NEWS UPDATE: Bill Clinton Resigns, or Intends to, from Board of ‘AIDS’-Fighting ‘Clinton Global Initiative’ as Corruption Concerns Grow
August 19, 2016–Variety reported yesterday that former U.S. president Bill Clinton “is resigning from the board” of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), a purported worldwide AIDS-fighting organization under the Clinton Foundation.

Comments (3)Episode 109: It Takes a Pillage – Charles Ortel Tracks the Missing Clinton Foundation Funds, Audits and ‘AIDS’ Missions
The Clinton Health Access Initiative advertises its efforts to “help save the lives of millions of people living with HIV/AIDS in the developing world by dramatically scaling up antiretroviral treatment.” This is just one of many large initiatives of the Clinton Foundation.

This is just one of many concerns we discuss in this Episode, including what might be happening to those hapless “HIV/AIDS” patients in rural areas of the Third World. Continue reading »
