & his allies, Putin & in this case rEXXON Tillerson.

Trump's selection to power was & always will be about Oil & money & power.

Like the vultures they are, the devastation in Puerto Rico & surrounding islands is ripe for the picking in the matter of Oil drilling.
This is key as we all wonder why he is weak on assistance to these people.

The Puerto Rican people wanted to decide how oil is developed & they wanted to keep the resources & $$ for their people & island development.

Mobile Exxon & others wanted it for themselves.
This devastation weakens the govt, the people's voice in this matter & opens the door for global oil vultures to step in.
They must be positively giddy!
