  • Leid Stories—Free Your Mind … About the Clinton Foundation; Charles Ortel Answers Your Questions—09.09.16

    Leid Stories Charles wraps up this week’s special reports on The Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation and related entities with an exclusive Q&A session with Charles Ortel.
    Ortel (charlesortel.com), a former Wall Street banker and investor, gained international attention when he independently investigated General Electric, insurance giant AIG and General Motors before the 2008 financial crash and found them to be engaging in “massive” fraud.
    Since February last year, Ortel has been doing his own investigation of the Clinton Foundation and its affiliated offshoots and has declared the whole enterprise to be “the largest unprosecuted charity fraud in world history.”

  • Leid Stories—The Clinton Foundation: Outside the Law, Yet Shielded By It—09.08.16

    The Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation, and multiple offshoots it has spawned globally in the years since the foundation’s launching in 1997, have been operating illegally and deceptively as charitable organizations, says former Wall Street financial expert, analyst and investor Charles Ortel, who has been presenting the findings of his independent study of the foundation’s operations in an ongoing series on Leid Stories.
    On today’s program Ortel delves into the paradox of how the Clintons, their foundation and related “charitable” organizations have been able to operate outside the law yet seem to be shielded by it.

  • Leid Stories—Pot and Kettle: Hillary Clinton Boldly Assails Trump’s ‘Ethics’ - 9.07.16

    With polls showing Donald Trump gaining ground on Hillary Clinton in the final stretch of the presidential race, Clinton is using all tactical weapons at her disposal to make him an also-ran. Her weapon of choice yesterday was ethics. Clinton boldly assailed Trump’s lack thereof in his debt-laden business operations, his still-unreleased tax returns, his lawsuit-plagued Trump University that went defunct six years ago, and the Trump Foundation’s violation of federal laws prohibiting charities from making political contributions.
    The media failed to see the glaring ironies in Clinton’s attack. But Leid Stories points them out, especially in light of its ongoing series on the Clintons and their eponymous foundation.
    Charles Ortel, the recognized expert on the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation and its multiple pseudophilanthropic offshoots, returns as our special guide through the labyrinth he calls “a massive fraud.”

  • Leid Stories—More Probes, More Evidence of Wrongdoing, But the Clintons’ Eyes Are On the White House—09.06.16

    Sixty-two days before the general election and Hillary Clinton seems convinced that her only problem is beating Donald Trump to the presidency and claiming her “rightful” place in history. Yet she’s at the very center of a political and legal maelstrom that not only has signaled very rough road ahead for her, but in the home stretch has begun to unleash its ambition-blocking power.
    The Clinton Foundation (officially the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation) and its collection of pseudophilanthropic offshoots have put the Clintons—and Hillary’s presidential campaign—under several microscopes. The alarm over what is being discovered and revealed   is getting louder and louder, and wider and wider.
    Financial expert and investor Charles Ortel (charlesortel.com), who independently has been investigating the operations of the Clinton Foundation and its related entities, has been detailing on Leid Stories his contention that the foundation for years has been engaging in “massive charities fraud.”
    In today’s edition of Leid Stories, he continues with his explosive findings, which have become essential to several ongoing investigations.

  • Leid Stories—Election 2016: All the World’s A Stage, and Donald Trump’s On It—09.01.16

    Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s hasty, fly-by meeting yesterday with President Enrique Peña Nieto of Mexico served as a backdrop for a speech he made later in the day at a rally in Phoenix to present his policies on immigration.
    A raucous crowd enthusiastically cheered as Trump railed against President Barack Obama’s “failed” immigration policies—which, he said, Hillary Clinton not only supports, but will add to with new policies that also are destined to fail.
    Trump laid out a 10-point plan he said will go into effect on Day 1 of his presidency. Topping the list are building “a great wall” on the U.S.-Mexico border, mass deportations of the   undocumented, and significantly beefing up law-enforcement agencies to identify, hunt down and deport those who have committed crimes while in the United States or in their countries of origin.
    Media gurus have been analyzing the combined effect of Trump’s meeting with President Peña Nieto. Leid Stories listeners offer their unique perspectives on this significant development in the increasingly tight Trump-Clinton contest in which both candidates’ campaigns have been hobbled by self-inflicted wounds

  • Leid Stories—Detroit: Back to Monumental School Problems; Bernie Sanders: Still Shilling for Hill?—08.31.16

    School districts all across the country are humming with activity, preparing for a new school year. Not so in Detroit, where the state’s largest school district, still under state-imposed emergency management, remains mired in a series of overlapping crises—fiscal, political, administrative and pedagogical—that appear certain to doom any hopes for a productive new year.
    Elena Herrada, an elected member of the “old” school board whose authority over local education was overridden by the state, explains the dire situation with education in her home town.
    Detroit is in its third year of servicing a $20-billion debt under the strict terms imposed by a federal court. Those terms have caused an evisceration of budgets for essential services and practically a bargain-basement giveaway of its land and municipal assets to the politically well-connected.
    Bernie Sanders stunned the political world—and especially 13 million voters who had supported his presidential bid in the primaries—when on July 12, two weeks prior to the Democratic National Convention, he ended his “independent” campaign and in the name of “party unity” instead declared unqualified support of Hillary Clinton for president.
    A lot has happened since then—federal probes, email issues, Clinton Foundation pay-to-play lawlessness, resurfacing of Clinton (Bill’s and Hill’s) history of ethical challenges—that should cause Sanders to rethink his political decision. But no indication from Bernie that he’s troubled about Hillary.

  • Leid Stories—The Clinton Foundation: Over the Top, Yet Under the Radar—08.30.16

    Read most any informational material from the Clinton Foundation about what it and a laundry list of “projects” or “initiatives” it has spawned all over the world do, and you’d probably reach for your checkbook to help support their continued “good works.”
    But as Leid Stories has been revealing in an ongoing investigative series, the Clinton Foundation and its affiliated spinoffs may be the largest case of charities fraud. Several concurrent probes, with others developing, have the foundation and its top officers in the legal crosshairs for running what is believed to be an intricately designed slush fund operating under the guise of philanthropy. The foundation, investigators contend, for years has been a clearing house for “donations” from foreign governments and well-placed corporations and individuals seeking political favors from Bill and Hillary Clinton.
    Financial expert and investor Charles Ortel, who independently has been investigating the operations of the Clinton Foundation and its related entities, has been detailing on Leid Stories his contention that the foundation for years has been engaging in “massive charities fraud.”
    In today’s edition, Ortel answers the question: How did this over-the-top operation escape the attention of regulators for so long?

  • Leid Stories—The Clinton Foundation: Hillary’s Media Flacks Refuse to See the Story—08.29.16

    Leid Stories, in an extended and ongoing series, has been cataloging the highly irregular and blatantly illegal practices of Bill and Hillary Clinton as the driving forces behind the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation—an international conglomerate of purported charities that have been exposed mostly as “fronts” for the solicitation and collection of billions of dollars for various projects of questionable philanthropic purpose.
    The Clintons and their foundation now are at the center of intense, and widening, investigations focusing on how the Clintons might have leveraged the high-level public offices they have held (and, with Mrs. Clinton, currently vying for) to help major “donors” to the foundation gain special access to, and favors from, the international world of business and government. On a parallel track, several governments that generously donated to Clinton Foundation “humanitarian” efforts are questioning not only the integrity of those programs, but where the money went.
    Buffeted by probes already launched, others pending, and still others being demanded by Republican congressional leaders, Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign is in full defense mode. And here, there’s comfort—a “liberal” media that already has taken on the assignment of flack duty, helping to blunt criticisms of the presidential hopeful by ever-so-deftly shifting the focus of the story.
    Leid Stories explains.
