More funny Hillary money; Plus: The candidates’ Big Reveal
Pyramid scheme scam operators seem to have a thing for Hillary Clinton. Or vice versa. The NY Post reports (hat tip – William Amos):
A purported pyramid-scheme operator who was run out of Arkansas when Bill Clinton was governor has reinvented himself as the head of an upstate group accused of being a “cult” – and his devotees have pumped thousands into Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential run.
Executives and top associates of the Albany-based NXIVM group – along with their family members – donated $29,900 to Clinton’s presidential campaign, according to federal records.
On March 14 and April 13, records show, more than a dozen contributions poured into Clinton’s coffers from NXIVM, an executive and group-awareness training organization led by Brooklyn-born Keith Raniere, 47. Most were from first-time political donors, each giving the $2,300 maximum…three of the March and April Clinton pledges came from Raniere’s most high-profile followers: Seagram heiresses Clare and Sara Bronfman, and Pamela Cafritz, daughter of D.C. A-listers Buffy and Bill Cafritz. Cafritz shares a condo with Raniere.
The Bronfman sisters are also deeply involved with NXIVM and, according to a 2003 article in Forbes magazine, have loaned millions to the group and provided use of their jet. Their father, Edgar Bronfman Sr., once took NXIVM classes but soon severed ties, telling Forbes, “It’s a cult.”
The “cult” has spread its love around the Clinton family:
Hillary isn’t the only Clinton NXIVM officials are attracted to.
At least three of them – group President Nancy Salzman and the Bronfman sisters – are members of Bill’s charitable organization, the Clinton Global Initiative. Membership is by invitation only and requires at least a $15,000 donation per person for one year.
From the NXIVM website:
NXIVM is a new ethical understanding that allows us to build an internal civilization and have it manifest in the external world. It allows us to explore our most fundamental nature and to begin to redirect our power of creation, a power that we all possess in a very human sense. It is a place where humanity can rise to its noble possibility.
Sounds like total bullcrap.
Perfect match.

Meanwhile, look out for new numbers today as prez candidates do another Big Reveal:
Presidential campaigns aggressively competed for dollars up to the last minute of the third quarter, eager to build their bank accounts for an expensive stretch of media advertising and voter outreach.
Candidates were poised to begin revealing their fundraising numbers Monday, leaving the details for later, when they must file financial reports with the Federal Election Commission. The first votes of the presidential contest are scheduled to be cast in January.
A key number at this stage is how much cash the campaigns have on hand. They may raise a lot, or they may raise a little, but what they have in the bank to spend in the months ahead matters most.
Update: Fred takes in $8 mil.

Hillary’s campaign is like watching a demolition derby where no matter how destroyed the car is with parts falling off at a rapid rate it just keeps on going. Eventually the key part is going to come off and she’s finished.
heaven help us if God decides now to judge our country…seems worst that can come upon us is to have her as president. Grooooaaaan
How much will Hillary recognize as ’suspicious donations’ pour in. She will give her usual line, ” I don;t know but will look into it.”
Have we heard about Hsu’s donations being returned as of late and to whom?
Looks like Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the Clintons. When will the DOJ actually do their job and take a good hard look at these questionable donations? Crickets chirping.
How about both?
I’m surprised that Wisconsin’s Democratic governor, Jim “Craps” Doyle (WEAC/Potawatomi-For Sale), didn’t get some of this cash.
The KEY is the msm.
Absolutely. 99.999% of U.S. Voters, living or dead, will NEVER hear a word about any of this.
What triggers an investigation? Are the feds afraid of appearing partisan so they don’t want to investigate? Is there not enough to investigate yet? Has no one registered an official complain yet? Please, some one explain the legalities.
LOLing at the fools who think the Treason Media are going to do anything to prevent the return of Bill Clinton to the throne via the proxy of Hillary! If a member of the Stupid Party had a fraction of the dirty money that Hillary! has connected to them, they would’ve already been tarred, feathered and run out of the race on a rail. That endless foreign and illegal money floats her boat and we’re only reading about it in the conservative blogs proves that the Treason Media has no intention of reporting on this until Clinton rule is reestablished.
That description of NXIVM from their website is actually classic post-modernism, as in “We create our own reality.” It’s no wonder, then, that they’re supporting liberal candidates for office. Liberals also tend to buy into post-modernism, though apparently not to the degree os NXIVM.
For example, liberals seems to think that changing their label from “liberals” to “progressives” somehow changes the underlying reality of who they actually are.
Uh, coo-koo!
LOL, yup. my thoughts exactly.
You must remember this term if nothing else;
Sociopathic behavior
This describes her psychological state in my opinion. Hence, her flippant attitude when caught committing wrongdoings.
Leftovers from the group that committed mass suicide a few years back in San Diego with 5 bucks in their pockets catching a space-ship back to the mother planet.
coo-koo for Ko-Ko Puffs!!!!!!!! I saw a man walking up the stairs, I saw a man that wasn’t there!!!!!!! The horse has no sleeves, is the mud red in Mississippi or is it Alabama?
While I am still a N00B, it feels good to finally be part of the family!
How can the Hildebeast and its “domestic partner” not realize that their corruption and total lack of civility have made them a laughingstock to most of America?
Many libs i know can’t even mention her name without shaking their own heads in disbelief and shame. And yet she continues to poll well. I don’t get it.
BTW, the mud is red in much of The South, including Misissippi and Alabama.
Did any one see who won the UGA / Bama game?
This “NXIVM” enterprise is about as clear as the horse tip Chico sold Groucho in “A Day At The Races.” For his money, Dr. Hackenbush (Groucho), got a slip of paper that said “ZVQXRPL,” and was then conned into purchasing a code book, a master code book, a breeder’s guide and more. This left Chico free to bet the doctor’s money on the horse Hackenbush had originally hoped to bet on. It was a scheme that would have made Norman Hsu envious…
It’s funny that aj mentions suicide in #13. I was just thinking…when will the Hillary supporter suicides, and mysterious accidents start happening? Before her nomination, after DOJ investigations are initiated, down the stretch after nomination, or all of the above?
I bet on that horse, it’s still running.
Hillary reminds me of a con on the street corner running the shell game.
I wonder if her $5,000.00 per kid plan includes all the illegals? what branch of Gov. will keep track? is she insane? are there really people buying into this “bullcrap”?
Interestingly I read that Doyle has refused to return Hsu money plus money from another Scandle aswell
What does it take to rid ourselves of these criminals?
Let me tell you this: I don’t like Hillary at all. I can’t stand that wicked sounding laughter that she makes. She sounds evil. She looks like a communist too. In fact she is a disaster waiting to happen and I don’t think that anyone will ever stop her either. Moreover furthermore, I can’t help but to think that she is an evil person who should not be here at all. I think she should be sent to Cuba or some other foreign land where the communists rule every day with a rod of iron and no freedom or liberty or prosperity or opportunity to become rich and then if she was gone and all the Demons were gone too then maybe I could make some money and Hillary would never be able to stop me either.
Did you know what? I left a comment here and it disappeared!
Very true. If he would have returned the Hsu and Dennis Troha/Indian casino money in the second quarter, he would have had a negative cash balance.
A couple years back, Doyle took in $20,000 from a travel agency seeking to grease the skids for the most-lucrative of the state travel contracts. Once the story broke, they lost the contract, but Doyle kept the money.
NXIVM could be translated in Roman Numerals as “64,000″.
N = 50
X = 10
IV = 4
M = 1000
Roman Numerals
Just interesting trivia. Who knows what these kooks were thinking?

Roman numeral L is 50. There is no N in Roman numerals.
If any journalist ever had the guts to really expose the Clintons’ fundraising shenanigans, it would be Pulitzer Prize material. Except the Pulitzer committee are probably in the Clintons’ pocket too.
Yes – I was thinking it sounded like a University lecture in post-modernity, no difference….
So Shrillary likes pyramid scheme operators.Well, she is married to someone who ran the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time-from 1992 till 2000.

Here’s an article by Dick Morris. He talks about her laugh…hint, it’s not as spontaneous as it seems.

She gives me the creeps…Kiser Sose or angel of light comes to mind.
