This time it wasn’t about logos or burritos, but rather uranium, foreign affairs and serious corruption. The New York Times published an exposé on ties between the Clintons and a sketchy deal which left Putin in control of a significant portion of America’s uranium; uranium it can now sell to Iran and other bad actors in the world.
You can read the 4,500-word Times article or watch the nine-minute-long summary produced by Fox News, but here’s a simplified tick-tock of the deal…
Just don’t bother looking for it on the CBC News website.
And more…
Between 2009 and 2012, the Clinton Foundation raised over $500 million dollars according to a review of IRS documents by The Federalist (2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008). A measly 15 percent of that, or $75 million, went towards programmatic grants. More than $25 million went to fund travel expenses. Nearly $110 million went toward employee salaries and benefits. And a whopping $290 million during that period — nearly 60 percent of all money raised — was classified merely as “other expenses.” Official IRS forms do not list cigar or dry-cleaning expenses as a specific line item. The Clinton Foundation may well be saving lives, but it seems odd that the costs of so many life-saving activities would be classified by the organization itself as just random, miscellaneous expenses.
Just for fun I did a Mitt Rpmney search on the CBC site. Big Bird important, Hillary and uranium, not so much
You would think the Canadian angle to the story would prompt our national broadcaster to show some interest
Trying to figure all this out.
Bill Clinton:
Canadian Uranium Mine Investors:
Millions of Dollars donated to the The Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation.
And Chelsea Clinton might be convicted for tax evasion?
–
And all this time I thought Bill was going to Canada just for Sex or a Knob-job?
me so Stupid…
I’m beginning to get the feeling that government is really just some kind of racket. HillBilly (TM) is a cash cow.

Howard Dean literally being laughed at as he tries weakly to defend the Clintons.
When even the leftard media starts to ridicule you, you know you are done.
I love seeing Hilldabeast getting gored. Its awesome.
Dampening my fun is the sure knowledge that some other SOB is waiting in the wings to soak up all this dirty money flying around.
We need to starve these f-kers out. Tax cut now.
i am very surprised this is being ignored by Canadian media!! Makes me wonder is the Canadian connection is a big Liberal or something?
Everybody notice there was absolutely zero mention of the Hildibeast last night on the “News” BrOAAAdcasts last night for the first time in a month.
Remember the Clinton’s history and how death follows them.
I guess one real question should be – who is going to end up dying over this?
Harkov, with any luck, it’ll be the guy who made and kept a backup copy of HillBilly’s email server
She’s political dead meat now.
Loaded and set for generations of scumbag progeny to come but unelectable.
Doesn’t mean the Dems won’t back her as their rep for the next election.
LOL Yup. “In the event something should ever happen to me………..”
Folks, please forgive the neophyte stock/bonds question, but is there anyway that company can be nationalized? I figure that there can be no better national security reason than this.
Charity starts at Home, and on my private jet, four star hotel room, and personal bank account.
Stuff Bill & Hillary should have said.
“Other expenses” of $290, is the charity possibly, & mainly, a conduit for graft?
C’mon folks, why would you expect the CBC to report this news?
The job of the CBC is to slobber over the Clinton’s, to get down on their journalistic knees and service the High Priest & Priestess of American progressives. CBC will always protect their favorites and attack their enemies. That is their real job because actually doing journalism is just their cover story.
How anyone ever came to believe the CBC is a professional journalistic organization that provides honest coverage of interesting and in this case critical news stories to Canadians is beyond belief. Hillary has been running a side line business that sold State political favors to enemies of America, enriching her and selling out her country and of course the CBC has to cover up the story by ignoring it. Duh!

Romney on the Clinton Foundation’s involvement in the uranium deal: http://insider.foxnews.com/2015/04/24/romney-clinton-cash-uranium-company-deal-looks-bribery
The Clintons have been trading off US security for campaign cash to finance for 2 decades. It’s an MO with them. Staying in power and maintaining a payola schedule to keep your skeletons in the closet and buy DNC influence needs cash flow – that is provided by foundation funding.
The money washed through this “foundation” Laundromat has had sufficient flow to intimidate the DNC and give the Clintons some extortive power in the Dem power ranks.
There may be a Dem war brewing sparked by the Clinton dynasty hogging the Dem ballot but they are still a big coercive force in the DNC – those who take a run at Hitlery better be prepared to weather the massive smears and dirty tricks only big cash and insider connections can produce before she gives in.
Hitlery is an accomplished capo not some prog neophyte
The Clintons are LIARS and THEIVES ! (and worse) They need to be SENT PACKING by the voting public. And that includes darling little Chelsea.
Shrillary don’t care, she’s “pimped her ride” and she be ‘livin in great big way’.

Got a snap in my fingers
Got a rhythm in my walk
As the elephant say
I’m livin’ in a great big way
Got a handful of nothin’
And I watch it like a hawk
Well I’m doin’ OK
I’m livin’ in a great big way
I’m the salt in the ocean
I’m the sun in the sky
I’m a Barack Obama
I’m a million dollars
Long as I’ve got a
Snap in my fingers
Got a rhythm in my walk
Got the devil to pay
I’m livin’ in a great big way.

The attack on Hillary is coming from the Obama nation. They must be terrified that she will purge & hunt them down if elected President
Almost makes one vote for her to get the evil SOB’s in the Obama administration.. She knows all the Corruption in the Democrat party…The pig fight will continue to get ugly.
BTW: IMO Paying bribes is not a crime in Canada, as long as the exchange takes place outside of Canada.
More than that. The Clintons and Obamas hate each other. And they’re backed by different parts of the Democrat constituency. These are the two sides of the Democrat Party now officially at war with each other. The appointees of the Obama administration know they are all for the high jump in 2017 anyway regardless of whether Hillary or the Republicans win. What will be interesting to see is which sides the Leftist meadia in the US takes, while trying to blame it all on the Koch Brothers and Fox news.
There are lots of precedents for nationalization of companies ‘in the national interest’ but it usually is done by socialist governments such as Attlee’s Labour government in Britain post WWII or Trudeau’s Liberals in the ’70s or communist governments, such as those of Lenin, Mao, Castro and Chavez. Under socialist government stock and share holders are usually paid pennies on the dollar by government edict, whereas under communist governments the stock and share holders are stripped of their assets, or convicted of treason and stripped of their assets and executed.
In the case of Uranium1, the company owns no mines in Canada, whether the US can seize the American mines without enacting war powers or proving that the mines are the proceeds of a crime, I don’t know.
A modest proposal:
As has already been said, with governments as corrupt as they’ve become, we should starve them (to death) with huge tax reductions. But, since that will never be enough, we should consider and pass legislation that would make Clinton-variety corruption less profitable: exact punishing levels of taxation on all those who hold high office, and on those they do business with, both during their tenure and forever after.
One mine. Uranium One owns one small in situ leach operation at Willow Ranch, Wyoming. The bulk of its holdings which Rosatom really wanted are much larger in situ leach operations in Kazakhstan. This isn’t about uranium mining. It’s about a Russian state company using a convenient method of funneling money into the Clinto’s charitable foundation.
The klintoons haven’t been paying attention. Obama runs the lamestream presstitutes now.
This has nothing to do with partisan party politics. It is just plain fact.
As we get closer to the 2016 election year,we must remember that we cannot trust Hillary Clinton to create American jobs
The last time she had a meaningful job to do, she outsourced it to Monica Lewinsky.
And Monica blew it.
What, this article was in the NY Times? The Democrats’ amen corner? There really must be something shady going on if they’re going to kneecap not only a Democratic frontrunner, but a FEMALE Democratic frontrunner, in this manner…
This is one yellow cake not even a gay wedding would want.
Just read former PM chretien is on his way to Russia to meet with putin. Hahahaha.
Calls are out for whether this will impede Hellary or not; We can put our trust in the Press and TV … can’t we?
This is good yellow cake, just don’t eat the deadly yellow snow crystals. (Frank Zappa anyone?)
Not really up to speed on this story but a question comes to mind. How is Potash a “strategic” resource…but not uranium??
Canada has controls on uranium resource extraction. Uranium mining in the US is too small to be meaningful. The demand for uranium, about 65,000 tonnes per year is trivial compared to surveyed reserves, let alone natural availability.
