I believe that only the most stupid among us actually believe that Bill Clinton is earning millions from Yucapia for giving investment advice. (That people actually pay to listen to this guy or buy his books are something else entirely.) Cynic that I am, I believe those millions are a down payment on services expected to be rendered once Hillary Clinton is president, a possibility that looked a heckuva lot better before she actually started to run and her "inevitability" was challenged. (Wouldn't you just love to be a fly on the wall to hear what Hillary really thinks about Obama?)
Consider that Bill "works" for a company that has as one of its investors the Sheikh of Dubai. Now consider that Hillary has promised that oil will go down to $60 a barrel after she's elected, which is a pretty serious promise to make. Coincidence?
I have always taken a dim view of the honesty of these two, as my previous blog demonstrates. For instance, I never believed that all Bill got for selling our nuclear secrets to China was the paltry sums paid into his campaign coffers. I always believed that much larger sums went into secret, off-shore accounts. And, now, he "works" for a company that invests in or manages off-shore accounts. Coincidence?
Has some deal already been struck? Is there a quid pro quo we don't know about? I read an article not too long ago that talked about the unusually large bodyguard contingent with which Bill was traveling. What would happen if he and the missus can't deliver on promises already paid for that can't be kept?
Call me a right-wing nut, call me a conspiracy theorist, call me what you will. But, can you honestly say you would be surprised if any of this was true?
