For the Clinton family, the Postcode Lottery is the tap that keeps on running

Clinton getting back into the White House via Postcode Lottery?

Most folks will never win the lottery but keep buying tickets all the same. Hillary, Bill and Chelsea Clinton, whose international Foundation is kept afloat by it, win the lottery every year.

Lost in the news that the charitable foundation run by Hillary Clinton and her family has received as much as $81 million from wealthy international donors who were clients of HSBC’s controversial Swiss bank (), and thoroughly obfuscated by the current Hillary email scandal, the Clinton Foundation is one of the biggest beneficiaries of the Postcode Lottery, 3rd largest charitable organization worldwide. $500,000 a throw sounds like peanuts compared to the $1 million transferred into the New York-based foundation by Frank Giustra, a Canadian mining magnate and one of the foundation’s biggest financial bankers, or donations from the HSBC account of Jeffrey Epstein, the hedge fund manager and convicted sex offender who once flew the former president on his private jet for charity events in Africa. But unlike Giustra’s and Epstein’s, the $500,000 coming in from Postcode Lottery is not a one-of, it’s a $500,000 cash commitment that has been flowing into the Foundation every year since 2005. The ties between the Clintons and Postcode Lottery go beyond financial commitment. Hillary, Bill and Chelsea Clinton are listed as Postcode Lottery ambassadors. All three have been keynote speakers at Postcode events. “The Nationale Postcode Loterij (National Postcode Lottery) is the biggest charity lottery in the Netherlands. It was founded in 1989 by Novamedia, a marketing agency that sets up and runs charity lotteries. Fifty percent of the proceeds of this lottery are donated amongst 81 charities, which, in 2010 amounted to over 270 million euros.” (Wikipedia)

Postcode is owned NovaMedia. On Feb. 10, 2014 lottery owners NovaMedia bought up an IRA gun runner’s publishing company. (Here and Here) Millions of Postcode lottery prize winners are the lot owners whose postal code, a code that forms part of the winners’ residential address, has been drawn. And here we are worried that the lion’s share of Hillary Clinton’s business as Obama’s Secretary of State was conducted from private emails from home! The little known tie-in between the Clintons and the Postcode lottery surfaced when the Swedish Postcode Lottery gave $500,000 to $1 million for the William J. Clinton Foundation. (NPR, Dec. 18, 2008 It may have been easy to overlook when the royal family of Saudi Arabia gave the Clinton foundation about $10 to to 25 million, or when several foreign governments ponied up at least $1 million—including the Middle Eastern nations of Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, as well as the governments of Taiwan and Brunei. (New York Times, Dec. 18, 2008) Then there’s the handful of Middle Eastern business executives and officials who also gave at least $1 million, including Saudi businessmen Abdullah al-Dabbagh, Nasser al-Rashid and Walid Juffali, as well as Issam Fares, a U.S. citizen who previously served as deputy prime minister of Lebanon. All of that is chump change compared to the Dutch national lottery which gave $5 million to $10 million to the Clinton Foundation. (NPR) “The £500,000 in funding the Clinton Foundation received in support from players of the UK Postcode Lottery will be targeted towards the Anchor Farm project in Malawi. Chelsea explained that “since our programme began, farmers in Malawi have increased their profits by 500%” helping to lift them and their families out of poverty.” (PostCodeLottery, Jan. 30, 2014) The Swedish Postcode Lottery gave $500,000 to $1 million to the Foundation. For the Clinton family, the Postcode Lottery is the tap that keeps on running. Is it really any wonder why the Clintons remain steadfastly mum on who the ongoing donors to their 3-person foundation are, or why Hillary refuses to turn over her email server. “Clinton started raising money for his library before leaving the White House. Over the years, the Clintons repeatedly refused to identify all the foundation donors, and continued to do so during Hillary Clinton’s 2007-08 presidential campaign. (FoxNews, Dec. 18, 2008) “Names surfaced nonetheless. Several news organizations unearthed foreign-government donors, and in 2001, Bill Clinton turned over a list of 150 top foundation donors to a House committee investigating his pardon of fugitive businessman Marc Rich, whose ex-wife, Denise Rich, gave the library foundation at least $450,000. Oh, that’s why he got the pardon.” (YahooNews, Dec.18, 2008) The Clintons have come up with the biggest money making gig of all time. Little people the world over buying a ticket they never have a chance to win—20-million alone in Sweden in 2012—are unknowingly paying the Clinton’s way back into power.
